Courtstorming
-
That guy would never have run at Jamari head on. Looking at the picture, he’s lucky if he’s 5-10, 180. If he comes at Jamari head on, Jamari probably puts him on the ground just by bracing himself for the impact, without even putting his hands up, or even pushing him.
This guy needs to (unfortunately for him) have an example made of him. Harsh punishment to make sure nobody ever does this again. I’m talking potential expulsion and having a note placed in his academic record, which could potentially prevent him from being admitted anywhere else if he is a student, plus criminal charges, or, if he is not a student, criminal charges and a 5 year ban from all K-State athletic events. Players are held to a high standard, but they need to be protected from renegade fans, especially considering this guy blindsided Jamari.
K-State and the Big 12 need to be very public with what they do to make sure that everyone gets the message that this is unacceptable.
-
If I’m Jamari and KU Athletics I would file battery or Kansas Statute 21-3412. Seems like an open and shut case. KsU admin should ban the fan for life from all events as well. If that were a KU fan I’d be pissed off at that behavior. If that were my kid I’d kick his ass. There is obvious intent on making contact with Jamari.
Big12, all other conference (excluding SEC since they have their crap together), every sports association, ect should take this seriously. The SEC has a handle on it and we as the big12 are behind. Big shock!

One more take on the whole court storming issue.
We could stop it immediately.
#Win the games

Dear To Whom It May Concern:
I was terrified.
It was the largest hog stampede I have ever witnessed.
I am concerned for our players exposure to swine flu.
One of the KSU players was vomiting at one point in the game.
Has CDC been alerted?
(Note: just joking here, but the the practice of storming the floor needs to be stopped. PERIOD.)
-
I just now say the videos posted on LJW. Pretty bad. The guy went right after Traylor. What an idiot. That could have been really bad. Kudos to Traylor for restraint. The Townsend thing although confusing looked bad also. This was close to getting really, really, ugly. People have gotten hurt in the past from court storming. Has to stop.
-
I knew this would happen. If you review our game discussion from last night, it didn’t surprise me.
I’m not sure about the left side of the Mari assault, but I looked to the left and saw KState fans shoulder checking their own players. Also, watch the KState player to the left, a female KState fan comes out of no where and fists their own player several times.
This is a pure case of crowd frenzy and mob mentality. This was by definition a wild riot by KState, not what Mushberger, Liberace, and the idiot AD of KState is saying. They are obviously defending this mob rioting mentality. This is not a peaceful celebration.

There needs to be an apology for the KSU AD’s apology!!!
-
@Gunman there is a letter and it sucked
-
@truehawk93 Truehawk was right. She got in a KSU players face, not Oubre… And it could have been a small male fan with long hair-I never got a look at the face but the person was very quick and aggressive for a girl…
As for the fan who went after Jamari and Elllis, the KSU police made an announcement: “They have an ID. & thank you for the tips and information”.
-
@JayhawkRock78 IF that’s Oubre and I’m not sure if we are talking about the same incident, he/she fisted and pounded the player. I know the haircut looks like Oubre, but I saw what looked like another KSU player run in front and their unis matched. The footage is really hard to follow and the color seems a bit distorted. I believe that was Justin Edwards, not Oubre. You may be right, I could be mistaken, but if that’s Oubre the fan just validated my post even more.
Either way, male or female they laid into the player Edwards or Oubre. Animals all…
-
The SEC has an automatic fine of $30K for storming the court. If the SEC has such a policy, shouldn’t the Big 12 have an even stricter one?
Correction: @VailHawk has the correct fines below.
-
I heard on Dan Patrick the SEC fine is 5k first offense, 25k second offense and 50k thereafter.
When does mizzery play Vandy in the Paige?
-
@JayHawkFanToo did you see SZ in that pic on ku sports? Caption that!! Is he speaking up for us on all this crap!
-
I was tied up all day negotiating a very important potential contract and just started to look at posts. I wold have stayed away anyway since the negative posts after loses is not something I enjoy reading. I will have to check KU Sports but I don’t expect much from KSU alum Zenger.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I was trying to figure out who the guy in the suit was. Do you know?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Which guy? There was one that actually apprehended Mari’s purp. I think he was part of their security team. Then there was Townsend who grabbed the punk flipping Ellis off and yelling obscenities.
-
It was just nasty mayhem.
-
How hard can it really be to identify the guy who slammed into Jamari? It’s captured in the picture below pretty clearly.
-
Haven’t made much progress. I think I will go get something to eat and then check posts on the handheld afterwards.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 SZ was sitting there with a strange look of neutrality. He earned his undergrad at KU and his Master’s and PhD from KState? Wow…talk about being divided. I hope he remembers who writes his checks.
-
This pic
-
The perp in question identified himself in a letter to the school paper.
-
@JayHawkFanToo BS letter from student and AD!!!
-
@bskeet The guy behind Ellis is actually securing Ellis. He then grabs the retard after hitting Mari. He should’ve taken him or had the police take him into some kind of custody immediately. IDIOTS
-
Sorry… i’m a bit behind on this… somewhat willingly
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah…I think he’s part of their security team too. They did have a security detail on hand, just not very effective.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Look at SZ in the background…WOW
-
@truehawk93 looks like he’s going to grab that girl.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 At first glance, his look, and his hand appears to be going for the hair…It’s the best pic of this whole malaise.
-
@truehawk93 I thought the security team was in the yellow shirts, not out there yet!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I believe some are contract security and they do wear coat and ties.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think some of those guys have some military or police background too…off duty or mercenary type security for hire.

10 Years of B12 Total Domination culminated their frustration. It is understood why they (the rest of B12) did what the did. How rare it is for them to beat Kansas! But, KSU should have done a better job to protect the visiting team. On the other hand, KSU may have done our Team a favor to NOT want to have such storming feeling again in Norman.
To date, we have 3/4 Court Storming for our Road Losses in the Conference (OSU, WVU, KSU). Does HCBS wants another one at Norman or he will amp the Team up properly? I hope when we go to OU, it is for an Outright B12 Ring when we win and not needing a Win for a Tie. If ISU wins out, I think a game of such magnitude (vs OU for a Tie of B12) will tune our Team for a Deep March Run. RCJH!
-
@Shanghai_RCJH I thought ISU players motioned for their fans to not rush the court. In other words saying that they expected to win. Or was this another game, team or did I dream that?
-
@Kip_McSmithers Thanks. Corrected.Too many Stormings lately.
-
@Shanghai_RCJH oh I don’t know if I’m correct on that though. I know it happened during a game Imthis season. Figure it was isu though.
Nathan Power is the moron that physically assaulted Jamari. This is his pathetic letter to the Kansas St Paper:* “I want to take this moment to share a sincere apology in breaking from the Wildcat way and stepping outside what is acceptable in the spirit of the game. Following the basketball game I simply let my emotions get the best of me in all of the chaos. In my excitement I was not careful of the people I was around. I am sorry that I made the KU basketball team — Jamari Traylor in particular—feel disrespected. By no means can I change what took place but in the future I will be aware of how emotions can impact good judgment.” *
You’re sorry for disrespecting Jamari and KUMBB team?? Come on, do better than that!! You purposefully struck with malicious intent an opposing teams player after the game in which you took absolutely no part in. Meaning you didn’t need to be anywhere near that player. You obviously were looking to draw contact with somebody from the KU team, why else run toward their bench. Why else jump directly into Jamari’s back? Nathan, your apologize sucks, just like you.
As for my take on our ADs take on this. It sucks as well. Actually SZ’s take sucks more and harder. SZ, you need to take a stand for the KU players. If it’s not for those KU players your ass would still be at whatever piss ant low major we got you from. You don’t want to “pile on kstate right now”?? Yes, poor kstate. They inadequately protected those players YOU are responsible for protecting but don’t pile on your former school, thier feelings might get hurt :(. Has BGL offered up anything. Maybe she has a bigger set than Sheahon and will stand up for her students.
Don’t want to pile on…smh
-
@Kip_McSmithers just pile it on!!! More please! Currie’s letter sucked too!
-
@truehawk93 True Hawk, you speak the Truth. I went back and looked at a higher def screen and it was a KSU player, NOT Oubre. Totally my bad. Thanks for setting me straight. I will edit my other posts.
-
I’ve thought about this a lot the past few days. I hope there are no charges brought against this young man. Have any of us ever done something when we were 18 or 19 that we regretted? (My hand is up)
I hope Jamari forgives the kid and they shake hands. Or man-hug. Something like that.
I do believe that the K-State fellow should have some consequences for his action though. Nothing crazy.
I was thinking a " I
KU " tattoo.On his forehead.
-
@nuleafjhawk
not going to happen! 
run dumb kstate kid! I thought both(AD and student) letters were all about kstate and didn’t own up to the actual intentional shove from the blind side! What happened to the TT fan after words w/m smart? He was banned! No way will Mari hug up w/him!
-
@nuleafjhawk I smiled at the tattoo line-then I laugher out loud when I read, “On his forehead”
