Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

Ames is prettttyyy country. There's a segment of ISU fans and alums that I've always seen want to deny or distance themselves from it, but in my time it was definitely that way, and what I can see when I visit nowadays you still get plenty of that vibe.
I'm not one that sees that as a bad thing though, either. I grew up on a farm 3 miles from a town of 15-20 people and 4 miles from a town of maybe 120 people.
Depends on how you define a flop, Gilbert had a good acting performance to draw a foul against BYU if I remember right. Every team at times exaggerates contact to draw fouls, because it works.
Compared to what though? Compared to bum **** Iowa I'd say we're not that country, compared to a big city sure.
I’m gonna enjoy it tremendously if we get the win down there.
I don't mean Ames, the general community. I mean the ISU student body. Lots of small town kids. The house parties and college bars always had the element to them.
Ames, the adult community, is not very country.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone post this yet. I know this whole thing started with baseless accusations so I don’t want to contribute but this seems like it could be legitimate.
S-tier username.
Give me a ******* break KSU.
I wish them nothing but the worst this year. Crybabies. You got your asses beat down the stretch and honestly ISU played poorly most of the second half. Nice choke.
i guess when the other team out scouts you, you cry wolf and say they were filming timeout huddles, texting it down to the bench, relaying it to an assistant, who then relayed it to the head coach WHO THEN had to come up with a play to defeat it.. all in 2 mins.
I'm not going to pay for a 247 subscription, but am so curious what their "proof" is. Anyone got any examples?
All I know is that if I were the coach of a Big 12 team coming into Hilton, my recipe for a victory would be to:
1. Get down double digits in the first half
2. Climb back into the game in the second half hitting a bunch of contested threes
3. Wait until the game is within reach at the under 8 timeout and then lose my mind about absolutely nothing while simultaneously riling up the crowd
4. Get a technical foul with 2 minutes to go in a very close game, giving ISU 4 free throws
Brilliant strategy. Tang is truly one of the best strategists out there.

CC says Gilbert is bush league when it comes to flopping...
That's fantastic. It also fits Occam's razor - simplest explanation just might be the correct answer.
My question is, in a crowd of fans with cellphones, what would make Tang think that someone is 1) specifically filming his huddle (vs something else), 2) is affiliated with the basketball team on an operations level and 3) is actively passing useful information to the bench.
Each of those 3 questions above would be extremely difficult to ascertain with any certainty. Exponentially so during the middle of a basketball game.
