The Manhattan Project exploded?

[catzacker]

Not good news from Frankie. 

[ksu_FAN]

I heard from a player "don't worry".  HTH

[KSUHuggins]

English Translation?

Oppenheimer not coming?

Kent, Ohio > Manhattan, KS.

Kent freaking Ohio.

Kent, Ohio > Manhattan, KS.

Kent freaking Ohio.

But not necessarily to Josh.

[chum1]

I guess the package player he was supposed to be brining in is wavering.

[yosh]

He's staying because of a player?

[catzacker]

Kent, Ohio > Manhattan, KS.

Kent freaking Ohio.

But not necessarily to Josh.

His wife must have drinking buddies in Kent.

[chum1]

He's staying because of a player?

No, we're not taking him because he's not delivering the goods.  Only reasonable explanation.

[sys]

this has sucked all the fun out of the hill/gtown thing.

Great day.  Benneck leaves, VD is playing in Europe, and Oppenheimer is out because the wife won't come to Manhattan.

Why am I not surprised in the slightest.  After all, WE ARE.....K-STATE!

[yosh]

Blurb from the KC Star:

Also, Martin said Josh Oppenheimer is not yet an official member of his staff as one of his assistants. “We’re still trying to figure out if he can overcome some family issues,” Martin said of Oppenheimer, who has been an assistant at Kent State.

Martin said he is “still interviewing folks” for the assistant job.

Women are pretty dumb.  We never should have let them vote.

End women's Suffrage!  anyway.  Remember one thing.  Even if we didn't get this guy or Vdub, we still have the top recruit in the nation and Bill Walker.  Life is good.

Yeah, we sure have gotten spoiled with this class.  Imagine three years ago, we would have been estatic with a Sutton, Brown, or Pullen and now we are bitching because we don't see any other top 100 guys to add to our (already) number one recruitng class.  Makes me appreciate the years I spent in Manhattan watching a team that probably didn't have one guy that would play any significant minutes on our current squad.  Well, Manny Dies would be a welcome addition to this team.

Kent freaking Ohio.

Did Neil Young ever sing a song about K-State?  No.  We can't be expected to compete with that.

Glenn Campbell?


 

Glenn Campbell - Manhattan Kansas



Manhattan, Kansas ain't no place to have a baby

When you got no man to give it his last name

And her folks back in Manhattan didn't want her or her bundle

So she took her child and caught an evenin' train



She found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner

At least it buys her baby milk to drink

He once told her she was pretty but the only ring it got her

Was the ring of grease that runs around the sink



Yes she lay beside him gentle

'Cause he told her that he loved her

And he made her dance before the music played

But at least she didn't beg him

She'd rather wash her dishes

It makes her feel as if her hands are clean



At night she stands there thinkin'

'Bout the man back home in Kansas

And how her folks just turned away the shame

She stares down through the soap suds

Reaches down and pulls the drain plug

And watches as Manhattan drains away



Yes she lay beside him gentle

'Cause he told her that he loved her

And he made her dance before the music played

But at least she didn't beg him

She'd rather wash her dishes

It makes her feel as if her hands are clean



Yes it makes her feel as if her hands are clean

Hey, I'm not going to say one bad thing about Glen Campbell...the Rhinestone Cowboy...come on, that's solid country gold.

However, I doubt Op's old lady is a big country oldies fan.

Thought I'd check 3 years ago.  Curtis Allen, Fred Peete, Clent Stewart. 

Estatic over Sutton?  Yes.

Brown or Pullen?  Not so much.  Stewart/Allen (on paper) rated better than Brown/Pullen, FWIW.

And Peete was viewed pretty highly, better than Gilbert anyway.  Plus we beat out OSU and OU for him.

Samuels would've been a pretty intriguing prospect then, but not estatic.

Again, the thing that makes this class is 2 top 10 players.  That was literally inconcievable 3 years ago.  Otherwise, the recruits we're getting are about the same as Wooly. 

But the real difference maker IMO in recruiting is those Top 50 kids (and top 10, but those are incredible).  My key for long term is to see if we continue to get top 50, let alone Top 10 kids.

[sonofdaxjones]

Somebody tell her that Manhattan is just like Carolina Coastal towns . . . she'll leave Ohio in a minute, every other freaking Ohio resident does.

Yeah, it's stupid to analyze the 2007 class without Walker and Beasley included.

[KSt8er]

if he buckles to her wants now he'll be doing it forever, and in OH no less.  If he doesn't have the nads we're better off moving on.

[ksu_FAN]

Well, they've been in Pittsburg (2 seasons), Newark (DE, 2 seasons), and Chicago (3 seasons) before Kent (2 seasons).  Its possible she doesn't want to be in another small college town, but its also possible she's tired of moving (and their kids) after the last 10 years.
