the sun will come up spracs. you will feel joy again. hang in there.

Bro, I'm good.  If you recall, I was expecting to lose on Monday.  What I did not expect is for the post-game narrative to be about the behavior of K-State fans and how it is symptomatic of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.  If I were upset--and I'm not--I would take comfort in the fact that no one is talking about the game itself but rather the behavior of KSU fans afterwards.  Here we are two days later, and ESPN has a story on the front page about K-State's contrition.  It's like WOW, you've just pulled off the most improbable upset, and you can't even enjoy it because everyone is frowning towards you and giving you stern looks while solemnly shaking their heads from side to side.

there is no problem and nothing needs to be addressed.  the college game is 125 years old, can you name one time in the past 125 years when court storming has resulted in an injury to a player?

classic example of results-oriented thinking

typical squawk education.  wildcat asks for example of college hoops and squawk replies with example of high school hoops.  sigh.

You didn't specify the college game in your question, though.

[The Big Train]

so let me get this straight, phog is threatening to kill somebody, posting personal information again, beems called us ISIS and this is all over a disorderly conduct ticket after we whipped ku's ass again?

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

KSU's reputation permanently sullied.

Already forgotten, except in the dark hearts of butthurt squawkers.

Shrug it off all you want, I just know I would be disappointed and embarrassed if my degree-granting institution was all over the news for this shameful display.

You serious Clark? Why should I be embarassed that one out of hundreds of thousands of kids who have attended my fine alma mater did something dumb? If that were the standard, I think KU alums would be downright mortified.

One kid bumps one of their basketball players: embarrassing for all of Kansas State University

Dead beat dad's, sink batterers, elevator molesters, bb gun attackers, bouncer spitters, drunk drivers and more (all members of the beloved KU basketball team in the last few years): nothing to see here

You should contact all of the national media outlets and see why they haven't written anything about all of the stuff that happens at KU.  I'm sure this is all just a conspiracy to make K-State fans look bad.

[Dugout DickStone]

they don't care about ku

[The Big Train]

beems you know the administration at ku doesnt release what really happened

[ksupamplemousse]

ESPN has been leading a campaign against court storming for awhile now, it's part of that faux moral outrage thing they do to attract viewers. I don't think many people on this board are that upset about their coverage, because we realize this has very little to do with K-State, and is just an opportunity for a big corporation to seem empathetic for a couple days. You seem to be the one that is continually intimating that we are tearing our clothes at the injustice of it all. I haven't really seen that at all. It's possible that you're constructing a false narrative.

[Gooch]

I'm pretty sure some of that stuff has been reported by the national media. 

This has been fantastic publicity, our AD has been on ESPN, several national radio shows, it's been great.

Pretty much free advertising.

Come to KSU beat KU's ass repeatedly and party rock your face off.

[Stevesie60]

I assume that due to the carnage of court storming that KU will immediately stop rushing the field after football wins, right Beems?

[8manpick]

In most cases, the Lawrence courts were able to "take care of" these things, and they didn't end up going national

bumping into someone was def worse than all of those

[Spracne]

I will admit at least 30% of the blame is with KU in this matter.  If we weren't so awesome, then the prospect of beating us wouldn't elicit such uncontrollable mania from the unwashed masses in attendance.  Still, this incident was a hair away from exploding into a tragedy.  Now that Jayhawk Nation has thrown its support behind this effort, I expect waves to be made. Waves of wheat.

[OregonSmock]

Yep, unwanted physical contact towards an opposing team's player is completely normal, acceptable behavior, and it's obvious at this point that Nathan Powers and the entire K-State fanbase had every right to act the way they did on Monday night.  You guys should be proud of the way things transpired.  Congrats on a hard-faught win, and good luck the rest of the season.

Still waiting on that WSJ link.

thanks for the kind words beems

Can we quit calling what happened "violence"? I mean, people have been bumped harder walking down the street looking at their phone

[Dr Rick Daris]

instead of dealing with the fact that they've been passed by two instate hoops programs, jhawkers nationwide choose instead to lash out a single college freshman from other school. film at eleven.

all the butthurt about it makes me enjoy it a ton more

it seriously is the best thing that could've possibly happened

[steve dave]

[Dugout DickStone]

How many girls are kissing Nathan this week?
