I think that the Brown brothers are great football players and great for the state of Kansas. I think that they just get put under a microscope because they have what every other high school football player in kansas is trying to get. Some reconition and the talent to take their game to the next level.

Sorry RikRok, didn’t mean to come off that way. I was just heated from the comments that were made about the Brown Brothers. They get no respect for what they are doing for Wichita. Every interview they do, they mention they want everyone to see the talent Kansas high school football has to offer. You haven’t talked bad about them (you could even be a fan) and I apoligize for jumping to conclusions.

Lets not forget that Wichita isnt the only smaller city that has legit all americans. All Americans dont just come from top notch programs. I think that guys such as Ken Norton JR. and Urban Meyer and Bob Stoops are way more expierced than some of the negative jerks on these discussion boards. Kansas may not be the hottest bed for D-1 talent however we are doing very well relative to our population.

WOW!!! Folks, I just read some REALLY interesting stuff here!!! Whatever the reasons we have for (not) liking the Brown brothers, please remember that they are in fact, good players. I recall many people bagged on Monty Beisel (and some still do) when he was @ Douglass… his senior year wasn’t good from a TEAM perspective, but he turned out to be a good ball player. Where is he now? With the Cardinals. Anyway, seriously, Mr. Butler… You shouldn’t have taken that one comment so personal. The nice (?) thing about a blog like this is that we can all say whatever we want in ALMOST total anonymity. One thing we should remember, folks, is this: Kansas is NOT a “hotbed” of high school football, so when we have a chance to show off young ‘uns like the Browns, Barry N Byron, Jake Sharp, Kamerion Wembley, et al, we SHOULD!!!! Cause we CAN play the game here in Kansas! Steve Grogan, John Riggins, Nolan Cromwell, Kendall Gammon, Steve Tasker and others…. Remember them? Bottom line: they are still just kids…

Be a jerk if you want. I was just trying to answer why some people rag on the Browns. (And mine was a metaphor, too, by the way, but I think you know that.)

My point is that they alone are not carrying Wichita football in any way.

The other players you mention — the Harpers, the Randles, etc. — are in the mix as athletes that are bringing attention to Wichita.

Just because the Browns show up one week on ESPNU is more of a testament to the work done by Brian Butler. He’s done a great job of getting them publicity.

IMO, it’s the consistent “There’s the Browns and there’s everybody else” or a “Browns are carrying Kansas prep football on their backs” attitude that sometimes grinds on people.

And its people like you who study comments of others and annotates them so you can prove how much of a d!ck you are. You should try making up your own statements about the Browns instead of criticsizing everyone else’s.

It was a metaphor by the way. The Browns has brought back Wichita high school football from Barry Sanders ashes (another metaphor). Coaches around the nation WANT to make a stop here. ESPNU came to televise a game feturing them. Players like Marky Nolen, Joseph Randle and Chris Harper have benefitted from playing against the Brown Brothers and have gotten serious looks from major colleges. I take back my comment about “carrying Wichita high school football on their backs”. Instead, they are carrying Kansas high school football on their backs.

Annotate that sh!t, b!tch.
