Have to admit I had never really paid much attention to your team because KSU never played you. I only knew Hugs left here to go home and was kind of annoyed about that for several months. Always felt you were way out east somewhere and I never checked a map. Well, youre not way out east. East of Kansas. Anyway, your team is for real. If we get by Iowa St this week, the game at your place will be huge. I was torn on the Tx game with you guys. I do not like Tx and many of us consider them our main new rival since Kansas is just terrible and Nebr and Mizzu are gone. Congrats on the big Tx win. I assure you the Tx people are very annoyed. My main reason for sort of pulling for Tx is that I don't want you guys coming into the B12 as newbies and mowing everyone down. Kind of want you get get some Midwest thumpings to keep you reasonably humble. Wish Game Day would be at your place. By the way, I think its very cool how your crowd sings the John Denver song. They sound a lot better as a large group than individually . You are one of the small group who has a strong FB and BB program which makes it fun. Welcome to the B12. Hope you can make it to Manhattan someday. I think we are very similair as Morgantown as far as atmosphere and values go. Not much ego here. We are mostly from small rural towns and farms and you know what kind of folks that produces. We love being the underdog and being disrepected. EVERYONE (except Kansas who is terminally inept) who plays and loses to us comes away saying the same thing: "We have better athletes than KSU and should have won the game". We like it that way. Went and watched your vb team the other week. They are very young and not up to B12 level yet but that will come (you prob dont care much about vb anyway). Looking forward to Huggs coming back. That was a good BB win last year for you against us in Wichita. Baseball should also be fun as we have a pretty consistantly good team. I have a feeling we will have some sports battles with you guys over the years. I've been a KSU fan for 50 years. Good to have you guys in the best overall conf in the USA.
