OU @ KU

29-1* with an asterisk noting last year's WWE scripted sports entertainment event that was executed in Ames.
I wonder how many times conferences have released statements about officiating this year?
I think it is easy to kind of forget how very bad that was last year. There are lots of terrible calls, but very few require the conference to admit that they are idiots. And very few cause the national media to become upset like they did twice last year with our games.
That idiot twocoach doesn't make fun of ISU fans for booing at home. Every good fan base boos any call that goes against their team. Give them the business is what I say.

If refs were actual people, then I would disagree.
But many of your fans have no idea that you guys boo. It's some sweet denial.
That could be my bad. I'd be shocked if you haven't done it though. That response is a very typical Kansas response.
Why, again, are you on an Iowa State board after a Kansas game? So weird.
They were wrong. It was the only HOME loss on Big Monday ever. That game was @Kansas. They have lost several games on the road, including just a few weeks ago @Kansas State.
Do you have a s_cript running to detect and then multiply how many times you name is mentioned on other sites? Otherwise how would you know it was mentioned and to exaggerate?
Troll on, boi.
You caught me. I didn't actually go and add them up. I didn't think the exact number was important, but it was more than one as I scrolled through the thread from the beginning. I'll try to be more accurate next time.
Honest question...how many of you were scripting posts to make directly towards me when when you thought that Oklahoma might win that game?
And for those griping about the refs, you do realize that Wiggins AND Tharpe AND Ellis AND Traylor AND Frankamp all were in foul trouble in the first half, right? It seemed like every time we touched someone a foul was called. OU had a small number of free throws shot per number of foul because so many of the fouls called on KU were silly ticky tack fouls that weren't shooting fouls. But as ISU fans I am sure you are sworn to ignore that and see only fouls that went for Kansas. And you call me a homer...
10 straight. Only Duke has managed a run of even half of that in a major conference since the modern era of college basketball kicked off in '85. Heck, my oldest daughter is 10 and has never seen KU NOT win the conference. Love it.
Your streak would be toast if the refs had not been corrupt last year. Kansas fans are so annoying. Go celebrate somewhere else.
FWIW I thought the officiating last night against Oklahoma wasn't too bad and certainly not favoring KU more than any home team could typically expect. I also think the two KU games against ISU this year were officiated pretty well.
I still think you're a troll for how often you post here and can't admit KU stole a win by benefit of blown calls in Ames last year. The errors were getting ESPN coverage for four straight days and the Big 12 issued an apology for the mistakes made at the end of the game, it wasn't the type of blown call that happens all the time...and in a year KU tied with a team for the regular season title.
Did Kansas benefit from that 50/50 call? Yes. Did Kansas get hurt by other 50/50 calls in that same game? Yes. That's the end of my "worry" about the refs in that game. Trying to convince me to feel otherwise is like trying to change someone's opinion on abortion; it simply won't happen no matter how good you feel your argument is. I do nopt concern myself with what was called because it is not a fixable item. The team can do nothing to improve on it for their next game, so why waste time dwelling on it? The game being covered as controversial by ESPN means nothing. ESPN turns virtually everything into a huge ordeal. They are soap operas for men. The more content they run showing A) the major teams with the biggest fan bases and/or B) little guys getting "screwed" by those major teams with major fan bases, the better. They have blown up their network carrying on about Jim Boeheim whining about a 50/50 call. I am sure all the Syracuse fans are as irate as ISU fans over the "obviously wrong" call that "shows the horrible favoritism that Duke gets" but are completely ignoring the "obviously wrong" (in the eyes of Maryland fans and fans wanting Syracuse to lose) no call at the end of the Maryland game last night that allowed Syracuse to win the game. It's typical fandom at it's standard level. Last night's OU/KU game was very tightly called, sending a lot of KU guys to the benchin foul trouble for ticky tack fouls. The players seemed to adjust over the course of the game and were able to pull out a big win. It doesn't matter if they were good calls or bad calls, you have to deal with the results that happen and play to the final buzzer. ISU had a chance to win the game in Ames last year when it went to OT and they failed.
I think KU OSU game could be very good bc KU could have a letdown game after clinching the title and OSU is fighting for the tournament.
I think that Self purposefully did not have a celebration for the Big 12 Title last night so that he could keep that celebration as something to motivate KU for Saturday's game. After Smart backflipped on the AFH floor, KU wants to return the favor by hoisting the Big 12 trophy @Okie State.
