It's KU Week - Abbreviated Version

Cole_aldrich_medium

I'll be honest with you; I hate the KSU/KU game being on a Tuesday. For me, I like having several days to let the burning hate churn inside of me. I like to peruse KU message boards and blogs, read things that incense me (basically, any acknoweldgement that KU is anything but the embodiment of Satan's work on Earth), and poke at the burning anger that I have towards those bastards like a man moving around hot charcoals inside of a Weber grill.

Part of being a fan is allowing your world view to skew into an alternate reality where your team is the embodiment of good, and your arch nemisis is evil incarnate.  It doesn't matter that they may or may not be (but KU is), but to you, it's important.  It allows you to foster the us vs. them mindset necessary to create the group mentality that makes being a part of a fanbase so enjoyable.  Every good story needs a good villain so to speak.

So, in the story of a KSU fan, this week is another meaningful chapter.  It's yet another battle against the antithesis of all you know and believe in.  It's another opportunity to watch good battle evil.  And it's another reason to mock KU's dorky players.

So, take heed all who ally with the Dirty Birds...there will be no quarter.  There will be no sportsmanship.  There will be no sympathy.  And, if Kansas State loses, there will be no justice.

May good triumph over evil, and may the best man (Kansas State) win.

The kind that throws feces at itself rather than at others...

and brays like a mule.

Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White
Wildcat in spirit, Wildcat in fight
Hail Alma Mater from sea to sea
Onward forever, Hail Victory!

Not his most becoming picture...

but damn if he doesn’t move as well as anyone his size in the country.

LOL

I just watched Blake Griffin this weekend, and, no, he doesn’t.

Good lord. Cole Aldrich “moves well”. I’ve heard it all.

I think Cole has a couple inches on Griffin...

though surprisingly roster listings only give him a one inch advantage so I guess Ill give you that. But he absolutely does move well. Certainly awkward at times and not great in the open court, but very mobile and enough quickness to catch opponents off guard.

Given his hideous looking shot...

…it’s always a shock to me when the ball goes in. Surprisingly, it happens quite often, especially at the free throw line.

Makes no sense to me either

but as long as it keeps working, I’m fine with it…
