Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

[CyberJJJ]

Baylor. Because they have no fans at all

Are you forgetting Chip and Joanna Gaines?

I would really like to know the truth.

1. If racial slurs were involved, then that's trash behavior and the fans should be banned from future games. But why not just say that's what happened? At least let the overwhelming majority of Cyclone Nation shame them into better behavior or getting lost.
2. If objects were thrown at the KSU bench, that's also trash behavior and the fans should be banned or somehow disciplined. But why not just say that's what happened?
3. If ISU fans were being "mean," well, you might want to toughen up buttercup. That's life on the road in sports. And I know why you wouldn't say that's what happened -- you'd get laughed at.
4. If KSU's staff thought ISU managers were trying to spy on their huddle, then that's just ridiculous. And I know why you wouldn't say this is what happened, too. You'd become the new primary laughing stock of the sports landscape, replacing Iowa football's offense.

Keeping the reason behind your outrage quiet kind of discredits you.

I cant imagine that anything was said that was that bad. There was at least a few times I saw when they were showing there bench. K State players looking at our crowd(student section) and were smiling or laughing. Guessen(sp) waved at the crowd and started laughing. No players reacted badly or said anything at all. This is all on the crazy coaching staff and them being crybabies.

Lost is the fact we used to have these long conversations about butt hurt after we LOST a game. Nice to have them after winning and ugly one!

 

[BoxsterCy]

Now hearing something thrown at the bench?

Grenades, I heard, actual grenades!

 

[CyberJJJ]

reading through the ksu forums now. The amount of times they quote @ZRF is ******* incredible!

Did you suggest a prisoner exchange?

That makes a ton of sense actually.

There's no reason whatsoever to believe that 1 or 2 happened

 

[Cyclones125]

Did anyone post this yet?

This specific instance was hilarious, but I could tell from the upper deck this guy was being an a**hole most of the game. Sure, The K-State staff was putting on a clownshow but standing in the aisle 3 rows up and furiously yelling at refs and coaches for everyone to see crosses the classless line. And I generally hate the classless/sportsmanship argument.

Did you suggest a prisoner exchange?

I disagree with ZRF just as much as the next guy, but have you met a KSU fan? thats not an upgrade for us

 

[BoxsterCy]

Why? His takes are usually wrong.

Quantity to chose from, nobody posts as much as he does. He just spams the gamethreads with his hot takes.

 

[JP4CY]

Of course we're not all farmers.

The vast majority of people at Iowa State games grew up and live in Iowa. They probably have a close connection to some small town even if they didn't grow up in one. The same thing applies at K State but just exchange "Iowa" for "Kansas". There is absolutely a high level of shared culture between Midwestern ag schools.

If you can't see how there are major cultural overlaps between the two, you're just being obtuse. Our fanbases might be more like each other than we are like our in-state brethren.

Hell the towns are even similar. I think ISU fans kind of **** on Manhattan and KSU fans **** on Ames.
I've had a good time any time I've been to Manhattan.

As a student I sat right behind the opposing bench a number of times in the old Armory. We were loud and obnoxious but never obscene IRRC. Was sort of funny seeing the old folks who now own those seats acting like 18 year me. Made, me chuckle but also reminded me how mad student me was when we lost those seats in the move to Hilton. And we've now moved the end seats back which sucks for the students.

The lose/loose struggle has found a new challenger.

Kitty twitter fans most have a collective UTI-

 

[CyDude16]

So Surly is even more Surly?

Oh yeah, he’s running full steam ahead accusing racial things were yelled at the team.

 

[Prone2Clone]

He might be bias, but either way, it's a mute point.

 

[CyDude16]

This is exactly what I was thinking too. You can’t throw multiple tantrums on national television, including in the handshake line, and then act like nothing happened. The K-State players acted more mature than the head coach last night.

Besides finister or whatever his name is. Was a petulant child all game.

Toss Stillwater/OSU into the mix, and you have 3 remarkably similar college towns, universities, and fanbases.

Wherever conference realignment has taken us, the fact that we're seemingly hitched to those 2 forever is something I really appreciate.

This physically pained me. Bravo.

I’m not usually a uniform nut, but I would be mad if I had to watch those very often. Not sure if it was my TV or my cataracts but had a hard time distinguishing the numbers with purple on purple.

I liked their uniforms. Much better when they first wore them and had dark purple shorts with light purple tops like they wore in the 60s if I recall.
