Here's a story. True story.

I'm former US Army Infantry (did my 3 years with A Co 2-16/1-41 Infantry in Fort Riley, KS). They call Fort Riley the "Home of America's Army."

I call it the Armpit of America's Army. Not because I hated my time in the Army, oh, no. I loved my 3 years. I saw the world, made a little money (very little), blew up a crapload of stuff, and met some lifelong friends. Why do I call it that, you ask?

Because - it's in Kansas. Not just in any PART of Kansas, mind you.

It's close to Manhattan, Kansas.

They call it 'Aggieville.' I never understood that, because there's no freaking AGGIES there.
They call it 'The Little Apple.' If that's the case, that sucker is the wormiest apple ever, with mold and spots. Covered in Fruit flies.

If you could take a city sized knife, and cut a piece of the country out, I'd cut out Junction City, Ogden and Manhattan. Throw those somonabitches in the North Atlantic Sea. With a giant sized concrete stone so they sink to the bottom and stay there. You can keep Fort Riley there - but it's gonna need some renovations.

Where does this animosity come from? I was born a Husker. Raised a Husker. Now, before you say that this is some 'superiority' complex from a Husker fan, let me digress for a moment. I said Manhattan, JC, and Ogden. The rest of the state is OKAY. I have respect for Kansas Jayhawk fans. They treated me with nothing but respect. But those bastages in Manhattan?!? Ugh.

Yes, this is a long post. But you guys asked, LOL

In the 2nd year I was in, I got a new company commander. His name was Captain Martin J. Dannett. And he was born, raised, and went to school...in Manhattan.....Kansas.

This guy had a knack of speaking in the third person. ALL THE TIME.

"Dannett needs to go to the restroom."
"Dannett's troops are high speed."

So, prior to football season in the 1996 - 97 year (championship year), we had a company inspection. Par for the course when you get a new commander. In my barracks room, I had a little taste of Lincoln. Posters, a couple of jerseys, that kind of stuff to remind me of my home state. So Dannett comes in. Doesn't even look at my gear, sees the poster. Here's how the conversation went (no lie):

"Oh boy. Who's the Husker fan in Dannett's company?"
"That would be me sir. I'm from Omaha, sir."
"So, you're a Fusker fan, huh? Well do you know where Dannett is from, Private?"
"Negative, sir."
"Dannett is from Manhattan and went to Kansas State, the best school ever."
"Sounds nice sir. Permission to speak freely, sir?"
"Granted."
"With all due respect, sir, your company is high speed, but your football team sucks ass."
"You and Dannett will talk later, Private."
"Yes sir."

He invited a group of us guys over in 96 to watch the game before we went on our tour in Bosnia. He had this big azzed bullmastiff named Sherman that he threatened to sic on me if Nebraska won (obviously jesting).

We won 39 - 3. I was talking so much shiat he actually spoke in first person and told me, "I think you should sit down before I get Sherman in here."

I don't like Texas, but I still respect them to some degree. If you think Wrath of Khan when Khan said, "From hell's heart, I stab at thee....for hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee..." You'll have my feelings on Manhattan.

He sounded like a nice guy in his video at least.

Palmer: "No matter what, tonight looks good on Kansas State, and on Auburn."

DA FUQ?

Kitties shouldn't be ranked after this loss. So Sparty losing to Oregon, and tOSU losing to Va Tech is worse than losing to Auburn?!?
