It's pretty obvious we aren't trying. We hired Bruce Weber.

I know, right?

You guys could have had a winning record against that other Kansas school.

Oh well, maybe next year...but probably not.

It's going to be all right. Turn the bill of that baseball cap to the side and slide right under mommy's arm. She'll make your hurting tummy be all better.

Saul, they are taking this worse than I thought they would.

LMAO.

It's okay....you guys will be top kats in the state again, some day.

Chin up big fella.

edit:

EMAW!

Took "Mr McMahon" interference in a few games for the Beaks to even tie you guys. Congrats again.

Butt Hurt. :LOL:


Beware Phog ‏@bewarephog
Damn refs RT @mellinger @BlairKerkhoff Bill Self resume of league finishes in career. Tulsa 3 1 1. Illinois 1 1 2. KU 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.

I think the greatest college accomplishment would be UF winning the NCAA tourney in 06 and 07 and winning the 2006 BCS Championship. Michigan also won the Big 10 and the Rose Bowl the same year they won the NCAA tournament in the 88-89 season. I think they came pretty close to doing the same thing when they had the fab five.

Look, it's tough on a li'l Spring Hill fella when the one thing he really wants all to himself has to be shared. The Cats aren't here to take it forever. The Cats just wondered what would happen if they actually put some effort into what is essentially an Olympic sport.

Hang in there.

You wrote that as if they have a choice... LMAO

Please keep the phog quotes coming. It's like Hoiberg family tears after a Big Monday game.

Calling it like I saw it. Don't have a dog in this fight.

Pats him on the head.. Tussles his hair.

Blair Kerkhoff apologizes. He didn't realize you were a clones fan, too.

You missed that... Kind of like, "Pressey for 3!...." WOOOF

I don't know why you'd apologize for Blair Kerkhoff. And I'm more puzzled why you'd think I was a Clone fan. I don't think they won a title today.

But hang in there li'l lion man. You roar long enough and maybe even skip will hear you.

I'll help you out since you are new to this; I don't think anyone won a title today...

Someone is butthurt alright.

Yeah what K-State accomplished was great for K-State, but it isn't that rare. It happened in the Big XII in 05 and 06.

This has nothing to do with the rivalry but I absolutely hate shared championships. I don't understand why college conferences do this. There can be only one.

Then let that feeling of hurt go. We are best friends lording over the conference.

A Bear and the Beaker Title Share. A bear!!! All black and brown and covered in hair!

It's the stupid PC attempt at minimizing losers. I despise it.

Are classes cancelled tomorrow in Manhattan?

Probably not. This is a secondary sport.

Oh, Tomahawk.

LMAO

Congrats to kstater for a very successful thread. This one is good. The best of the year is easily the KU v. ISU game thread. That had it all. That was the thread that kept on giving.

It seems the anchor has become buoyant.

That explains the last 30 years I guess.

Yea, now that I see what KSU can do when they put in 40-50% effort it does help explain that 36 year drought.

I tip my derby to him. Never thought the web would catch so many.

Split Title, no way the greatest

It would irk me as a paying customer to know I was spending my hard earned dollars for decades on an org that was half-assing it. Would demand a refund for the theft.

And that is exactly what happened. People didn't go to games in the eras of Altman, Asbury and Wooly. Yet the admin just trotted them out there not giving a ****. I remember so well after Wooly's FIFTH season of not finishing above .500 in conference I quit going and informed the AD I would never go back if they gave him a sixth year. And they STILL gave him another year. The Powertard mantra was : "But Wooly is SO close" to delivering a winner. Which was horseshit.

It's interesting that you posted what you did. Because that kind of thinking is what FINALLY gave impetus to the hiring of Bob Huggins. Obviously you weren't here at the time, but the move was quickly panned by the resident tards.

And he delivered immediately. When he left and Frank was hired I remember the reerun that worked at 610 at the time Mascot, who would then start the Shiver or whatever website, said "you coulda had Mark Fox". Those were great days.

My biggest worry is that Bruceketball will lead KSU back to the bad old days.

It's in contention. KSU earned it without purchasing All-Americans.

True, it is quite a feat but best ever.... EVER, nah

They should do what ku does and just purchase the refs. It's a lot cheaper. Although its not working well in football for us. Seems they just take our money and ignore their duties. Weird huh?

Enjoy it this year guys. Take a look at your recruiting class for next year. Even TCU did better. Bruce is one hell of a coach. He just can't recruit.

10-0 vs. teams in Texas!

0-2 vs. teams in Kansas.

This is incorrect.

0-2 vs teams from Lawrence, KS

We just don't care enough about the sport.

I recall myself comparing the Bruce Weber hire to the Charlie Weis hire.

WOOF.

So you're saying we are headed down the road of KU football? You ****ers are silent during football season and only spew your dumbshit during basketball. We were Big XII champs in football and basketball.........something KU hasn't done since 1930. It burns your ass to have to split with what you all consider little brother in the state and conference. Only thing worse would be if it had happened with Mizzou. I'd much rather be at the top of both major sports than have a constant top-10 team in one sport and a 1-11 team that hasn't finished above .500 in conference in over 5 years in the other. Radio's fatass replacement isn't going to change that either.

fine with me. Bruce could take us to the NC 4 years straight, and i still could LIKE him.

I'd say the Grand Slam in Golf would probably be the greatest accomplishment in all of sport, probably because you don't have a team to rely on.

In terms of team sports, it is definitely in the top 25 percentile, but nothing near the "greatest".

It's already been done by Texas and OU in Big 12 play. It's not all that rate or amazing. They need to do something in march. If they go to the FF they will start approaching KU 2008. Unfortunately they already lost their BCS game so even a title in hoops won't match it. Still an impressive year for kstate

A Big XII Football title + Fiesta Bowl Loss > Orange Bowl win + North Division Co-Champ.

And it's not even close.

No it's not.

2-2 vs teams from Kansas. But it's ok, you're kind of a dumbass.

Yep. Savor the success and be willing to cut bait quickly when Bruce goes full himself.

Dude is lauded by analysts but mediocre at best when forced to carry his own weight, unless he's a different man now.

Orange Bowl Champ + National Championship > Anything KSU has ever accomplished.

Period.


No.


No.


Period.


You have no National Championships.


You have no standing.


STFD, SFTU.



Argument over.


You're dismissed.

Probably not the greatest accomplishment in sports history, but definitely the greatest accomplishment in KS sports history. Of the latter there is simply no question.

It's not a sports thing, relax. Kansas State University is an agriculture school, University of Kansas is the flagship university in the state.

Yeap, conference championships in both basketball and football are greater accomplishments than a conference championship in basketball, a BCS bowl win in football and a national championship in basketball.

No question.

oh the trolling....

its too much

LMAO

Is the Bowflex Bowl still nationally recognized when played against the Catholic Basketball Conference?

Cutting the nets down tomorrow night. Gonna be a fun event.

No question.

Totally agreed. Sagarin put 07 Kansas #2 in his final rating, 12 KSU at #8. While you are correct that's not close, it was still a very good football season in Manhattan this year.

Finishing in 3rd place in your conference without beating a ranked team all year isn't even in the same ball park as actually earning a Fiesta Bowl bid by winning your conference and beating 4 ranked teams(2 of them on the road).

Sagarin agrees it isn't close.

Too bad Sagarin isn't reality. KSU would wipe the floor with the 2007 KU team.

Pretty sure KU beat the #5 team in the country that year. Dumbass.

Either way, winning 9 straight conference championships in a major sport is by far the greatest accomplishment in the Midwest sports history. It's not even close.

Technically, Va Tech was #1 in the computer portion of the BCS and #3 in the overall rating. After the loss to KU they finished 9 in Sagarin.

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt07.htm

Whoops. Good call, thank you.

Pretty sure that they didn't play a ranked team all year to earn a bowl bid, dumbass. Oh yeah, they played one and lost causing them to finish 3rd and play an almighty ACC football powerhouse. Tech would have been the 5th best team in the Big 12 that year.

Every team strives to be national champions.

Being a national champion trumps all.

In my opinion.

This

It's OK to be wrong sometimes. Don't pout, bro.

Just keep pounding your chest about beating an ACC team in football. LSU beat Tech by 41 that same year. I guess Sagarin forgot about that.

I don't think he forgets about anything. It's all incorporated into his ratings, just like your blowout loss to Baylor was this year.

I think he's a Missouri fan.

Grats K-State but I still like when this happened:

On This Day: US Hockey Beats USSR in “Miracle on Ice”

When is EMAW going to claim some Helm's titles and hang some "championship" banners?

The computers factored in KU's 2007 schedule in determining their #5 computer composite rating when the bowl bids were announced. Facts are kinda fun.

When the Helms Athletic Foundation awards them one? Dumbass.

KSU fans, congrats. The trolling on your part has been epic in this thread.

Skip would be proud

It got them a BCS bowl game championship did it not?

Here's what MU fans seem to forget or simply just can not understand. It's not KU's fault that MU's athletic director is an incompetent pos. KU's AD did what it took to make the selection committee select them over MU.

Was it a bullshit decision? Of course, MU was a better team and beat KU that season. But hate the game, not the player. Had the right decision been made, it'd be MU fans pounding their chests about beating an ACC team, not KU fans.

Holy shit, that was great. Was that a Catlab production?
