heart warming/funny emaw stories to make ourselves feel better

[steve dave]

At the Big 12 tourny I was talking to Trim on the day of the championship and I told him that michigancat was going to go down to the P&L early because Pomeroy was there.  Trim thought I was talking about Ken Pomeroy.  After we straightened ourselves out we discussed the hilarity of michigancat fist pumping behind Ken Pomeroy up on a stage crushing numbers on a calculator.  So, there you go. Now someone say something that makes us remember the greatness of the Big 12 and then we all cry.

What Pomeroy were you talking about?

Trim choked out opposing fan with his huge hands.  I laughed like a crackhead with a new rock.

See steve, if by warm and fuzzy you mean pure, unadulterated rage, then this could be a great thread.

My brother and I were ballboys when Dana Altman was the coach and we were in 3rd and 5th grade.  We sat behind the South basket and mopped sweat during the Ski Jones 62 point bonanza.  After games ballboys always got to go to the locker rooms (elite) and get a canned soda from this ballboy manager guy's office as a thank you for working the game.  After my brother and I got our canned soda we asked the ballboy manager guy if we could go into where the team was to get Ski's autograph.  He agreed and took us back there.  We didn't find Ski, but we did see Belvis Noland naked in the shower.

I went to jr high and FR year of HS with Dax Jones.  We were on the same bb team for 3 years.  We played against eachother in a couple summer and fall leagues after he left for JC.  I lost track of him after HS.  I was in a Dairy Queen drive thru in Emporia. (BRAZIER)  I was getting a cheeseburger and a chili dog.  I flipped on the radio (580 probably) and they are introducing the starting lineups for the Xavier v. KSU basketball game.  I could have told you the three deep for the football team and their home towns but didn't know dick about the bball team anymore.  Anyway... I hear "At center is Dax Jones."  I was in shock for a while.  Dax was a great kid.  One of the nicest and funniest guys in school.  But after hearing those words I was officially done with Tom Asbury and I knew we didn't have a bball program.  I turned the game off before the ball was tipped. 

We are preseason top 10 now.

Yeah, just a fantastic visual.  I kind of envisioned it like a big-time EDM DJamer's concert with KenPom on a stage outside Sprint Center with a bunch of laptops and giant screens behind him facing the crowd showing what KenPom's laptops are showing.  Thousands of people in the street going crazy watching KenPom do his thing, but MichiganCat actually on the stage and over to the side with the other KenPom VIPs.

It's happened 3 times this past academic calendar year alone.  I guess you could say I'm consistently warming up the hearts (and necks), motherfuckers.

Need one of these  but with arms not crossed and hands in Frankenstein-ish choking position.

For my submission, I'd go with Wooldridge and the boys beating ku in lawrence which inadvertently led to me discovering cancer in time.

Tim Ellis grabbing missed FT by Massey and knocking home a 5 footer to give us the W up in Nubbland circa 2004. Sure, it was a Nortard slugfest but holy crap, that one was sweet. Collier was so pissed, he threw his water bottle across the floor.

I'm not joking at all when I say, that was probably my favorite KSU hoop memory from about 96-06.

[SkinnyBenny]

Ah yes.  That was our first Big 12 road win in, like 50-some tries, right?  I went home after work and fell asleep from having an all-nighter the night before and MISSED THE ENTIRE GAME.

Snow.  5K fans.  Texas.  Tony Atchinson.

Rode the Union shuttle to Bramlage in like 1990 as a little kid to watch Dana Altman's crew get totally dominated by the red-hot Arkansas Razorbacks.  'Twas before Christmas.  On the shuttle over, my little brother and I were entertaining everyone with a totally Christmas carol we had just learned.  It was to the tune of "Oh, Christmas Tree," but the lyrics went like this:

Oh, Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad, why are you lying in the road?
You did not seeeeeeee that car ahead, and now you're maarrrrrrked with tire tread.
Oh, Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad, why are you lying in the road?


Shuttle bus was in stitches.  Then we got our asses handed to us at Bramlage.

I have an absolutely adorable picture of me sitting on Asburys lap for his bball camp.
