Ok, so I got sucked in. Whatever. I could not resist linking this. You will not believe what you read.

Again, I sincerely hope this is another attempt of satire.

It would seriously be nice if some of those Wizard of Oz hayseeds visited over here. Just sayin....

I'm sorry...but I found every one of the posts in the thread you linked funny. That board is pretty damn good...

Funny haha or funny queer?

I will admit, I have laughed at a few myself. Still, the point remains, either those cats have done their homework on local mascots or they are just plain stupid.

They aren't stupid...

Some of their stuff is satire. Some of it isn't.

The racial shit gets old. The toothless, uneducated, chewing red man comment shit gets old. And they mean every word of it.

I understand their comments on how bad we are and how good they are - is in good fun and not serious, but the other shit is just ignorance.

I liked the musical group Kansas...and that actor Harry Dean Stanton. Wasn't he from Kansas?

You gotta get over it Buzz. Dammit Blue was old. That's what old people do. They die.

Yeah they do. And fwiw, Harry Dean Stanton is alive but from Kentucky. Unsure about Blue though.

After being bored enough to read some more of that shit, I do think they truly believe the Big XII to be superior top to bottom to the SEC. They believe the SEC's dominance is purely media hype.

Granted, it's obvious that they are fucking around with about 90% of it, but I really get the sense that they're pretty confident and they really do think the SEC is extremely overrated. It appears that they expect to win in a shootout, and there is basically no chance that we blow them out by two touchdowns or more.

For example, I don't think this guy is being satirical at all:

Books might bait all the SEC-SEC-SEC lemmings at 7.5, but I doubt it's much over that if at all. Most outside the  SEC-SEC-SEC realize what a fluke the barners were last year & how evenly matched these teams really are.  The best team in your overhyped league got absolutely skull-mumped by OU in the Sugar, NU (a mediocre big 10 team) handled Georgia pretty easily and y'all needed MIRACLES at home to beat both. Talk to me about giving up 21 to piggy AT HOME . They're worse than Iowa State.

However, the proper response to that stuff is pity, not the "Nuh uh, our dicks' bigger" responses I see over there.

As GH pointed out:

50,000 seat "stadium" that's not much bigger than some HS FB Stadiums in Tx, Al and Ga. 

They guy that gave us his tickets warned us that we would be climbing "pretty high" up in the stadium.

I snickered.

The equivalent location in JHS is the very top of the student section.  We seat more in our lower deck than they do in their entire stadium.  Hell, we had half again as many folks at our spring game as their entire capacity.

And check this al.cum headline:   "Auburn preparing for Kansas State, 'the toughest place to play in the Big 12' "   

That's like saying "the sexiest grandma over the age of 95".

The article cracks me right the hell up:

The seating capacity at Bill Snyder Family Stadium is 50,000, but crowds usually surpass capacity. Attendance has eclipsed 53,000 five times and seven of the top 10 crowds in school history have occurred over the last two seasons.

"This will likely be our greatest attended game ever," Kansas State athletics director John Currie told the Wichita Eagle. "We actually have not sold standing room-only tickets, because we know our student section will be as full as it has ever been that night. Student attendance is highest on weekdays."

The smallest SEC crowd Auburn played in front of last season (Arkansas, 66,385) far surpasses the attendance at Kansas State games, but K-State picks up recognition from players in the Big 12 as one of the toughest places to play in the conference.

If it's a family stadium, guess it's a good thing most of the X won't be there.  Can't say as how we are what you might call "fambly friendly".

It really is in poor taste to carry on a bunch of raucous behavior with old folks and children present at the bloodbath.

After beating the spread 13 consecutive games, Auburn opens at only -9.5 favorites.

Bet the house, the farm, your horse-drawn carriage, and your sheepwife on Auburn.

Line dropped to -8.5. Delusional Big XIIers are are probably going to continue to drop it all week.

If Dorothyland werent so far away and a ticket could be had cheaply, I wouldn't mind showing up and raising hell at their Fambly "Stadium". Since you are going, please do not let us down. Show them we actually aren't all retarded. And have our teeth. And don't chew tobacco. And don't have slaves.

Its a brave new world. The new south even. Maybe they should get out more.

I find it humorous that they have a rat as a mascot.
