Perspective I suppose.

I mean, I try not to get so emotionally attached that I get depressed by K-State basketball lows, but today is a disappointing day. The realization that 5 years ago exactly I enjoyed probably the best moment I ever have as a K-State fan puts that into even more perspective.

yeah we're all basically wandering around dazed and aimless in a post-apocalyptic basketball hellscape at this point

Don't get me wrong, the program at this point is in really bad shape, but I've seen it worse. I think its a bit much to say destroyed. I will still get back up and remain hopeful for the future, even next year as crazy as that sounds.

I suppose today feels like a rePeete for some of us, which incidentally happened 10 years ago this to this season. I remember being really disappointed when that happened as well (it wasn't until May), but I didn't know what it was like to be a decent program at that point either.

kstate does not care about basketball. john curie did not hire huggins or frank and wouldn't have. he lucked into money to build the btf because of our elite 8 run and built it. the end.

Has there been a bigger dereliction of their job responsibilities to turn that into what we have now in 5 years? Outside of ku football I can't think of a bigger and quicker fall and ku football had nowhere near the foundation. We were in fantastic shape, the talk of the country, they were putting up a spanking new BTF that was the best in the conference. Just great buzz everywhere.

And it is literally all gone now except the BTF

kso_FAN · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2015, 10:43:36 AM »

We aren't anywhere near KU football. Yet.

JMHO.

We had an actual program in place. A home court advantage that national people would talk about as being the best in the country. A style of play that teams feared. An actual brand. What's our rough ridin' brand now?

True, I will concede that. We are in a bad spot now compared to where we were though. It's almost like that EMAW talking point we like that on the eve of that S16 game against KU in 88 we were the better program. And what happened after were very dark days.

we skipped the Gill part of it and jumped right to the big name retread part.

I disagree. KU football will likely make (wnd win) a non-shitty bowl game well before we win a tournament game again.

This! Never drew that commonality between Sheahon and Currie. Now I'm scared.

I disagree. We only need to get to 7th place to make the tourney potentially, and then anything can happen to win a game. KU football has been an embarrassment, especially since it went to a round robin.

That isn't a totally apples to apples comparo as 3 shitty noncons and 3-6 in conference gets KU in a bowl game versus an equally mediocre opponent. TCU pretty much put the exact equivalent in BB this season by going undefeated vs a bad noncon (that actually had 3 P5 schools and a tourny team in Ole Miss) and 5/15 and they didn't even get an NIT bid.

I guess after looking at it that way I have to agree.

Who wins a tournament game first KSU or Nebraska?

My money would be on Nebraska.
