lol, lmao, rofl, etc

Apparently KU had a meeting with Chris Klieman this week about a potential field storming, pending a Jayhawks win.

Taylor Poitier said after the game:

“The only rushing they (the fans) did was to their cars because it was raining.”

In 1934, K-State won its first (and until 2003, only) conference title, beating KU 13-0 along the way, in a game so ugly that head coach Pappy Waldorf said afterwards that “this was the only game eight fumbles couldn’t lose.” #SunflowerShowdown

In 1969, the #SunflowerShowdown got a new trophy, the Governor’s Cup, which KU and K-State still play for to this day. The Wildcats also inaugurated their current stadium that year and beat KU 26-22.

To commemorate the 110th consecutive edition of the #SunflowerShowdown in 2020, Derek wrote a longform piece on the rivalry for @botc.bsky.social.

“The ethics of an itinerant ‘horse’ trader” — A history of the Kansas State-Kansas rivalry

For 118 years, bad blood, bad football and broken rules have dominated the rivalry between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats. Most of the history is forgotten — maybe for good reason. ...

You can blame @mattbrown.bsky.social for this one. (Or Tim Derdenger, but he doesn't appear to be on BlueSky.)

The conventional wisdom about what the portal and NIL would do was wrong from the start. A study now backs it up, which gives Jon a reason to opine at length.

(Go read Extra Points, too.)

Back when this all started, Jon argued against the conventional wisdom. He was right.

36-yarder from Rodriguez, after which TCU wasted a lot of time before chucking a whatever 37-yard TD pass to McAlister.
