KU fans complaining about the banana incident from 1978 grows tiresome.  How quickly they forget it was a merely a response to the antics orchestrated by ku students a few weeks before.  From the February 25, 1983 LJ World:

"In January 1978, KU fans at Allen Fieldhouse tossed hot dogs onto the court when flashy Wildcat Curtis Redding was introduced, as an indication of his gregarious on-court manner. . . . The Cat fans responded in kind the following month, tossing more than 100 bananas onto the court when Jayhawk Donnie Von Moore was introduced in front of a Manhattan crowd."

Hot dogs = not racist

Bananas = definitely racist

Didn't Von Moore eat the bananas and shrug off the whole thing? At least that's what I have heard of the story.

That doesn't make it better, cas.

Yeah I'm not suggesting it did. I just wondered if that is actually part of the story.

Ok, listen. We threw bananas in 1978 because we thought he looked like a monkey, which, sure, might seem super racist but actually we were so not racist that we didn't even know about the whole black people monkey thing and just wanted to have a little fun with our friend Donnie Von Moore who was super cool about it because he knew it wasn't a race thing and was hungry anyways and everyone slapped fives afterwards. If we knew the internet was going to be invented and this would be used as ammunition on something called a message board 35 years later we probably never would of done it but what can you do, different times.

Rumblings that the AD received a fruit basket and a handwritten "sorry" note from Mr. Townsend regarding his actions Monday evening.

Of course, the bananas aimed at Von Moore were no laughing matter. “It ticked us off,” Von Moore said, “because at first we thought it had some racial connotations. They were basically calling us gorillas. Later they said we threw hot dogs so they threw bananas. It’s just food. We beat them, so that’s what mattered.”

Von Moore, who played at KU from 1974-78, pointed out the KU-KSU games were much bigger than the KU-Missouri games at that time.  “It’s because the fans hated each other so much,” Von Moore said of games between “Snob Hill” and “Silo Tech.” “It was a rivalry where I guess they were depicted as these farm, country, backwoods types, and we were considered the snobs, I guess, because we were close to Kansas City. KU was the snobby part of the state. K-State was the agricultural school. They actually had a farm on their campus. It was the big thing with the two groups. With Missouri, it went all the way back to the damn war. “But people didn’t sleep out for Missouri. They camped for K-State for days.”

All of you trying to justify the banana throwing need to knock it the eff off. I don't care if KU threw nooses, watermelon, clan hoods, and fried chicken, throwing bananas at that dude was 100% wrong; we'd be better off dropping it.

If you have such a hardo for KU that you must address the racism, do what other posters have done itt and point out this happened before 90% of posters on this blog was born and point out the several cases of KU being racist this decade.

Pretty sure he was just quoting an article where they interviewed one of the players involved, and then he said the KSU rivalry was bigger than the MU one

[stunted]

Yea, quoted an article.

Von is a great name.

What kind of message are the guys from KU sending to our nations youth if they never apologize.

The flippant attitude shown toward Townsend makes me think that they have seen this out of him before.  Makes you wonder how many victims lay in his wake.  Sad really.

Apparently, you weren't around back then; because I can tell you nobody gave a eff about PC crap like they do now.

Do you have nasty smelly sewage for brains you dumbshit? All I said was Von is a great name. 

[Winters]

I want an apology from Brock "Sewage Brains" Landers.

[Brock Landers]

Oh, okay Winters.  I mean it totally makes sense to say that less than half of someone's last name is a great name.

[Brock Landers]

Hey guys I'm going to get in touch with Andy Van Slyke just to tell him Van is a great name and then watch his confused reaction!   

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

this is really weird, brock. can we move on?

[0.42]

I too am enraged by the lack of class and grace shown by Brock "Sewage Brain" Landers. Therefore in order to restore class and order we must expose all of his personal details and get him fired from his job and harass his family.

If I was forced to guess, like gun to my head absolutely forced to guess, I believe what Winters was trying to say was "Wow, I realize it's not HIS first name, but if "Von" was someone's first name, they would probably be a huge stud." Like I said, that's just my guess.

I believe that "Von" is a German preposition meaning "of" or "from", usually a nobility particle - which means when used in a name it denotes nobility. So I think that what Winters was saying was that if Von is used in a name that person must have noble blood which is why it would be a great name...
