@dylans I ordered a #BIFM tshirt. Really cool looking. Too bad it didn't arrive for me to wear today.
I'll bring the luck :four_leaf_clover: and with all my support :clap: we come away today with a big statement win == 84-67. This is the only game that UT will sell out. This will be their "super bowl" but try as they might, UT is just not a cohesive unit and HCBS will go 4-0 vs Smart. :smiley:
Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU!
I'll take my phone and see if I can post anything/pictures from there. Have my camera for afterwards getting guys to sign my sign that says "13 & Counting" and some pictures that I printed out. Living so far away we are leaving my house at 1:30 to get a parking spot and have time for lunch at Scholz Garten and then go meet the bus when they arrive. Wonder who is calling the game?
The time on this is WRONG. It's at 5:00 PM:

@mayjay Thanks so much. I couldn't have made it through this last year without all my Bucketeers! This will definitely be a different game as Mike and I went the last 8 years. I plan to cheer extra loud.
@Texas-Hawk-10 = What section are you in? I am Section 31. Most KU fans are there to meet the team bus when they arrive - usually an hour before tip off. Chat me up as to where that is if you haven't ever done that. Also, Scholz Garten is where all KU Alum hang before the game.
Sorry I missed the chat last night. Was watching the game with my girls and had such a crappy feed that at one point we listened to Jayhawk Radio.
What do you guys think of:
13IFM = POY
The 13 will run into each other (overlap) so that it looks like #BIFM = POY :smiley:
I'm going to make several with front/back of:
THE SMART MONEY IS ON KU #13
NEW MATH: KU = 13 x (Big 12)
JUST JOSHIN YOU
KU IS SELF-ISH = STILL OWNS THE BIG 12
13 AND COUNTING
I'D RATHER BE SELF-ISH THAN SMART
Thanks for all the great suggestions.
Miami 47-46 with 1:32 in OT to play. Geez. I would want a refund on my tickets having to sit through that.
@JayHawkFanToo Had NO desire to watch that :shit: show!
@brooksmd This is an old thread. But you are right - Miami and Virginia are playing now. This game was just as unwatchable. 20-19 AT THE HALF.
After I just voted. Everyone needs to vote.
@ralster Can only guess but somethig like "Thank you for saving us again and you will be POY!"
The Comeback Kids are who we are.
Free to do this?
@Texas-Hawk-10 lots of KU fans there? I heard a roar after one our late baskets to tie.
Great way to spend an early afternoon. I'll raise a :beer: to our team, coaches and all of you later.
Will be a nice ride home to Lawrence won't it?
@BeddieKU23 you can say that again. Tech is up on the hillbillies at half by 2. Texas losing to the pussycats here in Austin.
@DanR that's why they lose.
Drew is Bill's bitch again!
Need 2 and 1 now.
Alpha JJ
Frank with how many?
@Crimsonorblue22 he's dead to me :smiley:
Even Hudy was standing up cheering them when Drew called time out. You hardly ever see her show emotion.
@KUSTEVE w/o our alpha male.
Showing some fight. 0 is my hero!
3 on JJ. Not good.
Getting chippy
:shit:
Need to speed up the pace.
Come on defense
JJ
@globaljaybird every trip down!!
Finally.
Svi made up to LL
Need to get some outside shots to fall. Must be that puke color in the stands throwing the guys off. /s
LL knows these guys.
@Bwag make them defend or foul.
Josh needs to quit hesitating.
Gotta drive the lane.
No Higgins or Aunt Fran!
Let's Go Hawks. Get the win.
I have every day and on two computers :smiley:
Interesting that the Austin newspaper on its front page has an article about our game vs Baylor with no quotes from Smart and no article about the UT game. Here is the article:
@drgnslayr This is how bad it has come for UT trying to get fans to their games. And the women's team has a good record - they beat Baylor for the first time in many many years last time they met.
ALL GOOD ONES as jabs. @wrwlumpy's / @drgnslayr 's modified version is good. But I kinda agree with @stoptheflop that it would be better to say something great about Coach/the team. I saw the "0 IS MY HERO" sign too and that was great.
If we beat Baylor, something as simple as "#13 Jayhawks Big 12 Champs" would honor us and rub it into UT at the same time.
Keep posting. We have a week to work on it. Thanks all.
@mayjay - Spot on and really relevant :smile:
@Kcmatt7 WISH I was going to Baylor. I'll be at the UT game on Feb. 25th
I am looking for some clever/witty suggestions for a sign for me to take to the UT Game. Provided we win Sat. @ Baylor, it pretty much locks us up for the conference title, right? The one with the most :heart: (favs) will be considered.
THANKS.
K-State president has heard enough of vulgar anti-KU chant
Posted by Matt Tait

Around here, the popular profanity-laced chant unleashed by K-State students at home basketball games, whether they're playing KU or not, has become the butt of many jokes, with Kansas fans pointing to what they believe is an inferiority complex by the Wildcats.
Whether that is accurate or not is up for debate and depends on who you're talking to and whom you're talking about, but administrators at K-State evidently have heard enough.
Released at high volume during the riot-inducing sounds of the popular techo beat "Sandstorm," the "Fâ KU" chant, as it has become affectionately known throughout the state, has been a fixture at Kansas State basketball games during recent seasons.
It showed up again this year, when the Jayhawks knocked off the Wildcats 74-71 on Feb. 6 in Manhattan and even was audible earlier in the season, when the Wildcats played Texas at home.
While the chant has become part of the rivalry and is a source of pride for many K-Staters, first-year KSU president Richard Myers would like to see it end.
Myers, on K-State's official web site on Thursday, released the following statement about the chant and sportsmanship in general.
"As the first year of my presidency unfolds, I continue to be even more impressed by the wonderful accomplishments of our students, faculty and staff. I hear daily about a student's accomplishment or a faculty member's significant research. What a pleasant surprise to discover our university is even better than I knew. This is why I decided to compete to become your president.
One surprise that has not been pleasant is hearing a vulgar chant at sporting events targeted at our in-state rival. It's easy to see how one can get caught up in the moment. However, many of my friends across the nation reached out to me following last week's men's basketball game and expressed their dismay. The chant was clearly heard from coast to coast on national television. It was personally embarrassing and not what one expects from a world-class university.
The strength of the Wildcat family lies in passing our legacy from one generation to the next. K-Staters are known for doing the right thing. Whether our fans are 8, 18 or 80, they deserve the best fan experience in the Big 12. I think about those younger fans sitting in the stands or watching on television and know they represent our next generation. As we continue the spring competition season, let's show them the Wildcat Way."
Whether the words above, or others like them from other K-State dignitaries, are enough to get rid of the chant remains to be seen and likely won't be known for at least another year. It's also not the biggest deal in the world. Fans will be fans and sometimes fans of all teams just can't control their emotions.
But props to Myers for speaking up.
The K-State fan base is one of the best in the country and consistently brings great energy and excitement to the rivalry with KU. They're clever, loud, passionate and proud and those traits should be enough without having to make blatant, loud and prolonged profanities a part of their regular routine.
