So when a bunch of pre-printed championship gear doesn’t pan out, they ship it to impoverished countries. What does the conference do with the extra trophs they assemble for ties that don’t end up happening? What a collector’s item one would be.

I guess our E8 doesn't count as a success last year, and he conveniently leaves out the 5th year back (B12 Champs).That was 6 years ago

I have never really watched this senior class, having only watched one complete KSU basketball game in the last 4 years (court-side with Kat Kid for the KU game 3 years ago), but isn't this the oscar way? The mid major style build up one good class, then suck for a few years, rinse and repeat? That's more than what most schools ever get to experience, but isn't that about the high water mark in terms of expectations for oscar. Won't this team suck next year? I look at the stats and no one else does jack crap except for these seniors.

What a collector’s item one would be.They probably have them in the conference rooms around the Big 12 headquarters as one of the things where you throw your cell phone in there before the meeting begins, so you can focus on "being here now" during the meeting. Part of the championship culture of the conference.

I look at the stats and no one else does jack crap except for these seniors. For years and years this is what we all wanted though, at least many of us. K-State was never going to recruit at the level needed to be a reloading program. Sure, we had the Huggins/Dalonte run, but that recruiting wasn't ever going to be repeatable or regular here. Frank spoiled us a bit because he had only 1 real rebuild year and that resulted in an NIT, then he kept it going for 3 straight NCAAs, but the regression was there and a rebuild year (or years) was bound to come if he had stayed. His late recruiting was basically on par with what oscar is doing; getting a few 100-150 ranked guys and piecing together others that are just outside that. Its a winning formula here if you have a coach and staff (and fans) that will stick with it.

Don’t lie to me on this one it’s very important. Do you know who this player is and have you seen it before now?https://twitter.com/espn/status/1100175885938974720?s=21
