is it pointless to root for #burnitdown tonight since we know oscar isn't getting fired this year no matter what?

this is a marathon not a sprint.  It will take a tuck uprising for Weber to go and that only happens with uninterrupted failure.  Weber's complete failure with a talented and fairly experienced roster in 14-15 is a crisis we can't waste.

i've always struggled with rooting for a cats loss even if it may be beneficial long term. but i think i might finally be at that breaking point.

rooting for a loss doesn't have to be a strategic decision.  it's also a lot more fun that rooting for them to win.

Are they really the cats, or just a bunch of dislikeable people currently employed at KSU?

Well, this tuck has decided to not renew his season tickets.  I attended the first game when Bramlage opened.  I believe I attended my last for awhile last week. Not an uprising, but a lack of interest in poor basketball. I never thought I would get to this point, but here I am.  I can use that money on lots of other kinds of entertainment.

I would imagine that losing out would simply raise an eyebrow around the AD.  We will have to be as bad next year, which is very unlikely, imo.  I mean, we can be 2 or 3 games better next year and he would be fine.  Hell, he could be one game better, as long as it was the right game. 

I don't like it.

Yeah, we need to win enough this year for a terrible next season to not be viewed as "positive trajection". Fulcrum and all that.

I'm not actively rooting for the cats to lose.  But I'll admit the potential of losing out and going first-to-worst in 4 years is intriguing.  It would be quite an achievement, even for oscar.  I can't imagine its been done a lot.  Plus we could @Currie with things like #firsttoworst  <--- catchy

I don't know what is sadder, the fans who were mapping NCAA tournament scenarios or the fans looking for scenarios in which oscar gets fired.   At least the former is much more realistic.

The Black Prism by Brent Weeks.  It's OK, and getting more interesting as I hit the 50% of the way through mark, but it beats watching Cats basketball!  If you want to really dive into the Fantasy genre, there are better options.

It would be easy for me to say that I am rooting against the 'cats but once the game starts, who knows?  I can't imagine a win bringing me any joy but a loss would help push Weber only infintitesimally closer to the edge

Oh.  We already lost.  I turned to watch the game, found that my cable company was having signal issues with that specific channel, and rather than calling them and having that talk, I turned off the tv and haven't even bothered to look up a score. 

When apathy wins, the program loses.  Some ppl just don't know it yet.

Although Pete predicted a cats loss.  What a fool Pete is!  He deserves our scorn.
