On ESPN radio. He is a fan of Monte, Matt and "Noz Long." He talked about how we have been more successful in KC than Kansas has in recent years. I don't like the guy but it was cool to hear him saying nice things about ISU.

Whatever helps him deal with the season-ending loss we're preparing to deal him.
It really is hilarious; they refuse to respect us but fear the hell out of us.
I agree that he is probably doing it to light a fire, but I think he does respect ISU more than their fan base does. ku fans won't admit to this, but mizzou leaving left a void for a conference rival for them, and we are slowly filling that. I would love nothing more than to be the focal point for their fear and hatred.
We've beaten them at least once in the last 4 years (and 5 years ago 2 games were OT losses), and recently we've owned them in KC. There are reasons why they fear us.

I cant blame them for complaining. Big 12 has 6 teams in the field and 3 of those 6 are in the same region? A team that tied for second in the big 12 that is 3 hours away from the S16 venue slated to run into them in the sweet 16?
We'd probably be complaining as well if it were the reverse. I figured if we got a 4\5 there was no way we'd hit KU.

I love personally love the draw, because we match up well with them and they only have 4 "dudes". I'm pretty sure the rest of them still wet the bed
...but name another Power 5 conference that the regular season and tournament champ could meet in the Sweet 16. I think it's a pretty ****** draw for KU personally. Might not even come to pass, but I hope hope hope the matchup does.

That's all fine and dandy but does he know that KU blew a 15 point lead to ISU at Phog?
Agreed- that means that the Clones will continue to grow and continue piling up winning seasons and NCAA berths.
I'm not sure but I think he may have been there, maybe he was too focused on the cheerleaders though.
I think he's always been a decent guy and has always respected the other players and programs in our league. Not an act for him IMHO.
