    You can't be racist and like basketball.
You're the one on record saying you don't know what impact it had, but you're still upset about it.  That's what I find hilarious.  No clue what the situation is, how it's changed, etc. but it still pisses you off.

I don't need to know the exact impact to know it's a dumb idea.  Doing anything that could possibly burn a bridge with an important recruiting figure is a bad idea, just like it's a bad idea for a salesman to burn a bridge with a potential major customer.

You've missed the mark here.  My focus is almost always homers.  Jeff Martin, Ron Prince, and Brian Butler are all incidental for me.  I just jump in where the homers do.


Quote
No, it was an article about Brian Butler and/or Arthur Brown.  Whatever the exact topic is, it is much, much smaller than the recruitment of Kansas grads by Kansas universities.  That topic is really much too large to tackle in a newspaper article, don't you think? 


Quote
There is a lot of value in it.  And reporters do it literally all of the time.  I'm afraid that you're just wrong.


Quote
Let's just cut the BS.  You like it because it makes you feel good about KSU.
That's an altogether stupid assessment.  That's a well written article about a guy that is considering KSU.  And he's not even our top target.  But it has a ton of information.  And very little of the information is about KSU, it's mostly about Wes and his AAU coach.

Your hangup is that you still think I came over from Rivals.  Here's a tip, I don't have a subscription, and don't read the boards there.  What kills me is how tightly wrapped around the axle the posters here get on the Butler/J-Mart issue....while at the same time poking fun at people that over react to Prince issues. 

If you can't see the irony....it's your tardness getting in the way.

Believe me, folks that are ballistic over Prince in this deal are just as asinine as those ballistic over Butler.

 
Quote
There are plenty of stories other than Arthur Brown that are of major interest.  That's not what makes this different.  People are getting bent out of shape due to an article that they perceive to be negative.

Is there a bigger recruit that KSU is after in football?  What other football stories are out there that are bigger?  You're really, really starting to flail now.  You know it's a big story, otherwise you wouldn't still be talking about it.

So it's not when something happens that you go ballistic, it's when something could happen?

Don't you think that kind of overreaction is what defines Powertards?

You know, the Powertard behavior of getting upset over what folks say negative about Prince because it could have a negative impact on recruiting?  That's classic Powertard behavior.

But you're doing the same thing with the Prince firing off a jab at Butler.

You're clearly more intelligent than the other bottom feeders I'm dealing with, tell me you can at least see that similarity.  Or is it that hard to look in the mirror?

Can anyone try to make a point without accusing someone else of being a powertard or a powertard analogue?  I hope not.  I love it.

Why don't you shut up and keep this thread on topic -- TARD!

Martin got laid into pretty good on this board after the article came out.  It isn't like there wasn't multiple threads, multiple pages long in which people jumped all over Martin and Butler.  I don't really see anyone going ballistic.  People made comments about how they didn't think it was very smart for Prince to say what he said at the Catbacker event, and then it was everyone else who got their panties in a wad over questioning the almighty coach.

Does anyone else besides KSU4ME honestly think I'm going "ballistic"?  LMK.

If you can't recognize the subtle differences between "folks" saying negative things about Prince on an anonymous internet message board and Prince saying negative things about Butler in his hometown....well, I just can't help you there.

Besides, even if Prince's Butler comments don't have an effect on recruiting at all, it's a glaring sign of incompetence, at best.

Keep posting about it.

And I was wrong.  You're clearly not brighter than some of the other dims on this board.  I never compared saying negative things about Prince to Prince saying negative things about Butler.  Not once.  How you came to that conclusion can only be explained through thorough medication and professional therapy.

I compared powertards over reacting to negative anonymous message board comments about KSU/Prince to the tards here over reacting to any anonymous message board comment negative towards Butler/J-Mart.

Is it starting to make sense to you yet?

3. Do you attack anyone who dares question something a Wichita Reporter or Wichita "handler" does? <-- The criteria that puts Rusty, Waks and yourself firmly in the tard bucket.  Like I said, your behavior is exactly the same as a Powertard, it's just a different subject that sets you off.  Tard is as tard does, and you're all over it.
I don't care if you question J-Mart for anything. It doesn't matter to me. Everyone is subject to criticism. I mean, I like the guy, but I've disagreed with him on numerous occasions. I even think that a negative bias shows in some of his articles that he writes about Prince. What I do care about is that you've turned this ridiculous thread into four pages of crap and that you continually make this thread go on and on with meaningless drivel. This is a dead issue. There is no point to discuss it any further.


And thanks for taking things out of context, too. I said that Prince should talk to Butler about whatever problems it is that Butler has with the football program (since he does hold the key to some of the biggest targets we've ever been after). One of them being Delarue and the treatment of Kansas kids. I don't think he necessarily needs to explain why he doesn't take this recruit and that recruit, but he should try and stay in good graces with Butler and not bash the guy in a public forum.

I've turned this into a ridiculous thread?  The tards around here turned one sentence uttered at a Catbacker event about a Wichita handler into the decisive issue of Wildcat football.  It's utterly hilarious.

Do you even know how many Wichita or Kansas kids Butler is the gatekeeper to?  How about how many Wichita kids Prince has signed?  If Butler is such a player for Wichita talent, and Prince has screwed up the relationship, how is he signing Wichita kids in every class?

Prince needs to explain to Butler why he felt that Delarue did not deserve a scholarship.

Please explain how that was taken out of context.  Words have meanings, are you unaware of what those meanings are?

By the way...keep posting.  My goal is to hit 10 pages before mid-July.

It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Butler is the keeper of 50+ kids ranging from seventh graders to high school seniors. Prince hasn't signed any of his kids (the ones with talent).

Names?

Or do you think because someone went to his event they are beholden to his collegiate advice?

Could you be that daft?
