I, for one, get it. Trust me. :)

Agreed. (With several big exceptions... we do have a few very cool beakers too)

I see your point...

ROFL

It's not that... it's the fact that they are obnoxious about it, and automatically think that you root for either Kansas State or MU if you just don't like KU.

Just as I have some cool Tiggers and Kitties neighbors....

There is alwasy a dbag in every crowd.. But for the most part we all enjoy the rivalries and would get a kick out of having a few beers and watching games together...

Its just friendly trash talk...

Well those are the biggest trash talkers agianst KU... and vicea versa...

Kind of like newbies here that think I'm some sort of liberal, pinko, whacko because I live in Hollywood?

I think I understand where you're coming from...

are you high or anal or bored?

you're making a distinction that is meaningless....tomato, tomato....

nothing changes....

You mean you're not???:D

Uh oh AZ and WVU tied up at 27

Yeah, for the most part, I agree. There are very, very few who have pissed me off to the point where I wouldn't have a beer with 'em.

The football game at Arrowhead was built up to be nasty... but all the KU guys I talked with (and there were a lot... the beer and all :)) were very cool. Hell, we even watched their stuff while they left to meet up with friends.

Agree... I enjoy the friendly banter my MU/KSU buddies have all year long... No need to get just nasty pissy about it like some...

Hell I would even buy you a beer if you were in OKC.

Dude, you said 2 elite 8's and 2 final fours. I wasnt bored, I just read that and it jumped out at me as a blindingly obvious incorrect statement.

Kind of like me saying that it'll be midnight in Lawrence in about an hour, you'd read that and wonder if my watch was off or I had a time zone problem, because its OBVIOUSLY flat-out wrong.

I presumed you typo'd or wasnt thinking about what you were typing or whatever, and you reacted as if I had no clue WTF I was talking about.

I think you covered it, and the last statement seems to get lost among everyone, not just the morons.

It's funny that rival fans have higher expectations for Kansas than Kansas fans do, yet we're the arrogant ones. Kansas has lost to the National Champion 3 times in the last ten years, and the runner up twice; and according to your post, they've won a few big games, too. But wait, we should have 5 titles by now and be counting on #6! After all, look at the leaderboard of National Champions, it's not like they're hard to come by.

This is really what gets me... I expect the crap from the idiots, but I heard an ESPN guy the other day say, pretty much word for word, "The number one seed is a huge burden on Coach Self because of the embarrassing back-to-back first round losses a couple of years ago".

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

So, yet again, we're the arrogant asshole fans that get the coaching change and having Roy's players trying to play Self's style blah blah blah; yet it's the media who 1) can't give Self time to bring in his own players, and 2) realize it's not like we had EE aspirations either of those years?

It tends to be a lot more nasty online than in the real world.

Come to think of it, people in general tend to be a lot more nasty online. I don't think it's just sports rivalries.
