Yeah it's getting a little old and tired. How many articles need to be written about KSU being the best, having the best players, best coach, best arena, best fanbase, etc.? We get it. Just FedEx the preseason champs banner to the address below and *maybe* we will put it up *if* we have time, thanks.

I am getting a little frazzled about how everyone acknolwedges KSU has the best fans. Like, we don't know this already? Kind of sets the bar high though. Hypothetically, there could be a night where we aren't the loudest/most knowledgable/best looking and then someone might be disappointed.

We could rehire Wooly if that would be easier on you.

We could only wish to have such a fine example for the players at Jim Wooldridge. What an incredible human being. Grace, fortitude, and a true sprit for Kansas State which virtually nobody can match.

I mean, now look who we're stuck with. After being rejected by that jerk Huggins we're left with his, well, leftovers.

Bring Wooly back! Bring Wooly back!

Lots of hype for a program that hasn't even sniffed a Big 12 championship since the inception of the conference.

For the record. I plan on sniffing a Big 12 championship this season. I plan on sniffing it hard.

Incredible that we are so freaking loved and adored . . . tons of national exposure, ESPN gameday, Frank in Bristol and on and on and on . . . yet as the resident Tardville Talk Point says we haven't won a conference title in years. It's great to be so freaking elite that at the first hint of being good the media simply won't leave us alone.

The National Perception (hereinafter "TNP") of KSU has always been squeaky clean, hard working, doing things the right way etc. Now that KSU is experiencing some success, the public wants to latch on and hug us tight.
