According to pretty much everyone on my Twitter TL, Bowlsby pretty much blew up the NCAA.

yeah, openly discussed the idea of BCS schools forming coalitions (something like that, can't remember his exact wording)

Twitter said that individual sports may look at creating federations for each sport, whatevs that means.

Also said that there are way too many D1 schools and it is just wasting kids and taxpayer's money.

Said that abandoning the NCAA is not what everyone wants to do, but is a remaining last resort.

Reading between the tweets, it basically was him saying that the NCAA is mumped, needs to change immediately, that all the major programs agree on this, that a select few of programs are cheating their asses off with no repercussions, and that all the big programs wouldn't mind leaving and forming a different org if it doesn't change.

It seemed very much so to be a very public and vocal challenge to the NCAA.

To add to this, Bowlsby said that there are 70 schools that win 90 percent of the championships in the NCAA and, “We have a bunch of others that don't look like the others yet are trying to compete.” He added that he believed it was time to think about federation by size (sorry, TCU) and scope and perhaps by sport.

uh...so where does KSU fit into that projection of 70 teams?

In the context Bowlsby is using, KSU would be division 2 football. KU would probably be division 3 or 4.

It's not really a shot at the "ncaa" as much as it is a shot/threat at the "little schools".  The big schools could vote to make changes to the ncaa, it's member driven but the little schools would block it.  Bowlsby might as well be yelling at VCU's president.

I would mutiny. I would walk right up to coach Weis, grab his clipboard and then toss it 30 yards down the field. I would then stroll off the field like a boss and laugh at Weis' fat waddling ass trying to chase me down but not being able to keep up.

once again this is the wussification of football...no longer can players hit the QB, running backs can't lead with their head to protect the ball and fight for extra yards and coaches get fired for being a little hard on their players. Come on it's football, if you can't handle being called a "pile of crap" when in fact your play was that then maybe you shouldn't be playing football.

Charlie will say it at next year's media days, too, god willing.

would you rather him lie and say KU is an amazing team?

Tim you catch a lot of flack here so I'm going to answer honestly.

Coach speak is a term used for a reason, he can say whatever he wants in the locker room but this is big 12 media days and trashing your team in public is dumb

once again this is the wussification of football...no longer can players hit the QB, running backs can't lead with their head to protect the ball and fight for extra yards and coaches get fired for being a little hard on their players. Come on it's football, if you can't handle being called a "pile of crap" when in fact your play was that then maybe you shouldn't be playing football. I have NO problem with what charlie said although he probably could have worded it better.

Huge difference between being called a pile of crap on the field, in the locker room, etc. than having it said at the media. One is perfectly acceptable. The other isn't. Saying such things doesn't make you a tough guy. It makes you a shitty coach. Your defense of it shows how far you went in your athletic career. FWIW.

What if the players are all studs and Weis & Co are shitty coaches.  Beems seems to think they've out recruited us for a decade.  Also, Weis does seem to have a lot of bullshit around his program that real coaches don't.  "If coaches look for another job, I'll fire them" & "Players all suck" seem like head games and bullshit.  Maybe you have to find a way to get up off the mat but I can't imagine it will work.

I know many of you are just entertaining yourselves, but for anyone who is actually butthurt about it, you need to view it in context. Charlie was talking about the on-field results of last year. I think an objective observer would agree that 1-11 is, in fact, a pile of crap.  Any player on last years team would agree that the on-field results were sub-standard. You also have to remember that the question was about selling recruits, and his answer was a pitch for playing time.  The players understand how Charlie communicates much better than we do.  I doubt very seriously any of them are hanging their heads and muttering, "gosh coach, but we tried really hard..."

Hell, I'll start it off:

Dear KU Football Recruits and Future Prospects.   If Charles "16 games below .500 in his last 4 years as a D1 coach" Weis doesn't do a good job of coaching you up (while he makes $2.5 million a year) than he reference your performance in the same sentence as "a pile of crap".   He might even call you fat and out-of-shape while he takes a rest on the cooler wrapped in a cold towel.

Shows you how smart Tre Walker is. You have to be standing up in order to lie down.

Quote
Mack will make sure that quote is hidden from the players, that's not good for them to read.

Quote
For the most part that's been the case during the entirety of Mack's tenure here. Some years talent hid it others not so much. 2005 was a clear exception. So was 2009. Otherwise tell us something we don't already know dip$#@!.

Quote
KSU has a history of beating us - easy to see why this kid would have such a perception.

Quote
Just because we're 0-5 against KSU since that young man started playing high school football?
Just because Coach Brown is 2-7 all time against KSU while at Texas, a program littered with guys who wouldn't have even popped up on Mack's 4-star radar?
Just because KSU has outscored us 301-175 over that span?
Just because in our 7 losses to them, they double up our score on average (38-19)?

Why the hate? KSU scares some people to death alright?

And I really wish Coach Brown would stop referring to 22 year old men as "Kids."
Just because we treat them like kids and coddle them at Texas doesn't mean they aren't "Young Men." I wouldn't consider men this large who have classmates that have been to war already "Kids."

I attended the Ron Prince Stomp game, and after the game, the Texas fans were all super nice to me. They all congratulated me on the win. I said "Thanks, guys, but Ron's team did all the work. Haha." Then they asked me if I was planning on going to 6th St to party. I said "you bet your ass I'm going to 6th street to party!" Then they gave me free beer and food. It's just hard to dislike Texas fans because they are so nice.

from kusports.com:


Asked how he was able to sell so many talented junior-college prospects on a place like Kansas, Weis flashed his brutal honesty and reiterated something local media members heard months ago.

“Everyone wants to play,” he said. "There's no one that wants to not play. I said, 'Have you looked at that pile of crap out there? If you don't think you can play here, where do you think you can play?' It's a pretty simple approach.”

It also sent the room into fits of laughter and Twitter into a frenzy.

Later, when asked to clarify his comment, Weis did not back down and said the declaration was nothing new to his players.

“They wouldn't be shocked,” Weis said. “They'd expect it. Let me just get one thing straight. I'm talking about what they saw last year. We have yet to play this year. And we have 12 games, at least, for them to change that impression. Hopefully I can't use that this year.”

Added junior quarterback Jake Heaps: "That's what we love as players; we love how candid he is. We know exactly where we stand with him. We don't have to worry about him sugar-coating it and him playing mind games with us. It's all about honesty. And it pushes you to get better. At least you know where you stand."

anyone know how many straight conf losses ku has?  gotta be a lot

21.  Their last win against a conference opponent was 11/6/10 against Colorado. They lost three straight to end the year, and they have been 0-9 the last two seasons.

Fun fact: When looking at Big 12 conference play since 1996, KU has a losing record against every school in the conference with the exception of Iowa State, who they are 9-9 against during the last 18 years.

Records of note:
Kansas State: 4-13 (1-13 if you take away Ron's work)
Texas: 0-10
Oklahoma: 2-8 (I can't remember when they beat OU?)
Tech: 1-8
OSU: 1-7
Baylor: 3-5

The two most particularly annoying mascots on Monday were the Jayhawk and the Cyclone from Iowa State. The two were running around together like kids playing tag throughout the interview room, and even the halls outside.

No surprise that Iowa State and Kansas are ranked ninth and 10th, respectively, in the Big 12 preseason polls.

It's not that I care tha he's running his mouth, it's just that it seems like he thinks he was part of the last two years and he wasn't.  He had nothing to do with the teams' success, he barely saw the field because he wasn't good enough to beat out a walk on juco kid who changed positions.  The reason he got the opp to make that pla against miami is because he waw f'ng up assignments to put miami down on the goal line.

What has Tre done except get beat out by a walkon and get hurt and hold a block of wood.  Yippie.  He made a tackle against miami.  He can't play 2013 football.  If all the offenses revert back to eye formations and running inside the tackles then he'll be successful.

Milo.  He might have earned a scholly by year end.  Milo was a walkon at butler too iirc.  Tre did not see tbe field that much because he doesn't have the skill set needed to be effective against big 12 offenses.  That's why his injury last year had zero effect on the defense.

 :confused: Tre plays linebacker, Milo played safety. Milo didn't even play the Nickel spot that would make your argument effective. Offense comes in with 10/11 personnel they're going to switch to Nickel, and decided that Brown/Childs and Brown/Tuggle was a better combo against those personnels. to use that as an argument that he sucks is stupid.

tre  will play where AB  played last year  and I  believe our coaches are smart enough to make changes  that will allow  Tre  and the D  to be as  effective as possible.  Obviously Tre  doesn't have AB's  insane  athleticism  but  he  has  always been a physical  player and a sure tackler.   In  fact,  Tre's  willingness to take on  blocks vs AB  running around them may be a better fit for what will  have to be a an assignment  sound D that appears to lack  playmakers  outside of Zimm

I can understand some of what zacker is saying.  For as good as Tre is at motivating teammates/give speeches, he hasn't played at a level of greatness like many apparently think he has.  Maybe the expectations are too high for him since he started as a frosh (<--freshman reference) and had the big tackle against Miami, but he doesn't strike me as a star player...yet.  Hopefully he'll stay healthy this season and turn into that player we all think he can be.

Post by: cas4ksu on July 23, 2013, 12:20:11 PM
I agree with zacker. Tre was essentially a 2 down player last year. He'll have to shoulder a bigger load this season.

While I think the casual fan may overrate his play on the field, I think he may be underrated in terms of his leadership and intangible stuff. That will be crucial this season. (not as much as him being healthy and on the field, though)

It's going to be pretty hilarious all around when Texas finally fires Mack and then hires Rhodes. The ISU butthurt after the announcement, followed by the Texas meltdown after his first season will provide an entire year of  :popcorn:.

Funny when they never fire Mack because they still think there is some magic left in that orange windbreaker of his

Would be funnier if UT hired Briles and Rhodes went to Baylor.   
and ISU hires Wies because Wies is go at that crap, tricking people in paying him and stuff.
:D

Holy crap. Wackycat caught someone pulling a Wackycat.

Who is this Wies coach? Can he do better than 6-7?

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby started off Big 12 media days on Monday. Here are a few highlights from his time at the podium.

On cheating:

“Cheating pays presently. If you seek to conspire to certainly bend the rules, you can do it successfully and probably not get caught in most occasions.”

On how much cheating is going on:

“I don’t think it’s rampant, I don’t think that at all.  I think our coaches and programs are of high integrity, and I don’t have any concerns on a local basis. I don’t think it’s cut rate out there, but I think those that conspire to do things that are intended to get around the rules have less resistance to it now than they ?? they’ve gotten very sophisticated.  It’s easy to move money around.”

On the troubles with the NCAA:

“We certainly are operating in a strange environment in that we have lawsuits … plus we have the O’Bannon lawsuit. I think all of that in the end will cause programs to be eliminated. I think you’ll see men’s Olympics sports go away as a result of the new funding challenges that are coming down the pipe. I think there may be tension among and between sports on campus and institutions that have different resources. It’s really unknown what the outcomes will be.”

On paying football and basketball players revenue sports:

“It is hard to justify paying student?athletes in football and men’s basketball and not recognizing the significant effort that swimmers and wrestlers and lacrosse players and track athletes all put in. Football and basketball players don’t work any harder than anybody else; they just happen to have the blessing of an adoring public who is willing to pay for the tickets and willing to buy the products on television that come with the high visibility.

On the student-athletes and their relationship to schools:

“Student?athletes are not employees.  They should never be employees.  It’s not an employee/employer relationship.  It’s just ?? it’s a total square peg in a round hole.But the scholarship is going to change.”

On the changes to scholarships and how it will affect other sports. :

“Even in an environment where we have some additional revenue coming in from television resources, primarily, it is going to be very difficult for many institutions to fund that. It is not hundreds of thousands of dollars a year; it’s millions of dollars a year.  It is probably going to extend into the consideration of other benefits for student?athletes, which is great. But in the end, it’s a somewhat zero?sum game.  There’s only so much money out there. … I think over a period of time what we’ll find is that instead of keeping a tennis program, they’re going to do the things that it takes to keep the football and men’s and women’s basketball programs strong.”

On the Big 12 not having a championship game and how it might affect them for the College Football Playoff:

“I like our path to the championship.  Our champion has been decided on the last day of the season for about five years.  So we have great competition at the end of the year. I think there will be a year when we’ll say:  Gosh, if we could have just played one more good opponent we might have been able to demonstrate that we were good enough. But you also, when you play that playoff game at the end of the year, you also have two of your better teams presumably that play each other, and one of them becomes damaged goods.  And it may not be the one you want.”

On the NCAA’s finances:

“The NCAA is currently headed down a path of significant financial difficulty. … When those lines cross, they’re going to stay crossed for a while. In doing that, I think it’s also a good time to re?evaluate what our core purposes are, why does it exist, what is it doing for people and to people and how can we go about sharpening our focus and making sure that we’re spending where there’s appropriate return on investment and where the membership needs to have that investment.

“So we have lots of challenges on our hands.  I don’t think there’s any question that none of this is going to go away soon.  I expect to be in court most of the rest of my career.”

On changes going forward:

“Change is coming.  If you like what you see in intercollegiate athletics right now, you’re going to be disappointed when the change comes, because it’s coming.  The scholarships are going to change.  The relationship between student?athletes and their universities are going to change.  I expect significant change will come in the area of recruiting from the very earliest stages of the recruitment process through campus visits and the declaration and signing of the national letter of intent.”

You must be talking about the overpaid coaches.  That'S what ruined it for college sports.

THINK ABOUT THAT, BEFORE YOU BLAME STUDENT ATHLETES.

Yes, this is simply acknowledging and adapting to changes that occurred over a period of many years.  In a way it's similar to how the Olympic Games was purely amateur in the 1950s and then by the 1990s it was fully professional.  (Remember the "Dream Team"!)  Except that the Olympics isn't the one that pays the athletes, while the new collegiate model will involve the athletes being paid by the schools.

But it's maybe not great news for KSU athletics.  We already offer the least sports of any school in the Big 12, and so operate a leaner business than most others.  Like, we can't eliminate men's tennis as a budget item in order to pay our offensive linemen, since we already cut men's tennis in the 1970s.

I know I'm painfully old-fashioned, but I don't like it.

I don't think that comment was directed at us.  It's at those schools carrying a full range of non-revenue sports.

I think Bob is saying that we're going to see a drop to something more like what we have.

you missed his point. when other schools cut programs, they free up cash which is used to help subsidize the new model,  k-state isn't going to experience a similar windfall.

It's sort of different, though, because college football is not a real job, and the free market has already demonstrated that the top athletes in America are willing to participate for a full ride.

The collusive rules preventing persons going from HS directly to the pros are very un-free market.   You can either make young people participate in college athletics or make them play for free, not both.

Well, sure, you can complain about anything, I guess. You aren't justified in complaining about paying for tv and NCAA athletes aren't justified in complaining about not getting paid for playing football in a league that they knew was for amateur athletes. There are semi-pro leagues that they can try out for if they want to get paid. There is also the CFL.

I don't complain about having to pay for TV.  I complain about having to pay an outrageous price for the shitty product/service of Time Warner Cable.  But, in this free market TV market, the only other option I have is U-Verse because Google fiber isn't in my neighborhood yet.  Of course, when they are in my neighborhood, I'll bet you TWC's price and product/service will be much more competitive. 

IMO, I am justified in complaining about TWC, even though I am voluntarily choosing to purchase cable/internet. 

In the U.S., there is only one path to the NFL - college football.  Yes, that path is voluntary.  but, if the path is littered with crap, I see no issue in the traveler complaining.

Nothing is stopping the NFL from drafting players outside of college football. Bryce Brown did nothing in college ball. He could have gone to the CFL for 2 years and still been drafted. He probably would have gone higher because there wouldn't have been concerns over character issues.

I think free education and the absurd privileges that go along with being a college athlete (blank check to commit violent crimes against women, theft and truancy) is fair compensation for playing football in front of thousands of people. Particularly when this paltry apprenticeship could ultimately land you millions of dollars and said privileges in a major metro area.

Snyder has an endorsement contract, gets a free car, has healthcare and 401K through the university, and a slushfund of additional miscellaneous benefits not quantified in his 2.8million salary.  We should pay him about $85K and he shouldn't complain.

If Kansas State doesn't want to pay Snyder more than a janitor, they don't have to. It is up to LHC Bill Snyder to decide if he wants to work at Kansas State for what the school is willing to pay. Student athletes have the option of not playing. The fact that just about everyone with the ability to play college sports chooses to do so tells me that the scholarship offered is plenty of incentive.

If Kansas State doesn't want to pay Snyder more than a janitor, they don't have to. It is up to LHC Bill Snyder to decide if he wants to work at Kansas State for what the school is willing to pay. Student athletes have the option of not playing. The fact that just about everyone with the ability to play college sports chooses to do so tells me that the scholarship offered is plenty of incentive.

It's not about incentivizing participation.  It's about fairly compensating contribution.

It's an amateur league. There is no compensation. If athletes didn't think that was fair, they would choose to not participate.

head of referees talking.. the officials now have the ability to remove the 15 yard penalty after video review of a targeting call

robots is the next step, and im okay with that as long as they dont turn on us

Speaking of robots, the Stan-bot grilled Anderson pretty good about spotting of the ball, moving the chains and mechanics of the chain gang.

It is. It just happens to be successful. It really is too bad that nobody would watch minor league football. A second professional league for those kids who are good enough to earn money would be great. Unfortunately, there is just no market for that at all. College football would still be much bigger than minor league football, even if the level of competition wasn't as good. This is because it is built on the institutions and their alumni, not the athletes.

I think your points would be very solid pre 1980.  before endorsements, TV contracts, and commercialization of the sport.  It's a different world today.  Many college programs in the Big4 conferences involve more expensive facilities, more expensive coaches, and more expensive tv contracts than some NFL franchises.  every person involved with this BILLION $$$ industry, from the ad execs down to the sideline chain gangs are receiving pay checks.  everybody except for athletes, the very engine that drives this goliath, money printing machine.  I can't reconcile these realities in my mind. 

We'll never agree.  it is what it is.

Title: Re: big 12 media days
Post by: 'taterblast on July 22, 2014, 11:49:32 AM
summer has disappeared in a heartbeat.

7 of us here. sean snyder, bj finney, jake waters, tyler lockett, jon truman, ryan mueller. all quality young men, wonderful people.

D SCOTT FRITCHEN - looking at current team, after summer workouts, what kind of signs of optimism do you carry?   my degree of optimism is negotiated daily. daily improvement, i'm happy, if we don't improve daily, i'm not. my major concern is always young people taking things for granted. i'm proud of so many of our YOUNGSTERS who have really invested themselves during the course of the summer. i would share a fairly high degree of optimism for today, but we'll see how tomorrow goes. i can't make projections for how good our team will be, i know what we're capable of. .... i didn't tell you anything did i?

"can you talk about how you've seen tyler lockett mature since coming to your program?"  - tyler has matured a lot but he was mature when he came in. amazing family, dad/uncle. all three have been quality players but more importantly great people. tyler has taken the same road as aaron and kevin did, worked diligently at trying to be better people, players, students. tyler does exactly that he's an extremely hard worker. right now i'm so proud of his attitude, his value system, and part of that guides him to do anything and everything he can to get himself better each day. he's one of those guys who you leave the practice field you look out and tyler won't let the equipment guys leave because he's out there catching balls from the jugg machine.

"at the safety position, what did Ty Zim do for you, who are you counting on now?" - ya know ty was a QB in high school, father was his coach. ty was a starter as a redshirt freshman and really grew in the program, was very knowledgable, was a good director of traffic, quality leader, great value system. he always did the right things, tried to do the right htings, took on leadership roles. when i sway he was a good director of traffic he was one of those guys that made most of the calls for us. very valuable young guy.

"what kind of sense did you get from the team after you finished last year with the bowl win?" - ya know the hope would be we had learned lessons along the way. we were bad at the start, 2-4, and lost the very first ballgame to a very fine NDSU game but we were supposed to win. the result of that game was brought forth by taking things for granted, opponent for granted, etc. i thought the way that our young people finished the season allowed them to understand the value of not taking anything for granted, because they certainly didn't toward the end of the season. we talked about it a lot. and probably the period of time that i was most proud was the approach that they took for our preparation for the bowl game. i cannot recall a bowl prep that was as pleasing as last year's was. i was extemely happy and proud. very hopefuly that it would carry over to workouts, spring, summer. remains to be seen. i think during the course of the summer we've been pretty good.

D SCOTT FRITCHEN " in his first season Jake Waters recorded the highest passing rating for a non senior. what signs do you have for jake's progress into his senior season?"  -  jake has a great VALUE SYSTEM, works diligently to improve in LIFE and on the FOOTBALL FIELD. he had little time in the program last year, it was a new environment. as he has had more time he got better, finished the season extremely well. confidence has grown immensely. he's always going to do everything he can, the little extra. there's always the concern that since he's feeling confident that we start taking him for granted, but i'm confident that he has done anything and everything he can to help himself improve, confident he can continue.

"since you started at k-state, conference has had 48 other coaches, does that make you feel old? how do you fight against the age thing and keep coaching at such a high level?" - i don't pay much attention to the turnover ratio, there's a variety of reasons for that. the age factor, i can't negotiate that, it is what it is, i'm as old as time. probably the significant thing for me when i was a young coach started off at high school level and moved to a lot of diffferent places and i was always one of those coaches that wanted to be some other place than where i was, a level above. that went on for a considerable period of time. i was half in and half out. consequently i was not a very good coach, probably not a good person. i learned about 30 years ago that i needed to do it a little differently. my decision was simply put "be where you are." i chose to do that, that allowed me to become better at the things i was doing, never looked to move on, that wasn't significant to me, i valued where i was, where my family was, that's the approach i've taken and that's why i'm not one of those 48 you're talking about.

"what kkind of advice would you give charlie strong in his relation to his fanbase? he's said some things that irritated the fanbase." - i think the important thing is just be who you are. care about people, and i think charlie does. and if he cares about people, i think things will work out just fine.

I think your points would be very solid pre 1980.  before endorsements, TV contracts, and commercialization of the sport.  It's a different world today.  Many college programs in the Big4 conferences involve more expensive facilities, more expensive coaches, and more expensive tv contracts than some NFL franchises.  every person involved with this BILLION $$$ industry, from the ad execs down to the sideline chain gangs are receiving pay checks.  everybody except for athletes, the very engine that drives this goliath, money printing machine.  I can't reconcile these realities in my mind. 

We'll never agree.  it is what it is.

tl;dnr  The players don't matter and shouldn't get paid.


This conversation is over and done, but I'm a tuck that worked all day and I just now had the chance to read this thread and I wanted to toss in my two cents.

I firmly believe that the value and popularity of college athletics is based on the institution, not the players. K-State basketball is the perfect example of how little the individual players matter. Look at the last season under Wooly compared to the Huggins season.

Under Wooly, we averaged about 7,000 people per game, we were mediocre and our biggest goal was to make the NIT. Under Huggins, Bramlage was sold out in August, donations were thru the roof and the expectation was a berth in the Dance.

Q: What changed?
A: The coaching staff.

Our facilities were unchanged. Our TV contracts were unchanged. Our lineup was essentially unchanged.

05-06 main players: Cartier Martin, David Hoskins, Akeem Wright, Dramane Diarra, Clent Stewart, and Lance Harris.

06-07 main players: Cartier Martin, David Hoskins, Akeem Wright, Clent Stewart, Lance Harris, and Blake Young.

Bill Walker would have been a big contributor, but he got hurt after sitting out the fall semester and playing in like 4 games over winter break. The only real difference between the two years was that Huggins replaced Wooly. And yet the fan interest was exponentially higher.

I say the players have very little incremental value... It doesn't matter who the players are. We care about the program: the name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back. I was a die-hard long before Jake Pullen played for us, during his career and long after he's gone. Ditto Collin Klein, Michael Bishop, Michael Beasley and Darren Sproles. If those guys weren't big stars for us, it would have been someone else. I would have still bought tickets and made the required donations and bought purple t-shirts, etc, etc.

Had some time to kill at work so I got to thinking.  I thought, "Muldoon, who do you think will be our high character representatives at next year's Big 12 Media Days?"

Here's a summary of our studs over the last five years:
2010: Daniel Thomas | Tysyn Hartman | Zach Kendall
2011: Arthur Brown | Tysyn Hartman | Collin Klein
2012: Arthur Brown | Collin Klein | Tre Walker | Ty Zimmerman
2013: BJ Finney | Tyler Lockett | Tre' Walker | Ty Zimmerman
2014: BJ Finney | Tyler Lockett | Jake Waters | Ryan Mueller | Jonathan Truman

My predicto for next year based upon very little analysis of historical trends:
2015: Dante Barnett, Travis Britz, Baby Gronk, Cody Whitehair and  :billdance:

Don't think we need to worry about the T being back in Texas yet:

"Olson: I pressed Quandre Diggs on the state of his relationship with Kevin Durant. This is a sore subject for the Texas cornerback, who's a vocal member of Team LeBron. He said Durant unfollowed him on Twitter due to Diggs' preference for LeBron. Diggs is hoping to repair that relationship with his fellow Longhorn soon, and he has plenty of respect for the MVP. But Diggs was adamant he will not be able to bury the hatchet until Durant gives him a follow again."

LHC Bill Snyder is the greatest thing to ever happen to/around/from the State of Kansas, and it's not really even debatable.

I let my guard down this second time and really worked on embracing and loving the man, regardless of whether or not I agree with some of his practices.

And you know what?  He's just great.  I hope he coaches here until he dies.  Hell, I hope he dies while coaching in his own stadium.

Scheduling, recruiting style, being loyal to bad assistants, not being friendly to the media and how that impacted the image of the program, etc.

Standard stuff.
