At the KC event, we asked Frank about Sutton, and Frank said Sutton is a go for this year.  I've been sweating that one, so it was nice to hear.  Although, there still seems to be an air of mystery about it.

I expect this thread to be titled "Martin at KC event" or something like that followed by a post with 7-10 bullet points.  :(

LOL.

What else was said?

Frank gave rave reviews of how well the team is working together.  He said out of all his years being around basketball, this team is coming together more quickly than any he has ever seen.  He seemed really excited about that.  

Said the Florida A&M game is officially signed and done for the Sprint Center in late December.

Clent said Jake looks good at the point, but that Fred likely won't spend any time at point...not really shocking.

Beasley is prone to car sickness.

Walker, Beasley, and Hoskins said that this  :eyeseeyou: is officially "out" now.  That disappointed me.  No word on what the new "one" is, despite our repeated requests.

Wyatt is quite possibly the biggest nerd I have ever seen speak in public...but seems sincere.  Said we'd "kick ku's ass" this year in football.  Yep, he said "ass."

Keitz basically told the players that they are the saviors of the program and placed what amounts to the biggest burden in the history of KSU sports on their backs...good firey speech by KK.  Got the blue hairs in a tizzy.

Lon Floyd has a marvelous head of hair.  Quite striking in person.

Jack Par is tall.  A bit taller than Beasley.  Jack claims that he can "judge people well" and that Frank is a great guy...so we got that going for us.  Apparently Jack's wife is quite fond of Cotton Fitzsimmons.

Jerry Lawson kicked off the event with a nice racist joke about middle eastern people.  That was hilariously awkward, and offputing.  Nearly lost the beer through my nose after that one.

Also, Frank's wife is black.  I didn't know that.  I have zero problem with that....I just didn't know, surprised me a bit.

LOL at your awkwardness with the middle eastern joke and following it up with that.

What kind of mystery was it when he mentioned Sutton...ominous or "you won't be happy" or "you will be suprised" or what?  Good report so far btw.

Ya, that came out wrong.... I think that has to be a good thing that Frank's wife is black.  OR, can we not even talk about that?  Seriously, I have no idea...looking for clarification on that point.

Here's the thing, he seemed kinda vague about it.  Plus, Clent seemed like I was asking him to tell me the combination to his families Swiss bank account when I asked him about it.

They both said that Sutton would be here, but they seemed reluctant to speak about it....and not annoyed, but rather "well, I really shouldn't talk about this, but yeah, he'll be here at some point" kinda vibe.  I'll officially be wigged about this until I see Sutton on the court in a game.

I asked him the same thing and it was sort of an awkward smile and nod, not a "hell yes he will be here"

I interpreted it as a "he intends to be here but we will see" sort of answer.  Until he is officially not coming, they gave the right answer for this type of event.  Everyone is supposed to be positive.  I left with a heck of a buzz and visions of Big XII titles in both sports dancing in my head so they did their job.

the food blew.

Probably because they have no idea why they had 50 drunks continually asking about him.  As in "why the f*ck do people keep asking about Sutton?!?".

Good point...did somebody preface the question with: "There are rumors that he isn't coming, and I can't tell if it's fellow KSU fans just trying to bait Jayhawks or not." ?

Ha!  Have we finally baited to the point we baited ourselves!?  It was bound to happen.  It's like a snake eating it's own tail.

If I'm not mistaken, the root of all this was/is the fact that Sutton is not in the white pages.  I would say that if Sutton was 100%, without a doubt at KSU and practicing with the team and everything was fine, you'd hear that…instead you hear "he'll be there".  Now, maybe part of that is responding to the tens of hundreds of fans that asked them the same question over and over again.

Clent Stewart is a very sharp dressed young man.

He may try playing in Europe.  Not sure if he wants to get into coaching or not.  Is from Tulsa, NOT Broken Arrow.

I would also like to add there was some definite Cat-Lab esque videos shown.

And the A/V production was some of the worst since my 8th grade powerpoint on Ross Perot.

I will definitely miss    :eyeseeyou:
