The funniest thing of all is that Tardville used to always say stuff about Malibu to Manhattan with an overtone of; nobody would think that if it was Malibu to Lawrence.


Always good for a laugh.

Look no further than the newest additions to the AD, look at what they do, and then look at the people who were let go.

This really isn't rocket surgery folks.

I do feel badly for one person who got canned . . . because I think it was solely because her boss got canned as well, and IMO he did her no favors . . . plus the previous regimes did these people no favors.

As I said in chat, Lu thrilled us with 3 or 4 of the worst shots coming out of a K-State player since Ham Strickland was wearing the Purple.

$20 million dollars on a basketball facility.   That's a ton.  The NBA OKC franchise just built a state of the art basketball facility in downtown OKC for $15 million.   Duke spent $15 million, $20 million is more than Kentucky and Texas spent on theirs, I am pretty sure it's more than Indiana spent on the one they are building now, and it's about the same as Virginia Tech spent on theres and it's awesome.   

In the current construction climate, the only way this is going to to be "half ass" is IF they only spend about $10 million.    If they spend all $20 million on the basketball facility in today's hyper aggressive, desperate construction bidding process . . . it's going to be one hell of a facility.

That being said. . . I won't hold my breath.

Likely not connected because it would require that Bramlage have all kinds of code upgrades done to it.

Plus never underestimate all the BS the State is going to run you through for a project like that.

Maybe he should have gone a year earlier Ben.  

But I see it didn't take you long to get right back into "no perceived slight of ku will go unchallanged" mode.

These things always take time.   With the delays in the gridiron club mean further delays to things like the outdoor track.  7 years minimum from the new outdoor track concept being put on paper to actual dirt moving, and 7 years is a stretch to say the least, a whole bunch of other stuff has to happen based on current plans to finance the construction of that facility.

KSU is asking the Board of Regents to amend the FY 2010 Capital Projects List to include a $20 million dollar basketball practice/operations facility AND . . . $2.1 million dollars in new restrooms for the upper level of OBFS.  2 Practice courts, all new offices for both men and women, dressing rooms, sports medicine/hydrotherapy, lounges etc. etc.   If they spend the entirety of the $20 million on this facility it will be one of the nicest facilities of its kind in the country. 

Please note that this doesn't ALWAYS mean it will happen in the FY that they amend, but in most cases it does happen.

Based purely on the formula that this guys is talking about using . . . K-State is firmly in the Top 64.

But that won't be the formula . . . thing is, IMO the super conferences will be more inclusionairy than exclusionairy.

People aren't lending enough credence to the political climate that's casting a wary eye toward both the NCAA and BCS.   Attempts to be exclusionary are going to be met with piles of litigation and political interference IMO.   

That being said, I believe K-State will be fine from a BCS or BCS type participation conference . . . . TV and exposure could very well be an issue.

Okay some had a flailing hand in their face, that got there just after they released the ball after the shooter had a chance to set, square and fire.

Good point.

The guy has a couple of good points.   But I think he's completely misguided on the legal/political piece.

If those 64 attempted to leave the NCAA and start their Uber athletic association . . . I personally believe there would be a mountain of litigation, and massive piles of political interference.    There's a whole bunch of schools with their lawyers, and their politicians in their hip pocket that will fight that to the bitter end.   There's no way a BYU, Iowa State,  Boise State, or a Fresno State lets that happen without filing lawsuit after lawsuit, the entire MAC would file suit . . . it would be endless.

Um my idea of a "well contested" shot is the shooter struggling just to get it out of his hands.

Not the shooter completely squared up, set, getting a perfect delivery pass with some defender flying out at the last second to "get a hand in his face".
