Kansas State blog Bring On the Cats has a pretty dead-on primer for the Big 12 basketball tournaments (women's games start today, if you didn't know). Of course, it's from a K-State slant, so the rest of the conference sucks (and it's kinda sweet that the site's poll is predicting a Wildcat tourney win). But as someone who can remember going to tournament games at Kemper when the league was Texas-free, I can vouch for most of this.

Regardless, they usually come down in sizable numbers and leave early because they don't want to be reminded about how far they've fallen as a program, and the fact that they hired the guy from "Thank You For Smoking" as their basketball coach."Yes, Ames is in the continental U.S., but we're quite happy with Aaron Eckhart's first year as coach. A good list. Read the rest of the list here.

And just twice more since then. I guess you have to make jokes when your basketball program is one.
Didn't mean to like that last post. Graduated in four years. Watched the men's basketball team lose to the Purple People just once in that time.
What year did you drop out? What year did you finish your degree at Emporia/Pittsburg State?
