  • Sunflower Showdown - Stop!

    I want to get out ahead of this and get the drums beating.

    It really irks me that the state and media refer to the matchup between KU and KSU as the Sunflower Showdown.
    Trophy presentation, etc....

    There should be no mention of a "Sunflower Showdown" without WSU included (excluding football or course--- for now).
    Basketball: WSU has a better winning percentage against KU than does KSU for the past 35 years.
    Baseball: WSU baseball heritage and tradition speaks for itself

    Please start correcting people that refer to the upcoming games between KU and KSU as the "Sunflower Showdown." A "Big XII SoK Showdown" yes, but not a "Sunflower Showdown."

    Showdown of the also rans. By default they're playing for second place. :tranquillity:

      I guess they can call the battle for #2 by whatever marketing gimmick they want.

      But yes, I agree.

          Nope.... Too hard to penetrate the bubble of ignorance that sits above the KCK metro area.

            Didn't CBS make a TV show out of that this past summer? Under the Dome, maybe?

                      Because he's not interested has nothing to do with his reading skills or understanding your post.

                        Veritas I get tired of unnecessary insults on this board. I do have just as much right to my opinion and expressing my opinion as anyone else.

                        People get so worked-up about what KU, K-State and their fans are doing. I choose to ignore them and I'm bored with their antics - it really pizzes them off.

                          Had you choose to ignore the thread due to its title, you too, could have avoided making unnecessary insults.

                              My apologies Shocker85. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You explained your position much better in your follow up post than simply typing "yawn."
                              Being a KU/ WSU alum, I'm a bit sensitive to the exclusion of WSU not being included as part of any "Sunflower Showdown."
                              I'll be more diplomatic in my responses to your future posts.
