oscar WEBER FIRING ANNOUNCEMENT CONTEST

[DOD Take 2]

In anticipation of this season culminating in a sub .500 record and oscar's subsequent firing, I am announcing the official oscar Weber Firing Announcement Contest. Does he make it to the end of the year? Is he left at the tarmac ala Lane Kiffin style? Does the AD even wait until he gets off the court or do they Jim Wooldridge him? Who knows! If this thread is lucky enough to earn gE sponsorship like it's football equivalent, there could (could) be a prize.

Our rules will follow the same from the football board (copied directly from Pete): 1) Name the date on which the announcement will be made, 2) Name the approximate time of day, and 3) How is the announcement made...what is official medium and distribution channel for the announcement.  Here's what we are NOT looking for....speculation about the next coach....that is NOT important in this thread.    The closest prediction wins!

My prediction:
Thursday, March 10th. Noon Central. Email from ADJC distributed to Cat fans.

I'm not even sure we have this blog registered out far enough to cover this contest.

[CHONGS]

Never

[CHONGS]

I mean he's getting probably going to get an extension for his valiant efforts this year.

Currie doesn't even remember we have a men's basketball program.  Until the FB team has a new coach, then maybe oscar will be evaluated.  He will retire here.

[SdK]

oscar will not retire here. May he have a longer leash than he should? Yes. But he will not retire here. He nor Currie can ruin KSU basketball. Sheesh.

Does losing in basketball really bother people?  is still the number one topic

They already have.

[SdK]

Pffft no they have not. Good lord.

[michigancat]

He will retire here. next season will be better than this one.

We all know it's this.

[kitten_mittons]

Pffft no they have not. Good lord.

Well then who did it?

[wetwillie]

I blame rising conference revenues and additional tier 3 money.  falling bball revenue just doesn't hurt bad enough.

[Ptolemy]

Currie would have to admit a mistake in order to fire 6ruce. John Currie does not admit mistakes.

That is all. Enjoy 6ruce.

Eventually, ADJC will fire oscar. Donors.

Assistant coaches wI'll get the ax first.  We should not be having so much trouble with zone defenses against us.  This may all be a plan to get us to the MVC by Currie.  As long as Currie is here, oscar will be the wIzard of weiner.

I'm just looking forward to see where he'll take everyone for a post press conference treat! Seriously, that's about all I'm interested in.

Everyone acts like this was such a horrible loss.  Did anyone really think, when the season started, that we'd split with ISU, a team loaded with seniors and veterans.  ISU was in the top-5 for a few weeks of the season.  ISU beat Iowa, who is now looking like a team to be reckoned with.  ISU has a go-to scorer, who will probably be at least, a second team All-American.  ISU has an experienced point guard who seldom turns the ball over and has a chance to play on the next level.  ISU has other athletes who fill roles and everyone on their team can shoot the ball.   Were we supposed to beat them this year?  We have three freshmen playing major minutes, and a couple of other guys who were reserves last season also playing major minutes.  I'm not making excuses, but geez, let's come back down to earth.  In a couple of years, maybe even next year, fan bases will be talking about how difficult it will be to beat K-State because of their experience.  Do people on here really understand how hard it is to beat a team with a veteran point guard, an athletic big man, and a senior, four-year starter?   In a few years, that will be us.  Lighten up on this team.  I'm not concerned about wins this year.  I'm concerned about how we compete, and how we grow.  Right now, I'm pleased with both.  This team doesn't OWE any of us anything but effort.  They don't OWE us an NCAA Tournament appearance or a certain number of wins, or a certain standing in the conference.  They just don't.

Man, we love splitting with teams.  Makes it so we can go close to .500 and no one gets their feelings hurt because we both have won a game. 

Participation trophies and orange slices for everyone.
