I would guess that the list of people are those who Mr. Luman copied on his original message.  I bet (actually I am pretty damn sure) that at least several of those could give a rat's ass about any of this.

Luman got 0wned.

probably wouldn´t have got a response without the cc list though.

by the way, the letter is more of "i am doing a great job, and here is how/why" than a state of the program address.
"these are no longer “games” in the commonly accepted sense of the term. these are free throw shooting contests leavened by the occasional sprint to the other end of the floor."

You ever seen a "State of the Anything" before?

Same thing.

Snyder was such a douche.

Funny how now that he got fired, opposing fans love him, and hate Prince.  Do I sense fear?  Shake 'dem hatas off, Prince.

Not back yet, but getting there. We won the Big 12 North, played in a New Year's Day bowl, and came down to Manhattan for the biennial "kitty roast."

I just love how delusional you guys are. Your head coach sends out a ten page diatribe via email and suddenly you expect everyone to quake in fear. It's pretty amusing. You're the second best team in your own state for God sakes.

Prince can rage and vent however much he wants, but so long as he's bringing fourth-rate recruiting classes to the wasteland that is Manhattan, K-State will struggle to compete with the best teams in the Big 12.

I think one person said that other schools should be afraid . . . one. 

Plus, you have no credibility when your school resides in a state that has 400 ton manure fires and yet you call Manhattan a wasteland.  Lincoln is nowheresville where 225,000 people and a prison decided to reside.  UNL has a but ugly campus, that's dominated by a butt ugly architectural monstrosity of a football stadium and another end of campus actually has railroad tracks going across it.

Plus I laugh at Cornhole State fans who consistantly tell us how good their guys are going to be, and how bad our guys are going to be when not one of them has played a single down of college football.   This is what makes Cornhole State fans so funny, because you actually think Bill Callahan is going to take your football program to where it once was a decade ago . . . he's not going too.

"I try to respond to every letter, email and call so that you do not have to go to tabloid sources for information"

lol.  What a liar.  Like he has enough time in a day to answer all the emails he gets.  If he did that he would have no time to recruit...oh wait a minute, nevermind.

You pretty much fail as a troll, in general.  I group you a step below BMW.  It's not a compliment.

I've sent him two emails and he's responded to both.   Don't tell Tim Weiser.

We are so fortunate to have geographical division play in our conference.  We have a chance each year to compete for the north division title. By winning that game, you are invited to the BCS tournament.

    The very best.
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.

Personally I think someon telnetted to the open port on the mail server and forged the email on Prince's account.  Back in the dark days of my tenure at a Fortune 50 company we used to do that in order to send messages from the company's CEO to our boss.

Prince is basically echoing what I've been saying...just win the damn north every couple of years and great things can happen and everyone will be happy.

For the record, I got the email on probably the 4th or 5th foward.

I tried to backtrack, from my source to their source 'who is a friend of one of the guys that is on the original email' and they didn't have the original email.

so...like I said, feel free to write it off for fake or whatever you wish since I can't confirm or deny validity.

The beauty of my method of forgery is that it comes from the authentic server which makes it tough to prove it was a fake.  Or at least the senior software engineers who received emails from our corporate CEO were never able to successfully prove they were forgeries.   :D

Brad Seib's email ([email protected]) seems legit...

"What it boils down to is that former athletes have the characteristics I look for in superior sales people.  I've interviewed several outstanding applicants from A4H that are exactly what I'm looking for and will continue on through our hiring process." -Brad Seib, MetLife Agency Sales Director

oh please, don't make it sound like you are some uber hacker.  All you have to do is log in as an admin on the exchange machine, put in your CEO's name and list him/her as the default user...send email

I did this on a couple occasions but only because he asked me to do this so he could leave for the day (he already had it written out, but needed to be spell/grammar checked by the secretary.

I've seen this sort of thing before, from executives ... usually immediately prior to an utter disaster.  For the benefit of the students in the crowd: if you get emails like this from executives in your employer's organization *RUN* don't walk but *RUN* for the nearest exit.  If you fail to be an early adopter of the "I'm getting the &@#% out of here while the getting's good" attitude you might get trampled.  Change is good and it does create vast opportunities but only for those who are at the top of the game driving the changes, if you're along for the ride watch out.

I like Prince and I think he's both a bright and sincere guy.  I also think the odds against him having any significant success at KSU are long.  And this email does smell more than a bit of desperation.

I think this is more akin to a new CEO/President having to answer tough questions from shareholders. You see this as doom/gloom, a sinking ship type of email, while I see it as a "You want the truth? Things were a mess when I arrived and yes changes are being made whether you agree or not. Times they are a'changin. There's a news sheriff in town and his name is Reggie Hammonds." This isn't the type of email you send to employees. This is the type of message that gets sent to disgruntled shareholders who want to know why the company wasn't performing as it had in the past, who are also wondering just WTF you are doing to correct things.

And before you make some comment about my possible lack of business experience, I do indeed have plenty of it....
