Why the hell would I stay and just get more frustrated resulting in a worse weekend and bringing the people around me down with my piss poor attitude which in turn results in a chain reaction of negativity that could spiral into lord knows what.

My problem with people leaving early is when it is the other side of the pillow (the cool side if you will) where the 'cats are kicking a lot of ass to zero. That is an awful pet peeve of mine.

I'll see you in Austin this week. Go Cats!

As usual Winters nails it. It would have upset me more to stay than if I left, and it also blows my mind people would leave a game where K-State is beating the team badly. Sure you don't have to be all bonkers but at least enjoy the win.

Its just sad when people have a kids/middle school sports philosophy for big time college sports. I mean, the coaching staff at K-State is collectively making nearly $6 million. That's a crazy number and fans should have expectations that match the investment K-State has made in this football program. This loser mentality from some of our fans is simply amazing.

Unfortunately, we have a large segment of our fan base that are simple minded people that willingly accept mediocrity and view K-State athletics as a non for profit small town youth organization intended for kids to have fun so they can eat orange slices and receive participation medals instead of a performance, results driven big business that employs the highest paid public figures in the State and is the economic engine for a $75million annual athletic department which it is. This inferior, idiotic attitude has been a persistent cultural problem for our athletics teams for as long as I can remember and it's no wonder that we allowed the football program to languish for decades with this impotent attitude toward success.

I just like watching good football games instead of crappy ones.

I left during the second quarter. I've other things I enjoy doing in my life. KSU football isn't my life, I love it a lot, for some people it's all they have to break their monotony. That is a failing of their own, not those that do no wish to sit through a massacre.

Why do they give their home address at the end. That's wierd.

IIRC you have to provide your address or they won't print your letter. Seems like a weird rule and I doubt the Merc verifies if the name and address even match up.

You know I rarely respond to your posts, and I don't plan to make it a habit. It seems just as judgmental of you to say they are failing because they put KSU football as a priority. That doesn't mean that's all they have to break the monotony. They may have very full lives, and I would assume that many do. You calling that a failure seems hypocritical just because their priorities are different from yours.
I agree that people may come and go as they choose. Just don't belittle them for their choices.

"They" took out a page in the newspaper.

It's weird that we have 3 pages of posters explaining why they left early. I don't think Cindy and Richard are reading your posts.

I left ISU's game vs Baylor in the 1st quarter last year guys. No shame.

WildcatNkilt · « **Reply #64 on:** October 21, 2015, 04:07:40 PM »

I was one of those bad fans. I'm not apologizing for it though. I left after 8 minutes to go back to the tailgate and watch the Royals.

You shouldn't have posted this without a joke about hemmy printing the thread and mailing it to 2625 Butterfield Road.

AndrewVonLintel · « **Reply #66 on:** October 21, 2015, 10:17:18 PM »

I left when it got to 28-0. I went home and watched the Royals and started slamming beers.

Had the Royals not been playing, I would have actually watched the halftime show and then left.

I will give it another try against Baylor.

I wonder if the letter sent to the paper was slanted and in purple?!

Haven't been on the site for a few years... Thought I'd check in and see how the meltdown is going. I graduated from KSU in 2000 and live in Tulsa OK. This loss was a real gut punch for me.

Re the letter:
This letter was definitely Cindy's idea. Dick just went along because that's what husbands do. Cindy's cooter is dusty and she just wishes she could still fit into her cheerleader outfit from 1959.
