I would give it at least a .000000001% chance since his agent is obviously working this thing.

The whole fact that we are idiots?  Really?  The whole, whole fact?  Wow.  You, sir, are an idiot.

I agree in that I could care less if Self stays or goes.  I don't think he is a very good coach, but he does bring a lot of talent to ku.  ku could easily get a better coach if he left.  I also agree that I doubt he goes to Florida.

Hmmm...a program with LOTS of $$$$ recent success, a great recruiting class, and a fanbase that doesn't post 'Fire Coach' threads after every loss.  Lower stress + more $$$ + recruiting to FLA = Definitely worth the look.

Or maybe Ed Manning is available.

Matt Doherty?

It's interesting if this article is true why they think they can pull Self in. 

Anyone think Self may have inquired by phone?

I guess if you're a ku fan, it has to be about tradition.  Puporting yourself as an elite school certainly can't be about winning national championships.

They do now.  Tradition is something you constantly create by winning.  ku has a longer tradition, but that really doesn't matter to 17 year old kids.  They just want to be able to wear championship rings and and do stupid dances with Jim Nance and Billy Packer on CBS after cutting down the nets.  They know that  they can do that at Florida.  At Kansas?  Not so much.  All they've ever seen Kansas do is lose the big one, then watch an old gray-haired coach cry about it.

Look kid, it isn't all about winning National Titles, it's about long term tradition.   Why would you want to go someplace that's won back to back national titles, when you can play here . . . where we have long term tradition.

The Florida job has to interest him somewhat.  He could be following the Roy Williams plan and win a championship in his second year after bailing on ku.

And yes it is about tradition, with Donavan gone Florida will slide back into nothing once again. If Kansas and Florida were to recruit the same player heavily, 9 out of 10 times the kid is coming to Lawrence
daresler.net/info/top/basketball-programs/

there it is douchebag, we are in FACT in the top 25 all time basketball programs.  :ku: < that's you



A. One random website (that also doesnt work) listing KSUCK as a top 25 program doesnt mean @#%$.  Show me something credible from a realistic source or hell show me something that even merits KSUCK being mentioned at all besides the most embarassing streak in college basketball?   So no this does not in fact make you a top program unless like I said peviously...you count from the bottom.  Top programs dont skip out on the postseason for decades at a time retard.

When you are done giving Rush his reach around, read this....
(http://www.nmnathletics.com.edgesuite.net/pics7/200/WT/WTVMIEPKICBBUMJ.20060404235034.jpg)

And you will see we are the top 22 program overall in college basketball. And that was before our number one recruiting class came to town.

Ahh, the ol' ku we've got better "tradition" than everyone else circle jerk.  A time honored Jayhawk tradition around these parts.

If only you could ever just get it done when it counts, like the rest of your "elite" and real rivals like Duke, UNC, UCLA, Kentucky.  You know, those other schools with a bevy of league titles and piles of McDonald's All Americans.  They're just like you, except they actually win National Titles every once in a while.

Florida with more national title in the last two years than good ol ku in the last 50.

That's really got to blow.

Correction: You CANNOT claim to be elite.  ku can.  And ONLY when James Naismith, Phog Allen, Dean Smith, Adolph Rupp, Wilt Chamberlain etc. etc., become inconsequential names in basketball, will ku no longer be able to call itself "elite".  Until then, our 4 national championships, including 2 in the NCAA tournament era, as well as being in sole possession of first place (a position attained in 2007 -- so stick your "used to" up your you-know-where) in total conference championships speak to ku's domination of the sport, and its proper place among the elite.

ku had a few down years prior to Brown, but KSU has never had a Naismith or a Wilt or a Manning.  If it had, it too might have an NCAA championship banner -- rather than the "Led ku at halftime" one that currently is the pinnacle of success in Bramlage.

James Naismith -- only ku coach with a losing record.  This is like a Royals' fan bragging about how Harmon Killebrew and Gaylord Perry played for them.

Phog Allen -- won 1 NCAA championship, so he's got about half the resume of Billy Donovan.  Decent.

Dean Smith -- couldn't give a crap about ku.  Stabbed them in the back to get Roy to North Carolina, the school Dean loves infinitely more. 

Adolph Rupp -- racist.

Wilt Chamberlain -- couldn't eat on Mass Street.  Stayed as far away from ku as possible for most of the rest of his life.

A tradition of excellence brings excellence: the presence of those like Naismith and Wilt on the ku campus helped ensure that coaches like Larry Brown would arrive to bring forth a National Championship.

In this thread, we have a KSU fan bashing ku for a lack of NC's while a different KSU fan claims KSU has a top 25 tradition even though KSU has won zero NC's.

Only Wildcat fans.
where was that link that said we were like #22? and it said that after 15 years of sucking

I would bet that same list had ku somewhere in the top 5.

So if you believe KSU is a top 25 program historically, then you cannot deny that ku is an elite program historically.  That's quite a conundrum for you Kitty fans.

Salty,

Again, the debate is tradition v. "what have you done lately".  ku probably is an elite program HISTORICALLY.  The whole debate here (which you seemed to have missed) is whether it is better to have great tradition or recent success.  I think most of the people here are laughing at ku's claim of being a current elite program.  Nobody is denying that ku has had some past success.  Take their recent history compared to Florida's though.....

Also, you don't seem to understand why I brought up K-State's ranking on that list.  Mancer was having a hayday with the whole "tradition is better than recent success" rant.  I simply added that in there to shut him up bc I knew there was no way in hell he would keep up with that rant once shown that KSU has great bb tradition, too.  I'm not arguing for the tradition standpoint.  I just wanted to see him stumble and backtrack.  Instead, he shut up once he realized that YES, KSU does have tradition.  Worked better than I imagined it would.

In the last seven seasons, ku has won five conference titles, advanced to five Sweet 16's, four Elite 8's, two Final Fours and played once for the National Championship.  When a program makes it to the Elite 8 more often than not, I think it's more than reasonable to refer to that program as elite.

How many programs do you consider to be elite?  ku is certainly somewhere behind Florida on the "elite basketball program meter", but if you consider 10 to 20 programs to be "elite" then ku would probably fit in that group.

What Naismith and Wilt have done is make ku a "historic" program...oh sure, Wilt was paid handsomely, discriminated against, and almost never came back, but still.  ku has a couple of very fortunate things going for them.  Naismith, a well paid Wilt, Larry Brown hiring Danny Mannings dad, another probation, and mostly, that...

Roy Williams graced their campus as coach during the proliferation of ESPN and the rise of college basketball as a media darling.  Larry Brown hired Danny Mannings dad and, with the help of NCAA violations, was able to win a Nat'l Champ before bolting because he knew he couldn't keep it up.  Roy is a great coach but was pure luck as a hire...and like the 5th choice.  Roy kept ku in the top 5-10 for 15 yrs during the rise of media coverage.  Self is a good recruiter and has continued to get play out of that.

They will rightly point out that it is not against the rules to hire a recruit's dad. 

They will also be correct when they point out Ed's hiring had nothing to do with the fact that they were the first team in the history of college basketball who didn't get a chance to defend their title becuase they broke numerous NCAA rules and were placed on probation for "lack of institutional control."

Did a little research on the "recently elite" teams.  From 2001 to the present, I came up with eight teams I would seperate from the rest (in alphabetical order): Duke, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan State, North Carolina, UCLA and UConn.  Syracuse was left off the list because 2003 (their NC year) was the only year they made it to the Elite 8 and there were multiple years where they didn't make the Tourney.

Out of this group, Florida is clearly #1 and Duke is clearly #2.  After that, it gets tricky.  

Three teams on my list, ku, MSU and UCLA did not win an NC in this time period, but did make it to multiple Final Fours.  The three other teams, Maryland, UNC and UConn all won a NC, but don't have alot on their resume other than that championsip.  All of those teams had at least one year when they didn't make it to the Tourney at all.

Of the six teams vying for positions 3-8, only ku and MSU made the Tournament every year.  None of the teams have more that two Final Fours.  In regards to Elite 8's, ku leads the way with four, MSU has three and everyone else has two.

Looking at the data, one could make a pretty strong case that ku should be #3 on the list.  ku has as many Final Fours as all of the other teams, the most number of Elite 8's and in all seven seasons they've been no lower than a 4 seed in the Tournament.  Being at least a 4 seed every year is even more impressive when you consider that UNC, Maryland and UCLA had multiple seasons of not making the Tourney.  

In any event, ku is at the very least among the top 6 (I think higher, but it's debatable) programs in this decade.  That's elite in my book.

Nice analysis.  However, you are ignoring the fact that ku plays in a football conference while Maryland, UNC, Syracuse and UConn play in basketball conferences.  Of course you are always seeded high - you don't have to play anybody.

Why don't you talk about the actual games that ku has won against high quality opponents instead of claiming to be elite because you took care of the teams that you were supposed to beat? 

Other than Bradley and Bucknell, of course.

I know that Syracuse and Florida beat the piss out of ku and UCLA showed that they were worthless in this year's final four after eliminating the Jayhawks.  That's five extremely unimpressive performances out of seven.  Who were the other two?  And were there any actual quality wins in the last seven years?

Yes, because the Tournament Committee gives no weight to strength of schedule.  Low BBIQ.

Still trying to decipher what you're intending to say here, but I'll give it a shot.  Are you saying that ku was extremely unimpressive in the Tournament five of the last seven years?  If so, I disagree.  2005 and 2006 were certainly disappointing, but ku reached the Sweet 16 in all of the other years and the Elite 8 in four of them. 

As far as quality wins:
5 Seed Syracuse in 2001
4 Seed Illinois and 2 seed Oregon in 2002
3 Seed Duke, 1 seed Arizona and 3 seed Marquette in 2003
8 Seed UAB (just knocked off 1 seed Kentucky) in 2004
4 Seed SIU in 2007

That's eight if I've counted right.

Nice analysis.  However, you are ignoring the fact that ku plays in a football conference while Maryland, UNC, Syracuse and UConn play in basketball conferences.  Of course you are always seeded high - you don't have to play anybody.

Yes, because the Tournament Committee gives no weight to strength of schedule.  Low BBIQ.

LOL.

(Dean was on campus this last year)

It is also interesting that they use Dean Smith to support their "tradition," but they can't introduce him by name when he visits Lawrence because their fans would boo him out of the building.

Dean is part of the ku tradition.  History is what it is.  If he chooses to more closely associate himself with the North Carolina than ku, his choice is entirely understandable.  If some ku fans choose to criticize his choice, this action is also understandable.  Different strokes...

Yep, seeding in the tournament is always awarded based on the season performance and never based on name recognition.  See Duke.

Side note:  I couldn't care less about this debate.

Yes, William, the desire of many of the KSU faithful, who surreptitiously support the university's hirings (of Martin et al) to see ku faithful reduced to sniveling snotbags to retain a coach will once again be disappointed.  We bitched at and about Roy, but our University did not embarass itself over a coach with a one-year residency, whose resume is as &@#%in' tarnished as they come.

Why would ku get name recognition if they weren't elite?

Who was talking about KSU?  Also, I like playing the tradition game.  Based on your philosophy, recruits should be knocking down the doors to come to K-State since we have a Top25 bb program all time.

Go ahead and start back-tracking.  I'll wait. 


KSUCK a top 25 program of all time??  Yeah maybe if you start counting from the bottom  :lol: 


And yes it is about tradition, with Donavan gone Florida will slide back into nothing once again. If Kansas and Florida were to recruit the same player heavily, 9 out of 10 times the kid is coming to Lawrence
daresler.net/info/top/basketball-programs/

there it is douchebag, we are in FACT in the top 25 all time basketball programs.  :ku: < that's you



A. One random website (that also doesnt work) listing KSUCK as a top 25 program doesnt mean @#%$.  Show me something credible from a realistic source or hell show me something that even merits KSUCK being mentioned at all besides the most embarassing streak in college basketball?   So no this does not in fact make you a top program unless like I said peviously...you count from the bottom.  Top programs dont skip out on the postseason for decades at a time retard.

When you are done giving Rush his reach around, read this....
(http://www.nmnathletics.com.edgesuite.net/pics7/200/WT/WTVMIEPKICBBUMJ.20060404235034.jpg)

And you will see we are the top 22 program overall in college basketball. And that was before our number one recruiting class came to town.







Again, one random magazine does not give your shotty program any credibilty. I can name 25 teams off the top of my head who have better programs, none of them which decided to take a quarter of a century (not just 15 years like the retard homer said) break from making any significant runs in the post-season.  Stick to football while you still have something left, before long your be equal in both....at the bottom of the Big12 and on your way to the NAIA
