can't imagine emawzified and these other dorks cheering for the cats during the assbury and neckbrace years. those were the years i fell in love with cat basketball. pure, unconditional love. i've heard if you can't cheer for your team when they're 0-10, you don't deserve to cheer for them when they're 10-0. that's a little extreme. but one thing is for sure, if you can't cheer for your team when they're in the elite 8, then you don't deserve to cheer for them at any time.
I was in Bram for Asbury's final game against KU when a pissed-off crowd wa loudly calling for his firing and at KC Municipal when Wooley's team got blown out by UMKC. I was also in
Ahearn when Blackman and bros blew out KU 96-69. So yeah, I've cheered for well-coached K-State basketball and badly coached Cats hoops. Thankfully, we're back on the well-coached side again. I can't imagine dorky loser fan understanding that, and that dorky loser fn sure as eff doesn't get to invent a narrative that the fans of the dorky looser who set K-St ate hoops for years by insisting "w can't get anyone better" are somehow the true deserving fans.
I was a dumbass who was eternally optimistic with those badly coached teams, just as I was always hopeful Oscar wasn't the dorky loser and could turn the page. But no, he is a lifelong dorky loser who lost any connection with his teams when coach The Flush graduated.
