Title: A lot has been made about the chicken nuggets and mowing his own lawn
Post by: Trim on April 08, 2012, 02:25:23 PM
Have we talked picking up the dry cleaning yet?

Quote
"I'm telling you this guy is one of the best basketball coaches in the college game," Stallings said. "He is an outstanding coach. He's a tireless, tireless recruiter.

"He'll be a guy people will see at the dry cleaners picking up the cleaning. He's very approachable. He's a normal guy who just happens to be a very good college basketball coach."

Also, michigancat, is there still room on the shitlist?

I didn't read this as Manbeck going along with Stallings, et al.  He put all their BS out there and leaves it to us to sort through.  Tucks will eat that crap up and we do what we do.  I envision him throwing that dry cleaner quote in there just for us.

Manbeck needs to be a hero and interview the AAU coach who thinks Weber is a racist, or really anyone whose opinion is relevant.

If he does that I will no longer hope that she leaves him at the altar.  However, read that last section again.  He clearly believes the what he's being fed.

The only positive (and stupid) thing I see from Manbeck and not from some other dude at the dry cleaners is:

Quote
The reality is, K-State may have been in a fortunate position last week. Because last year, Weber turned down job offers from both Missouri and Oklahoma. So had Weber not been fired from Illinois this past season, K-State may not have been able to lure him away.

WTF?

Fortunate is Bob Huggins being an alcoholic and needing a job when we finally shitcanned Wooly, not this situation.

Oh, it was pretty dumb, but very far from earning a shitlist spot with Keady and Stallings.

It's the (Easter) Sunday townie paper's welcome coach article.  For the most part, he let Weber's boys do the welcoming.

This is also after having lost 5 of 6 already.  With three of those losses coming to teams that ended up in the bottom half of the league.

But it wasn't Weber's fault.  :flush:

Also, Rake, please consider this thread a formal request to update any videos or photoshops to include scenes of Weber at the dry cleaners.

If you want to make it really special, have him being much more polite to the cashier than I would be when he finds that they obliterated the buttons on his dress shirt.

John Currie, in his third year as the K-State athletics director, was criticized by fans and the media for Martin's departure. But in fairness to him, he has replaced Martin with a man who is widely regarded as one of the best basketball coaches in the business — someone who has won 67 percent of his games during his coaching career.

There may still be some frustration boiling over regarding Martin's decision to leave K-State, and that's understandable. But most people who know college basketball inside and out say K-State made a great hire — a hire they say the fans should embrace.

who said this?

who is 'most people who know college basketball inside and out?'

gottlieb, okay, he's neutral. but he's also being kind because he doesn't want to bash the hire publicly after lobbying for the job. the rest are friends of weber. so, who is 'most people?' because 'most people' in manhattan killed the hire. 'most people' in the midwest media killed the hire. 'most people' in the national media, save for jeff goodman at cbs, laughed and mocked and ridiculed the hire.

so, the question i guess is this:

how many people know college basketball inside and out?
of those people, how many think 'k-state made a great hire that the fanbase should embrace.'

can we quantify this somehow?

The hardest part to define is "know basketball". If it only includes current and former coaches, I would guess most would say k-state made a great hire no matter who we hired from their little circle of friends.

One of the worst pieces of revisionist history I've ever read. Seems he's not content with still landing another gig, he's unwilling to own up to his last one. Good luck, the man has more excuses than Doan's has pills. Weeks after the fact when most of us haterz are well past ready to turn the page, he still can't shut up and move on. I'd like to think that you guys would have better luck with him, but it's tough to learn from your mistakes when you did nothing wrong.

already tired of the illinois posters here. worse than sys.

Why tired of us? We can appreciate that you'll give oscar a chance, but don't let anyone fool you -- including Weber -- on how and why he was let go. The lack of a vote of confidence from Mike Thomas was not the final straw. The fact that Weber is trying to essentially rewrite the account of his history, and that people are willing to buy it because he's a nice guy, is disingenuous at best, and it especially makes Illinois fans appear ungrateful and wishy-washy. In reality, Weber's last six seasons fell short of expectations set by the Lou Henson-Lon Kruger-Bill Self years. It got to the point where major donors to the program were willing to pony up their own dollars to take care of Weber's buyout so we could go out and get whoever we needed.

Maybe Weber can build up something for KStaters to be proud of like he built up Southern Illinois. His coaching ability is respected by many. It's his lack of a thick skin and his admitted failure to build toughness in his players that derailed the Illinois program and left it where it is today, rebuilding with a new coach and a whole lot of raw talent that, for the most part, doesn't know how to run an offense. If Weber can repair those mistakes and get back to what made him successful at SIU, then KSU will be better off for it.

dude, know what you are. you're illinois. you're not appreciably better than northwestern in football, and your hoops isn't - and never has been - a national powerhouse. your best year came with weber at the helm. now he's gone. deal with it.

your new coach wouldn't have been hired if he didn't win a pair of games in the tournament. he will fail, and fail miserably, and you weird illinois fans with your stupid, highly overrated orange crush student section will be sobbing for weber and wishing he'd come back to champaign to eat your chicken nuggets and mow your lawns and pick up your dry cleaning.

so please, take your former racist mascot chief illinigook, your disloyal athletic director, your ugly fans and your papa del's pizza and go away. i think jim croce or john grossi or jim crocket or (whoever) is about to reel in a big 2-star forward to add to his top 200 recruiting class which will combine with your weak-minded, undisciplined loser players.

dude, know what you are. you're illinois. you're not appreciably better than northwestern in football, and your hoops isn't - and never has been - a national powerhouse. your best year came with weber at the helm. now he's gone. deal with it.

your new coach wouldn't have been hired if he didn't win a pair of games in the tournament. he will fail, and fail miserably, and you weird illinois fans with your stupid, highly overrated orange crush student section will be sobbing for weber and wishing he'd come back to champaign to eat your chicken nuggets and mow your lawns and pick up your dry cleaning.

so please, take your former racist mascot chief illinigook, your disloyal athletic director, your ugly fans and your papa del's pizza and go away. i think jim croce or john grossi or jim crocket or (whoever) is about to reel in a big 2-star forward to add to his top 200 recruiting class which will combine with your weak-minded, undisciplined loser players.

have fun in the CBI.

What's the best, most foolproof way that I can save this so it's readily available in 2015-16?

I understand you're angry.  Your basketball program recently caught gonorrhea.  Now not only does it burn when you pee and you have this discharge, but people are actually trying to sell you on gonorrhea, telling you you were fortunate to catch it when you did.  Then these people show up who had it for years, but were recently cured and you hate them for it.  You want not to have gonorrhea like them, but you know you're going to have it for years and it's just going to go right on burning and dripping.  Worse you find yourself accepting your gonorrhea and pointing out it's positives, but not so deep down you hate yourself for it.  You're gonna pull through, it's just going to be very unpleasant.  Welcome to your life with gonorrhea.     

Why tired of us? We can appreciate that you'll give oscar a chance, but don't let anyone fool you -- including Weber -- on how and why he was let go. The lack of a vote of confidence from Mike Thomas was not the final straw. The fact that Weber is trying to essentially rewrite the account of his history, and that people are willing to buy it because he's a nice guy, is disingenuous at best, and it especially makes Illinois fans appear ungrateful and wishy-washy. In reality, Weber's last six seasons fell short of expectations set by the Lou Henson-Lon Kruger-Bill Self years. It got to the point where major donors to the program were willing to pony up their own dollars to take care of Weber's buyout so we could go out and get whoever we needed.

Maybe Weber can build up something for KStaters to be proud of like he built up Southern Illinois. His coaching ability is respected by many. It's his lack of a thick skin and his admitted failure to build toughness in his players that derailed the Illinois program and left it where it is today, rebuilding with a new coach and a whole lot of raw talent that, for the most part, doesn't know how to run an offense. If Weber can repair those mistakes and get back to what made him successful at SIU, then KSU will be better off for it.
