1).  i like the phrase "playfully lecherous co-eds" but it's wasted in the same sentence that denies "Kansas State" a possessive apostrophe.  does no one employ editors anymore?

2).  martin missed his best opportunity this year to inform the nation that he's 40.  and a man.

3).  the  :blank: is the hardest emoticon to use effectively, imo.

4).  ksu should probably hire malone to dobo next year.  he could telecommute from dc.

to be fair, it might be a filter on the website so that the Kansas State link shows up.

very good point.  in that case dd should have accounted for that and used "the kansas state ...".


he's halfway off the hook, imo.

I think the comment about Martin missing the opportunity to inform the world that he's 40 and a man was the equivalent of the hammer meeting the nail.   :thumbsup:

I'll bet it would have been less painful for Dodd to pass a 5 lb kidney stone than to write that article.   :lol:

Dodd sucks.  This isn't central Kansas.  This is northeastcentral Kansas.  Get it right, DD.  Terrible article.   :jerkoff:

Or just northeastern Kansas will work.  It's in the northern third of the state and the eastern third of the state.

More importantly, Dodds saying KSU was adrift for "decades in irrelevancy" is a stretch.  It has been precisely 2 decades since we last played to go to the Final Four (1987-88).  After that, we went back to the NCAA tournament in 4 of the next 8 years.  Prior to that, of course, we were a regular.  So, to use the term "decades" is Dodds stretching to bash KSU (no surprise).

arguing semantics about how many decades that we've sucked for makes no sense.  imo.

I agree 100% with those who think that the article is basically a hatchet job.

Good article.  Fun to read.  Why would anybody gripe about a positive article?  And knowing chum's board persona, he's fishing for carp.
