I think the thread is missing the issue that K-State views itself as a real rival of Nebraska. They also have a big inferiority complex thing going. Add into it that your team was the one that pulled the trigger to end the Big 12 and leave all your old Big 8 buddies (not going to argue why, been there, done that). K-State and Iowa State really did not have anywhere to land, so add that to all the other issues, and they are not gonna be real happy. There program stood on the brink of a huge conference downgrade and at the end of the day, guys in red with N shirts were the ones who took the definitive action to make that happen(I know, UT, blah blah...but UT still in the Big 12 and that saved K-State). You add all that up, they are an unhappy lot. I don't think you have it like that in Lawrence, for a lot of reasons, but even there you will find some indiviuals who were taken aback by the events of the summer. With K-State, and when you look at all the reasons they are what they are, this is not a surprise at all.
