The KU Rayhawks are NOT going through a rough patch. They make Raytown, Missouri proud!

I never really understood the squawks argument of pointing out how many pages there are to a thread that mentions KU in it means we are obsessed with them.  It seems ironic because they're the ones posting on goEMAW.  Also 50% or more of all posts involving KU as a topic of discussion are from beems and timfuck. 

Mocat, please verify my numbers.

I'm just really disappointed that pgs 71 & 72 were somehow overlooked... But, with that said, there is no doubt whatsoever that Timmay has added AT LEAST one full page to this thread with nothing but "X number of pages" posts and likely closer to two pages.

So, uh, what are the odds on the over? I'm thinking about betting my coalmine on this one...

Probably about PK em on O/U 1.5 pages...  Do you have the staff to handle working two coalmines, tho?

when exactly did beems get so lazy as a poster?
all of the ku posters are so shitty now it makes me very sad

[MakeItRain]

yeah at this point i don't understand how KU kids could talk bad about RP. 

it's pretty funny to hear KU kids say "well the hawks may be bad, but K-State will be really bad when OBz retires because hey just look at what Ron Prince did!"  Well Ron won more games in a single year than KU won during the 2010, 2011, and 2012 seasons combined.  Even during Prince's worst season, he still won 5 games.

Also, it's important to remember that Prince was, by all accounts, completely incompetent, but yet, he still bumbled his way into 5 wins at K-State. 

If anything, the Prince era should give confidence to K-Staters nervous about the Post Snyder days.  We can look East with relief and know that, even with Ron Prince, it will never be as bad as any one of the past 3 seasons the Jayhawks have suffered through.

Plus, RONSTOMP, bold & daring, scary smart, Football 101, back to back halfback passes(!) and all of the other Ron-isms.  Even going 17-20 was entertaining.

I can't imagine the team to the east is getting much enjoyment at all out of the past few years

You forgot the garage door, the smoke machine, and the flags. Absolutely the best part of the RP era was the team entrance

[MakeItRain]

KU made a horrible hire and is struggling to overcome it.  Last year, nine of ten Big 12 teams were bowl eligible.  This year, the traditional bottom dweller (Baylor) is probably the best team in the league.  Iowa State is tough.  K-State is tough.  TCU is tough.  It's just a really bad time to be rebuilding if you're in the Big 12 right now (at least when that rebuilding project is at a program like KU).

You have to stop with this, they legitmately have the lowest program standards in America.  There coach is going to go 1-8 in confrerence and the fans are rationalizing it.

The entrances generally were really cool.

The Riley Day "LEFT-LEFT-LEFT RIGHT LEFT" entrances were very odd tho.

dlew, those "paradigm shifts" have all occurred at KU as well.  In fact, it wasn't until we got really good that things started to crumble.  KU started the 2009 season 5-0 and ranked in the top 15, and then something changed and the program collapsed.  It can happen overnight if you hire the wrong coach.  It's very short-sighted to think that just because Snyder has been successful at K-State, the next coach will be successful. 

And for the record, KU fans have not accepted losing, which is why we've had three different coaches in the past five years.  Once a coach digs a program into a hole, it's tough to get out, though, especially when you're digging yourself out in a league where nine of ten teams were bowling last year. 

Last but not least, it's really mind-boggling how anyone who has been a K-State fan for more than two years can just pretend like the program is on cruise control, especially in the midst of a 2-4 (0-3) season.  But then again, most K-State fans didn't follow football until 1993, so it's easy to overlook history when you don't really know anything about it.

I never said KU kids accepted losing.  All the decent KU football fans of which I'm aware are pissed and wish it was possible to fire Weis yesterday, as they should, because he's a complete loser who isn't helping to clean up the mess that Gill left.  They need to hire a non-loser who can win football games.

The K-State program is fragile, but no more fragile than any other above average football program.  It's certainly not on "cruise control" but I'd bet that speedometer will never fall below 4 wins.  Which, admittedly, isn't saying much.  It's really pretty rare to win fewer than four games.  Usually only there's only one or two conference teams that manage it in a given year.

The bottom has gotten much better. Just look at last season when a West Virginia team returned nearly everybody from a BCS bowl-winning team that just demolished Clemson and was one of the worst teams in the league. Just take a look at how bad teams like Baylor, and Oklahoma State used to be and how good they are now. Texas and OU aren't quite as good as they were, but it's not like they are as bad as Baylor and OSU used to be, either. You have your eyes closed if you think the Big 12 is an easier league for a bad team to get bowl eligible than it was in the early 2000s.

When was OSU a bad team?  They've won fewer than seven games once since 2001.   

Also, nobody is talking about the early 2000s.  Only the Prince years ('06-08).

Baylor, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas State, and Iowa State all fielded teams that were just miserable during that time frame. The Big 12 was just awful from 2004 - 2010. We have cut a lot of dead weight and are much tougher now, though 2013 is a down year. Even a down Big 12 in 2013 is much tougher than it was in 2004.

[Ira Hayes]

I wonder if it was this hard for our dads to accept being futility U. Do you think they flailed around like this?

Accepted it and ignored it as much as possible. Just like KU does now. We had Mitch Richmond and Steve Henson but still embraced the impossible underdog that was the football team. We are K-State!

What actually happened is beyond anything we could have imagined.  The thought that we could beat Nebraska or Oklahoma with a team that was actually better than them was a total fantasy...and then it happened...many times.

That's why it's called LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

KU is not anywhere close to Futility U. Their fans may feel like it, but it's not close.

And their AD was in Manhattan when we were Futility U. He knows what he is doing. He should be at KSU.

You're still bringing up 2004 as if Prince was the coach during that year.

JFC, and you guys think I am a bad poster? 


The big-12 played in 7 of the 10 national championships from 2000-2010. Just Awful guys. Awful.

[SkinnyBenny]

You are an awful poster, but you're right about that. There were some down years, but nothing compares to this year's Big XII, which is absolute dog crap.

[lopakman]

Lopakman I checked the numbers, and, roughly 2% of posts on goEMAW reference KU, whereas 100% of beems' posts on goEMAW are on a ksu message board

These numbers are very interesting and tell a story.  Who's going to draw the short straw and have to explain this to beems.

[POWL]

Beems look at this.....73 pages about KU on a KSU board....they are butthurt. there are no 73 page discussions about ksu on any KU forums.

there is no logical reason to believe you won't be looking at losing 40 + conference games in a row

that will be a lot of pages.......maybe 250 ?
