Very interesting. And exactly as I suspected. Thanks for the post Pile. Just a couple of anecdotes. I live in KC, and went to the game Saturday. So unfortunately Ive witnessed multiple acts of dumbassery since the game. 1) The MU fans. I was taunted and screamed at in my face to the point I got spit on. That was what drew the line for me. I had to shove one to get my point across that I wasnt taking his sh#t, and then a group of them proceeded to surround me and starting knocking me around. Had I not been with 2 girls I wouldve started swinging from my heels, but had I not been with 2 girls I also probably wouldve got banged up quite a bit. So I can certainly identify with Kellen’s situation. I wasnt in his shoes, but know he wouldnt have singled a guy out just to get out some anger. If that were the case he wouldve cracked the 1st guy he saw. This jackass followed them to the tunnel and would not leave. Another point. Take another look at the video clip in the link I posted above. And this time pay attention to the people around this guy after he gets hit . These are most likely some other jackasses that were taunting and threatening the players with him. Check out their reaction. They all just take off, even as this guy is laid out. It’s as if they know THEY were out of line, and they are hoping a cop didnt see them. If these idiots were innocent victims, they wouldve freaked out when this psycho jarhead jacks their buddy for "no reason", not to mention stop to see if he was alright. And no, they werent scared that Kellen was coming after them, it was clear that he was continuing on his way, and was just trying to get the guy out of his face. These idiots were worried about getting in trouble. 2) I also witnessed the baffoonery propagated by the KC media. The ABC affiliate down here ran this promo for their pathetic newscast about 6 times during Mon night fball, and their commentary was "Innocent MU fan is cheap-shotted and knocked out cold allegedly by a Nebraska football player". I dont give a sh#t if they dropped the "allegedly" in there or not. This was irresponsible. They knew damn well that this wasn't a "cheap shot" by watching the video. They werent taking a 3rd person's account of the events, which is what normally predicates the term "allegedly". A cheap shot is taking the initiative and hitting someone when they arent looking, and isnt precipitated. Kellen was "reacting", not acting. KC in general is very jealous of Nebraska and all of our success. Between KU, Kstate, and MU all within 2 hrs, it is a nexus for husker hating. Being huge sports fans, they envy our athletic dominance especially football, b/c this is definitely football land not basketball, I dont care about KU. And none of their 3 schools have come close to matching us in 1 sport, let alone all around. All Ive learned is to continue exhibiting the class of champions that we are renowned for, and continue to act like we've been there before. Which none of the classless fans around here can say.

Here is a link to the video clip: http://www.wftv.com/sports/2552858/detail.html Makes us look VERY bad. Totally looks like Huston is the aggressor, but its hard to tell what the kid did before the punch.

Just wanted to mention that I have not seen the video, so I cant say for sure. I do know that this should not have resulted in violence, no matter what the kid said or did. Unless Huston felt the kid was going to attack him - which is unlikely I know, but he possibly just reacted naturally and flippantly. But if he reached back and dropped a haymaker on him, I agree this was unwarranted. Either way you are right, very bad PR.

The kids lucky he only ended up with a busted nose. These fans are complete aholes, and I cant imagine that one of our players would jeopardize his career and the programs integrity unless he had no option.

He's typically not the best interview, and usually sticks to his conservative demeanor, but will be interesting nonetheless. Rome said he would be on air b/t 1-2. Check out Rome's site to find your local station. I listen online for free from a station that I think is in san diego. You just have to dload a small app to run the streaming live audio, but its worth it considering the price of free. Rome Live online - FREE Bshirt

Thanks for the clarification Wildcat. Too much red beer I guess. And after hearing your dillusions of a kstate game in December I have to assume youve had too many purple pills tonight. So how the hell did he heal so quick anyway? Were the initial reports exagerrations choreographed by Snyder or what? bshirt

Check these out guys. One proclaims a KSU team of the recent past as the 5th worst team in NCAA History.. The other has Kstate in the bottom five for worst athletic teams of the week. Tradition speaks for itself. So why do Kstate fans continue to run their traps??!! Oh, now I get it, to compensate for the lack of tradition ....all making sense now. http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/readers/wo...tCollegefb.html http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/powerranking...week=4&pollId=3 bshirt

More good times produced, directed and starred in by the KSU wildchokers themselves. thanks Manhattan!!! and keep on sucking.. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/powerranking...week=4&pollId=3

This was posted on ESPN's page 2, as they have dubbed KState as owning the 5th worst team overall in NCAA History. Also a related discussion with a link to the original article is in Eric the Red's forum: http://www.huskerboard.com/forums/index.ph...hp?showtopic=35 Bshirt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Kansas State, 1984-91 (50 letters) The "Mildcats" of Kansas State have to warrant a position in the Top 10. Pick any time frame prior to the Bill Snyder era ('92 or so), and you've a fully qualified candidate for the worst teams ever. The list of "accomplishments" is long, but just consider the loss of 28 straight games, only one bowl appearance in over 90 years (a loss to Wisconsin 14-3 in the 1982 Independence Bowl), a PUNTER in their "Ring of Honor" and the fact that they spawned the "Gramatica-nation." This certainly warrants a Top 10 rating any way you slice it. Matt Akromis Omaha I can't believe you left out the mid-late '80s Kansas State team. The team Sports Illustrated dubbed "Futility U." Five winning seasons in 54 years. From '84 to '88, they went a combined 4-40-1 ... and were lucky to win those four. They had two very lengthy losing streaks, broken up only by perhaps the most infamous college football game in history -- November 7, 1987 -- a 17-17 tie against equally inept Kansas, known forever to my fellow Kansans as "The Toilet Bowl." What makes the turnaround at K-State so incredible, and so under-reported, is people forgetting how terrible the Wildcats really were. Shame on you for perpetuating that.

Can you guys believe this idiot Rix? First the dumass sleeps through the most important game of his life - when he was suspended last year for missing a final b/c he "overslept". Now the jackass is busted for using a handi-cap parking pass illegally!!! What a friggin ahole!! And perhaps the biggest idiot on campus today. Youve got disabled people crawling across campus b/c this ubber-athletically gifted jerkoff thinks he deserves to get the "good" spot. This guy has absolutely no concept of reality, and deserves to be tossed in the slam, and then tossed in the slam over and over again. But even if that occured we all know he wouldnt get kicked off Warden Bowdens all inmate team. What a bunchof f'in aholes. just had to get that off my chest Bshirt

This is an interesting article basically chastising Mack Brown as the new Austin albatross, sans the slam-man Chrissy Simms... http://www.foxsports.com/content/view?cont...ntentId=1667742

Good points. I like the vision of the Frazier replication, but just dont think we have the O-Line to pull it off. They are improved, but not the same caliber as the 'Pipeline' that went an entire season without a friggin sack!! That is still one of the most amazing accomplishments in CF history. Cant remember which season, wasnt it '95?? Nonetheless, I know it was with Frazier, so much of his cred should go to the Big Boys up front. If Lord can NOT F-up ala the OSU QB from last year, we may have a shot at the Big 12 North. He just doesnt have the gamesmanship however to win the conference, or a Natty title. But overall I am chillin!! B) GBR B-shirt

Saw this quote on ESPN. Pretty interesting. Maybe even some truth to it.. "Jammal Lord has the potential to be a terrific safety, maybe a good linebacker or even a decent running back. He also has the potential, as a quarterback, to get his coach fired." - Al Carter, The Dallas Morning News
