In any sport, the process for determining a champion doesn't really have to have anything to do with determining the best team. All you have to have is enough acceptance of the process.

Beating 8, 16, 5, 11, 9, 11 to win a national championship would be the most amazing thing that has ever happened in sports.

Of course we're the national champions, we beat the (best case scenario) 29th, 61st, 17th, 41st, 33rd, and 42nd best teams in the country.  How else would you determine it?

This is such a silly talking point.  If anything the tournament is pretty compelling proof that no matter how much you like ranking/ordering teams, there is just not that much separation between them.  Say Virginia demolishes UMBC and then has their UMBC-type performance against KSU.  Why would that suddenly make our road to the E8 that much more impressive?

yes

It's amazingly disingenuous, sure.

I mean the photo's great, but Mellinger has a classic non-take take

I'll talk to the junk I want to talk to sys, rusty, clams, trim, grapefruit, etc., but I'll be damned if I'm going to let ku fans use a bully pulpit to tell us that we should have been happy with a coach .500 in conference with one first four win, eff all of that and eff Sam Mellinger, Nate Bukaty and anyone else trying to "I told you so" to this entire fan base. These ku fans felt not the least bit threatened by oscar Weber but now they want to Lord superiority over my people? Nah, I'm not here for it.

Mellinger, for me if oscar makes the F4 then absolutely all his past mistakes are 100% forgiven.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

That he absolutely helped perpetuate. No one, literally no one in the media pitched a bigger crap fit about "go ask Fran."

This run doesn't invalidate a single rough ridin' thing I've said about oscar. And neither would a win over Loyola. FWIW.

yes, heard a lot of "we cheered for you last night, but we know you'll be cheering for clemson hur hur huring" already.  this was from facebook, i don't ever comment on facebook, or post, and i sure as hell wouldn't post about ku after one of their games, but sure enough they like to start posts after our games with back handed compliments and then make another comment to make it all about them in the end.  so rough ridin' weird

I think, I hope, over never thrown my proBruce stance in anyone's face simply because I've been all over the place on it. There isn't a person in the world who can claim some unwavering support, it's been a very uneven tenure, crap, we were dangerously close to losing to UMBC. I would not be surprised even a little bit if we lost 8+ games next year. I'm on board with oscar but I'm not going to act like this has been some smooth ride and I have no worries for the long term future of Kansas State basketball.
