John Currie Thinks You're Stupid is going to look great on a t-shirt. (All proceeds going to Fatty's Fund, of course.)
How can we get Currie fired?

Can we frame him by putting a dead hooker in his trunk?
get Malone to Western Union $200 to Currie via Dillons
Face it you are way outnumbered by "fan" like thiseff you.....
:facepalm:
Anybody even remotely thinking about getting rid of Currie has a serious problem. K-State athletics has NEVER been in such good shape, not even close. The mess with Prince was solved, we have a fantastic new BB facility about ready to open and an Icon-type West Side addition to BSFS breaking ground. All toll about $100 million in new construction. This all happened in 3 years under John Currie. The previous 100 years combined didn't amount to that and some jerks on here are ready to trade it all in for a coach that left by choice. My God, coaches leave every job, that's how the game goes. But finding someone who was able to turn a joke of an AD into a prime example of how an athletic dept. should be run is inded a rare find. John Currie is on the verge of being the 2nd Miracle in Manhattan. We'll find out when the new HCBB is announced and how the new guy produces.
How soon some people forget or is it a case of not knowing the history of K-State's Athletic Dept. Either way you never had it so good. Take time to stop and smell the roses before taking such radical reaction and suffering the consequences. EMAW!!!.

You may want to review your report cards from grade school under the section labeled "reading". Seems to me that was a rant about the good things that Currie has done and not about Weber. :dunno:

You mean if the football field were real grass instead of artificial turf? Yeah, sure.
I like the banner idea. I think we can raise enough money. However, I think we need to set targets. I don't know if we could pull this together fast enough but a banner over Kauffman stadium on openning day would send the message and get news coverage. Graduation in May would also be a good target for attention.
I think a shirt saying "John Currie hates K-State" would be pretty amazing.

So Currie blew into town & handed Prince a check to make him go away. Big deal, anyone here could've handled that situation in the same manner and likely at equal or lower cost.
Make no mistake: Huggie & Frank built the basketball practice facility. If Huggie doesn't come to Manhattan and leave us with a winning hoops staff the first dollar is never committed to that particular white elephant. Now, with a shiny new $20M practice facility set to open, a preseason Top 25 team returning, an NCAA appearance next season being a floor for expectations & having just run off a coach who had more success in less time at KSU than Lon Kruger, Tex Winter, Jack Hartman, etc., the best Currie can do is a slow-motion train wreck who couldn't perform at an institution with massive natural advantages that KSU simply doesn't have (and a recruiter who brings in lots of talent ... who apparently isn't coming to Manhattan). All for the low low price of 20+% more than we were just paying the most successful coach in KSU history. Call it the "Currie Tax", the money way above market we're paying for guaranteed mediocrity.
The football expansion is great. But now it's time to recognize that what John Currie can do for Kansas State he has already done. He's reached the end of his utility for KSU athletics because the major & much needed facilities upgrades are already happening or are imminent (yes I am aware that there exists a never-ending wish list).
Going forward Currie's primary function will be to retain successful coaches in & hire well for the two sports that drive the department and whose success is necessary for the success of the department. He's already failed to retain the most successful coach in the history of KSU basketball. In his first hire he's failed miserably in overpaying for guaranteed mediocrity ... at best. I continue to believe that this hire serves John Currie's interests in that the disaster will unfold only over a few years thus giving him plenty of time to claim credit for next year's NCAA Tournament appearance & exit well before the horrific nature of the hire becomes undeniable. He's a self-serving little weasel who should be tarred & feathered and run out of town on a rail for what just transpired in the basketball program.

This one is WAY better. Also put currie's face on a chicken suit with "I hate Chicken Currie" I was going to try it, but I'm no kougs.
Here is my hope. Keep in mind that this is only how I hope it plays out.:thumbs:
1) Weber made no friends with his Bill Self funeral. If Self is any kind of a friend to Frank, he'll unleash the hounds on Weber and beat us by 55 for the next 3 years.
That should send the $ donors into a frenzy. Weber is fired and he leaves in disgrace and his voice actually goes up 3 octaves as he blames it all on the players.
It is my hope that John Currie is given the Braveheart treatment. His shoulders and hips should be dislocated. Following that he should be disemboweled. Then as he slowly bleeds out, the guillotine raises and he is asked to say his final words. In his last breath he is about to cry out something (probably "Rocky Top"), but I cut loose the blade and it slices through his neck and his head rolls into a basket.
The crowd screams out EEEEEMAW!
The severed head is delivered to Western Union with 200$ and a forwarding address to hell.

Can we frame him by putting a dead hooker in his trunk?

OUR FALLBACK PLAN:
3 ways to get rid of Currie:
1) some misfortune befalls him
2) he gets fired
3) he quits
#3 might actually be the easiest to facilitate. We start submitting his resume every opportunity we get. We should start with the NCAA compliance office, or whoever the eff it is that we think is going to burn down KSU for Jamar's $200 but is ok with Cam Newton. Clearly they need him. Send that rough rider in every week until he gets an offer he can't refuse. We should also nominate him for any political office that would suit his ego enough to get him to leave. Know a big donor with a major corporation? Send the resume. Know some NARCs? Send the resume. Do this enough, eventually he will go. Notice I omitted sending to to athletic departments, because after this clusterfuck, there is no way anyone will want him.

If he worked for the NCAA and not for K-State, we would get away with far more. If you are going to start a pot operation, you don't want the NARCs living next door....you want them as far away as possible, and you want your neighbor to be your lookout.

This isn't about frank you stupid eff.
Many of you stupid bastards missed the point of my post. I certainly am not trying to defend Currie in this fiasco. The paragraph defending Currie is a cut and paste from another board. It is not my opinion. I was simply trying to point out that many tucks like the crap out of Currie because of his fund raising expertise. By the way watch who you call a stupid eff needledick :chainsaw:

It is my view that death threats and violent fantasies are not very helpful when trying to argue with someone.
My issue, really "the" issue with Currie is his handling on the men's basketball program.
As a result for the first time since 2000 I am no longer attending or giving money to the department till both are gone.
I understand that strategy of banners/harassment is an efficient strategy. However I'm not sure that being/appearing to be an insufferable prick creates an environment that lends itself to finding a replacement. Scorched earth will work the problem the burnt out shell that remains is our own not Curries.
The power is in the purse strings don't contribute and let them know why.
p.s. eff Currie eff Webber

Yes. This isn't, "John Currie mumped us!" It is, "Any success under John Currie's tenure isn't his doing and we will be unsuccessful going forward with his incompetent leadership."

Man, do you guys remember when JC floated that Tad Boyle rumor out there to lull The College of Charlestown into a false sense of security then he snapped up a shocked oscar Weber for $1.5 million?

We need to get to the donors. We need over half of them threatening to discontinue their donations until Currie and Weber are gone. But how o we reach them? The important ones are most likely not on the internet, and they definitely aren't on goEMAW or twitter.

Exposure first. Flyers, banners, web site. Somebody should purchase some billboards in KC and Wichita. The message is simply to urge other donors to communicate to Breadstix what the consequences will be if Currie is not fired.

We had the money raised, and the flight scheduled for the Fire Prince airplane banner, and then they canned him. I then refunded all the money to the donors without incident.
We could do the same thing again.

That's longer than what they can do. It's much easier logistically to do "FIRE CURRIE." Get more passes, less gas, etc. If you'd still be in for that amount, your generous gift would go a long way in making this happen.
Also, you cannot fly over during the game. It's limited to a hour before, or an hour after an event a stadium. Last time with Prince, we had it lined up for 5-6 passes around the stadium an hour before kickoff. We were using the same group that did the "FIRE GIBBS" banners for OU, out of Florida. They were going to fly up to Salina, prep, and then do the fly-overs around the stadium.

We had the money raised, and the flight scheduled for the Fire Prince airplane banner, and then they canned him. I then refunded all the money to the donors without incident.
We could do the same thing again.
I'm in for $500 if it actually says, "eff John Currie Right In the Ass!!!". :blank:
That's longer than what they can do. It's much easier logistically to do "FIRE CURRIE." Get more passes, less gas, etc. If you'd still be in for that amount, your generous gift would go a long way in making this happen.
Also, you cannot fly over during the game. It's limited to a hour before, or an hour after an event a stadium. Last time with Prince, we had it lined up for 5-6 passes around the stadium an hour before kickoff. We were using the same group that did the "FIRE GIBBS" banners for OU, out of Florida. They were going to fly up to Salina, prep, and then do the fly-overs around the stadium.
The billboards around Manhattan run about $350/month I believe...no idea what setup charges are. I think Thomas Sign has a shitload of them.

See, that seems incredibly more effective to me. I know it's not as wild-sounding as an airplane, but it'll be up for at least a month. Every media outlet will be able to go cover it. Word will get out, and people will go out of their way to see it.
"Seriously, there's a fire currie billboard near the mall? I gotta see this thing."

Yeah much more effective even if it's not as much fun. But a month? Seriously? I mean if there was $2k there for a "Fire Prince" airplane banner it should be no trick at all to keep a billboard up through football season.
I like the simple yet effective message of "Fire Currie" on a billboard and/or airplane banner. It gets the point across without making it incredibly easy for our opponents to dismiss us as acting like adolescents.

Yes, but I'd want instead of or in addition to Fire Currie, firejohncurrie.com or whatever it is that's currently routing people here to be on it. And we need that site to go towards a professional-looking, well-thought-out statement as to why Currie needs to go.
That way we get incredible value - the shock value of the billboard, plus getting a large percentage of people aware of the billboard to go to the site.
Guys, keep in mind that we need a groundswell of opposition against Currie in order to be able to pull this off. That means we have to get a good segment of normal fans AND shirt tucks on our side. Flying a banner with something profane like "eff john currie right in the ass" would be hilarious, but it would turn off a LOT of people who would deem it as excessively tacky.

I think EMAWgeddon can fly planes.
I'm also pro-billboard. We never had to find out last time, but I still think we may get more bang for the buck with a billboard that sits in Manhattan listing firejohncurrie.com or whatever that takes one to a list of Currie's atrocities against EMAW.
I too like the idea of public, recorded mocking whenever he's out and about. PapEMAWzzi.
Someone in the KC or Wichita areas contact someone who does media buys. Here's what we need:
--A well-done Web site explaining the reason for our disdain for Currie and what K-Staters can do about it (include links to active social media)
--Half or full-page ads in Sunday editions of the Star and Eagle
--Billboards along high-traffic thoroughfares in KC and Wichita
--Possibly a TV spot on the local news. Probably a great way to go here.
--Airplane banner at Royals' opening day
--Volunteers handing out flyers at various events
There's no reason we can't pull together enough dough to get this done soon. Let's get it done.

How about if we make a compromise on that and go with "Fire John Currie Right in the Ass"?

This should be in full swing by the Spring Game. We should form a LARGE protest outside the southeast gates by the practice facility. Picket signs, chants, megaphones, and refusing to go into the game

Heh.
I do suggest we try and make things as witty and creative as possible along with facilitating serious discussion about Currie's role with the university. It's hard to do all at the same time, but if we can make that happen it'd be best. Profanity should be tempered whenever possible for this process. It'll be hard convince people on the fence or tucks that will listen to reason if we're dropping f-bombs while trying to be funny. It's very possible to be utterly damning and sarcastic without uttering a single profane word, and that's what we should aim for when we're presenting stuff in the public arena such as billboards and cause-specific websites rather than the semi-public arena we have on this board. There will be GPC and kstatefans tucks who will link the campaign back to us and discredit us immediately because that's their predisposition, and we will have a very difficult time changing their minds. But reaching Mr. John Q. Average K-State Fan is possible, and that's who we should aim our campaign towards.
My God. Currie has no clue what's coming his way. This will be another glorious chapter for us 1%ers (non tucks).
Currie has completely mumped us, but..
In the end, EMAW always wins.
Probably LukeToPay, but does everyone know goEMAW was mentioned in the KC Star today?
I tried to take the war to youtube but comments have been disabled on the "Welcome oscar Webber" video put out by K-State.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLuHR5CwXqM&feature=relmfu
That pisses me off. From what I can see it is the only video of the several hundreds they have put out that has the comments disabled. Currie is trying to silence dissent on the issue at every turn. GIVE IT A THUMBS DOWN. TURN THE BAR RED.

Hate to be the one to break it to you retards but nothing done by anyone here, with the possible exception of writing a check to the athletic department that contains a minimum of eight figures to the left of the decimal point, is going to facilitate a serious discussion of Currie's role in the university. There are two possible outcomes: infamy or pathos. Given the tone here we can pretty well surmise exactly where this is headed.

Rome was brought to its knees by nomadic barbarians. I see no reason why we can't do the same.

Just wish there was some hungry young journalist wishing to pursue it.

We really need to run with the narrative of what John Currie would do to this football program if Snyder leaves while he's still here. That should terrify even the 'tucks.

Nope, they'll be very reassured after the 2012-2013 hoops season when Weber take the team back to the NCAA Tournament. The "all clear" will sound & it'll be 'tuck heaven as Currie chooses Snyder's replacement while 'tucks the world over bask in the glow of an apparently successful hire in the men's hoops program. By the time they realize what's happening Currie will have mumped the entire department & will have bailed for greener pastures.

Won't have any practical impact though. Best outcome is pointing at the centerfield fence now & being able to say, "See, I told you rough ridin' morons this was going to happen!" later. But by that time Currie will be AD at Tennessee, we'll have promoted Sean Snyder to HC & Weber will be sporting a purple neck brace.

Regarding billboards, I really don't think it's necessary to have them in other places besides Manhattan, or even have them be in the most prominent spot.
It's the fact that somebody was pissed enough to buy a billboard that says Fire John Currie that will get the media to do a story on it. Those stories are more important than the view of the billboard.
We had what, a dozen dudes with poster board signs out there yesterday? That was covered by many media outlets. Are people talking about having personally seen guys in headbands, or are they talking about having read about a protest in today's paper or seeing it on the local news?
Do the most cost-effective "big" thing, and then let the media spread it for us.
Maybe we should put a "John Currie doesn't TSC" billboard up in Lawrence for giggles.
Fair point, although at least one billboard on I-70 might get much, much more exposure than one in MHK. We're talking about going from local/state media covering it to potentially going national since non-fans will see it on their way to/from the coasts. It'll get casual KSU fans aware and interested too.
My brother in law's relative donated a significant amount of money for the BTF and was recognized at half time of a fb game this season. I'll try and gain an audience.

Why would the Griswolds driving by it in the family truckster make it get national attention?
I mean, yeah, if we can get them in prominent locations, that's great. I just don't think it's necessary for what we need, and I wouldn't want to delay action to raise thousands of dollars when we can have a billboard up for a few hundred bucks this week, and instantly see DISGRUNTLED FANS ESTABLISH ANTI-CURRIE BILLBOARD AND WEBSITE headlines throughout the Kansas and KC media.
:dunno:
I've been gone all day but I support the billboard plan.
What's the next step? Scouting out all of the possible spots, getting the prices, and then voting on where to start? I'd be happy to help here, just let me know.

Go find billboard spots. I keep thinking of one across from what I think is 3rd or 4th street near where the McCullough building is, that when I was there, I thought was an odd place for a billboard. Probably gone now. If it's there, it's gotta be cheap and would be as effective as anything. But wherever, just look for open spots that will be easy for media types to photograph/film.
So, firejohncurrie.com. Is that what we're going with? We need to get the owner of that on board (I presume he or she is as they currently have it going to The Fire John Currie Kansas State Basketball Board on goEMAW.com.
We may want to call Thomas Sign Co. at (785) 537-2010. They do billboard work and may know of open spots.
I think you guys are misidentifying the moment given the reality of the situation. Consider the expectations / probable outcomes for the program given the level of returning talent and Weber's well-established glide path:lol...this whole thread makes me think of the movie Animal House
2012 - 2013: Sweet Sixteenu
2013 - 2014: NCAA Tournament
2014 - 2015: Post-season, probably NCAA / NIT bubble
2015 - ????: CBA / CIT bubble in perpetuity
And the corresponding 'tuck responses:
2012 - 2013: "Weber is clearly better than Martin! Neither Frank nor Huggie got this far in their first year! We're so lucky to have Weber!"
2013 - 2014: "NCAA Tournament in the first two years! Frank didn't do that! Weber is soooooo much better than Frank it's not even funny!"
2014 - 2015: "Post season baby! Two NCAAs & one NIT in his first three years, just like Frank! Weber may be the best coach in KSU basketball history!"
2015 - ????: "He's a nice guy. Look at all the success he had in his first three years, clearly he just needs a little more time."
If you guys actually succeed in starting an honest conversation about John Currie's place at Kansas State right now you'll probably find a statue of Currie right next to Ernie Barrett out in front of Bramlage no later than next year. And as a final "eff You!" to KSU hoops fans on his way out the door, Currie will dust off that 10-year rolling lifetime contract Snyder had and sign Weber to the same deal at a salary just a bit higher than KU is paying Self. By all means, if that's the sort of outcome you're looking for then go right ahead and try to have a polite conversation about Currie's performance because right now he's fitting y'all for clown suits.
No, this is very clearly not a, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" moment. Heck, it's not even an, "Ich bin ein jelly donut!" moment. No, this is undeniably a, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!?" moment. The Marquess of Queensbury rules are *not* in effect. What is called for here is not a polite discussion but a truly futile & stupid gesture that's so offensive that even the 'tucks will remember it in five years when a real discussion will be possible.
Who is setting up the PayPal account? I think we have people ready to donate for billboards.
Two things.
1. The Billboard that features GTM adverts on McCall and Tuttle Creek would be perfect. It is a prime spot and would indicate/imply Dreiling support. Doubt he would do it but would be powerful and surely he isn't happy.
2. Fly the banner at the Spring Game. Strike while the iron is hot.

Dreiling has already come out in support of the Schulz/Currie/Weber triumvirate.
his financial interests are obviously to entangled to be objective.
maybe if i was making hundreds of thousands of dollars off the ability to exclusively peddle my wares at the stadiums i wouldn't be so devastated by the raging dumpster fire that is our AD

Definitely needs changed...a KU co-worker was looking over my shoulder, saw the design & said that he wants one of those shirts...I love the concept, but needs a "john Currie is.....The ENEMY OF THE STATE" type of vibe
It is my view that death threats and violent fantasies are not very helpful when trying to argue with someone.
yeah, don't do or threaten anything violent, don't break anything, don't vandalize anything, don't do anything illegal. #burnitdown is not a literal movement.
A billboard needs to go up in KC. In order for this to get strong legs...it needs to be viewed by a lot of eyes (and large KC media). This would make a great talking point for BITB, rest of 810 and 610. I personally would feel like one in KC is just as important or more important than Manhattan.
Guys, it needs to not mention goEMAW. Hear me out....there are many who may listen to the message that will fully or at least partially discount it because of their tuck-feelings about us.I agree. For better or worse, goEMAW has a stigma behind it, and the more we can help the tucks think that this is "their" idea and not "goEMAW's" the better.
We have to take the us vs them out of this.
If we can do this and use the billboard to make solid, clear, logical points to fire currie, so that most fans reading it would listen to the points, I am in. I am not getting tix and would gladly put down some $ for the billboard.
We need to take all personality out of this. It can't be about style. It has to be about action.

Yes, so many people see goEMAW as nothing but a bunch of trolls who are focused on the "look at me" aspect of things. That couldn't be further from the truth, at least in this case. We care about K-State and want what is best, Currie doesn't give a sit about any of us.

Absolutely agree. We need to make this about ALL K-State fans rising against a common evil, not about glory for goEMAW.

so many people here characterize gpc.com as full of idiot tucks who are bending over and taking this silently.
gpc, ksf and goEMAW need to be uniting at this point instead of displaying tribalism.
Not going to go back through 9 pages and check, but has anyone suggested that the MHK billboard location be on Ft. Riley Blvd between town and the airport? That'll guarantee that Currie and Schulz see it.

My first overture has not gone over well. Maybe I'm not eloquent enough. Perhaps the Prince reference wasn't the best way to go about making that point. Who knows?

So, um....perhaps I overestimated the number in the firecurrie camp on gpc.
You guys have to take into consideration their mindset, which is always, ALWAYS defer to the wisdom of authority figures, even if you don't personally agree with their decisions. Shut up and handle everything in-house, etc.
The focus needs to be first on convincing them that their voices don't matter to Currie, then we have to go about convincing them that if you really love this university, this issue is too important to keep quiet about.

Re: Do you care about Kansas State? Reply
i go to K-state and umm ya currie has got us back on track in finance and for a guy who has the guts to fire Frank Martin (not a good coach in my opinion) he has to care for the university i am just utterly speechless how someone can say that he does not care for the university of K-state

Consistent counter to Frank was unbearable argument:
Why did the entire staff follow him then?
Should do a Kony2012 parody. Currie2012. Make him famous.
This is way down the road, but we need to be as excited about good hires as we are pissed at bad ones. We demonstrated that with Huggie's hiring, but we need to do it again. There's no way a good coach will want to come here if all he sees is how pissed we get when things "don't go our way". They need to know that we will be just as exuberant with a good hire. The motivation to keep us happy will be beaten into their head.

Well me too, but K-State wouldn't like it, and we probably couldn't even get it printed. I didn't take Willie out as a design consideration, I took him out as a trademark one.

This really needs to happen quickly. My biggest fear is that next year Weber does decent, the tucks are happy, and everyone who was on the fence about him starts to feel good about K-State basketball again. Then a couple years down the road, we get 'Bruced and have a losing conference record.

That is going to happen regardless of what happens to Currie. Currie already has the bball program FUBAR'd. Your biggest worry should be Currie still being around when Snyder retires so he can go out and steal Paul Rhodes from Iowa State.

I think everyone should gather all the rando receipts they can find and mail them in to the compliance dept. Just weekly send an envelope full along w/ some letter about how you saw a guy who looked athletic throw some of them away.

Could you design one that just says, "JOHN CURRIE THINKS YOU'RE STUPID" in bold letters? Now that the cat is gone and you've added John Currie it looks a little cluttered. I like the blunt, to the point message.
I also feel it would cause more people to come up and ask you about it and give you a chance to grow the movement.
You can do both (or tell me to eff myself), it's whateves. I just want to buy one.

Can he just ask one tough question about the results Weber and Assistants have had over the past few years?
Throws Weber under the bus in the event that players bail. :nono:Yeah, if players bail, it's Weber's fault.
Weber and Currie are at the k-state baseball game. In case you want to wait outside and have a chat with them afterwards...AND CAT_SCRATCH18 BURSTS ON TO THE SCENE!

Now it all makes sense to me. Currie hires a coach. Thus, his job is done. Whether that coach is any good or not, is completely on that coach.basically yup...someone else garbage, a warm body to fill the role..
I saw that but it's still not really easy to read....focus on the message not the design.

do it then. rally the troops. get the bucks. someone on here was saying they had donors ready to fund it. would just take making a few calls and sending in a design.
Things are in the works. We need to make it happen soon before my people get apathetic, though.Yeah, the steve dave shift has swayed the minds of many. If only he and FITZ could unite on something important like homelessness or poverty.

Re: POLL: John Currie Reply
I think the silent majority is ruling the day. Support for Weber in the other poll. Suppot for Currie in this poll. I would have to say that the wagons have been circled and we are ready to put the drama behind us.
It's over, We're back to 1995.
Well, I should've seen that coming. This is what I get for indulging whatever youthful idealism I had left, I guess.
Sorry guys, but the window has closed. Now with Frank as a distant memory and the entire staff being run off to South Carolina, the tucks have rallied around Currie and are prepared to put "the drama behind us".
Tuck Central just ran a fan poll and the results were strongly in favor of being lied to and mediocrity.QuoteWhich option best represents your thoughts on John Currie:

This is a complete waste of time, resources and credibility. What happens if this doesn't work and Weber starts actually sinking the program into SLTHiness? If you try this crap again all the donors to the cause and everyone you're hoping to influence will just say "eff it, it didn't work last time and I'm not wasting anymore time or money." or they will say "Oh, those are just those same jackasses that bought a billboard and tried to have Currie fired right after he hired Weber." If you wait until you ACTUALLY have a shitty record to point to, you might be able to sway some opinions, but it's a complete waste of credibility right now. You only get one shot at this before you become "those immature idiots that do this every 3 years or so" and people start laughing it off. Wait until you actually have a chance of succeeding.
Whatever though. Good luck.

Game over. Currie has won. The 'wait and see' spin has been a success and he'll be off to a better SEC school in two years (prior to the 'wait and see' window being closed). Well played, John Currie and co.

You do realize he may get a chance to hire our next football coach before then, and you "thank you sir, may I have another" bitches better just sit there and bite the pillow quietly.
Well, eff you all right into a couple of decades of meh. I'll be forced to watch the same bullshit as everyone else, but at least I'll be able to do it with a heart full of hatred for the regime. My rage has not subsided, and I'm still on board for doing a good chunk of the fundraising, but I don't do websites, design billboards, etc, so if it's just me, it's not going to happen. I never rough ridin' dreamed goEMAW would go this soft. I'm not sure how in the hell you can grow so complacent in 2 days that you are going to tolerate Currie running the show and shoving hires like this right up our ass with that rough ridin' smirk on his face the whole time. Candyasses. oscar rough ridin' Weber....eff. Unbelievable. You fuckers bitched about Franks recruiting and whatnot (and I did too) for the last 2 or 3 years, and now you're willing to accept this? Currie has burnt your pride to ashes before his bitch Weber has even gotten started burning down the program. Unreal. eff.

I'm fine with a billboard. I'll donate for one because I absolutely do not want Currie touching football and we need to get that message out there. But I'm not optimistic it will work. If 'tuck sentiment has turned this quickly then they'll immediately unite with the media against us whenever we pull it off. They'll dismiss us as the fringe "insane" group that was only able to get 20 people to the Gottlieb rally.
If we want any chance of a billboard working, we'd have to make something like a bad picture of Currie and a message below or beside the picture that says:(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcjo-cdn.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fimagecache%2Fsuperphoto%2F11049322.jpg&hash=39ed9af76c087bd29ec916e1a917b29c8b4a4f28)

I realize that, but eventually (when Weber starts SLTHing) it will be. And when that time comes, you'll have wasted all of your credibility on The War of April 2012 and everyone will laugh at the next War...a war we may actually be able to win...IF we had any credibility left. This is a losing battle right now. Schultzy isn't going to fire Currie at this point after the financial success he's had. It's just not going to happen. But when it turns out that he hired a shitty basketball coach, and there's evidence AT K-STATE to back that up, you may have a fighting chance and may be able to sway some opinions that matter. You're better off fundraising and planting seeds now so when Currie has a high profile failure (hiring a bball coach with a shitty record at KSU) you have a war chest and plenty of troops to wage the battle.
You're a smart guy, Trim. You have to know what I'm talking about when I say you're wasting valuable credibility and resources on a fight you simply have no chance of winning right now.
I actually agree with most of this....and I'm by far one of the biggest "glass half full" posters on this board. (I refuse to call myself a tuck because I don't own jean shorts, collared shirts, a pair of slacks or a belt)

I don't totally disagree with you, I just have a different strategy in mind. Schultzy isn't going to fire Currie, probably not ever unless things get absolutely horrid in multiple revenue sports. However, we all know that Currie is looking to leave K-State in his rearview sometime, so the more uncomfortable we can make Currie (whether that means having people at church ask him about that horrible billboard in town, or he finds it harder to do the fundraising aspect of his job because we have had an impact there, even incrementally) the sooner that will happen.

However, we all know that Currie is looking to leave K-State in his rearview sometime, so the more uncomfortable we can make Currie (whether that means having people at church ask him about that horrible billboard in town, or he finds it harder to do the fundraising aspect of his job because we have had an impact there, even incrementally) the sooner that will happen.
I suppose that's a more legitimate mission, but it's still a losing proposition. This is Currie's career and livelihood we're talking about. He has a career path in mind and a few billboards and a website aren't going to knock him off that course. If anything, it may make him more unattractive to other schools and result in it actually taking longer for him to move on. :dunno:
Rams, it's not about Weber's 2012-13 record or even Weber at all.
I realize that, but eventually (when Weber starts SLTHing) it will be. And when that time comes, you'll have wasted all of your credibility on The War of April 2012 and everyone will laugh at the next War...a war we may actually be able to win...IF we had any credibility left. This is a losing battle right now. Schultzy isn't going to fire Currie at this point after the financial success he's had. It's just not going to happen. But when it turns out that he hired a shitty basketball coach, and there's evidence AT K-STATE to back that up, you may have a fighting chance and may be able to sway some opinions that matter. You're better off fundraising and planting seeds now so when Currie has a high profile failure (hiring a bball coach with a shitty record at KSU) you have a war chest and plenty of troops to wage the battle.

We're thinking along the same lines, and I have calculated that risk. Furthermore, I have calculated that CURRIE has calculated that risk, and maybe he will GTFOOH before his reputation takes that unrecoverable hit. I realize that it is a risk, and probably not the safe route, but who the eff am I, John Currie?
Currie is very good at what he does and I give him a world of credit for it... The guy really is good, folks.
Oh, and you wanna know what's free? Sidewalk chalking the crap outta campus.
I appreciate Rams' point of view. We cant afford to screw this up. Im a fan of doing something, and maybe a billboard/website combo will work. Maybe not. But something must be done ASAP. Curries affect on football is the most important thing right now. We can not afford to have him rough ridin' us over again where it really really counts.

I appreciate the reaction and the passion. I really do. I just think there's a better way to go about it. This is more like politics than anything else. You have to try and take the emotion out of it and try to figure out the best way to achieve your end goal. Really, your end goal is to either have Currie change the way he does business, or GTFO. Step 1 should be to be professional and political about it. Try and be courteous to him and let him know that you really feel like your voice isn't being heard and you have some major concerns about the way he's going about things. Make him understand how much influence we have over the most passionate and visible fans. Make him understand that what we may lack in financial resources, we make up for in sheer numbers and voices. Make him understand that a form letter isn't OK and we deserve to have our concerns addressed. Tell him we deserve ACTUAL transparency. If that doesn't work, move on to step 2. You don't go directly to last step, which is billboards and organized firing campaigns. If you immediately go on the offensive, you lose all chance of having your voice heard and force him to go on the defensive. And let's face it...he has more power than we do as long as he has the support of Schultz.
In sum, it makes zero sense to skip immediately to the most extreme strategy especially when you know that strategy has virtually no chance of success. Because once you skip all the previous steps, you can't go back. You have to get your hands dirty in politics and sometimes you have to try and make friends with people you don't like in order to influence them. Then you gradually ramp up the pressure and anger. The last step is "War." Using War and anger as the initial reaction is immature, unintelligent and wreaks of attention whoring.
Again, I support the mission, I just think there's a more effective way of going about it.
I have seen online petitions get some attention. Anyone familiar? I know it like stopped Bank of America from charging some fees or something.

Can't tell if serious, but that would be part of step 1, imo. Set out a list of reasonable things you want to see changed and start a social networking campaign to get people to sign it. Make him understand that this isn't just a few random pissed off college students and 30-something alums sending unorganized emails. There's a lot of anger at Currie right now and you need to make it easy for lazy asses to show their anger. It doesn't get any easier than signing an online petition with a list of pre-determined demands. Then flood Twitter and Facebook. :dunno:

I agree with a online petition, but it needs to get started while people are upset otherwise people will just settle...
Guys, I just listened to BITB's interviews w/ Currie and Weber. The three of them basically destroyed goEMAW / the too-cool-for-schoolers and all of the tired anti-Currie / anti-Weber talking points.Well, I should've seen that coming. This is what I get for indulging whatever youthful idealism I had left, I guess.
You gotta strike while the iron is hot. It's a good lesson to learn.
Currie is very good at what he does and I give him a world of credit for it.
He knows he can manipulate the mass of simpletons in our fan base to his advantage. Deny some KORA requests to cover up the controversy, go on 810 with BITB to field some softballs, have feel good news conference to update the football stadium, etc. Most AD's wouldn't have the stones to run off the most popular coach in decades to basketball purgatory and then hire a guy like oscar Weber, but give him some props for his keen awareness of their stupidity, the willingness to be lied to, and the threshold for accepting the status quo of our fan base.

right now I feel helpless, WTF? some want to play the wait and see, and some are in the eff it mode...I rough ridin' hate john currie...people are so rough ridin' stupid. Why can't people see him for what he is? He didn't build crap! He used his slimy used car man's skills for his own attention, and now he's using those same skills to sell his lazy, and uninspiring hire of a shitty has been who was ready to take a job at rough ridin' SMU...I. for one did not like the hire of Ron Prince because I saw right through his BS used car selling skills, win over people. with charm blah...rough ridin'...blah....people kept saying give him a chance...eff that! I said the same about currie, and pissed so many people off....people like ron and john find the kstate's of the world because they can use egos to make people look stupid. The only way to get to people like this is by attacking their ego...People have to make themselves heard whether others like it or not....The wait and see method might be deviating to our University...weather we liked it or nor, we were lucky to have Snyder to put a bandage on the prince abortion failure, but next time, if Johnny eff wad makes a choice, there won't be a fall back plan, Johnny wad will move on,and we will be left with cleaning up the crap...the time is now...we have to come up with real solutions or EMAW is dead....we love kstate more than the tucks because were willing to take the criticism...

...you and me bro.
I agree with a online petition, but it needs to get started while people are upset otherwise people will just settle...
This I completely agree with. There were a LOT of pissed off people right after Jamargate and Frank leaving. Those not-as-passionate fans are getting less and less pissed every day. You have to strike while the iron's hot and it's getting cooler and cooler by the minute.

This is true. If there's anything more reliable than my fickleness, it's my ability to procrastinate on something until I forget about it.
For every fire alarm on campus, we should put tape over the word "alarm" and write "Currie". Same for fire exits.
Pro tip:
John Currie doesn't care enough to disassociate anyone. HTH.
:cry:
:cry:
Get destructive if you think that helps KSU athletics :facepalm:
I don't think anyone knows the real story on what happened with Frank, though a lot of retards on this board think they do.
Now--did Currie veto the hiring of Leavitt? THAT would piss me off.

Fishing by himself – a direct result of losing his brother and partner, Brandon Patterson to issues surrounding eligibility – Ryan Patterson put on a performance for the ages.

if this doesn't have bbbs fundraising potential, i don't know what does
Chokeouting would qualify as well but only if followed up with fatfacestomping. Must leave a mark of shame that he will have to wear for weeks.Screw the billboards and air plane banners.

Yeah, that was the tone that BITB had, but it had the practical effect of promoting Currie as the up-and-coming guy for the next big athletic director hire. I can always hope...

Met this Currie guy at an ISU Volleyball match once. Nice fellow.
wanting Currie gone is pretty dumbassish. Maybe in a few years, once BSFS has been built out and funding has been secured for a massive OOD overhaul...
