KC radio station talking Big 12 tourney

[ISU_REV]

On our way to KC on Tuesday we were listening to the local KC station talking about the tourney. They mentioned how one of them was picking Mizzou and the other KU. They then went on to say maybe K St will come on and surprise people. The other said Baylor has the weapons to also win the tourney. As they went on and on I got more steamed. Here is how my call went to the station:

Station announcer: Thanks for calling. What is on your mind?

Me: I was just wondering if there was a 3 seed in the tourney this year.

Station announcer: What do you mean?

Me: Well I noticed you mentioned the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th seed in your predictions. I also noticed you picked the number 1 and number 2 seeds to be in the finals. That must be how you do all your brackets.

Station announcer: Well, we were just talking about the local schools.

Me: Yeah...I forgot Baylor was just down the road.

After I got off the air they did apologize to the Iowa State fans for overlooking us.

Atta boy!

 

[DRCHIRO]

Nothing wrong with flying under the radar.

 

[CyFan987]

Just a few more people to make eat some crow this season

 

[lionnusmb]

at least they didn't start talking about Texas. That would have really been an insult.

 

[Let's Go State]

That is funny! Kc isn't sure if Iowa state is local or not it seems even though Manhattan isn't much closer than Ames.

610 or 810? What show?

Which station and do you know who the host was? Most stations down here give us a lot of love.

To be fair, its been a number of years since we've been relevant in KC. When was the last time we really invaded KC, the Morgan years?

After this week I think we'll finally be considered back. The team has shown it on the court and now the fans will show it in their attendance at the tourney.

KSU is about 50% closer, than Ames. Also, second to KU, there are actually more KSU grads in the KC metro than Mizzou. That was discussed a couple of days ago on 810, regarding Bill Self's comments and whether or not Mizzou/SEC will make KC an SEC town. The consensus was that KU dominates the KC metro, followed by KSU, and then Mizzou a distant 3rd in regards to alumni and attendance at KC venues.

810...around 3:00. They were also talking about how they thought the tourney would stay in KC through 2017 just so the SEC wouldn't come in an have their tourney in the Sprint Center. I am sure Florida would love to travel to KC for the SEC tourney.

Not sure why fans get so worked up about media coverage.

 

[Cydkar]

I swear people forgot how crappy we've been for quite some time now. We're a johnny-come-lately and there's some lag time involved. We're back and everyone will take notice. We don't need to get so butt hurt all of the time.

 

[CYphyllis]

I don't know how you people make it through the day with so much rage.

Last time ISU won a game in the Big 12 tourney was 2005. ISU has lost their last 7 games in KC.

Salt in the wound!

Seriously, I can't tell you how glad I am to have the Dark Decade of Irrelevance finally behind us. At the time of Hoiberg's hiring, I liked the good feeling of it, but I was a little skeptical about how fast he could get things turned around and whether the fan base would have the patience for a 4-5 year rebuilding job. No worries! Fred had a plan with some calculated risks, but it sure has worked.

I'm so happy Dana Altman left the Crates for Duckland and we have Hoiberg here now.

Cheers

Getting mad at sports is much easier than confronting the real problems of life.

You're the one with butt hurt . . such a petty complaint.

 

[Cydkar]

You're the one with butt hurt . . such a petty complaint.

Your opinion, of course. Our fan base is quite the whiny bunch. A loyal bunch, to be fair.

People will take notice if we sustain excellence.

Depends on whether you believe media coverage impacts fan following and recruiting. Those are kind of important things.
