I think it is funny that they cannot come up with anything more original that something that has been chanted for 15+ years.

"ha ha ha the shocker ha ha ha" "Witchitahhhh is not a state"

Actually Wichita is a state. It is a state of blissful superiority to Southwest MO State.

You may laugh but I think this game comes down to the final possession just like your last game did.

Most of the intangibles favor us. You just won your biggest game of the season. Tough to get the kids motivated taking on a middle of the pack Valley team that your kids probably have little respect for. On the other hand we are so close, but just not quite tasting that sweet taste of victory each time out. I feel kind of like we are the Baltimore Ravens after the AFC championship game last year. But we have no Ray Lewis.

We always give you a good fight in Springfield. I don't know if that is because of the rivalry or what. It is tough to quantify. The metrics will show that you will be big favorites, but there is just something out there that causes this game to be close irrespective of the talent on each squad. This feels like our Super Bowl and the crowd and fellas on the team will play like it. We just have to be better than your boys for 40 minutes or maybe 45. I wish I could clearly lay out the matchups and concisely explain why I feel this way but I cannot. It is intuition. I think Scheer shoots the crap out of the ball and we hang until the bitter end. We shall see soon enough.

Another patented Lusky bump.

This guy is the Jerry Quarry of our fan board. For those of you not familiar with this human punching bag, look him up. I think my grandmother kocked him down on multiple occasions.

Not sure why but this not a state crap really bothers me.

If you are at all like me, the reason it is annoying is as follows:

A) You are able to understand basic grammar (namely that the word state modifies the word university not Wichita).

B) Anyone stupid enough to make the joke in the first place is too stupid to even understand point A, so you can't even correct them.

The key is to understand how to communicate with Bear's fans. You have to think in SLOMO to communicate with a SWOMO.

One shouldn't assume grammar is taught in the Hills.
