    I'm sick and tired of the folks in here who pull out the "gotchas" when a DB pops up. So freakin' what? There are folks, like me, who don't camp out on this site 15 hours a day, and sometimes we will log in and not immediately see a certain thread subject and start one of our own with honorable intent.

    To those of you just sitting there waiting to jump all over someone who unwittingly DB's, chill out. Get a life.

    Hey hey hey. As one of those psychotic K-State fans, I have nothing...and I do mean NOTHING, on the fucking psychotic freaks that surround me now that I live in Kentucky. We are very, very mild compared to these fuckers, who would DIE if they don't get their daily dose of John Calipari's tweets.

    I know Ron Prince isn't there anymore, so K-State fans need to be reminded ...

    Maybe so, but some folks here aren't getting the message. Obviously. Just like children, they need to be told agian and again.

    Keep up? Sorry, I"m not in here 8-10 hours a day keeping track of every little thing like some seem to be doing.

    K-State fans are probably the most sensitive in the Big 12. They also read EVERYTHING, which is good for newspapers, except that they're mainly reading so they can find something to get offended by.

    That said, I think they have a legitimate reason to be upset about this. I think they've overreacted, but I think some outrage is justified. They're fans, after all, and his blog was not written from a professional point of view, which is understandable, considering he wasn't even living in Kansas at the time.

    But I agree that if he writes good stories, it ain't gonna matter.
