This whole thing is insane haha. K-State fans have completely lost it. I really hope that this whole thing is over the dance team coach filming the dance routine. That would take this from funny to downright hilarious. They are such losers
Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

You aren’t great at interpreting 3D space, yet you get oddly amped up about being the greatest authority on it. As someone who professionally 3D sculpts human anatomy it’s entirely possible the foot is on top of the other foot. Just trust me, that’s not definitive proof his foot didn’t get stepped on…why it matters so much is weird.
Or you could just watch the video where neither foot gets stepped on, good luck with your 3d sculpting though, sounds like a neat little hobby.
Still wondering what Tang actually thought the refs were supposed to do with his paranoid accusations.
You must be from the 1800’s then.
This was a fair take from what I assume is K-States version of CW. I could easily see CW and company making similar statements if roles were reversed.
They look like fools thinking there were racial slurs, stuff thrown at them AND spying. I’m not buying any of it until there’s evidence or at least a statement but there’s just no way that all happened. I think they are going to implode under Pooty Tang some year and it’s gonna be great.
Well, someone finally figured out the secret sauce behind Hilton Magic. It was a good run.
Same. Those fans are embarrassing. Here’s the truly sobering realization. Those are our donor class.
It was a lot tougher back in the '70s and '80s before cell phones when they had to set up huge television cameras or take a **** load of polaroids and shake them like crazy so they would develop in time.

You are not wrong, but neither is OP. I go to a week long conference in Manhattan every year for work, and I lived in Ames for 4 years pretty recently, plus also school.
Manhattan is noticeably more country. But you'd probably have to be very familiar with the nuances of "flyover" country to notice.
I'd almost guarantee someone from the coasts or major urban areas would not be able to distinguish "KSU world" from "ISU world" whatsoever. And that's ok!
I listened to the game recap on Heartland College Sport's KState podcast this morning. Couldn't believe Mundo is paying that guy to record what was the biggest butthurt whining 17 minutes I've ever heard. He spent the first 14 minutes saying that the refs were absolutely atrocious and unfair and the whole system needs blown up because college MBB is so unwatchable, then called ISU fans racists then closed by once again reminding everyone that the game was fundamentally unfair and stupid. spent all of 0:00 actually recapping the game or giving any sort of insight or analysis.
That's what I'm trying to get at. I agree it's a little stronger at KSU. They seem to have fewer KC area kids than ISU has DSM area kids, and it's just farther away from the nearest city.
But like you said, you have to really understand the nuances of flyover country to get that.
Agreed. But the whole accusation is strange.
1) How could these "two guys" (you could see Tang say "two guys" to Otz during the post game handshake) get any audio? There is no way they would be able to hear anything being discussed unless they were inside the huddle
2) How does Tang know they were recording them and not the media timeout entertainment?
3) TV crews will be inside the huddle every so often, and even broadcast some of the coach's talk to the players. I've seen this happen with Otz in earlier games this season where Otz is telling his players something along the lines of "we have to keep attacking the paint". The crews are only able to pick up audio because they were right next to Otz
4) How would Tang even know if these two guys were giving the ISU any info? Did Tang somehow see texts?
This whole accusation is preposterous

Anecdotal I know but I know two KSU people: an alum who lived in KC area, Iowa and rural Kansas growing up; and a KSU freshman who grew up in suburban KC - she listens to country music but has never spent a night on a farm in her life.
Reading KSU boards, I was able to find a level-headed reaction that makes me think not all K-State fans are whiny lunatics. This is copied from their premium board but does not contain any premium/insider information. It's not one of their mods either, just a subscriber. I thought the comments were good and should be shared. Mods - delete this if you think it's appropriate to do so. I'm definitely not trying to break any rules here.
They don't have any proof (probably because it didn't happen). One of their staff clowns made a long post including video of the TV copy about the 8 minute mark of the second half and then circled in a still photo where they think Tang and an Assistant were pointing to the "spies". The pointing is more towards the corner area, 10 rows up maybe, not behind the bench. Pretty nice seats but high enough up I have no idea how a cellphone would get anything helpful audibly or visually.
They also deleted a post from a staff member about the "incorrect" theory ISU had a plant in security/arena uniform that was behind the bench and communicating the ISU staff. That likely occurred because Cyclone Larry screenshotted it and put it on Twitter and they got appropriately ridiculed. I chuckled because THAT post was too crazy but spying accusations in general totally make sense.
A couple of posters are correctly questioning how spying would be feasible given the time constraints and pointing out their staff and fans look batshit crazy without evidence. A few others have mentioned gambling or "that's how ISU covers spreads", and most just blindly believe it.
