Have I mentioned yet that I hate this year's KU basketball team? All of a sudden I feel like I'm turning into catzacker.
What are your reasons? Seriously curious.
1. KU has trouble securing a double digit lead. With the exception of Baylor, KU has let every single BCS team they've played come back after being down double digits. They damn near lost at home to mediocre teams like UCLA, USC, and Nebraska.
2. This KU team has incredibly low BBIQ. They don't value possessions. They take dumb shots early on in the offense. They make bad fouls on the defensive end. It's just a frustrating team to watch for the most part.
3. Self refuses to let his young talent work through their mistakes. Whenever Johnson/Robinson/Selby make a mistake, they're immediately yanked out of the game. However, Morningstar/Taylor are basically given free reign to suck something fierce. This is especially true for Morningstar, who has completely regressed since the '09 season.
The bottom line is that this KU team will once again choke in the NCAA tournament. They simply aren't that good, and we'll find that out over the next few months.
why do you dipcacs act angry/surprised when this cac happens?
Seriously people. It's like being shocked when Frank misses out on a recruit.
*sigh*
On a similar note, why do you act surprised/exasperated when people melt down?
You know what's fun? Melting down on message boards. You know what isn't fun? Haughtily refusing to melt down even though everyone knows you want to.
I'm all for a good meltdown. Believe me. I've been melting down over Snyder 2.0 since Day 1. The CU home loss was also an example of a great meltdown oppy.
This, however, is like melting down over the sun rising in the east.
It's just practice, stretching the meltdown legs. I feel like our fanbase as a whole is jumping at every opportunity to melt down over football for fear of becoming irreversibly indifferent to it.
And I support that.
We don't need the tucks. We need the large contingent of people who agree with us but don't know it's ok to speak out against the tucks and who need a leader.
Give a few days for GPC to discuss this. It seems several over there are coming around. The 'tucks are split on this. Probably the best you could ask for.
The tucks are holding out hope for Leavitt/anyone other than Cosh.
If the only staff move is Sean and/or a position coach to replace Mo or Burns, it's time to turn up the heat.
sorry bud but they don't have thesauruses on mars wow. just wow, they're just lining up today folks, so so sad. what a complete dumbass.lol maybe in a dictionary from marsstubbornness/old timeyness?
Those are just different words for arrogance/laziness
I think you mean a thesaurus from mars dumbass

I've never heard or seen k-State put up videos up another team losing a game on its videoboards ever . . . there's a difference between somebody doing a Youtube and an official university source.
You guys bought a sh*tload of Bucknell shirts, though. Baylor just took Kstateo to another level.
Were people actually happy when LHC Bill Snyder was announced as the head coach?
Would love Bill Callahan, Tommy Bowden, Leach, Venzy, Gary Barnett, Rich Rod (wouldn't take the job but I can dream), misc. current assistants in the SEC (I would be fine just naming programs without knowing who the coach actually is...ie DC at LSU, DC at Auburn, DC at Alabama, etc.)....all of these would be a significant upgrade over our current directionless pile of cac.
LOL at Callahan
Yeah, LOL at getting amazing recruits and being competitive in the Big 12.
Callahan will never happen because too many of our fans have an inferiority complex with Nebraska.
He was competitive? Didn't KU put up 70+ on his team?
"That will take a long time."
My soul is being crushed with each game this team loses. I'm not mad at them, it just sucks. We now probably need 8 more conference wins to make the NCAAs. Maybe we can put it together and win the B12 tourny.
I just want a coach/staff that can really recruit. Being good at recruiting is just as fun as being good in games.
Agreed. Remember GRCOAT? That kicked the crap out of the Elite Eight. Not kidding.

I've thought about this a lot and I actually think it's possible we don't suck quite as much as we think we do right now.
