She'll break the points record within the first month of the season.

Damn, i didn't know that spracs.  Sorry you went through that.

I know, but the loss of Black Mamba affected us all.

bro.

How has Painter been at Purdue for as long as he has? No one tries to hire him away just because it's his alma mater? He's won the Big Ten 4 of the past 8 years and is only getting paid $3.67 million. Surely somewhere like Kentucky or UCLA could lure him away.

if i remember correctly, he about left 10 years ago but decided to stay. He's had some tourney issues which prob scare some.
Painter leveraged the hell out of Mizzou before they hired Haith

He was also a finalist for Louisville when they hired Payne.

I don't believe the Arkansas stuff.  That sounds super gross to me. 

Right? Like why

They have more of every conceivable measurable advantage to make a job easier than we do, literally every single one, and not by a little either.

Crazy he turned that down then

A couple of things.
1. The 3MAW guys said he was facing a lot of internal pressure, presumably from friends and family to stay.
2. Arkansas has all those advantages, it can't be denied, they play in a 20,000 seat arena for goodness sakes, but it's Arkansas, it's a weird and frankly disgusting place. Muss left them for a situation that's appreciably worse, but it's not in Arkansas so there's that.

Which is kinda why I was like why. He left for USC. Which I get is location wise undeniably better but from a program and history is just absolute meh. His move from Arkansas to USC is like Frank to the other USC. It has little to do with history and a lot with admin. I get Linton dicked over Tang but from all I see the mustang is a great guy to work for.

To me all Arky has is it's 40 minutes of hell past and that's it. Your second point assessment is the correct take on trying to go to Arkansas to be bball coach. It ain't worth it

Eye on College Basketball guys essentially said they left to live in LA instead of Fayetteville. He lived in San Diego for a while growing up and he went back to college there. His wife worked in LA for quite a while when she worked for Fox Sports Net.

6-3 forward from Mo State...

https://missouristatebears.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/kennedy-taylor/7460

The last game she played in was the Mo Valley championship and she had a 20/10 game in just 20 minutes, she was ridiculously good. Unfortunately, she was guarding the post from Drake who hit a buzzer beater that sent Drake to the NCAA tournament.

Boggy bottom boys on Reddit. There was more of this joined by KU fans agreeing they had such a respectful rivalry as they have such great histories, and yes we're talking Iowa State.

So quick? I thought he was fake as eff even before this year. This year just confirmed it further.

I generally pull for the old big 8 teams. I was sincere in saying I think you guys will be better off without him.

Tang caused plenty of toxicity towards ISU and he never spoke out about it. I’d have a lot more respect for him now if he came out and said “my bad, I thought I something that I actually didn’t.”

But he didn’t, and instead the KState Twitter crowd ran with a bunch of BS about throwing things at the bench and being racist. It amazes me how many K State fans are being intentionally arrogant of that whole situation.
foocyclone sounds really racist

Netflix has a new doc about the recording of We Are the World, called The Greatest Night in Pop.  The footage is good and it's pretty impressive how they got all those stars to show up in one place at the same time.  There were lots of interesting mini-stories within this show and of course it talked about the efforts of trying to get Prince to show up.  Still no explanation of what Dan Aykroyd was doing there.  Drugs?

I just finished this and I can't emphasize enough how much I loved it. This is the perfect mix of wholesomeness and nostalgia. Even Waylon Jennings being a giant man baby didn't ruin this song or documentary.

the kso thread is unhinged. They're actively talking themselves into why Tang is an awful person.

yeah, I dipped out, had enough of trying to reason with unreasonable and some clearly bigoted people.
Ever been to Arkansas ?

Help me out with your point here?
They are way more racist/bigoted/non accepting than we are.

I hope that wasn't his point because how many racists and bigots there are in Arkansas has literally nothing to do with the current readability of kstateonline. Even if I were making some point about K-State fans being too bigoted, I wasn't and wouldn't, Arkansas fans being more bigoted is the worst rationalization in the history of the internet.

Like what are people saying???

There are some real shitbirds on Twitter. I’m not talking like Garth’s cringe. I mean emaw Caleb and Steve something just always ragging on tang and how we’ll be better off if he leaves or he’s an awful coach. They crap on Perry nonstop too. I blocked them, but they’re there. rough ridin' terrible shits.

People were getting really personal. Called him a snake oil salesman, a fraud, money hungry,  a scumbag, a liar. That bitch Caleb deleted all his crap taking. kstateman14 and topcat still have their meltdowns up.

I, for one, don't frequent Musk's fascist garbage dump.

Man, I wish I had your restraint.

This super league model makes the most sense to save the sport, which is exactly why it won't happen. They also should not call it a super league, it's absolutely not that.

you know nothing like this is ever going to happen when schools won't even schedule meetings to talk casually about it out of fear of upsetting the mickey mouse company. 

How do people charged with ensuring the best interest of student athletes even say that out loud without a moment self-reflection?  one wonders.

also, imagine the futures bets you could place on who is going to drop out of the g5 conference each season and who is going to rise.   Whole other lane of bets to make.

First, how is the Mouse going to find out about a few emails and phone calls? Second, isn't it their best interest to consolidate and drop the dead weight? Talking about the Vanderbilts and Wake Forrests of the world, etc. ...

This particular model does not drop any existing dead weight, that's why they should stop calling it a super league.

also a list of non-liberal cities would be helpful (iirc the only 1M+ population metros to vote for trump in 2016 were OKC and jacksonville FL)

Shawnee

That is not a city with at our e over a million people.
