I'm sadly extremely serious when I say this... for the past couple of months I have been in extreme meltdown mode. The past couple of weeks have been the tipping point. I don't know what to do. As a fan who had to sit through the Ron Prince era of football during my college tenure, bball was all that we had. When Huggins came to ksu, and Wooly finally got the boot, I couldn't help but be excited. I wasn't excited just because we were going to win (and we did win in the years that followed), but because it seemed our admin actually gave a crap about it, at least to some fraction of what ksu fans did. Unlike a lot of students who graduated before 2005, and unlike a lot of students who graduated after 2009, my class' experience with ksu athletics had nothing to do with a good football team. Sure we beat texas at home. That was cool. We also went to one bowl game, in which we got slaughtered. Maybe that is why this has hit so hard. Maybe it's because when nothing else was going right, our basketball team seemed to find some semblance of direction. Regardless, all that is now for crap.
How do you legitimately continue to support an sports team that has done nothing but ruin sports for you. I haven't been able to watch more than a couple basketball games this year. Not because of scheduling conflicts or inability, but because I can't watch a vanilla ice cream cone yell at sub-par players in a squeaky frog voice to run a completely average offense and terrible defense. It has truly gotten to the point of existential fandom crisis.
Sartre once said "[l]ife begins on the other side of despair." The way I see it, our lives cannot begin until Currie leaves. #meltdown #burnitdown #winteriscoming #feeltheburn
