Tremendous energy and intensity for 40 minutes. That’s the blueprint. Frank Martin said his Wildcats played as hard against Oklahoma, but shots just didn’t fall.
Not much to gripe about.
This post was intended to be brief, anyway. But I’ve stumbled into a pair of tickets and a parking pass for the remaining games at Bramlage – except for KU, of course – and I want to give them away to whoever is interested.
Free tickets, people. In this economy, that’s a heck of a deal.
But there’s a catch – I want to be entertained. Tell me why you deserve these tickets, or why I should give them to you, or what you’ll do with them once you have them, or anything that might make me chuckle. Use the section field below to respond, and also list which game you’re most interested in, followed by your second choice, etc.
Be creative.

You should give me tickets to a game because I’ve posted in the past, and have been an avid reader of your blog since its inception. If you give me the tickets to the Colorado or Nebraska game, I will author a post-game report for your blog featuring the SLTH nature of the head coach.
Jeff my good man, ‘member when I always e-mail you about stuff and you’re always, “(old man voice) relax” and I’m always, “PFFFTTT YOU RELAX!” and then it’s always “(both of us) LOLs”. That’s what I’m like at ACTUAL games. Everyone around me loves it (trust me). Also, I will bring mrs. dave and she shares her popcorn ($3 bag) with pretty much anyone who doesn’t have their own popcorn. These are just a couple reasons why I am the perfect recipient of the KU tickets as well as the CU tickets.
Your BFF,

I would like tickets to the Nebraska game on Feb. 28 (Colorado is second choice).
I was in high school during the 86-87 and 87-88 teams. So, when I was shooting around on the basketball court, it was in emulation of Richmond’s play.
“Richmond drives left, stops, jumper, score!”
He really was my sports idol growing up, and I would love to see his jersey retired at the half-time ceremonies. Plus, I would like to take my daughter to the game so she understands how important Mitch Richmond was to K-State basketball. And later, when I tell her to watch how Mitch could do a jump stop (in old highlights), she understands why it’s important to me and she can have a very high caliber player to emulate.

I would like tickets to either the Nebraska or Colorado games if they are not spoken for yet. I would like to use them as a send off gift for my brother-in-law who is stationed at Fort Riley and will soon be deployed to Iraq. He and I are HUGE KSU fans and it would be great to do something like this for him before he leaves to serve our country.
I will take tickets to the Nub game,because not only I am great company for a game, you also get to fly me out on your dime. I believe the word you all are looking for is, shoe-in.
3 words: Buffalo Wild Wings
Also you can take a load off, cuz next weeks K-Stated is on me….
Nebraska Baby
Hey J-mart! Good to hear from you again! I would love to be in attendence to the Kansas State vs. Nebraska game to witness two great players have their jerseys retired! I think I “deserve” these tickets because I have been an avid reader of this blog and my buddy and I love Kansas State athletics. Also, if you give me the tickets, Ill take you out to dinner in Aggieville and we can talk about whatever you want, then we can go to Varney’s and we’ll get matching t-shirts. How does that sound? Thank you J-Mart! Go Cats!
Oh geez, this is going to look bad but i ALMOST forgot. Me friend and I live in Lawrence and are on a Wildcat crusade. Its tough to make it to games and it’d be a great opportunity to take you out to dinner and discuss what its like to be a wildcat in Jayhawk land! Go Cats!
J-Mart,
I would like tickets to the Colorado game because I know Scott Paske. Not the real reason, but worth the try. How about because I will get teary eyed for DK on Senior Day. Not really, but what the heck.
Jeff,
You want to be entertained, huh? You know that guy on Letterman who wears an earpiece and says whatever Dave tells him to say to people? Imagine the possibilities at Bramlage. You want me to walk up to Wefald and introduce myself as a rep for the biodefense people and be like “Sorry, man, but Obama decided to cut the project. We’re not coming after all.”? I’m on it. You want me to alert Frank everytime the defense changes? FRANK! IT’S A ZONE, FRANK! ZONE! 3-2! 3-2, FRANK! You got it. You want me to drag Austin Meek to center court (in the middle of the game) and place him in a figure-four leglock? Done and done. You give me the tickets, and I will give you comedy gold.
Well J
I’d like to have the tics to ANY of the games that you might have available. I think I deserve it them because I have not complained about you not posting my “BAG”… I am very hospitable…and I never once asked you if you still wear the same baseball cap (unlike some NBA players i happen to know)! lol! If i won them I would donate them to to the Manhattan Boy N Girls club to give the opportunity to someone who might not ever get the chance to attend a game at all. Besides there annual fund-raiser is coming up and that would a great way for them to raise some $$$!
Here are my qualifications:
1) I’m the doom sign guy (pretty much all you need)
2) I creeped out Winter’s grandpa
3) I once made king square in 4-square
I won’t rub your feet or sponge bathe you like the rest of these guys so I know I’m pretty much at the rear of the pack here in getting the tickets. But I’m the doom sign guy. I make you feel better about yourself just by simply letting you realize that hey, “at least I’m not that guy!” EMAW, Jeffery Martin. EMAW!!!!1!!!!
I’d like NU or CU. I’ll be less hungover for the CU game so those can be #1 choice.
you should give them to fff. he deserves them more than anyone.
J-Mart,
Obviously I deserve them. And here is why:
So I jump on a bus in the ICT and make my way up to Manhattan, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Flint Hills, you know, Colbert Hills. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? Old Ballz, himself. Twelfth uncle of the Weefer’s barber. The flowing robes, the spectacles, the grace, bald… striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver, after first wiping it down with a Power Towel. He hauls off and whacks one — big hitter, Old Ballz — long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this enormous paw print sandtrap. And do you know what Old Ballz says? Gunga galunga…gunga — gunga galunga, EMAW! So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Old Ballz, hey, how about a little something, you know, perhaps a free hot dog from the AD, for the effort, you know?” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money or perishables, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness and a premium membership to GoPowercat.com.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.
Not only that, but I am quite knowledgeable about Scott Paske’s athletic endeavors and feats of strength. I remember when his father (the head football coach) opted to start Scott as the Varsity QB as a mere 9th grader for the Fightin’ Eureka Tornadoes. Quite a scandal in Greenwood County at the time.
Finally, I’m a 5th Generation K-Stater and even own a pair of game used trunks worn by Mitch Richmond. I’ll even let you wear them at the downtown YMCA during one of your midday regimines. Obviously, my first pick of games to attend would be the Nebraska game, so Mitch could see me in his shorts. Second choice would be CU.
Signed,
Your pal.
J-Mart,
I’d love to have either of the tickets, but I think you should give them to ‘KSt8Dan’ so his bother-in-law could go to the gave before being sent off to the desert, and ‘mama sayz’ so she could donate them to a less fortunate at the Boys N Girls club. That would be a lot cooler.
I…..can’t…….take…..the….pressure………ahhhhhhhhhh!
I’ll take my daughters to the game with the tickets . . . and they’ve been asking ot go since before the season began
No laugh in this plea. I want to give them to a co-worker who has given up his passion of the game to focus on his 15 year old daughter who was diagnosed with Leukemia last year. Weekly trips to Omaha has left little time and money for his passion, basketball. No chance at the KU tickets????
Go Cats.
Hey J-Mart. I saw you and walked by you at the Las Vegas Invitational both nights, but didn’t hassle you, bother you or take your picture to paste on my facebook or blog. I did make a deal about seeing you, though, which sort of confused my brother-in-law.
Anyway, I appreciate your generosity re: the tickets. If you happen to pick me, I would love a pair to the 1. Texas Tech 2. North Carolina Central game. I’m don’t live in the area, but my in-laws do. They’re big Cat fans. You could help me score some brownie points with them by hooking me up.
You could be the Miss Haversham to my Pip, in a way I guess.
Love(d) the vlog.
Jeff – I think you should give me some tickets for a few reasons:
1. I will raise my glass to the air.
2. Once I have the tickets, I will proceed to call your brother separated at birth – Mike Tomlin, where he will accompany me to Manhattan.
3. I won’t need the parking pass because they let me park my moped underneath Bramlage in Krause’s old spot.
4. I would like the Nebraska tickets because I was once told by a Nub fan that Lil’ Red was actually a midget named Jody inside the costume. I would also like these tickets because I’d like to personally witness Doc Sadler’s head explode.
P.S. – I’d also take the Colorado game so I could heckle all their players with hyphenated last names.
My top two choices in games: KU (I am involved in a blood feud with Conner Teahen) and NU (Saturday night game, good for pakr’s)
Reasons why I am deserving :
First, I smell terrific. No worries about me offending your “ticket neighbors” with my personal hygiene. I have several very exotic colognes, and I use Gold Bond liberally.
Second, I will not, under any circumstances, bring my old lady, a child, or any member of some sort of disenfranchised population. I will attend the game with one of several similarly qualified candidates (e.g. Limestone, ‘Clams, Rick D., Sys, Ching, F3, KK, etc.). Anyone requesting tix for the purpose of doing otherwise should be disqualified, IMO. This is the Octagon of freaking Doom, not an Applebee’s.
Third, and not many people know this about me, but I am currently working on a manuscript for a one-man show for the Purple Masque Theatre about the life and times of Matt Figger. I believe this format will bring an immediacy and reverence to Figger ‘s tale that movies and elaborate stage productions lack. Getting these tickets would allow me to be a first-hand witness to another chapter in this man’s amazing legacy.
Why would I like some tickets? I wish I could think of a clever response but I really don’t have one except for the fact that I idolize you man. I have spent many hundreds of dollars for FatHead to custom make me a cut-out of you so that I can hang it above my bed. I told my wife that she would just have to get use to it. I have told all three of my children that I will no longer pay for college unless they major in journalism. I was rather upset when LHCBS scolded you at his return press conference and wrote a rather lengthy letter to him afterwards to let him know that his behavior was completely unacceptable!
I would be more than honored to accept your tickets for the Nebraska game my second choice would be the Colorado game.
I would like to go to the CU game. I’ve got a 4 year old and a 7 year old and momma and I need a day trip to restore our sanity. I love my kids but the weather trapping them inside all winter makes them crazy.

You’ve got no flow
You’ve got no tickets

Got some tickets
To see Pat Knight.
The gon might feel a little Hostile
When baby knights ejected for protectin Voskuil.
But dont you boo
And don’t you roar
Cause Clemente is good for 44.
I have a tattoo of a Powercat eating a jayhawk on my shoulder. My 5 year old son and I painted our bellies with VS (Vanessa Stewart) for the osu game last year. I wear a big purple pimp hat at the games. If I win, I will take my son. Last year, at a timeout, my son yelled “Go back to Oklahoma” at the osu players in the huddle. We were in the 3rd row (miracle seat) right behind their bench. You should have seen the players’ faces. If we win, we will represent well. We prefer the cu game. Go State!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
doom, my dude, is that your best poetry?
why would you come at me and entry number 23?
oh, I forgot, imitation is the highest form of flattery
try to keep up, try to copy, have a peek at my recipe
i’ll do this all day, I’m like, a rechargeable battery
you can’t rewind time and hatch a new strategy
you had your chance, so don’t lash out at me
your special sign may be a hit with your message board dweebs
but your first plea for the freebies fell short, it was weak
go recruit your cyber friends and come back for round three
this is way more fun than espn’s rivalry week
work on your spelling, grammar, and bring some intensity
rehearse your verse before you post it for all to see
