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.” http://www.kansascity.com/entertainm...ry/701653.html |

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.

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. 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?

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.

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

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] |

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. |
