Did Someone Say April Fools?

PrintYes slam called it early. For those who bought in, those whose blood boiled over at the amount of Mizzou love on the site today...Always remember that the first day of April is not a good day to dive in head first with your emotions.
No Rock Chalk Talk has not become a bunch of MU sympathizers. Rock Chalk Talk has not gone Jason Whitlock. KC is not enrolling in the journalism school at MU and Warden and myself are still 100% behind Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks.
Today was about a little bit of fun. Rock M Nation and Rock Chalk Talk decided to take a series of posts and ruffle the collective feathers of the Jayhawk and Tiger nations. The beginning was subtle, gradually building to what should have been a most unbelievable post by myself touting Jason Sutherland and Derek Grimm.
On the Rock M Nation side of things, there links included and homage to Cole, followed by a push for the flexbone in football and as part of their new player hall of fame series known as "The Rafters" an induction of our very own Cole Aldrich. The last post for Jayhawk fans is probably very true. Why Quin is better than Norm.
Alas sleep easy my friends. We're still Jayhawks. And no matter how much I respect the guys over at Rock M and Mike Anderson, you won't see me clamoring for that change to be made again. One question though, do I have to add KC back in?

Hahaha so here is my favorite parts of today's transgressions
1) KC’s emo statuses on facebook about how hes been drinking and sad the past three days.
2) When the toughness thing was posted I knew it was a joke after about 5 minutes of letting it sink in. But I decided to post a real “dick” comment about how tough we were and yell at you anyways (you can hopefully tell in my reply I’m unusually hostile) and someone thought I was dead serious and rec’d it. Made me day.
Well done gentlemen. Well done.
Shit happens when you win championships
now you're sticking around I assume?
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
OMGZ you thought I was serious about leaving?
APRIL FOOOOOOOLZZZZZZZ lolololoooowhatever.
Seriously though, I thought this stuff was pretty funny. Well done.
No thats my point
I started typing my thinking it was serious and was like come on guys (thats why the beginning is like “then how come we beat them”
and then after a few minutes I was like “oh shit this is a joke” so I started yelling in CAPS and etc and posted it all together
Shit happens when you win championships
I did like your response the most...
glad you played along. Mine was certainly meant to be so over the top that it couldn’t possibly be believable but you never know.
Over at Rock M Nation they did a whole post about how MU should move to the flexbone offensively. The thinking was that it was so far from what they do that it would cause a small uproar. It had the opposite affect, everyone was in agreement and all for it…the spreadbone!
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
Dude the spreadbone sounds like an awesome idea
Kinda like West Virginia’s offense under Richard Rodriguez, spread em out then pound the rock
Shit happens when you win championships
Yeah I was all hot and bothered
And was like F you Denver whats wrong whichyous, then I was like wait a minute…what is today’s date…touche sir. touche.
Shit happens when you win championships
That may be the best thing to come out of today
The genesis of the Spreadbone!
Great job today gents…glad I could play a small part and entertain some of your faithful readers :-)

What made your prank so convincing Denverjhawk
was all the prep-work you’ve been doing saying how great K-State is and being so supportive of them over on Bring on the Cats.
THAT WAS PREP WORK FOR THE PRANK, RIGHT?
Well, that part is true.
KC’s emo statuses on facebook about how hes been drinking and sad the past three days.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
I'll fess up on the Rec :)
I suspected something off all day long, and just felt your OMGZZZ confirmed my suspicion. So you got Recd for that alone!

me bringing Mike Anderson into my post without reason or any real support should have been a really big hint.

nice series of posts today
It successfully distracted me for studying for the CPA exam all morning

Take it from this CPA
Git your ass back to studying. No breaks. No distractions. Pass the damn thing in one sitting and then when it’s behind you……you can start partying like a rock star and wasting time, er, contributing on this site like I do.
There simply is no substitute for experience.
Best part was the
mini lovers quarrel that went on in KC’s post between the Rock M Nation guys. One was all pissed because KC was an editor and he was still an author and was talking shit on the site runners. Me and Warden were just sitting in there entertained by it all. Good acting jobs guys!

Denver's piece was outstanding...we'd talked a little bit about the ideas
and he nailed his especially following KC’s “resignation letter”.

Now I'm really disappointed.
Inflicting KC upon MU would have been the best attack on the state of Missouri since John Brown was in his heyday.
Is there still a chance it could happen?

FINALLY
someone said it! I’ve been waiting all day!
I officially nominate this comment for the RCT Hall of Fame.

I feel like this was ruined
because I called it so early on. Sadface.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
You calling it that early did make me laugh.
“internet Christmas” was funny.
