Does Anyone Still Care Enough To Force The AD To Fire oscar?

[steve dave]

I'm not specifically talking about this very moment when we just happen to suck complete ass at basketball but at any moment in the future when we still suck complete ass at basketball. It seems like our fans no longer care about hoops even a little bit. Is oscar going to be our coach in like 5 years after making us losers for that entire time? Feels like he may be. Which would be terrible if anyone cared anymore. I kind of care that nobody cares but don't really care that we are bad. Does that make sense?

I forgot that they play in KC this weekend and i'm not even a little excited at all. 

[michigancat]

Not until we lose to KU in football.

I care.

If he doesn't make the tournament this year or next year, I'm sure we'll fire him as opposed to extending him.

That was Wooly's trap.  Every year we had to decide to extend him or fire him, and we'd always extend.  I'm not sure Currie would do the same, especially if Underwood would be interested in coming back.

If we don't make the NCAA this year, I want him fired.  His kids, his scheme, his fault.

However, I don't think any majority will care unless we miss the NCAA and don't get an NIT invite.  Even then, tucks will want to give him one more shot and Juniors Wes, Marcus, and DJamer will win his job back.

how many people cared enough to go the game on a nice Sunday evening yesterday?  were there 3k there?

[michigancat]

eh, I'll give him another year regardless.

[Shooter Jones]

my thing is, i slowly start to give more shits after the bowl game and as the 66 season progresses, and i'm at a fever pitch come the 2nd week of march. so, even if he makes the tourney every year, but continues these dogshit 1st round performances, he's got to go. we shouldn't settle for 1st round exits every year.

in saying that, i don't give a eff about bruceketball right now.

IMO, the atmosphere of college and K-State basketball is completely different now compared to Wooly. Wooly should have never been given the amount of time he got, but the money wasn't nearly as big then. The bottom line will speak for itself now and if the program stinks and fans don't but tickets and show up for games then oscar will fire himself.

At this point I still care about K-State basketball and will follow at the highest level I can. That said, I haven't been to a game yet and live within 30 minutes of the OOD.

He already has a lot of our fanbase into the "we need all of the pieces to align just right to make the tournament" mindset. While we probably shouldn't take making the NCAA's for granted, we sure as hell better not starting treating it as some magical occurrence that can only happen once every four or five years when the "right combination" of players comes together.

Didn't Wooly hit 9 wins in non con the last couple yrs? 

There should be a formula.  He gets the same time as wooly - one yr per each trip we have taken to the tourney since wooly.  He owes us right now.

I'm going to wait until after Saturday's game before i go full tilt #BID.  Last year, we looked like crap for first part of the season, then beat Gonzaga.  The year before that we looked like crap for the first part of the season, then beat Florida.  This game against A&M is at the same point in the season as Gonzaga and Florida.

Maybe it's some weird oscar thing that we can't get our crap together until late December.  I know the prior year's results have nothing to do with this season, but I have to hold onto something.

I think we should also explore changing the name of the board again.  Maybe bring back "put a track around the court......".  Or, maybe something to do with the "Hilo blues".  For example: "K-State baseketball, a pandemic of the Hilo blues".

the dramatic difference in play after first semester classes are done and there is "unlimited" practice time makes some sense for a first year coach in 12-13 and team playing a ton of underclassmen in 13-14 but I am disappointed if it is a factor for this squad with Foster, Wes, Nigel, Gip, Nino and even Jevon all with a ton of time in the system last season.

[sonofdaxjones]

If memory serves.  $1.8 million this year, $100K increase every year, contract runs through 2018, $500K bonus if he makes through 2017.

$2.5 million dollar or sum of the remaining term of the contract whichever is LESS.

Figure out when the "less" kicks in, you may have a guide.

In all honesty, Frank's teams were pretty similar in the OOC (save 09-10), they just never played in a tournament the same level as Maui.

[bballfan]

Exactly. No one at the games, and the people there don't seem to care.

I heard louder cheers for the cowboy dancers at half time a few games back than I have for the team all season.

Also people were rough ridin' pissed about it. Someone pull up the archives after the Ole Miss game in PR.

[steve dave]

now nobody is pissed 

[michigancat]

yeah, because frank taught them it would all be OK. Also because they like oscar's style more and are willing to give him a free pass they wouldn't give Frank.

Def corresponds to how Frank acted and how unwhite/midwestern he was, imo.

I think it has more to do with Frank's teams playing hard and being fun to watch. I didn't even know the Savannah State game was yesterday until my wife asked me what channel it was on. Then I went back to reading a book with the game on in the background. Looked like we won, so I was sort of pleased about that I guess. If I had payed closer attention, I would have probably come away upset about something.
