Impressed with Kansas Fans

[Kung Wu]

Did I really just say that? Yes, yes I did.

The vast majority are finally giving WSU props and respect. I thought I would never see that. There are a few dbags holding out but that's always the case.

I know it's verboten on here to discuss the jhox but since they are stepping up and shouting out props to WSU, it should be acknowledged on here. They have a good team too and I'd love to meet em in the Final Four.

Luckily, the sane world doesn't judge fan bases by early season message board flames. I think most beakers are impressed with what we have accomplished. Those that aren't, are not worth your time.

[Veritas]

Most are very appreciative of good basketball and support WSU.
The only ones with which it might be a problem are those from JoCo.
During my 4 years at KU, there literally wasn't a week that didn't go by that some JoCo KU student wasn't slamming Wichita and WSU. NEVER did I EVER hear of any negativity coming from any other students EXCEPT those from JoCo with regards to WSU and Wichita.
-- It's a commuter school
-- Why would you go there for graduate school
-- Why would anyone live in Wichita
-- Isn't Wichita about the size of Topeka
-- Where is it exactly
-- What county is it in
-- Where do people work in Wichita; the farms?
-- Do you guys play in D1
-- Are there freeways in Wichita

KU is a great school with great fans. But JoCo sucks, the chiefs suck, the royals suck, missourah sucks and I wish JoCo was part of missourah because that's where those low lifes belong. I can't tell a damn bit of difference between KU/JoCo students and those SoBs at mizzou. Screw 'em.
Go KU
Go WSU
Screw JoCo

True as this may be, it would be interesting to see their perception of us were our records exchanged.

I would rather meet them in the Finals. Would be so cool.

There are plenty of Wichita-based KSU and KU fans that have been jerks about it too. It isn't all JoCo.

God, I love your posts, Veritas.

I have a couple of friends that fall into this camp. And many more that that were like this until last years run. Honestly, there used to be a ton of Wichita born and raised that were horrible, but most of them have repented. At least to my face.

Here's an example. A high school classmate of my wife's posted on his Facebook page yesterday, that "he couldn't take it any more that he had to speak out. Yes WSU is goo, but is simply not a top-ten team." blah blah blah. He is a KSU grad.

You see, to him good basketball looks like a bunch of kids that are terrified of their coach.

If you were there from '88-'92, you might have spoken to my cousin. The guy is still the biggest snob I know.

I have lived in JoCo for more than 28 years and in that time I have met exactly one KU fan that has been obnoxious about his team and dismissive of others. That person grew up in Rose Hill..

I don't doubt your experience (Veritas) at KU, but college kids as a group, tend to be jerks. It is part of growing up.

The only KU fans that are pricks are the insecure types that are KU fans because they want to cheer for winners.

They dont care about the football team or any other sport. Just basketball.

They have to dis WSU because it threatens their insecurity.

Thats why I have to separate my disdain for KU into segments.

There are KU fans and there are KU basketball fans. I dont mind KU fans. I get annoyed by KU basketball fans.

This times infinity.

A friend of mine once said KU fans are Kansas Fans, they are not fans of basketball. I somewhat agree.
