Way to take the high road, k"u"
 

Sorry if repost, but...

Damn! k"u" does have the classiest fans!



as per the KC Star-

"Henn said KU doesn’t want to be embarrassed by making fun of opponents, diseases like anorexia or a Joe-College shirt that made fun of slavery.

Hold it … KU is playing the race card?

The shirt in question pokes fun at MU having to pick cotton in the lowly Cotton Bowl while KU got to play in the more prestigious Orange Bowl. The front of the shirt reads “Hawk Football.” The back reads, “Missouri, it’s your turn to pick cotton (Nice bowl game).”

In a perfect world, future KU T-shirts should adhere to higher standards, Henn argued, “that we don’t bash our rivals, that we don’t use profanity, that we don’t make fun of diseases.”

Asked afterward if KU wanted to stifle free speech, Marchiony responded, “Well, we believe in free speech — unless it crosses the line.”

Er uh?

This board really sucks ass sometimes with all of the MU/KU bullshit. It's too bad the Chiefs sucks so bad that we don't have much else to talk about on here.

Just thought it was funny!

You were wrong. This is stupid.

One MU/KU smackfest a week is enough during the off season, and we just had one last night.

Umm..... KU is taking legal action to prevent shirts like this from being produced and associated with KU.

Shirts that say:
So technically, KU is taking the high road.....

Joe College has gone to extremes to inform their clientele that they have no relationship with the university and that their shirts are meant as parody.

Meanwhile, those late to the game try to find the hook. Might want to check your lip, Mizzou 8451...

check my lip?

come on bro...relax. Mu and KU have both made stupid shirts. Whether the university makes them or not or wants to be associated with it, the person buying the shirt is automatically representing the university.

My thread was good natured fun...nothing more.

Eh, you haven't been around long. I'm sure the beakers are just not sure if you're having a little innocent fun, or legitimately trolling.

It gets a little tense around here. Funny thing is, from my experience at the game last season, fans on both sides were much more laid back.

I enjoy the back and forth ribbing... the hateful nasty bullshit... not so much.

I agree. The fans from both teams are part of what made that game so great. I was trying to just have some innocent fun, especially since I don't even know what trolling is.

It's all good. Hell, I try to keep it mostly light, even frazod and I will rib each other over a beer.

I'm the junior guy in a company full of KU grads/fans so I am usually on the defensive. No harm done.

I think I see a piece of the high road in Reesing's facemask....

(sorry I had to do one :evil: )

I miss the good old days when both of these teams were irrelevant.

I'll bet you do.

LMAO

That's potting soil for an orange tree.

Nice backpeddling my friend.

ok...

I don't think this thread was made to start shit....if it was it would be extremely weak

NICE!!!!:thumb:

Priceless!

I can't wait till next month. Let the season begin.

ROFL


SCOREBOARD MOTHERFUC*ERS!

I am embarrassed by the University's fascist assault on Joe College T-Shirts.

I'll be wearing a blue t-shirt from Land's End to games this fall. Or maybe I'll have Larry make me a shirt that just says "Unlicensed" on it.

I am going to spraypaint "KU" on the front of a white T-Shirt and "Go ahead, sue me too" on the back. Look for me in the stands... I will wear it to games.

name two words that can't be used in the same sentence.

KU and high road.

Let's play:

3 words in the same sentence...

Mizzou and National Champion

Good joke.

Just because someone gets one good on you doens't mean you have get all puzzy about it.

Here's five that can be used together:

Basketball and Who Gives A Shit?

Fun game.

Ok, I'll play.

Mizzou Ranked 1st...

Four words.

Not for long. Oklahoma.

Six words:

Can't hide from Oklahoma this year

KU's championship game had higher TV ratings than three of last years games in the World Series, and higher rating than every game the Tards played against Detroit in '06.

3 more for KU.

YOU GOT 0WNED.

WE BEAT YOU.

OH SO CLOSE.

Awesome.

Take that to a BB bulletin board and someone might care.

About as much as I should care about baseball.

Which frazod has determined is the superior sport that more people are interested in.

There are people out there who like rap. I don't give a shit about that, either.

Horseshit. When Norm was HC you were a MU basketball fan.

fickle redass bitch :p

Hey, asshole. Just because you don't like rap, doesn't mean you should go comparing it to KU sports.

You don't hear me insulting your music like that. :)

No, I wasn't. I tried to be a Bulls fan in Chicago in the 90s. EVEN THAT DIDN'T TAKE.

Yep. Rap and basketball are the debbil.

I was comparing it to KU Basketball.

KU football is more like emo. :D

Is there really anything you have to say to insult banjo music?

Well, he's wrong.

I choose to like him anyway...

I wouldn't say they're bad only that they both bore me.

I still like my Public Enemy, NWA, Ghetto Boys, Too Short, and a few spare singles from the late 80's-early 90's.

I understand people from Kansas like basketball.

Just as I understand that people from third world countries like soccer.

Hey now, drunken Germans like soccer and they haven't been 3rd world since like 93...

I didn't realize it was that short a trip from Mizzou to Man U.

Girls, Girls, lets add some perspective to this whole thing.

KU football has been a proud tradition since what, last September?
KU Basketball is superior to 95% of all the other schools for a long time now. They always finish well and it's really the only thing people in that miserable state have to root for.

MU Football has beeen bad for a long time but they always had their fan base. MU Basketball is hot and cold but they do ok.

I guess what I'm really getting around to is that, NEBRASKA SUCKS! Let's hate them while the hatin's good. Sooner or later, they will be good again.

Sam Hall will be along to give you a good talking too...

I can appreciate that.

ROFL Good point. Does Ben Askren's two wrestling national championships's count?

Ummm, isn't that technically 3 words?

ROFL Smart MU.

Really, Tim? Just because you don't care about hoops doesn't mean it is irrelevant to the rest of the sports world.

I'll just distract him with dumbass pics of Oh Noes cats.
That'll do it...:thumb:

Bill Calahan is the best thing to ever happen to this state IMHO. Now that NU Fans have had a little bit of the old "Humble Pie" they are starting to realize that there are more things in life then the goddamn Cornhuskers.

I understand that old Jethro out in Valentine NE may be a little depressed about the program as of late, it's all they have out that way. But there's no excuse for that type of crap in the Metro area.

I'd go to a fricken grocery store and the game would be on.
Everyone in the office would always wear red on Fridays. If you chose not to wear red, you had to wear your normal business atire. One day a guy wore a Colorado jersey on Friday, he was sent home early.

Shit like that drives me insane. Suckers Husk and Vise Versa.

If it's not on TV it doesn't count.

Team sports fella. I don't care if a KU athlete wins the 400 meter dash or whatever else.

Wow. That's a little bit fucked up.

If basketball is a secondary sport, then wrestling is coming in somewhere after hockey, cross-country and music theater.

It used to be that insane around here. Thankfully though, NU sucks now and it's not so bad.

Is the fight over?

*screaming at the top of my lungs while swinging battle axe at anything red and blue*

Yeah, it's a different world. I walked into a bar and grill when I was apartment searching and everyone was glued to local news coverage of a Callahan press conference that wasn't all that important (end of Sept/beg of Oct). When they hired what's his face from LSU they had something scrolling at the bottom of the TV for the entire... freakin... Chiefs game.

But, I work for a company that's so diverse, it's actually hard to find people that want to talk college football or basketball. I actually hear more soccer talk than Cornhusker talk..... Not sure if that's good or bad. :hmmm:



Before they won the NC it was simply "I don't follow basketball, never liked it, etc"... now it's a secondary sport, no one cares, it's the same as a NC in women's golf, etc. And it's coming from a baseball fan. Hilarious.

You KU guys need to post pics of your NC Women's Golf Program. Any Natalie Gulbis or Paula Creamer lookalikes? :drool:

Hey, if I came from a state with no professional sports, I guess I'd think college basketball was the shit. Or maybe I'd just shoot myself. But either way, it'll never mean a damn thing to me. And as far as I'm concerned, all the hype over the tournament is just the sports equivalent of a Hallmark holiday. I like what I like, not what ESPN attempts to force-feed me.

yep. the self serving sports media trying to get ad rates up to justify their existence.

I'm not saying you should like it. Hell, I can't stand the NBA. ESPN's coverage of international soccer (well, any soccer) is force-fed hype. ESPN's coverage of CBB matches the level of interest that's shown by having the last 7 games of the postseason played in football stadiums. You don't have to like it, but saying CBB is a secondary sport is ridiculous.

You know the one that irritates me most? The world series of poker. Who wants to watch other guys sit around and play cards. And it's not a sport. :mad:

That has nothing to do with anything, just thought I'd throw it out there.

I view soccer and basketball about the same, actually. One man's wondersport is another's force-fed hype, I guess.

That's the perfect example I was looking for... I know people who play poker now that didn't a few years ago, but I don't know one person who watches it.

Soccer is boring to me, but I'd at least qualify it as a sport. The thing I don't understand is why you play 100 minutes so you can have a goal-kicking contest at the end. One hundred percent of the games I've ever watched have ended in penalty kicks.

Golf, Horse Racing, and WSoP are the three that annoy me.... Golf really annoys me because it's boring as hell and not a sport, but it's also popular so it drives the coverage up to intolerable levels. Sorry, but Tiger Woods isn't an athlete. He hits a ball with a stick and then walks after it. Athletes play golf in the offseason so they can relax outside.
[/rant] :)

Why play 37 minutes of basketball to have a slap fest at the end? Because 90% of BBall games come down to that.

That's why I can't watch the NBA. The first 40-45 minutes of an NBA game somewhat resembles basketball, but especially in the last few minutes it's about everything except basketball..... drawing fouls, shooting free throws, flopping, calling timeouts. :Lin:

It's annoying when CBB turns into that, and it's why I hate guys like Tyler Hansbrough who try to turn games into a free throw shooting and flopping contests, but it doesn't happen anywhere close to 90% of the time, IMO. Even if it did happen that often, at least the first 37 minutes were worth watching.

I'd guess it does happen close to 90% of the games during The Dance. Not so much during the regular season.

I feel the same way about golf.

And speaking of poker - when did Texas Hold'Em become THE ONLY POKER GAME ALLOWED TO BE PLAYED IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE?????

Good lord, this went from a game I never heard of to the only thing people will play, nearly overnight. I was playing cards with my neighbor and some of his yuppie friends; after an hour and a half of Texas Hold'em I suggested we try dealer's choice - perhaps some 7 card stud, or draw, or low hole wild, fuck, ANYTHING DIFFERENT, at least for a few hands. They looked at me like I'd just shit in the middle of the table.

:shake:

probably didn't know how....

I'm calling bullshit on this one. If you were a fan of a team that had won half of the conference titles they'd ever competed for, you'd be a basketball fan, too.

I'd be happy about it, but I still wouldn't really care.

I did NOT watch basketball as a kid. EVER. At any level. Never liked it; never played it. Really.

I lived in CHICAGO during the 90s. Michael Jordan and six championships couldn't give me anything more than a lukewarm interest in the sport (I did go to a couple of games, though, because nobody turned down Bulls tickets back then). Seriously. I just don't care for it.
