We can all differ in our feelings towards Kstate, but personally, I could care less if there was a rivalry with them or not. People here trying to spin a positive if ksu has a strong bball program, but why? NOBODY outside of half of Kansans care about Kstate. Doesnt matter what banners they have/dont have, but people seriously: we are in too small of a TV mrkt for it to matter. KU matters on the national radar only because of Self keeping us in the top10, Self’s hi-profile recruiting, our RPI & SOS, and the fact we routinely schedule big mrkt east-coast teams. Beating Duke, UNC x 3, MichSt, Gtown & battling FL & even KY ('12) helps our exposure. You dont get an invite to the Champions Classic without being one.
KSU can suck, suck, suck for all I care. And I will surely twist the knife/dig the talons DEEP (or whatever other picturesque-yet-disturbing metaphor conveys the sentiment), the minute Snyderfossil retires. Back to the stone age for purple felines…
