Jason Whitlock is leaving the paper to pursue other interests.


 :lol:  What?  You can't eat hamburgers while you write?  GMAFB!

This is sad though.  Not as jolting a blow as losing Jmart but still a lot less KSU to discuss.

BSAC is in Antwerp but I have left him a message about moving some funds and making a pitch.  The reason he left the Star is $$.  No way Star could pay him.

He rarely wrote about K-State but when he did it was awesome.  Our Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) fanbase would call for his head with e-mail campaigns to the star and threats to cancel their subscription and kstatefans.com would start a push to have Mark Janssen declared as the only writer allowed to cover K-State.

I don't think our fanbase had anything to do with it.  We emailed the Star about Kellis and the Star just laughed at us.

Whitlock didn't like being required to write a bi-weekly, it's a lot of work and thats not JW's thing.  I bet he wants to write a book, then do the occasional column for ESPN or whoever will pay him.

The Star had a no-compete clause pertaining to goEMAW.

you misunderstood what i typed.  i said i know him.  wouldn't consider him anything close to a best friend.  not sure how you extrapolated what i wrote into a best friend type deal.  you are really stupid though so anything is possible, especially as it relates to stupid crap and you.

Petro just reported that this falling out started when JW wrote a column critical of Lew and ku about the ticket scandal and it was pulled.

So, ku fans who say the Star is anti-ku....your ass is hanging out you idiot.

I don't think this is true. Whitlock practically defended Perkins in his last column on May 26.

Only the naive or people out to destroy Perkins believe the KU scandal isn’t part of a nationwide culture of corruption within college athletics. Tom Blubaugh was the director of ticket operations at Oklahoma. He met and trained his wife while at Oklahoma. Jones graduated from Oklahoma and worked in the school’s ticket office. Simmons was another Oklahoma import. According to KU’s internal investigation, KU’s tickets were getting funneled to an Oklahoma ticket broker.

This is bigger than Lew Perkins, Rodney Jones, Kansas and Oklahoma. They’re just mid-level managers and institutions operating in an unethical system.

First Posnanski and now this.  The Star can suck it.  I enjoyed Whitlock immensely.  Kansas City just became a shittier place.

Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

Exactly.  K-State, KU and probably MU fans all want glowing pieces about their schools night in and night out.  Whitlock writes thought provoking opinion pieces and isn't afraid to step on toes if the situation calls for it.  99% of KSU fans would likely be happier if they got all their K-State news from the Manhattan Mercury. 

A nice example of idiot K-State fans playing the woe-is-me card.  http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=173&f=2670&t=6224413

wow, it's really incredible how stupid those people are.  i'm not referring to the "the media hates us" stuff.  their football predictions rival the best parody posts we've seen on this site.
