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

[CNS]

I may also be projecting,  but no one seems to care at all. 

Who knows, maybe when conf starts?  In the past there has def been fans who refuse to pay attn until after the bowl, but there were still pleny bbs' ers and twitter'ers excited before the bowl.  Now, it seems like hardly any interest at all.  Super sad.  I want my KSU BB excitement back.

maybe for another thread, but can we talk about how embarrassing it is when Vulture does something positive (taking a charge) and celebrates like he just won the lottery.

Yes, it's incredibly embarrassing. Smile because you hit a good shot not because you got lucky stripes called it on the other guy.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I would be excited about Cat hoops if they just would have beaten Arizona.

[CNS]

Yeah.  It would be enough to hold on to for a while, anyway.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I will probably tune into the Texas A&M game because they are a former conference opponent that used to be good. Beating those guys would be more fun than beating some other mediocre school.

[Trim]

If you attend/watch/chat with the right people, anything can be lol'd at.

[EMAWican]

In previous years it was extremely easy to get emotionally attached and involved with Cat hoops.  This year it isn't.  At all.  I think it's because I've always appreciated exceptional effort on defense and seeing the players just having fun playing.  I can't say that I've seen them having fun this year, even when they're winning.

Should I have gotten more excited after Vulture's third charge in like two minutes?  Meh *yawn*

[CNS]

Nino is the closest thing we have to a JYC, and Jamar is disappointed in me for even bringing him up.

[Rage Against the McKee]

This team would be a whole lot more watchable if they had a Luis Colon type to go out and enforce on the court.

i dont think i care enough to force ADJC to fire oscar but id probably get super drunk, throw a headband on and march around the ernie barrett statue.

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.

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

Yeah, Frank had a couple of #BID OOC stretches before #BID was cool. George Mason and Oregon in 08. Kentucky, Iowa, Oregon in 09. 

And there is nothing like a nice FT% meltdown.

I melted down pretty hard after the Fort Hays State win.  Felt pretty good.

Would there ever be sufficient fan/donor discontent to fire any basketball coach here?

[wetwillie]

If oscar can fill the stadium and keep sufficient revenue while sucking ass then I guess he will keep his job. 

[Spracne]

The thing abt oscar is that he sucks, but he doesn't suck hard enough.  I have no idea how he presents with the cigars, though.  He IS awk AF, although maybe the cigars don't mind.  I don't know enough about high-level internal KSU athletics politics to know if that matters.

[sonofdaxjones]

I think this team can be better, much better.    I had similar thoughts the last two years, but my perception during those times was that if K-State could get straightened out on offense that things would improve, and they did.    This year I see very capable offensive team that's leaderless and soft.   A much worse situation IMO, and that's on oscar.

But, K-State can't afford to have a basketball program that's not making decent jack, so like I said, get out your "whichever number is less" slide rules and start calculating . . . provided oscar craps the bed.

[420seriouscat69]

Part of me still has hope that we'll figure it out. I just really need something to get into after the bowl game and I need them to not suck.

[Gooch]

Cat hoops is just the Bridge to get me to the #batcats. eff you oscar Weber.

[CHONGS]

We overcame adversity enough to finish 5th and get a cup of coffee in the tournament last year.  There was a time when that was used as the low bar (BB, before oscar).

[Pete]

I guess it really comes down to how secure, both in himself and his current job, John Currie feels.  Is it more important to John to do whatever it takes to put K-State sports in the leadership of the best hands possible, or is more important to John to ensure that he avoids looking like he made a mistake?

Here's the thing though, I really wouldn't call the Weber hire a mistake IF we fire Weber after this year (assuming it goes like renowned basketball expert, Ken Pomeroy, thinks it will go).  oscar coached Frank's players to a share of the Big 12 title, which was great!  But, failing to fire Weber before he does what we all KNOW he will do (i.e. drive the program directly into the ground just like he did at Illinois) would be a HUGE MISTAKE.

It will be very fun to watch how Currie handles this.  I am very much looking forward to it.

It would still be a mistake because we can't go back to ART w/Frank or Gottlieb or any other non-oscar coach.  Now the next coach will start w/the oscar crew.

['taterblast]

i'm terrified of experiencing the same mediocrity that he displayed at illinois. currie won't fire that, imho. could be wrong. and, as always, i'm hoping everything turns around and oscar is wildly successful.

[CNS]

He could be fine if there was a group of ridic funded boosters buying players without his knowledge, imo

[Clevey 2 Times]

I do not see how any sane person could watch this team to this point and conclude, "well, maybe he'll get it together, this is just like the last two years."

It's not. This team is soft, out of shape, and leaderless for the most part.

Just wait until our boy ADJC gets to make a football hire....eff.

A good coach could build a winning team around Foster.
