Lawrence Police Trolls Kansas State Wildcats After NCAA Basketball Loss: A Rivalry Beyond the Court

After a six-game winning streak, the Kansas State Wildcats' momentum came to a halt as they lost their last two games to the BYU Cougars and Utah Utes. The Lawrence Police Department, based in the heart of rival Kansas Jayhawks' territory, couldn't resist poking fun at the Wildcats' misfortune.

The Trolling Begins

Following Kansas State's loss to Utah, the Lawrence Police Department took to Twitter to deliver a weather update with a twist. With temperatures plummeting to 3 degrees Fahrenheit, they humorously advised residents to stay indoors, comparing the cold to the Wildcats' lack of national championship titles.

"The roads around Lawrence aren't great, but they also aren't terrible. We aren't currently working any crashes or slide-offs. However, it's colder than KState's national championship record out there, so maybe stay home anyway." — Lawrence Police (@LawrenceKS_PD) February 18, 2025

Fan Reactions and Police Comebacks

Naturally, the post drew swift responses from disgruntled Kansas State fans, who pointed out the Jayhawks' own recent struggles. However, the Lawrence PD didn't back down, doubling down on their jabs at the Wildcats' quest for a national championship.

"We've worked 0 weather-related crashes since midnight, so that's great. But if we get too many Wildcat tears on the road they'll freeze and break our crash-free streak." — Lawrence Police (@LawrenceKS_PD) February 18, 2025

Mascot Mockery

Later in the day, the police department took another shot at the Wildcats, this time targeting their mascot, Willie the Wildcat, in a weather update turned troll.

Sports-Related Humor

This isn't the first time the Lawrence PD has engaged in sports-related humor. Last month, they jokingly claimed to have declined an interview request for their chief of police to become the Chicago Bears' head coach.

Game Night Karma?

As the Jayhawks prepared to face BYU in Provo, Utah, they hoped their city's police force's trolling wouldn't come back to haunt them on the court.
