You guys do realize we will be like a 10 seed right?

You realize Oscar has not won a round of 64 game yet right?

So if we lose round 1, that still acceptable for you in year 6?
We made this acceptable the moment we hired oscar. Nothing he's done to date should be a surprise to anyone.

It will be acceptable to literally no one if oscar doesn't get out of the first round, and I can't believe you actually responded to PIPE's illiterate ass.
No way in hell will firing oscar be considered this year. His seat isn't even lukewarm.

You're correct, but these things can both be true. He has two years to win a first round game, this wouldn't be the case if his previous tournament record was acceptable.

I don't think you can say him failing to win a tournament game is unacceptable yet also say he won't be fired if he fails to win a tournament game. I mean you can possibly say it's unacceptable to not win an NCAA tourney game 7 years in a row, but failing to win NCAA tournament games anywhere from 1-6 years is absolutely acceptable at Kansas State University.

I didn't say failing to win A tournament game is unacceptable, in his situation not getting out of the first round in 6 years is and if he doesn't, he should and will feel more heat. Of course this is completely situational. Going to 4 tournaments in 6 years with just a first four win gets you a extension at Nebraska or Texas Tech, that gets you fired at Indiana or Xavier.

The reason why this season isn't a tipping point is that he's getting all these guys back, if he has a similar season next year then you'd have hard evidence that this is what oscar is. Gene may be okay with oscar but the fans won't be. He'll lose a lot of people like myself, who currently supports the program.

There currently exists a large and powerful sample size with clear evidence as to what exactly Oscar is. One more year and then there will be hard evidence? Then we'll have 280 power 5 conference games for evidence instead of 262? False positive. So what if he finishes 2nd-3rd in the Big 12 next year. Then what? Maybe wait another 3-4 years for another once-in-a-generation type of player from a small town in Kansas? Sounds like a great plan.

Freshman year at municipal we got thumped by them by 40 with some shaq'esque player that faided away as the season moved forward. Now we wanna fire a guy for making the tourney 4 out of 6 seasons. What a time to be alive.

Your premise is that making the field of 68 is, in and of itself, an accomplishment. Interesting. Meanwhile, the school down the road has accomplished this 28 consecutive times. Twenty-eight. But for small-timey K-State it really is such a big deal. Seems like it should be more of an expectation than something to be thrilled about, but you do you. Your past experience when you were a freshman is obviously causing bias. This is like my grandpa saying, "I had to walk four miles to school each way when I was a kid," and now grandpa refuses to get rid of his shitty 1988 Oldsmobile because he can't get that awful walk out of his head. Of course K-State isn't as awful as when they lost to UMKC. Pinch hitting a .100 hitter for .200 hitter is an upgrade, but odds are that he's still going to strike out--just as oscar has failed to make the round of 32, not only at K-State, but dating back to 2006. Just a large and conclusive sample size. But hey, at least he's made it to the party 66% of the time in an era in which it has never been easier. It comes down to your standard. Wacky's standard is making the tournament 66% of the time and not losing to UMKC by 40. I am both appalled and envious that enjoyment can come from this.

4 out of 6 years in the tourney. Dude is straight legit!

This is worse than an Iowa State fan being happy about bowl eligibility.
It's our hobby sport, idiot.

Nice.

Please, go on.

K-State being slightly less scrubby than ISU, OSU, TX, Baylor has really made for an exciting season.

All signs point to the second weekend. Exciting stuff.

Anyone have a clip of Brian Smoller's call after Wade's baseline jumper?

How many of you guys do soft tissue work on yourselves? Like foam rollers, lacrosse balls, or Orb balls?

Also, this tool will changes your life:

Use it with cocoa butter or any other lubricating oil. I use it on my achilles tendon pretty regularly.

"Worst. Column. Ever.

I for one love this move by HCBS. It is called setting higher expectations and not settling for the bare minimum. For them to celebrate after backing their way to a Big12 title would have been bush-league - something K-State would have done. Don't be such a pansy"

Pud Pre-Meds:  Biology

Stud Pre-Meds:  ChemE

Yes, people who major in engineering while also pre-med are pretty incredible.  Really does not matter what you major in as each school has their own set of pre-requisites you're required to meet.  You might as well major in something you're interested in, because what are you going to do with that biology degree if you don't get in?

Can't wait until they cut the new south video board in half, using it as a scoreboard, as well. Cause, you know, that's what they're used best for.

Nope, but the new rowing facility sure takes out a nice chunk of parking.



*PHEW* congrats, bros. :cheers:

I'm pretty sure that's not true, I remember seeing a picture a few pages ago of a light that definitely took out a parking space

1. still a parking spot (bike, smart)
2. parking lot lights are totally separate from wsc

I'm looking to go visit a buddy in Australia sometime in the next year. I browsed Virgin Australian cards but didn't think they were all that great. Any suggestions on how I could make this flight as cheap as possible? TIA

Was a offered a walk-on spot in '07 out of high school and was briefly on the team. My first practice was a couple weeks before the Auburn game. Will never forget it.  Prince was making Leon Patton roll 1,000 yards and Leon wanted no part of it. Prince stopped practice and had the entire team circle around Leon yelling at him trying to get him to roll.  Leon was more or less beside himself, screaming "This (insert racial expletive) tryna make me roll!" Over. And over. And over. Absolutely no emotion on Prince's face amidst all this. It was like it was exactly what Prince wanted to happen.  Leon didn't roll, and eventually practice got started again.  At the end of practice Prince addressed the issue, saying that it was your decision if you wanted to be a rough ridin' (insert black racial expletive) or rough ridin' (insert white racial expletive). "K-State doesn't lose games on the field, they lose it off the field."
