Official "Kick Me While I'm Down" Thread

[Braincase]

Go ahead. You wanna do it. You want to tell me how overrated KU was all season. You want to hammer another nail into my head. Go ahead, get it out of your system.

I'm a KU fan. I was a KU fan yesterday, and I'll be a KU fan tomorrow. I'm down, stunned, shocked and dismayed. Get your shots in while you can... because you know we'll be back on top and owning this conference before your team puts up back to back Big 12 titles.

Oh, I'll concede that KU may not win the Big 12 next year. I'll concede that we didn't perform up to expectations this year. So, get it out of your system, yuck it up while you can, because you know that deep down inside in that place you're ignoring right now that KU is going to get back on the horse and ride again.

So here's your chance. Forget about consecutive NIT first round losses, forget about non-invites. Mock my pain. Tear me down to build yourself up.

Yeah, I'm stoic. Don't like it? Tell me so. If it makes you feel better, rub my nose in it.

I'm guessing this will consist of MU fans bragging about their loss to Depaul (who?) in the first round of the NIT.

Chiefs
Hawks BB
Cards
Royals
Blues

In that order.

I am presently questioning the very paradigm of sports fandom. It's getting like logging onto rotten.com to view the menagerie of shotgun suicides and homeless dudes run over by trains. Why spend so much time in an endeavor that consistently leads me to the drink? Even monkeys eventually stop pawing the electrified lead.

[Dave Lane]

I'm a KU fan and I feel the pain. After watching the team this year I never felt the invincibility I had seen in previous years. This team stumbled to the finish and went out with a whimper. I am anxious to see what next year brings but I think it will be 2 years before KU rises high again.

So enjoy it while you can everyone else KSU may even get a long lost victory next year, but after that look out!

It sure beats MU fans ranting about how storied their school is and how they will once again be in it at the end only to get chumped in the first round.

Oh, wait, that wasn't MU at all.

If KU didn't have a 'storied history' before, it does now.

Pittsburgh, of the Big East when they were ranked #10 in the nation and beaten on their own floor would probably disagree.

I'd talk shit on you, but my team took a first round dive, too. :IA:

My mistake, it was their second win all season against a nationally recognized conference and the FIRST time they ever won in the NCAA.

[trndobrd]

I've decided I am simply going to be a bandwagon fan. I'm for the winner. Hey NFL franchises and NCAA schools, if you win, I'll buy your stuff. Simple as that.

Yea Winners!!!!

You know, because most teams win their first tournament game ever as the favorite after having come from obscurity to beat 17 ranked teams in the regular season :spock:

[Bearcat]

Oh, f*cking please..... an exhibition game determines the outcome of a team's season.... right. And UNC losing their first game of the season is going to somehow predict them losing to ISU :rolleyes:

[Braincase]

Does that mean K-State and Mizzou aren't part of America? Or that Snyder and Woolridge have yet to prove that they are winners?

Don't worry, it may be a down year next year, and the pain of this loss is hard to take right now, it's still better than setting your goals at/for the NIT..

Can't be anything but positive ( :deevee: ) after this shocker.. we'll just reload instead of having to build the entire gun.. :)

Maybe I should have read all the replies..? :thumb:

[Eleazar]

This is just a watered-down taste of the sadistic devotion required to be an MU fan.

[Simplex3]

Odd Fact: I read somewhere last night that KU can't beat teams with orange jerseys who play a zone D. They named 4 recent tournament losses that held that up.

KU Needs: A Jeff Bosche type. Some under-talented guy that just works his butt off and shoots 3's. Giddens should have been that and more but I think he's too busy designing his NBA-style "crib" to practice his outside shooting.

No it's not...

Mizzou has a very young team, and knew this wasn't their year. KY all year was saying how this was their year and they would be playing in a championship, and they chooooked...

I am happy and satisfied with the way Mizzou played. They beat KY, Oklahoma, Gonzaga, and lost to Illinois by less than 10...That shows me they have the capability to be great with maturity and consistency.

KY had both of those, and BLEW IT. So yeah, I'd rather have my goals set for the NIT, than to have the best team the school has had in probably 10 years, and choke.

Besides a first round loser in the NCAA is still as much of a loser as a first round loser in the NIT...I don't see either getting any trophys.

You hate that I was right. The attitude they showed in that game showed up all season and last night. There was something wrong with this KU team and the fans just would not admit to it.

[Skip Towne]

I called it back in November after the Washburn game and noone believed me.

KU was overrated this year.
Noone believes you because you're a turd bitch.

LMAO - Even when beaten and in the dirt, Skip is still the king of the simple slam.

[KingPriest2]

Noone believes you because you're a turd bitch.
ROFL Yeah whatever. I treat everyone with respect and this is what I get. My notion of something being wrong with KU back in November brought this crapfest on me. I think I am owed a apology.

[Skip Towne]

ROFL Yeah whatever. I treat everyone with respect and this is what I get.
Well, OK, I'll try to be nice.

[KingPriest2]

Well, OK, I'll try to be nice.


Cool.

[KChiefs1]

When was the last time the Mildcats made any postseason(NCAA or NIT) in men's basketball? Has it really been since Mitch Richmond donned the purple? :hmmm:

[KingPriest2]

I will say I was wanting a Big 12 win that is how I look at KU in the big dance. So if all the Big 12 teams win their games until they meet another Big 12, it just make them look better. The loss just does not hurt KU It hurts ALL of the Big 12.

[mikey23545]

K Who?

You don't seem to realize that it is the KU fans pompous assissitude that makes it fun.

If KU the team succeeds, as long as the players don't have the same bad attitudes as the fans, more power to them.

[Braincase]

Looks like another 3 has gone down. Congrats to The Txas Tech fans in their victory over Gonzaga.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

KU will be back next year, no doubt about it. Although I don't want another meaningless big 12 title, I want a National Championship. Something the KState Tech Cowboys will never have a chance to sniff.

[KCWolfman]

I am also stunned and shocked.....and I can not kick a fellow chiefs fan when he's this down. As a chiefs fan, I know what the heartache feels like.

So what do you hope this Bucknell team does? Make a run for it or take a dive next round?

Don't be so sure. K-State has a great basketball tradition, and in time will return to prominence.

The guy that was asked to resign at Indiana.

Don't be so sure. K-State has a great basketball tradition, and in time will return to prominence.
On behalf of Creighton University basketball I'd like to congratulate Kansas St. for letting Dana Altman go. Hell, he's only led Creighton to the dance 8 out of the last 9 years and has had 7 straight years of 20+ wins a season. I don't know what the f*ck the brain fart trust at KState was thinking when they let him go. ROFL

[DJay23]

So how are things boys?

I took the loss hard for about an hour. After Simien's shot (which I was positive was going in) I slumped into my g/f's couch and just stared at the TV for about an hour. After that, I wasn't quite as disappointed as I'd imagined I'd be. The recent slide has prepared me I guess.

KU almost played like THEY were the 14 seed. They were scared, and yes, they choked.

The hard part for me is that for the first time since I lived in Leavenworth, I live very near the team who beat us. usually, if Mizzou beats us, I can turn off my computer and not hear about it. I live a half hour from Lewisburg, so I'll get to experience what Hawk's fans in the KC area get to experience, for a couple days anyway.

Anyway, I'm not too hopeful for next year. With Moody and Hawkins as our senior leaders, we'll probably look like the Hawks teams with Chenowith and Gregory. The post Pierce/LaFrentz, pre Collison/Hinrich. Just sucks that those seniors went out like that.

I think it'll reflect the transition from speed and finesse towards power. Giles, Kaun & Jackson will be beefier, and I'd expect to see a whole lot of Robinson & Chalmers at the guard positions, one of them obviously starting. Giddens is the X factor, and Galindo will be a substantial contributor. I'd like to see alot of Downs and Wright as well. The class will be there, but how long will it take then to listen to their coach?

All in all, I think we'll have a winning season, but I don't expect to contend for the Big 12 Title for a couple of years.
