“Good turkey, stuffing, candy yams, rice and the biggest chunk of sweet potato pie as you can find.”That, my K-State friends, is basketball coach Frank Martin’s perfect turkey dinner.On this day of giving thanks, OSR went to Kansas State’s two basketball programs to get a feel for what the Wildcat coaches, and young people of 2009 are thankful for.Deb Patterson offered, “I’m so tremendously thankful for being here at Kansas State. I’m thankful for the unbelievable magnitude of blessings from God that I have received, which includes this life that I get to lead. I’m grateful each day to be with the people I’m surrounded by. Those are people I get to love, and they love me.”Frank Martin said, “I’m thankful for every opportunity that has been given to me in my life. That’s my family, to my professional experiences. That, and the health that the good Lord has given me, my wife, my kids and my mom. That, and all the great players that I’ve been fortunate to coach and be a part of their lives. I’ve been around so many great players that have allowed me to move forward as a basketball coach and make a career out of it.”And here are the thoughts of several Wildcat basketball players:Jacob Pullen“A lot of people don’t get this opportunity to play basketball. A lot of people in high school were ranked ahead of me in Chicago, but as time goes on, they’ve faded away and not had the opportunity to play on the national stage like I am. I give thanks for that every day.”Taelor Karr“Family.”Brittany Chambers“Family and the gifts God has given me to play college basketball.”Kelsey Hill“Family and friends who really care about me.”Denis Clemente“I’m thankful for my family, my grandmother got to see me play last week back home (Puerto Rico).” Brandy Brown“Opportunities in life and my family.”Shalin Spani“The Lord, family, friends, coaches and teammates.”Dominique Sutton“My family. I give thanks for having two little girls (3 years and 7 months) and look forward to hearing their voices today.”Ashley Sweat“A loving family and amazing teammates and boyfriend.”Mariah White“Family and being on a team where we care for each other and love one another as sisters.”Jamar Samuels“Being a Wildcat and the opportunities that I’ve had at K-State.”Jalana Childs“Getting the opportunity to be a part of something that actually has meaning.”Alina Voronenko“Having a Christian family that raised me to not take anything for granted.”Kari Kincaid“I have been blessed with a loving, healthy family. I am thankful to play for such a special program with wonderful coaches, teammates and fans.”
