This has been floating around in emails the past few weeks, so I assume most of you have seen it, but if not, here it is. It is worth the read. Here is the original blog post from Bring On The Cats. H/T to our readers below (jc25 and dimecoverage) for finding the link.
*******************
Counselor: Okay, everyone, sit down. We’re going to start our first
therapy session. Who would like to share first?Kansas State: Uh, I guess that I’ll go first. Well, our defense…
Counselor: Before you go on, make sure you tell everyone your name and
why you’re here.KS: Oh, I’m sorry. My name is Kansas State, and I don’t have a defense.
Everyone: (In unison…) Hi, Kansas State.
KS: (Scratches behind head…) Yeah, anyway, I don’t know exactly what
happened, but my defense just packed up and left over a year ago. I
can’t figure out what I did wrong; just, one day, without any warning,
I showed up to the stadium and there it was, a “Dear John” letter,
saying that things weren’t working out and it was leaving.Counselor: Kansas State, how did that make you feel?
KS: Well, it made me feel vulnerable. Timid. Scared, and not smart.
To read the rest, head over to Bring On The Cats.

No Kalin Lucas?
No problem.
“Too Easy” has had his share of leg and ankle problems this season, and with two minutes left in the Spartans’ second round matchup with Greivis Vasquez and the Maryland Terrapins, he made an early exit.
State’s 5′11″ point-man Korie Lucious may have a little something to

This really has been a great start. It’s pretty exciting to see dark horse teams winning by playing solid basketball rather than just shooting the lights out. 4 year players are so key.

Cornell is playing phenomenally well. I’d be surprised if Wiscy doesn’t cut into the lead in the 2nd half.
Jay Bilas may end up looking like a genius.

I really like Cal today.
ATM and Cornell look too good to be true and the public is all over both of them.
I gotta believe that Izzo beats Maryland today, I haven’t been impressed with the Terps this year. I am surprised that they are favored.

gotta,
I think your overall point is a good one. Barnes is a “system” guy especially defensively, which plays into how he overall plays the game. He wants to play a high pressure, overplay man2man scheme predicated on effort, good technique and overall quickness. Similar to Duke, but even Coach K (in fairness

What a glorious, glorious day of basketball at the Ford Center Saturday.
First, Ali Ali Farokhmanesh and all the other Panthers with cool names took down Kansas as Sherron Collins made his best effort to shed that “clutch” label on the last game of his collegiate career. Then of course, Kansas State waved goodbye to Jimmer

It is just amazing to me that most posters think that Jordan has improved so much in the last half of the season.
The one thing I will say is that Jordan has just started to show his ability with a basketball. The reason that he did not show his talents is up to all the -

Offense
Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

Funny how you neglected to point out that we have scoreboard on you (for 2 years running lest you think it was a one year aberration). Stuff that in your burnt orange stained Depends.

Um, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think anyone here wrote that.
And yes, we’re all aware we somehow lost to your shitty team two straight years. It’s a constant source of embarrassment that thankfully will correct itself in about a month. However for now, we’ll have to be content with shooting for our second national championship in four years.

Hey, its all they have to hang they’re hat on this year…and last year…and the year before that. Let them have their fun as we take an unblemished record to Kansas City this year while they begin preparing for a new head coach.

OK my bad.The e-mail was not attributed to a K-State source and I’ve come to expect a little higher level of humor here than the garden variety sheep fucker references. (I don’t expect the “streak” to continue. I also am not prepared to state we need a new coach,AD,or mascot.)

October 27th, 2008 at 7:21 am
What will Aggies have to point to when that two year streak (it’s more like an accidental shart – when you press too hard shit happens) comes to an abrupt end?
I’m truly worried about another Jonestown or Waco in College Station as the looming reality of bowl ineligibilty kicks in.
Without “scoreboard” it’s a bleak landscape these days in BCS. Ironic acronym for that locale wouldn’t you say?

Man, if any article here makes even the slightest mention of A&M, the Comments section devolves into a steady stream of shit-talk.
That said, I actually thought alot of that was pretty funny. Good idea, good execution.
