I have great respect for K-State fans because they did not rush the court when they beat Texas at home earlier this year. (Texas was undefeated and ranked #1 in the nation at this point.) Oklahoma State fans need to read this article though, they have stormed the court twice in the past three years against Kansas; I know you guys rarely ever beat anyone worth talking about, but come on show some class when you do. There are very few circumstances where you should storm the court. Show some class people.

No I used Big 12 examples because those are the games I watch the most, but it is something that bothers me in every game I dont care who you are. There are acceptable times to storm a court, but those are rare. Storming the court - or field for that matter - has become too common in the sports world today. It needs to stop, come on people show some class.

Or to use a fresh example, Maryland today storms the court, what a classless thing to do. Good job you won, give applause to your team hang around your seat and eventually go home. Bad way to end an otherwise great game.

I thought when I saw the headline that Amendial had seen the article proving that the Big12 referees are being told to make sure KU wins its games this year! http://missouri.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1057843 grin


(OK, so thats not really proof that the Big12 is telling the refs what to do, but it sure does raise some very, very interesting points about how well KU gets along with the refs)


But since this post is about storming the court, I agree with it. Last year when Mizzou beat KU on a very improbably comeback the students were waved onto the floor after the game by the players, but prior to that, I am not really sure when the last time students were on the court after a game.

KU just drives the ball alot and when you have a player like Cole Aldrich you are bound to get several fouls your way per game. It is not the KU foul statistic that scares me, because that is almost consistant both ways (home and away). Its the disparity in the fouls home and away of the other teams. It is that way in every conference though, home teams usually get the calls. The NCAA tournament should be interesting, we will see who had help from the refs with calls and who earned their calls. Also, anything taken from a Mizzou fan site holds little weight with me, Mizzou has a baised (and wrong!) opinion about KU. We are better than you, always have been, always will be; deal with it!

seriously, were you able to keep a straight face typing that? that is probably the most delusional thing you have posted here and you have posted some seriously funny stuffs before!

If you read the article, you would have noticed that it takes the stats from all 7 Big 12 teams that will probably make the tournament and in every case there was a huge discrepancy in fouls when those teams went on the road. Saying KU drives the ball a lot does not explain anything the article says. That would be claiming that KU is the ONLY team in the Big 12 that plays the same offense at home as on the road and you think that the other 6 teams in the study have a 'home' and 'road' offense? Hell, most teams cant even run one offense well, much less memorize two! happy

While the article could have claimed that there was a conspiracy among Big 12 refs to keep KU atop the standings and make the conference look better, it does not. Yes, it came from an MU beat writer, but it by no means makes any anti KU claims - I drew those conclusions all on my own! Mostly cause I dislike KU and think that referees at all levels are influenced by their respective leagues.


If you didn't like that post, I will get you something else here in a bit that will make you pull your hair out! Gimme a bit to find it! happy

On an honest level I liked the article, because it does expose a flaw in the Big 12 refs. There is not reason that Ku is the only team that is getting consistant calls. That should be true for atleast 5 of the 7 if not all of the 7. I was just giving you crap back for the KU hatred. I should take it easy on you though, the Jayhawks are going to give you enough trouble tomorrow. 15-1! Muck Fizzou, Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU!

It wasn't a KU post. It is a post talking about teams storming the Court. Maryland against Duke for example. Juzam is the one who turned it into a KU post. Maybe he is a closet KU fan?
