WSU vs. KSU, REGIONAL Game Thread, Friday 2 PM CST on ESPNU

Some guy will walk and their fans will stand up and yell in unison, "FIRST DOWN".

Did you guys know that K-State had 282 First Downs last year and Wichita State had 0! That is probably why half of Bill Snyder Stadium never sat down during the games this year.

And yet, Andrew, as is well documented, your championship trophy case sits bare with any meaningful titles...ever...

Unless you count biggest choke jobs

Hard to sit with your head up your butt.

Marquis de Bovine's insecurity is understandable. The finest KSU hoops and baseball seasons during his lifetime and yet the Wildcats will be shown up by WSU in both sports.

Stings.

[boyshocker]

By the way congrats on your first league title since ....1933. At least they have been consistent.

Fans can request tickets from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. on Tue., May 28 by calling the Wichita State Ticket Office at (316) 978-FANS.

The K-state ticket office will start selling tickets to the general public at 8:30 am on Wednesday. I also heard that they are adding bleachers to try and accomodate more people.

You are right. We don’t care about baseball unless we are winning. Baseball is a hobby sport. I think you know, or at least used to know, which sports bring in the money. But if you need a reminder while in Manhattan, take a look over centerfield at the $75 million renovation taking place to the football stadium or the $15 million basketball practice facility.

As far as getting tickets to the game Friday, well, good luck. But if you do come, please tell Coach Stephenson that K-State does not condone stalking.

Also, someone mentioned the last 5 games (since it helped with their argument), but K-State has won 12 out of the last 18….pretty sad that we have had such a run in a hobby sport against a school that is basically only known for that sport.

[GoShockers89]

Oh dear, the Hills Have Eyes have found our board.


KSU's best basketball regular season in almost four decades < Wichita State in a rebuilding year

KSU's best baseball regular season ever < Wichita State in a year so bad we may fire our coach


Bummer when your best actually kinda sucks.

Somebody told me the other day that KSU hasn't won an national title in anything, not even a hobby sport...is this true?

[ABC]

I am usually the last one to suggest banning anyone, but we really don't need to read any crap from K-State fans about baseball or anything else.

Just think, had WSU beat KSU in the 1964 Regional final in Wichita as everyone expected, both schools would have three Final Fours.

How much does it kill KSU fans that KU has a BCS bowl victory and KSU does not.

Oh, and it is a KSU fan that starts the smack on off-the field shenanigans? Delonte Hill? El Roberson? Lon Kruger?

Sometime I actually feel very, very sorry for the Kitty fans since their "rivalry" with their main rival is mind boggling one-sided. KSU has beat KU in basketball three times in the last 25 years. That is incredible.

Let's just ignore one of the biggest sporting events in the country....

Cat fans, remember that you have Brad Hill in large part because of Gene Stephenson.

Cat fans, do you not remember the Final Four? Wichita State has been there twice since your last visit.

Brad Hill, do your Daddy a favor and throw your 2nd or 3rd starter at WSU. It's been done before and didn't work out well. You are a fool to risk an early trip into the Loser's Bracket with sucky pitching.

And finally, Cat fans, ask Brad Hill if he is the coach of a hobby sport and report back with his answer. I dare you.

Another Wichita State Baseball /KU Basketball/ OU Football T-Shirt Fan....... Shocker!!!!!

By the way, Thanks for Brad Hill. You guys are really good guys once you get past the mean exterior. Actions speak louder than words and you can live vicariously through us in the Super Regional.

[ISASO]

The smart money is on Arkansas in this Regional. We've seen them plenty of times in Regional play and in the CWS. Welcome to the club, newbie.


By the way, CWS = College World Series

[GoShockers89]

Watching your team play in the Final 4. Feeling the excitement of advancing to the College World Series. Winning a national championship in, well, anything.







What are things that KSU fans will never experience?
