"Octagon of Doom"

[hawkchief]

I know yesterday's game was great, and there's been a lot of nice sportsmanship on here, but I have a simple question.

How is an arena where the home team has lost 26 out of 27 games (96%) since it was opened, to its in-state/arch rival, referred to as the "Octagon of Doom"? Patently absurd.

I've decided that henceforth, I will refer to Arrowhead Stadium as "Trezelle's Oval of Annihilation" - makes just as much sense.

The name came from KSUFans.com and a poster on that site. You gotta know the tone of the site. It's very sarcastic in nature there. Kinda like here. So the nickname for the arena was created in that tone too. We are all having fun with it.

The nickname just stuck recently when Doug Gottleib started referencing it on ESPN.

For being some of the winningest fans in the country, you would think they would act like they've been there and have class, but they are among the worst in arrogance.

I know yesterday's game was great, and there's been a lot of nice sportsmanship on here, but I have a simple question....

That's okay. I expect simple questions from simple people. What can I help you with that seems to be so troubling to a very simple fellow?

[Sure-Oz]

Thats what makes them great to hate...

[KChiefs1]

KU basketball fans are old money. They're stuck up, annoying and snooty, but they've always had money and they're used to it. They know nothing except being rich.

I spent a few days this week at kusports.com and the vast majority there wouldn't even admit that it was a big game or a rivalry. So delusional, yet they act like they won the super bowl this morning.

IMO, the Octagon of Doom is kinda like "Forty Minutes of Hell".

It is becoming a pretty intimidating place to play IMO. Their fans are some jacked up sumbitches.

Losing all the time will definetly make you bitter and hateful, i think it should be a fun rivalry as long as Frank is there

It's funny how people generalize a group of fans based on what they see on message boards. Do you also hangout in nurseries and complain about all the crying and lack of intelligent conversation?

Yeah, success produces arrogant asshole fans, and KU has quite a bit of both; stop crying about it.

Actually, the message board fans are the best. The real life "fans" are by far worse.

It was a little offensive... not that I watched Seinfeld (I got the reference though), but Friends?

Or maybe that was another obscure reference. :hmmm:

At least that's how I read it.

[WilliamTheIrish]

I've found it to be the opposite. At least the college variety. Pro football fans,[home team] are liable to cause quite a stir with visiting fans. I've witnessed that a lot at Arrowhead.
Colleges? Not so much.

There are some knowledgeable fans online, but they're normally drowned out by the garbage... and it's usually the same recycled garbage over and over... and over. I know many more intelligent Jayhawk fans IRL than online, because almost none of them hangout on message boards.... or maybe because I go to the wrong boards.

It wasn't meant to be offensive. You're of that general age. Or so I thought. And when I referenced it, I wasn't sure you would have known where it came from.

Then Pablo got his vas deferens all knotted up and came to rescue you from the big bad EMAWolf.

Kind of. But most of them don't reside in the same world that you and I are in. So you have to discount them whole cloth.

They aren't tethered to the earth by gravity or something.

I'd laugh, but last night I was sitting next to the only other person who cared about KU/KSU at BWW (in Omaha, where they switched the audio over to Creighton at halftime of KU/KSU :banghead), and I doubt she could have named 3 Jayhawks, or even the head coach..... billay just has some sort of borderline creepy superiority complex over Kansas football.

It's better to go the Husker route and completely ignore the other sport.... who wants to hope for success in both sports, even if it only happens once every decade or three for the other sport? Hell, every team that doesn't have Nebraska football-like tradition should GTFO now.... Nebraska can play itself 12 times a year and Kansas, Kentucky, and UNC can play each other in basketball each year.

I was mainly comparing the fans attitude. UK also has double the championships. I notice you didn't find it weird that Mr Tomahawk compared KU's basketball success to the most successful baseball team in history. I'm the one with the dumb comparison though. :)

I mean, if they're as good as their fanbase acts like they are then they should have like 50+ Nat'l Championships. Pretty simple if you ask me/POR

Of course, none of it matters, since CBB has been a secondary sport since 4/8/08.

[DeezNutz]

And sometimes those silly ideas catch on and are reported on the radio, TV, internets...

That's a difficult concept for an appliance salesman to grasp.

One day I hope Dayton signs up for an account here so that I/we can explain defensive metrics to him.

...and send a PM, offering to beat his ass at the mini K.

William how good of a coach is Delonte Hill? I know he's the one who brings in the good recruits. Would it be foolish for a school to pay him 2mil to become a head coach?

He's not ready to be a HC at this level, IMO. He is 30 years old. He's learning the coaching gig, and needs a few years in a system before he gets his shot. That said, he's a hell of a recruiter, but then again, so is Frank.

I don't really know what kind of a coach he is billay. He scouts some teams and has connections to AAU programs in DC. Saul is much more in tune with that kind of thing.

When Frank leaves, I hope the KSU admins take another chance on Dalonte.

[DeezNutz]

When Frank leaves

???

Should be no time soon, right?

They keep winning and finish the year on a good note I think he will get some calls. Whether or not he leaves is another thing. I think he might want to go home if Miami calls though.

Oh, he's getting calls. No doubt.

KSU needs to pony up the necessary money to keep their guy, though.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Damn. One win in 28 years?

Sorry, dude.

Fuck. Missed this first time through. LMAO

[Stewie]

I think I'll call it OOD until something changes. That's the sort of nondescript term that sounds like someone taking a giant shit and yelling OOD!... and they hope it doesn't rip their asshole. Most of the time it does.

The KSU admin gets no credit from me. They ****ed up the Wooldrige hire. They ****ed up the Wooly firing, by having the Weef overrule Weiser giving Wooly another year. This allowed them to hire Huggs, which allowed them to look completely foolish when he left.

They only made the Martin hire because they had no other choice. He has paid off in spades. And the only real truth I can believe in is that the admin will **** it up and Frank will go, so the new AD can hire some SLTH @ 600k per that will give KSU 5 years of finishing 6th or worse. (known as an "Asbury, Tom or Wooldrige, James")

Yeah, damn. Well, at least you get to escape this type of incompetence when watching the Royals and Chiefs.

Seriously, though, for the sake of Cats fans, I hope your administrators do the right thing and pay the man. Dude is too good. Of course, he might still leave, just like any other coach, but KSU needs to do everything possible to prevent this from happening.

[Pablo]

I hope Martin sticks around. The Big 12 needs more good coaches and good recruiters.

[WilliamTheIrish]

What is SLTH?

Solid Long Term Hire. It was a term that turned into a catch phrase when Martin was hired. All the talk of Martin being a "high school coach" and unethical. It's been kind of funny listening to folks give Frank all this pub when he was trashed so badly in the beginning.

It's what the board (here) was clamoring for when Huggs left along with the idiot on 610 at the time, Matt Scott. I think he runs a jerkoff site called the Shiver.

He rambled on and on about Mark Fox being the "Solid Long Term Hire". SOmebody had it posted to a putfile but it's been taken down.

Anyway, that's the short history of the term.

[Titty Meat]

Wheres Mike Fox at now? I always wanted him or Rick Majerous. I don't think either has done much though.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Who did you want besides Huggins though? That was a great hire got them to where they are today.

In a way billay, the KSU admins fell out of tree and landed on their feet. By hanging on to Wooly that extra year, Huggins became available and they scooped him up, much to the chagrin of people on this board and in the media. But then another great term was coined: GRCOAT.

The previous year I was hoping they would fire Wooly and hire Bruce Pearl from UW Green Bay. That sweaty fucker can coach too.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Yeah, damn. Well, at least you get to escape this type of incompetence when watching the Royals and Chiefs.

I've just come to accept that great coaches don't stay at KSU. Tex, Cotton, Jack Hartman(left for OSU, where he played QB, then returned the next day), Lon, Huggins.

The crummy ones seem to last forever though.

If Frank goes, I'll be a fan of whatever team he ends up coaching.

[WilliamTheIrish]

He was at Nevada and was hired at UGa.

Don't think he's going anywhere this year. Next year a different story though.

I think it's important to understand that while I'm abrasive and insulting, it's still just words. I get cracked on all the time, but if it's funny (like ari's post) I can laugh at myself. (It's too bad Ari can't do the same as he has put me on ignore cause I called him chubbz.) But he's still a great guy and I like him. He just likes to dish it out, but doesn't like to take it back.

And I hold no ill will toward you in way. I think sometimes it just gets heated and folks take things a little to personally.

Now hawkchief, he's the kind of poster that deserves to get called out and insulted. By everybody. It's very similar to the R8er/UNC fan who comes over here and gloats about the Tar Heels. But he's only here when they win. hawkchief is like that. Never shows up after a Catz win, but will arrive after every loss like a pidgeon and defecate all over a thread.

In Chiefsplanet lexicon, it's called "Being a p*ssy".

[WilliamTheIrish]

WTF?

He's playing a TheGuardian post. He was going nuts in a thread calling UTexas "Big XII pillowbiters".

He got trashed. It was funny as hell.

I was mainly comparing the fans attitude. UK also has double the championships. I notice you didn't find it weird that Mr Tomahawk compared KU's basketball success to the most successful baseball team in history. I'm the one with the dumb comparison though. :)

Just for fun, anyone know the championship count between the big four of college basketball, UCLA, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Kansas? I mean, UCLA won like 9 out of 10 years in a row. Kansas? Once every twenty or more years.

Considering KU is one of six teams to win 3 or more, I don't see "once every 20 years" being a huge deal... if you weren't alive or old enough to witness UCLA's titles between the mid-60s and mid-70s, you've only seen one since. Hell, in my lifetime, UCLA has 1, Kentucky has 2, Kansas has 2, and UNC & Duke have 3 each.... damn, sucks to be a Jayhawk. :rolleyes:
