Welp, seven es numero uno in this thread.

Second, I guess. Dad went here, mom too (she didn't grad.). My grandma on my mom's side grew up part of her life in MHK and her dad built a bunch of houses on freemont street (i think that's right). That same grandma went to KSU for two years before moving to Lawrence after she met and married my grandpa. They both graduated from KU. He was a football player and track guy.

First KSU memory? Some big win against Oklahoma in the late 80s Also remember the loss to KU in Detroit in 88. We watched that one during school. I think the first real memory that I knew I was EMAW was when I got pretty sad after Kevin Pritchard and KU beat Steve Henson in Manhattan in 90.

Listened to the first KSU football win under Snyder in my dad's Chevy Celebrity on KSAL in Salina. We were sitting in the Central Mall parking lot going crazy.

1st gen. Parents both started as squawks, finished at Fort Hays. I grew up squawky but have been EMAW since about April of 2006. Little bro went EMAW too.

Daddy Claxton · « **Reply #55 on:** January 25, 2014, 12:41:54 PM »

Both parents and one brother. I'm wearing some sort of Ksu shirt in pretty much every childhood picture of me.

Dad is the tuckiest of tucks but never chose Ksu to finish lower than 4th in his yearly big 8 football pool at work. Then for some reason he lost hope and even cancelled his season tix when they hired some no-name assistant from Iowa. He came back pretty quick but lost his good seats.

First gen (same for emab undergrad). Most of the family are Huskers with smatterings of Jayhawk, CUBuffs, Pokes, Sooners, and Longhorns thrown in there.

My initial diehard memories come from the Mitch Richmond teams. I remember losing several bets when KU beat us in the tournament in 88 (I was a 7th grader). :(

Also, my dad had tickets to a game vs KU in Ahearn when I was in 4th grade, but it was a blizzard that day so we couldn't go.

I remember JJ Smith going up the East sideline in a game, not sure which one. Other vivid early football memories for me are Chris Canty picking off an OU pass to ice the game and beating the hell out of KU the one season they were good in the mid-90s.

Earliest basketball memory at a game is probably the game that we waxed MU by about 50. Favorite somewhat early basketball memory is stealing my mom's cell phone as a frosh in HS so I could order KSU/KU tix and bumming a ride there and back (2 hours each way) on a school night. Every year for me was "this is the year." My friend's big bro got us in the student section. I gave the friend I bummed a ride with my spare ticket for the Beasley year which brought it full circle.

parents went to Syracuse, both were first members of their family to go to college (we're polish, fwiw)

sister currently goes to KSU, but roots for squawk basketball. this is my fault, though. I dropped her on her head as a kid

ksupamplemousse · « **Reply #66 on:** January 30, 2014, 02:27:35 PM »

Grandpa played freshman football and night basketball for K-State before the marines came calling. Grandma was an Alpha Xi Delta and met my gramps at the United Methodist Church on Poyntz Avenue. Parents didn't go to college (both are Cats fans though), but two of my aunts are Wildcats, and the rest of my aunts and uncles are either Squawks or didn't go to college. My wife and I went to K-State, but her entire extended family are KU t-shirt fans...they are the worst.

Grandpa played football for the cats and my dad pitched a no hitter for the bat cats

Most of the fam went to KSU or are townies.

Great Uncle, Father, and now myself. My family is pretty normal so I don't have any cool stories. However Gov Brownback did recognize my dad by name when we ran into him outside of the suite we were watching the 2012 KU game in. (He was his Ag Law teacher and FFA something or other)

My siblings didn't catch the EMAW like I did, but then again I was the only planned child so it makes sense.

First generation. Turned down an Ivy League offer to be EMAW. No regrets.

Wife is third generation.

My parents got married in that church, in fact my Dad never walked at graduation because he was to busy getting hitched. (Wedding was same day as graduation).

My mom is the only KSU grad in the family; she got her Masters in EMAW. My pop was a prof, and I was a townie. I grew up with season tickets to watch good basketball at Ahearn & free entry to watch horrible football at KSU Stadium. First EMAW memory is clambering around underneath the roll-out seats at Ahearn collecting stacks of plastic KSU cups.

They should just rename it the EMAW Chapel of Love.
