Yep, should have turned that high five into a dab

This whole thing happened yesterday, not 2015.

I don't think I'm the person you should be defending TW to.

lol, wes is the epitome of an oscar-coached player
You mean a good player expected to be what he is not? Correct. Wes is great at what he does. So is DJamer. Neither should be counted on as program leading players. Just like Rodney. Just like Walker. Just like Curt. Just like Jamar. Good players, of differing talent levels yes, but none should ever be expected to carry/lead a team.

no he's the ultimate oscar player bc he's petty, aloof, and shits his pants in crunch time

I don't agree with any of this but how in the hell do you justify petty and aloof? I can't think of anything more petty than attacking that dude because he doesn't make as many shots to your liking the last 30 seconds of a game

asking you to put a percentage chance of Weber getting fired if (if) this team makes the tournament seems like an insanely reasonable question to ask, given that you've been arguing for pages now that you think it's a very real possibility.

I'll even go first....as if right now I think there is a less than five percent chance that oscar gets fired if this team makes the tournament. That took me less than a minute.

You think the chances of him getting fired are the same if we finish 2-4 with let's say three double digit losses than they are if we go 5-1 in our next six games?

I was looking for testy westy coverage and found this good wildcat salute parody comment to the article for yesterday's game.  Nice job, "Kay Sumner."

That's no different than that idiot color commentator for the Longhorn Network who insisted that Wade was our best shooter.

Taking the tact of "I don't know what the hell this team is going to do let's let the season play out" leads to that reaction? Okay buddy :lol:

23082
Yeah, the game is nationally broadcast on a series called "Wednesday Night Rivalry." Philly fan is a special kind of hockey fan. They actually caused their team to get a penalty when they played Washington in the playoffs last year by throwing these bracelets on the ice that were used as a tribute to their recently deceased owner. It was WTF but "of course they did that" all at the same time.

SdK I honestly thought the Testy Westy thing would be something you can appreciate, he took his feelings right to BWeb's face. No screen name, no twitter, no PM; that's in your face, I think you're crap at your job.
Good on him for boooooing. Bad on him for getting that owned by oscar. Good on oscar for winning the moment. I'm not sure how I would have reacted,  but I'd prefer to think I'd have a good line to tell him or pull him up to talk. Especially with a camera rolling.

Yep, should have turned that high five into a dab

With last choice closing I believe O'Malley's is Moro Street's longest running, continuous business. Other than the laundromat, I guess.

23086
I was at this game and pretty sure it was with Dr. Daris.  We then most likely went to Rusty's and pounded big beers of Icehouse.

So top that dorks

How are the social security checks treating you, gramps?

his twitter has a photo showing he was banned from gE? which like i didn't even know was humanly possible. in any case, he just looks like a creepy idiot imo.

Just text me or something when you need a quick background story.

Does this story entail more than pissclams banning him because of big brother, lol?

MIR can't be serious with this?  Did he not have dozens of posts re: the Leti release where our AD went to the goddamn wall to make sure his hire didn't lose his best player?  Motherfucking Jay Bilas called us out on that before we finally did the right thing

What in the entire world does Leticia Romero have to do with this?

Good lord. We didn't keep oscar at the end of last year to then fire him after making the tourney this year. If he makes the tourney, he stays. I'm baffled that people are arguing the possibility that this isn't true.

Any commentary on the rationale or no?

my post was commentary. I also agree with everything sys and Russ have said. Out of curiosity, if this team makes the tourney, what percent chance do you give for oscar being fired?

I'm not going to give a percentage because there is such a wide variance of circumstance on how the season will play out, even at this point. I will say that right now I think the most likely circumstance is that we make the tournament and oscar oscar is retained, but that's far from a given.


I do appreciate actually discussing reasons why he should go or stay, by nearly everyone itt, instead of the normal he's staying because CurDog hur hur hur, for the 10,000th time.

I reject the notion that any improvement over 5-13 constitutes enough of an improvement to keep his job. If we are smart enough to evaluate the course of and to project what we see why can't the athletic director do the same? I also reject the absolute knowledge of oscar getting to do what he wants because Currie can't admit his mistake.

I agree, an NCAA tournament after 5-13 constitutes enough improvement though. I've seen enough from oscar that I don't expect a significant dropoff (if any) assuming everyone returns next year.

I don't think we have enough knowledge about Currie to be so resolute about what he's going to do. When I evaluate what I think is going to happen I see Currie as brand x athletic director. I think others are placing attributes to him we don't know are true or not.

We know he hired oscar immediately after he was fired and kept him after consecutive disastrous seasons. And oscar's five seasons at KSU have been arguably better than his last five at Illinois. Firing oscar after cleanly building an NCAA tournament team seems to contradict every decision Currie has made regarding men's basketball to date. What more information would we need to make a reasonable assumption about Currie's thought process?

What does his last five years at Illinois have to do with anything? You also have no idea whether or not Currie thinks he made a mistake five years ago, not necessarily in who he hired but his methodology and process. He was a young AD making his first major hire. Why do people think he can't see his mistake and want to be better?
If he really changed, the end of last season would have been the perfect time to admit he made a mistake. No reasonable person could have found last year's results acceptable yet turned around and fired Weber for this year's results. I suppose it's possible Currie had some sort of change of heart this season but it seems very unlikely because I think he's a reasonable person.

It would have been acceptable if you were okay with letting the entire back court go at the end of the previous season.

Who would have thought hotdogs would have whipped this snake pit into a frenzy?

osu didn't go to the tournament last year.

i haven't paid any attention to who we already have signed to come in next year.  so maybe we already have people recruited or on the bench, no idea.  i think we could use a juco pg and a decent big.  we don't need to replace iwu with another point forward, just use a more normal lineup.  if they don't get another usable big, i don't hate the idea of playing small/skilled with wade at the 5 a fair bit.  nothing wrong with outscoring people.  wade at the 4 and the no defense, good offense big we have whose name i can't recall could also outscore people.

You just described another rebuild, not a complete one but an identity change, again.

Ford was 3-15 last season

Jesus, not sure how I just forgot about that, sorry.

I still think it is likely this team loses to OU, OSU, and TCU. Do they still make the tournament if they lose all 3?

Probably
