So we've come back to talking about the Booniversity of Kansas? Why does our amount of booing bother them so much?

Booing correct calls is similar in spirit to flopping. ISU fans and Marcus Smart have a lot in common.

Yeah, that is what gets people riled up. Example of a typical compliment:

"You guys (ISU) played a great game. You guys overcame your lack of defense and rebounding and Kansas took advantage and absolutely destroyed you. We shot better, our defense was great, and Greene was unstoppable. The game wasn't even close. But you guys did play hard, good try. We have won 57 titles, by the way, and someday ISU might win one. I'll be rooting for you guys to make the Big12 better, as Kansas can't carry the load forever."

Well played.

I'd add this as typical:

"I wouldn't expect Iowa State fans to understand what a zone defense is, but as a Kansas fan, I can tell you how effective it is. If you would like, I can catch you up on the basic basketball knowledge that I have that Iowa State fans do not"

Not asking you to stop.... just to own up to it. Which you just did.

You want a fan base to own up to booing? That is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Booing is part of home court advantage. I don't care if the crowd booed the entire night, with momentary stops so that they can breath. Just 1 call going your way because of it, and it has completely served it's purpose.

Your Marcus Smart analogy is ridiculous.

Iowa State fans didn't boo any more in the KU game in Ames than the Kansas fans did on Monday night.

No one boos like ISU fans. It's close between you guys and KSU fans, but ISU fans are the only fans that boo their own team's intentional fouls.

That's hilarious. Can you imagine how many pages of venom would be spewed forward if I said that this year's ISU team had a lower ceiling than last years?!?

The fact that you can not see the difference between what you posted here and what Mcpoyles posted shows me you totally lack any insight.

I love that KU fan arrogance extends even to their booing. Everything is simply more refined in Phog Allen Country Club. The plebeians of every other fan base can only hope to shine Jayhawk shoes for a living.

Yep, it's called a home court advantage. Please spare me the dialog of how whatever KU fans do to create a home court advantage is more superior. We get it....you rock and thank you for never doing anything that is annoying to your opposing fan base. It's what I like the most about your fans. It's like your almost perfect. Thank goodness your at least humble.:prolleyes:

Sincerely, BOOOOOOOOOOO

Kansas Fans pre-buy their tickets for 50 shades of grey on Fandango. The female KU fans do too. KU fans also get all their news from Good Morning America.

Do they hang banners for who boos less or more? No? Then boo all you want, I don't care. And who knows if ISU is actually the biggest threat in the Big 12 these days. Most thought they were at the beginning of the year but people also thought Texas was good at the beginning of the year and now they look NIT bound. Ask me that question in five years and I'll have a better answer for you. Right now KU really doesn't seem to have a rival.

Every year KU's biggest, and most consistently successful rival is some unknown compass school, seeded 14th that knocks them out of the dance in the second round.

I'd actually argue our ceiling this year is much higher. Ejim and Kane were the real deal, but they were the finished product. This year we have more moving parts, and those parts haven't come anywhere near to playing at their best. Last year's team knew how to grind it out, and used their guts to make up for a short bench and less talent than this year's. If these guys can figure out how to play half-decent 3pt defense and stop trying to hit the home run every play, look out.
Considering that almost everyone on here feels that if Niang didn't get injured that ISU has a shot at the national title I find that hard to believe. So all they have to do is figure out how to play decent in their half court offense and avoid hero ball? Doesn't that seem like a pretty big thing to have to learn with only 5 weeks left in the season?!?

So obviously I do seem to be in the minority in KU fans in regards to not caring about other fans booing. Huh. I do agree that ISU fans seem to boo with a bit more fervor but I have always just chalked it up to the general persecution complex atmosphere amongst many ISU fans that they are always getting screwed by the refs or the conference or some mystical karma. There seems to be years of frustration behind it so I get it. Like I have always said, go to town, it's part of what makes Hilton a tough road environment.

ISU has never cheated Kansas the way KU cheated ISU in Feb. 2004.

Cheaters. Cheaters. Cheaters.

If you've never been to a game in Lawrence, you should be amazed at how accurate you are. They have ushers checking for dress code (sweater vests at minimum) to gain access to anything lower than row 30.

KU fans=Spoiled Babies SOMETIMES True
ISU fans=Loyal Sons FOREVER True

I would love to see the clowns that keep spewing their KU Lovefest (on OUR board BTW) endure half the crap ISU has as far as lows yet still fill the arena and remain fans. The fact that I have met SO MANY KU basketball fans that are mysteriously fans of another football team (Nebraska, heck I've even met KU basketball fans that are Iowa Football fans) supports that fact.

Seriously, it's a whole different ball game with KU fans. They don't truly know what fandom is. If they did they would be fine with talking about THEIR team on THEIR board. Not going to other peoples' boards trying to get them to recognize their vast superiority. As I said before, we know the numbers. We know KU's basketball program is top notch. We happen to have a program that is universally considered ON THE RISE. It's long awaited and way past due for us TRUE fans that have stuck by our school in ALL sports for our whole lives. Let us enjoy it, let us talk about our team on our board and have all the fantasies, hopes and maybe even some homer perceptions of our team. After all CYCLONE Fanatic is a site designed for just that. Honestly, if you want to blow Bill Self and stroke your own ego (which is hilarious, like you did something) then go to a KU board. If you would like to point out strengths and weaknesses of ISU Basketball,that has validity on an ISU Basketball board. If you want to point those things out just to constantly bring the discussion back to KU's greatness, that is troll-ish. That is arrogant and that is further supporting my statement that you have a fragile ego that somehow gets it's stroking from the success of KU basketball.

I had stood up for twocoach in the past because I had seen him being cool and actually bringing valid points to the table (not always complimentary to ISU Basketball but truthful and insightful). What him Champ and PullnPray are doing now is not anything close to respectful on another teams board. The air of superiority with claims that ISU fans know nothing compared to them is sickening. If you think because you are a "fan" of a great program that makes you smarter or better, that is the epitome of arrogance.
