Re: I Give You Ron Morris' AP Ballot

The problem is having 2 Kansas teams in the discussion with these fly-over media stooges. They get confused which one is which.
You are giving far too much credit to some of these guys. This isn't a knock on KSU, it's a reality of living in flyover land. You can't tell me you haven't heard announcers confuse our schools at least a few times each year in football or basketball? I heard it numerous times during KU's Orange Bowl season a couple of years ago.

Remember, a lot of these writers are the same guys who live on the east coast and say things like "I just can't stay up late enough to watch the Oregon vs. Utah game, I'll just check the highlights". Kornheiser and Bob Ryan have said as much themselves. For them to get KSU and KU mixed up is not out of the realm of possibility, especially when both teams might be hanging in the top ten for a good portion of the year.

Fantastic. Simply fantastic.

Is that why 10 Big 12 coaches picked us to win the conference? Because they got the two teams confused?

The fact that KU is the more popular of the two schools nationally. I can see some people confusing KSU with KU especially when it comes to preseason Top 10 rankings. In case you haven't noticed, KU is a fixture in the Top 10 pretty much every year. When was the last time if ever has KSU ever started the preseason ranked in the Top 10? Its not a difficult mistake too make for a journalist.

So this is why that bad person ranked us at 15. . .

Sorry, but he does live in flyover land. He just doesn't realize MHK/KSU are no longer in that category with them....Ranks right up there with a shared football/track facility.

So KU isn't elite enough at basketball for national folks to keep the two straight? Good to know. Good to know.

I sent him a PI with invite, link to this thread and message saying we needed sqwawk here with more mettle than the passive-aggressive punching bag beems. Warned that poster intimidation could be pretty bad, but he seemed like a big boy. Told him he couldn't get banned here so come out swinging.

jtksu · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2010, 06:23:49 PM »

You PI'd him in his invitation? Nice.

Just sayin . . . I personally love kcsportsfans work. It's absolutely true we need a true block of granite ku kool-aid drinker on this board. Someone with absolute resolve. Beems as stated above simply isn't capable of that.

It is physically impossible for you to help yourself

I've been PI'd . . . a first.

Also kinda wish that more of the wavethewheat dudes would post more here. That is really about all this board needs. About 20 quality posters from other schools.

I wish we had a Texas poster, that would be cute
