Actually that's a pretty cute story. And it wouldn't surprise me if their attitude on Tang had changed after this wk.
Octogenarian friends enjoy dancing in stands at KSU basketball games
Nothing quite gets the crowd going at K-State basketball games this season more than two octogenarians who like to shake it.themercury.com
Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

Never cheer for injuries but it would be nice if it only put their own players careers at risk.
Living in the valley now I see a shockingly small amount of evidence of “the adult industry”. The one exception is I’ve twice reviewed resumes for toy design jobs that include “adult” toys, probably relevant experience actually.
But he can look at video footage and tell that Tang " was pointing at a cell phone" which had to be 30+ fat away. That's some NASA level mental geometric computation right there.
Right, but a newspaper (or other legit media outlet) beat reporter isn’t going to report anonymous sources. Thats not how it works. An anonymous tip might be a place where a journalist starts digging, but it’s not going to be reported without confirmation or evidence from other sources.
“Unnamed sources” is totally different than anonymous. 1) It has to be someone who would be in a position to know from firsthand knowledge, and their identity/position is vetted. In this example, it would almost certainly have to be someone on the K-State Basketball staff or athletics department. 2) They’re giving the information to the reporter on the condition that their name not be used in the story.
In this case, I’d expect the B12 to pressure K-state rather than the newspaper for the source. It’s not a big enough deal to take it to court to get the source, but at the same time the B12 is going to want to send a message that this kind of thing isn’t going to be tolerated.
I think its time to let it go. Pollard & Otz both said nothing happened. If KSU wants to push it further, let them. Otherwise, no evidence was ever presented which indicates something nefarious took place.
I think this is the last you'll hear of it from the ISU side, unless Kansas State continues with it. At this point its probably just going to be fans bickering.
When things are truly “let go” usually the people spreading lies have to take some responsibility and apologizing.
What we are seeing is profiteers like Kurtz excited to monetize it, so I doubt anybody lets it go.
I disagree. We now live in a world of conspiracy theories. The vast majority no one takes responsibility for. Let's just enjoy the great season were having.
At the end of the day, an individual can only control their actions. If Kurtz wants to monetize ********, that's his deal. Its his credibility he's destroying.
I saw boys yesterday moving mops around and couldn't have been more than10. They wore t-shirts that had their title on the back.....can't remember the title.
Yeah, didn’t see any of that with bandgate or Hawk student body President locker room theft

Could you show me some of their fan's "push back" to K-State people who matter? I haven't seen much yet. Or, has their been anything close to an apology yet, from Tang, or KSU media? Not that I'm aware.
K-State had a few bad calls that game, but so did we. I will think of them as whiners and excessive sour grapers from now on until they officially issue a statement and apologize, or at the very least, explain their POV a bit more. You can't accuse a fanbase and coaching staff like they did, and not explain it in more detail, or apologize.
