University of Maryland OTR: Top Five Reasons I Hate Kansas

Top Five Reasons I Hate Kansas

Category: Sports Tags: kuck, fansas, is, right

The big game is about to start, so I figured now's a good a time as any to list the top five reasons to hate Kansas. Without further ado...

5) Rock Chalk Jayhawk?
Huh? You're supposedly a top athletic school and you can't even have a slogan that makes sense? Rock Chalk Jayhawk? What does that even mean? How many questions can I ask in a row? Seriously, though, get a catchphrase that makes sense and then we'll talk.

4) They screw up my bracket every year.
Every year you think Kansas is going to be great, they get upset early. Year after year, I watched Kansas destroy my bracket by losing to schools like Bucknell. So this year, what do I do? Pick Kansas to get upset early. And how do they repay me? By making it all the way to the championship game. Thanks Kansas. This hatred can go both ways, though.

3) Their fans are so sure of themselves.
As mentioned earlier, for a team that loses to small schools every year in March, their fans sure are arrogant. Do they not remember that every year before this one Kansas has underachieved? Talk about annoying.

2) The school is based in Kansas.
Chalk up my hatred to the fact that I'm from Missouri all you want, but I'm pretty sure every level headed American hates Kansas. Seriously, what is there to do in this state? I've thought about this for weeks and can't come up with anything. I challenge any reader to comment on one interesting thing to do in Kansas. Just one!

1) Seriously, the school is based in Kansas.
Why do you think they're so good at basketball? They have nothing else to do!

I love when people make bad remarks about another state, yet they have never been there before...I mean you can hate on Kansas all you want because they are the top dogs and usually the bottom dwellers like yourself hate on them anyways. Kansas has plenty for you to do, like stated before the campus life there is great, Kansas City is less than a half hour away and there is a whole mess of things there. So until you've actually experienced it, don't hate on the location just hate on them because they are better than you and the whole state of Maryland. Posted 04/09/2008 10:28 AMReply

You're right, there's nothing to do in Kansas. In Missouri, on the other hand, you can make/buy meth, peruse an unlimited selection of interstate porn shops, buy some fireworks and continue to contribute to the state's number one export: idiots. I will admit that you're one up on the rest of the state though, as you can read and write. Posted 04/09/2008 11:07 AMReply

"Kansas, the land of ahs." Yes, that was the state slogan at one time. Witchita had a grusome serial killer. Hutchinson has some left over space gear. Levenworth has an infamous prison. Manhattan has... big grain elevators. Then there's Kansas City - strip steaks, barbeque, cold beer, big river, and pretty women. Or, do you aver that all of that's only on the Missouri side?

Both the Royals and Chiefs are in Missouri not Kansas, not to mention the St. Louis teams that are also in Missouri.

First off, the rock chalk jayhawk chant does make sense and has a rich history behind it...do some research. Oh, and you hate Kansas because its a boring state. That's fine, at least we don't have rediculous amounts of crime like Maryland and no one is inviting you to come here. And if you think KU's screwed up your bracket just imagine the number of fans here that have had their bracket and hearts broken over the years. The fact is, Kansas has classy, loyal, smart fans. And yes, we are sure of ourselves. WE KANSAS MUTHA****A! Posted 04/09/2008 12:07 PMReply

Responses to your stupid reasons, in order:
5) So you're ignorant. Big deal. Two clicks and you could find out. You probably think "Fear the Turtle" is cool; This would be the turtle who's mascot pissed on Allen Fieldhouse a couple of years ago and the Maryland fans thought it was "funny", not disrespectful and criminal; Damned glad we can set your teeth on edge;
4) Bwahahaha! I bet THIS year your bracket is TOAST. I bet you had UNC for the semifinal and Memphis to win it. Good. You deserve to LOSE;
3) Uhhh...we were the "Jay-Chokes" a few seasons back thanks to getting to the Big Dance, that typically DOESN'T feature some OTHER Tigers by the way, and losing to Bradley and to Bucknell. Hell, you probably called us, too, given that you're from That Place That Shall Not Be Named; Bet you thought we were gonna lose on Monday until about 3 seconds before overtime. So, no, we're not smug. But if you FEEL like we are, so much the better. Anything to piss you off. Besides, it was "Hansbrough this", "Rose that", and "blah blah blah Kevin Love" going into the Final Four. Bob Knight got it right when he shut Dick Vitale up (no easy feat) and said "Last time I checked, this was a TEAM game". Beating two jet-fueled offenses to win it all? Goddamn right we're smug, and right now we got a GOOD reason to be. What did Maryland or the "other" Tigers do this year?
2) Oh...you're from Fizzou-land. No wonder. Not much good came outta there, 'cept I-70. The kitties sucked 'cept in football, and had to deal with their players being thugs and hauled into court or put on probation. Even your little T-shirt is a rip-off of Kansas' original "Muck Fizzou" shirt. Bwaahahah. You're not even original!;
1) Again, you're ignorant; but, now that we know where ya hail from, it's understandable. Oh so glad we can piss ya off, man. Next year we're gonna kick yer furry Fizzou butt in football, too. Or, if you prefer, maybe we'll get lucky and have a non-conference game with the "fearsome" turtles at a neutral court...if it doesn't hurt our RPI too much;
0) Bwaahahahaha. National Champs in the ONLY final four to feature ALL #1 seeds, crushing the #1 ranked team to get to the final, and beating the favored team in overtime; #1 in Hoops ('jess hoopin', Mr. Rose); Top-10 in football too, baybee! Ain't nothin' you can say to ruin this. Come to Allen Fieldhouse with your little yellow shirt and hate the smugness; we'll welcome you with open arms. Kansans are pretty hospitable, and your team needs the support. Posted 04/09/2008 12:48 PMReply

What the hell happened to UMD? You guys used to be really good at basketball- now you're a pathetic joke. Did Gary Williams just get lucky one year?

What the hell happened to Mizzou? You guys used to be merely a pathetic joke in basketball- now you're just depressing to even think about. Was Quinn really that much better than Anderson? Posted 04/09/2008 1:25 PMReply

I can't blame this guy for hating Kansas. Mizzou athletics is an absolute joke. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A FINAL FOUR AND THEY WANT TO TALK HOOPS?! Laughable. Make the Big Dance, then get back to me. Kansas invented basketball, you're still learning how to play.

As for Maryland, they were consistent underachievers, Williams FINALLY broke through and won a title, then what? They've been passed by VA Tech, Clemson, Boston College, etc. Apparently the recruitable talent in the DC/Baltimore dried up. Please respond with your explantation/excuse.

Alright, bud I'll give you a little history lesson along with a geographical and cultural lesson too.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk? I must get this question about 40 times a month and I just don't understand how sports fanatics all across the world don't know what this means. Well, here you are: In 1866, the University Science Club made it up, E.H.S Bailey was coming back to Lawrence from Wichita on a train and the sound of the train made a rhythm so they developed "Rah, rah, Jayhawk, KU!" Years later an English teacher replaced rah, rah with "Rock Chalk" because it rhymed with Jayhawk and since KU is built on a mountain (Mt. Oread) that had traces of limestone aka rock chalk, it worked. Teddy Roosevelt named it the greatest chant he's ever heard.
ALSO, do you know you wouldn't even know what basketball was if it wasn't for James Naismith, a man who invented the game and coached here for many years? Didn't you see all the connections KU had with each of the final four teams this year? We were destined to win. Our fans are not cocky and you can ask any journalist who's ever been in Allen Fieldhouse..look them up online. You OBVIOUSLY have enough time on your hands to write five reasons you hate Kansas. We stick by our team and strongly believe in them. Last time I checked that was called being a LOYAL fan.
What is there to do in Kansas? Well, we have the Plaza, full of nice shops and restaurants, the Legends, which is also very nice and one of the prettiest college campuses: KU. I'm guessing you probably don't even go to Mizzou, since most people I know that are Mizzou fans seem to support a school they don't go to (trust me, I know..I'm from Missouri and know a lot of people that go to Mizzou). Have you seen the campus? It's so spread out and doesn't feel like a campus at all. Also, we have Worlds of Fun themed park, downtown Lawrence is AMAZING and the music scene, like the Granada has hosted to some of the best musicians, like Ben Folds.
Also, don't blame us for you not doing well on your bracket!!! Are you telling me that your entire west was perfect, because mine sure as HELL was messed up with all the upsets there.
I'm so glad that I heard Mizzou fans were in bars in Columbia cheering on Memphis during the game. Gosh, that's so great because it makes me realize how STUPID Mizzou fans are aka they don't even cheer for the big 12 OR how my friend A.J. (from Mizzou put it) the "big ten" bahahahaha you're idiocracy cracks me up! Good bye! KU IS THE BEST! ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK! GO KU! Posted 04/10/2008 10:05 AMReply

Oh and if Roy Williams can come out and wear a Jayhawk sticker during the championship game, I think Mizzou fans can show some class and cheer on the big twelve. Last time I checked we're helping you out by giving the conference even more money. Oh, but of course you guys don't care. It's nothing new; we seem to always be helping Mizzou out this year aka WINNING THE BCS ORANGE BOWL for the big 12. Posted 04/10/2008 10:08 AMReply

Congratulations to KS for winning it all and to Bill Self for his marvelous coaching job. Now in the dept. of Dial 1-800-Get-A Life, can all the good folks at KU and in the rest of your great state now stop your ridiculous whining over Roy Williams? You've been making yourselves look bad. I don't like UNC and am not particularly a fan of Ol' Roy himself but as John Feinstein so sagely wrote, all Williams gave the people in the great state of Kansas was 15 good years and all he was owed was the chance to move on. To quote the last sentence of his column: "Sometimes in life when you make a difficult decsion you don't have to apologize for it".
You've got a great program and a great coach, be happy. Posted 04/10/2008 10:14 AMReply

It's the same reason it doesn't bother me that trailer trash hate those of us that are educated and make a living. We have what you want, and you know you will never have it. And why will you never have it? Because they most important thing on Mizzou's campus is getting drunk. You get drunk when you win, you get drunk when you lose. KU fans couldn't care less about MU fans. You're crybaby, drunk, trash. Posted 04/10/2008 9:50 PMReply

Wow, what a douche bag. Nothing to do in Kansas? What the hell do you do in Missouri? You do know they are neighboring states, right? You guys don't have any area in that ridicoulous state that even compares to Johnson County. And, anyone who has been to Lawrence and Columbia know that Lawrence is 10x the town. Columbia is a dump.

Only mizzou fans make up web pages like this. Cause they are so damn jealous of KU. We have 3 national titles, you guys have zero final fours. Or, Big 12 titles. Or, good basketball players. You guys have the year of you're life in football and KU still outshines you by winning the Orange Bowl. HAHA.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk is the most known slogan in all of college athletics. Nice mascot Mizzou. Tigers? Gees, 500,000 schools across the nation don't already have that unique mascot. Losers.

Missouri is a dump. Missouri fans are losers and would DIE to have half the success of KU.

Your A@* get handed to you year in and year out in all other sports by MU. And the 'Rock Chaulk Jayhawk' thing is incredibly anoying and doesn't have a thing to do with your sports teams. It has to do with a building that was built on campus in the early years that had white dust on it. How amazingly stupid to make a chant out of that! Posted 07/21/2008 12:58 PMReply

You also keep talking about our meth labs...well I'm sorry that people from Missouri are obviously skilled in chemistry since you don't believe in the physical sciences.
