Bandwagon grows with Shocker Success
Kansas Sports
It's not that you can really blame WSU (Wichita State University) fans for it...they haven't been ranked in any NCAA polls for basketball since 1983. On the 20th of November, after a big win over George Mason, WSU hit the AP Poll at #24. That turned a lot of heads....and sporting good stores across the city rejoiced!
While the AP poll wasn't really the start of the BWS (Band Wagon Syndrome) over Wichita State, it certainly didn't hurt. More and more bumper stickers, key chains, shirts, jumpers, jackets, flags...and on and on are showing up all over Wichita seemingly proportionate to the dropping number on the AP Poll.
It is, however, great for both the school and the sense of community in the Wichita area. It's been a long time since anyone has had anything local to really cheer about and seeing one's team in the National Spotlight is definitely exciting.
With WSU at No. 17 in the AP and No. 22 in the Coaches poll now, it will be interesting to see just how many new WSU fans we have running around this week in Wichita.

KState Fans Go Nuts After Victory Over UT
Kansas Spotlight, Kansas Sports
Well, they tried...obviously they tried...to take the goal posts down, but Kansas State University must have finally invested in super strong, fan-resistant uprights because, as you can see here, they ain't coming down.
With a huge upset victory over The University of Texas last saturday (November, 11th, 2006), Kansas State fans poured onto the field overwhelming security and making it extremely difficult for players, officials and other staff to even get off the field and back into the locker rooms.
With so many excited and elated KSU fans out there, is it any wonder that:
Now, as part of an exclusive KSU offer, you too can relive the moments of triump, the dashing foot work, the supreme air-game of the KSU victory over UT in this limited edition, collectors edition DVD!! Puke...It never ceases to amaze me how people will use any opportunity they can to make a quick buck off of the emotions of others.
Joy.
