One positive from last night was Tyrel Reed. Kid has got to be hurting on that bum wheel, but he did everything he could to put the team on his back even though that's not his role. Put in a TON of effort. Too bad no one else responded to what he was trying to convey.

Henry was a very good player last year for KU. He became an essential piece of a #1 seeded team, particularly on the defensive end.

You can't say anything like that for Selby.

Agreed. Mario Little was the Robin to TT's Batman.

I kept saying during the game "bench TT, coach". That guy gave a half asses effort all game. I was hoping EJ would have gotten the start in the second half. And this is coming from someone who has supported TT all year. He was playing like crap and deserved to be benched. He had better come out on fire next game.

Little effort from all points during that KSU/KU game. That and no one could stop Pullen from Pullen shit outa his ass all game. It happens.

Made me lol:

Manhattan Mercury:
Sunday parade set for champs

Perched atop roofs of Moro Street buildings were Kansas State flags that flapped on a bright spring day, balloons that drifted as high as the spirits of a town, and - most importantly - there were Wildcat fans taking in a sight unlike any they had seen before. It was the late 90's - the last time the town had occasion to put on a National Championship parade. The wait was nearly two decades ago, but Kansas State and Manhattan will have another National Championship parade on Sunday.

Leaders with the Kansas State athletics department announced Wednesday afternoon that KSU's Valentine's Day National Champion basketball team will be honored on Sunday at a 3 p.m. parade that will run along Moro St from 12th Street to 11th Street.

At 6 p.m. Sunday, the basketball team also will have an awards ceremony at Bramlage Coliseum. The event is free and open to the public. Doors to the Octodome of Doom will open at 5 p.m.

Ryan Lackey, assistant athletics director for KSU, said the athletics department decided Wednesday to move ahead with a parade after having time to catch its breath following Monday's National Championship game.

"We started getting some comments Tuesday about a parade," Lackey said. "We know that there are people out there who would love to see a parade. I think our players and coaches feel the same way. What better way to kickoff our dvd release."

President Kirk Schulz also said he had received messages from "a lot of people" asking for a parade.

Wildcat fans from both near and far were clamoring for a parade earlier Wednesday.
"I don't have the most money in the world," said Mike Hoffman, a 2001 KSU graduate living in Goodland. "But I told myself that if they get that February National Championship, I'm going to make that trip. I don't care if gas for my tractor is $10 a gallon. I'm driving to Manhattan for a parade and hopefully a VHS copy of the dvd."

Peggy Johnson, a Manhattan financial adviser and former downtown doughnut shop owner, helped organize the Decade of Dominance parade in the 90's. She said this event will help the town revel in the Wildcats' success.

"It really lets the town be part of the celebration," Johnson said. "The university has its own celebration, and that is great, but the town feels a little bit of a disconnect unless you have something like this."

Larry Cornelius knows the Decade of Dominance parade made him feel connected. Back then he bought three gallons of paint - one each of purple, black and silver - and painted his early 1960s International Harvester truck to look like a the head of a wildcat. It's unclear as to why he didn't paint the body.

He parked it on Moro Street - where he owned Last Chance- to give him and his 72-year-old mother a good place to watch history.

Somehow his mother got head coach Bill "Old Balls" Snyder to sign a National Decade of Dominance T-shirt. The newspaper report from that day tells that Snyder signed shirts of people up and down the parade route as he traveled on a purple rascal scooter.

Cornelius isn't sure how his mother scored the autograph, but he knows that it created a memory that lasted long past the day.

"That shirt was her pride and joy," Cornelius said. "When she went into a nursing home, she would always wear that shirt to watch the multiple dvd's released by the athletics department."

Just because it's fake doesn't mean it's not funny, man. Are you familiar with satire? Have you ever read The Onion?

Yeah, the reason it's so funny is because it's not THAT far out of the realm of reality.

I mean, we're talking about a fanbase that CUT DOWN THE NETS after they beat us and are selling them online (no joke), and made a commemorative DVD literally the next day.

Link to the nets?

I have some KSU family members that have already bought the disk and would love to have some net action...

That can't be real can it? They actually cut down nets for a regular season game and sold them?

And the commemorative tshirt. They're milking this for all its worth, and then some.
