TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Basketball is hard => Topic started by: Trim on March 16, 2015, 12:08:04 PM

We've seen this on the FB team. Others will be quicker, etc. and going from the big fish in a small pond to the big time will be tough. Jordy and Kline type work ethic will be golden on this team.

What if he's good enough to keep oscar from getting fired, but not good enough to help us win tourney games?
:ohno: :ohno: :ohno:
-
I grew up east of Club Orleans, I would like to hear the opinion of Western Kansas people (west of Club Orleans) on this.
-
Maybe he can teach it to oscar.
-
I bet Claws was in one or both of 4H and FFA and therefore has a wonderful work ethic and is eager to show others how to have a good work ethic.
-
Maybe we should find a good babysitter that can walk on. According to a bunch of GPC tweets this weekend, oscar failed because he was baby sitting and not coaching. So, if you see any good Babysitting fliers in your neighborhood, maybe shoot them oscar's way. Not sure what the requirements are. I mean, it would probably be a plus if they know CPR, have a reliable car, and maybe if their parents have a pool or something they wouldn't mind taking the little guys back to swim in some days of the year.
No bullshit cut rate ones either, guys. This is obviously a big task.

Is that the official Mason-Dixon line of Kansas? Makes sense, just have never heard that before.

Yep.

if Nino wasn't able to why would Dean be able to? :don'tcare:

The babysitting quote was from Nino.
-
The babysitting quote was from Nino.
Yeah.
It is frustrating to me to hear that. I mean, talented and celebrated 19 yr olds exist at all major sports schools and they usually don't melt down because they are too much for their coach to handle. It's ridiculous.

My fave part of the GPC wknd was where D. Scott said only Nino and Gip cared about losing and the rest of the guys were just planning on getting hammered at Johnny Kaws after the games.

Honestly, it doesn't make Nino and Gip sound the greatest either. Those guys seem just as disconnected from the young guys as Weber. This season was just a mess.
-
Well, yeah. I mean, I am a nino fan, but maybe step up the leadership in season? :dunno:
-
Gip and Nino seem to just be doing more blame shifting. Marcus was the main guy taking responsibility in his last interview.
“I just didn’t go hard every day like I should have,” Foster said. “I tried to go hard late in the season, but it was too late.”
“When you think that way, you have got to be hungry with it,” Foster said. “You can say, ‘I am going to average 15 points,’ but then you have to make sure it happens. I didn’t stay hungry enough to make things happen like I should have.”

"The other guys have to take a step in the weight room, in their workouts, their intensity, and we’ll be fine.”
:lol:
-
I hope he can teach them to be good at basketball
-
Nope, gotta warm up some hot pockets and make sure Javon gets to day camp on time. No time for bb.
-
I grew up west of club Orleans and can say that the farther west you go the harder working the man.

The Marcus quotes have been weird. Like I didn't want to play hard because I think our coach is a putz, but I still totally want to come back and play for this weirdo loser next year??
-

Definitely. East of Orleaners are soft.

I see a lot of Dwight Eisenhower in Wade.

Much more Bob dole, imo

LOL at nino.

I agree.

We should do one of these for Dean. Maybe just add a "D" to it.
-

very weird.
-
Wade eerily reminds me of the young Larry Bird. Wade biggest asset is his brain and savvy. His coach now is likely a more knowledgeable coach than Weber.
-
LOL at nino.
Complaining about Weber having to babysit other players after missing his last senior road trip because of "personal reasons".
-

Do you not buy that someone he was close to died? I'm kind of surprised that you mentioned that.

That's possible, but I would've thought that he or K-State would have just said that. Every time I've ever seen a player have an emergency or family death, that has been stated. I've never seen someone just miss because of "personal reasons".
This is what he said:
"Yes, just personal reasons. Just a lot of things going on. It sucks to miss a game, and at Texas, because it was my last game there, but it's business, and I really don't want to talk about that part, but it's personal, and I did what I needed to do. It's over. I'm moving on."
I'm probably being too tough here because I have no idea what went on. :dunno:

Yeah, no way in hell was that a funeral. LOL at Nino and his leadership.
-
it was an injury, not a funeral. don't know the specifics of the injury. maybe he had a treatment or something that day and couldn't make the trip, but it was def injury related.
-

Why doesn't anyone just say that. I mean, his quote makes no sense. He's done playing, he's venting about everything else, why not just say "yeah, it sucked to miss Texas, but I had treatment and couldn't travel."
My frustration with it is based on HIS answer to why he missed. I wouldn't have made any speculation had I not read that honestly.
-
yeah, weird thing to call personal reasons. i dunno
-

Unless it was an non-playable injury (in which case I agree with _FAN, why not just say "I was hurt") and he missed a game for a treatment the entire athletic training staff and team doctor should be fired/not retained. No way should a player miss a game for treatment if the injury is playable.
-
I was bigger-picture lol'n at nino and his general displeasure of how this all worked out for him.

If you're standing on the line, then be prepared to be Mason-Dixoned, cause there is a lot of that going on at Club Orleans. :excited:

probably not his grandmother's funeral.

what if it was his agent who died?

As a native of Hutchinson I take offense. I think the Mason-Dixon line of Kansas is for anything West of Fun Valley. ( http://tinyurl.com/funvalley )
-
I grew up next to Fun Valley....in Bonner Springs, KS. If your argument was for my Fun Valley, I would be in full agreement. However, your Fake Fun Valley idea is laughable.
-

Real estate agent? I don't think an agent for basketball is in Nino's future.
-
What if his receipt of payment from Curtis Malone was found and turned into the AD?
-
i would rename the thread. it's crazy to doubt whether wade can teach the kansas work ethic. the question is whether the rest of the team will be capable of learning it.
-
please post the gems

Yes, perhaps poorly phrased on my part.

You know I bet a good weekend with them all working on El Rancho Esteban David would bring them together.
O imagine the sparkle in one's eye as Jevon tries to lasso a doggie, trips and accidentally ropes a cactus that first night. Stories around the campfire as a thunderstorm brews way off to the west, lighting up the inky night sky! The next day when Nigel has to put down a lame horse with a nothing but a fence post wrapped in barbed-wire and they all cry in each others arms as the blood runs into the dusty ground. What's that? Its Ma Dave ringing the alarm for supper! Good simple, humble food. Food from the earth and fresh horse meat to one obtained with one's own strength and will. What tastes better than accomplishment after a hards days work in the sun? The small troubles of a ball bouncing of your arm into the face of the opposing coach look awful small when placed against the backdrop of the titanic Western Kansas sky. By the time the last night rolls around, words will be fewer, but more meaningful. A well placed glance will tell more tales than a library of books. They will have learned to not only wrangle cattle, but how to wrangle men.

That was amazingly well put. But you did pick the two people that seem to be least likely to still be on the team a year from now.

put some spaces between the text FFS

Chingon , that was impressive.
Gonna win 'em all!

Claws looks like a slightly more handsome Christian Laettner
