Shawn Smith is the only one I've heard mentioned so far but Cassidy said that they are trying to get a big group (hopefully Smith doesn't headline).

The 2008 one was so embarrasing (year after beasley/walker)
1) Wasn't televised
2) We didn't think we were going to be good
3) We weren't going into the season as a final 4 favorite
4) Hadn't just come off of an Elite 8 appearance
5) Weren't part of the E16 at the time
etc...
-
I'm more concerned about the general hokeyness of the events/video/whatever than I am of the fan turnout.

there is plenty of historical precedent for concern over both attendance and hokeyness.
can kstate do this WITHout embarrassing itself in front of the nation and (hopefully) elite recruits?!/??
:bwpopcorn:

crap. i wasn't supposed to get nervous about hoops until we actually played a game.
the stakes are high before the ball is even tipped.
ksu hoops: life on the edge :love:

currie is fasttracking the limestone tarp replacement. not a sure thing, but it should be ready.

So the more I think about it....the more I'm kinda bummed it's just on ESPNU.

Yeah, sucks it's not beamed straight into the brains of every human on earth. Guess we have to settle for the most elite broadcast that currently exists.

You know we are going to get mumped and end up with Dickie V as are special guest.

I have low MMIQ, please tell me Deb and her gals will have nothing to do with this? :pray:

THIS IS A WASTE OF LASERS
Thankfully we have a few slogans now that aren't totally lame.
How about they beam a huge :doom: onto the court? OMG, someone photoshop this! :excited:
-
They'd get a bill in the mail from ksu_FAN if they did. Dear K-State, if this is actually a concern I want you to know I was joking and I'm pretty sure ksu_FAN will let you use it all you want.

Give me some ideas.

Guys, I've sat in meetings like where they decide what kind of stuff their gonna do at events like this. I've heard the dinky half-ass honkeytonk small time cheap horseshit idea's they like to come up with.
This thing needs to be done right.... classy, and elite. I've waited for a night like this for so long. I'm seriously worried.

We need to start a theme ourselves, and not the let the university decide it.
How about instead of a black out, we have a black-tie out? Everyone wears suits, brings cigars, top hats, etc. VERY elite.
-
This event has "Subway Party Tray" written all over it.
Not the little shitty one either. The big one. Multiple cheeses.
-
The thing that makes me feel better at least is that Frank is the kind of coach that knows how important these things are to recruiting and will probably be very interested in what they are planning for it.
If the athletic dept staff looks at this as they should, which is that it's about 10% for the fans, 90% for recruits, that will help immensely.
Some things I really hope we do:
- Not the Wabash. Looks kind of cool from far away, completely embarrassing during espn closeups.
- No band, please. Nothing but hip hop.
- No Wyatt. Go get somebody cool and half-way recognizable to emcee this thing.
- Invite back old players. Whoever, but def Mike and Bill and have them talk about the millions of dollars they have now because they went to K-State.
- Get the hottest women possible everywhere we can. Only the cuttest classy cats. The idea is quality over quantity. Put hot women all around the recruits serving them drinks.
- Dim the lights, badass highlight videos, shoutouts from famous people, awesome frank martin speech, adorable pullen/samuels speech, lazers, doom logo's, elite eight banner unveiling (can we get some banners, please?), chanting recruits names when we show them on the jumbotron, dunk contest and call it good.

Did Currie ever have anything like this at TN? Maybe he can stabilize this and keep it from being bad lasers and shitty paid guests in track suits?

They had better be retiring Mike's Jersey at this thing to force him to come back for it

Madness in Manhattan is Back
Last week we announced that Madness in Manhattan will be returning and we are excited to be one of six schools nationally to be spotlighted during ESPNU's coverage of the annual start of basketball season. We are very fortunate to have our basketball programs under the leadership of Coach Martin and Coach Patterson and we look forward to this opportunity to showcase our institution and programs to the nation. The event will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, October 15, which is the evening after our football game against the Jayhawks in Lawrence, and we hope you pack Bramlage. We are planning a few surprises for you that night so mark your calendars to attend!
http://www.kstatesports.com/blog/2010/09/letter-from-ad-john-currie----september-21.html
I'm really worried that this and a couple of quick ads at football games will be the only advertising for Madness.
-
Can we vote Deb out of this thing? Or, like, make her have hers early in the day before the ESPN people get there or something?

I'm really not that worried about attendance. KSU people are usually pretty good about packing the crap out of events like this. I'm a lot more worried about what "a few surprises" is going to be.

KSU is going to have a salute to our troops and toby keith or some crap and I'm going to slide my arm across the table of whatever airport bar I'm watching it at knocking off all of the drinks and food before throwing my carry on briefcase on the ground and stomping off to get arrested by the TSA.
-
And if we do properly advertise this, it will be the first time, in the history of kansas state wildcat university emaw athletics that we have done so.
-
meh. this is irrelevant.
-
And if we do properly advertise this, it will be the first time, in the history of kansas state wildcat university emaw athletics that we have done so.
We will have good attendance, regardless of advertisement. I'd honestly rather the athletic department save their money on advertising this one.
-

right before Willie breaks out the ol' t-shirt cannon and the band strikes up the Wabash and espn pans to a shot of the recruits looking confused while a line of students hump the air six inches from the back of their heads.
-
I'm still unsure about how important midnight madnesses are. KU puts on the lamest lame-fest I've ever seen at Lame night at the Phog and they are always signing highly rated recruits. Are they getting these guys in spite of Lame Night or because of it? *boom, roasted.
* because of how I switched Late Night to Lame Night.

I pretty much said that like 15 minutes ago.

meh. this is irrelevant.
It's not even about that for me. I just want to see if we can actually pull one of these kind of events off and look big-timey on tv for once in our lives.

Have you ever watched one of these hosted by a big time basketball school? They're all really stupid, I've never seen one that wasn't stupid. Our goal needs to get the place filled up and loud. Also, the students need to pretend to know what to do during those times when they don't know what they're supposed to be doing.
Also, if you think the night will be complete without some cheesy laser light show (think giant powercat on gym floor), you're nuts.
-
Remember how big time we thought we were when Katz was coming to Hugg's Midnight Madness. Then, iirc, we turned on him because he snubbed fff.
-
if they can take two remote controlled flying objects and crash them into each other with candy or tshirts or something falling out with a loud explosion then it will be a success in my book.

I listed a laser show in my list of requirements bro. I'm all about that crap. I'd be down with passing out purple glow sticks at the doors and blasting sandstorm while everybody goes nuts. We should cover Willie in glow in the dark paint and have him run out and do the k-s-u- chant.

Madness in Manhattan is Back
Last week we announced that Madness in Manhattan will be returning and we are excited to be one of six schools nationally to be spotlighted during ESPNU's coverage of the annual start of basketball season. We are very fortunate to have our basketball programs under the leadership of Coach Martin and Coach Patterson and we look forward to this opportunity to showcase our institution and programs to the nation. The event will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, October 15, which is the evening after our football game against the Jayhawks in Lawrence, and we hope you pack Bramlage. We are planning a few surprises for you that night so mark your calendars to attend!
http://www.kstatesports.com/blog/2010/09/letter-from-ad-john-currie----september-21.html
I'm really worried that this and a couple of quick ads at football games will be the only advertising for Madness.
Really wish this was referring to our football and basketball coach.

Have you ever watched one of these hosted by a big time basketball school? They're all really stupid, I've never seen one that wasn't stupid. Our goal needs to get the place filled up and loud.
yeah. the only possible thing about one that could impress a recruit is that there's a bunch of dumbasses that will apparently watch anything XXU bball related.
well that, and in this case, the slight chance of being on natl. tv.

That and high school kids like to be treated like rockstars. It can't hurt.

Activities will include scrimmages by both the men's and women's teams, in addition to comments from head coaches Frank Martin and Deb Patterson and selected players. The event will also feature special video introductions, a dunk contest, performances by the K-State pep band, Willie Wildcat and the Classy Cats, as well as a few surprises.
The "few surprises" better be good.

:facepalm: Comments by people making excuses for why they can't go on fb

The thing that makes me feel better at least is that Frank is the kind of coach that knows how important these things are to recruiting and will probably be very interested in what they are planning for it.
If the athletic dept staff looks at this as they should, which is that it's about 10% for the fans, 90% for recruits, that will help immensely.
Some things I really hope we do:
- Not the Wabash. Looks kind of cool from far away, completely embarrassing during espn closeups.
- No band, please. Nothing but hip hop.
- No Wyatt. Go get somebody cool and half-way recognizable to emcee this thing.
- Invite back old players. Whoever, but def Mike and Bill and have them talk about the millions of dollars they have now because they went to K-State.
- Get the hottest women possible everywhere we can. Only the cuttest classy cats. The idea is quality over quantity. Put hot women all around the recruits serving them drinks.
- Dim the lights, badass highlight videos, shoutouts from famous people, awesome frank martin speech, adorable pullen/samuels speech, lazers, doom logo's, elite eight banner unveiling (can we get some banners, please?), chanting recruits names when we show them on the jumbotron, dunk contest and call it good.
I just came in my pants and fell into a fetal postion sucking my thumb.

With our athletic dept. it's probably Lance Harris or music by Men at Work.
Probably videos from our 3 nba'ers is the best we can hope for :bawl:

set expectations really LOOOOw :dunno:
-
If they actually do some of the things I've heard thrown around for the surprises, it should be pretty cool. I mean, no goat milking demo's or anything. It shouldn't be like the lamest thing ever. We'll prob find some way to dork it up though.

I used to run this little game up on the concourse before womens games where old people would wad up a piece of paper with their info on it and sit in a expensive awesome leather recliner and try to make a basket into a bucket a few feet away. Then later we would pick out a name for a winner. EVERY SINGLE TIME, I'd go find the winner and they were assuming they had just won the expensive awesome leather recliner. Instead, I'd hand them a $50 furniture store gift certificate and explain to them that they had not actually won the expensive awesome leather recliner, at which time these sweet, gentle souls would give me a look like I had just canceled Christmas.

Angel Rodriguez, a long-time target of the Kansas State basketball team, will make a visit to campus this weekend and take in the Wildcats’ Madness in Manhattan event Friday evening.
The 5-foot-11 point guard from Miami is rated as a three-star recruit by rivals.com, and shares close ties to former players Denis Clemente and Luis Colon. He is also close with current big man Freddy Asprilla.
His AAU coach, Art Alvarez, said Rodriguez is looking forward to the festivities. And if Frank Martin deems them exciting enough to show off to a recruit, they should be pretty decent, right?
Alvarez has said that Rodriguez is leaning heavily toward K-State in the recruiting process, and could make a commitment to the Wildcats shortly after seeing Manhattan up close.

Students also have the opportunity to win $10,000 and front row seats to men's basketball games this season. Students with the most school spirit will be selected and then voted on by the crowd. The winner receives front row seats to every men's basketball game this season and take a half-court shot to win $10,000. Students will be selected by arriving early, wearing purple, bringing signs and being loud during the event.

Guys, we need to stop acting like KSU is cool and/or successful and/or bigtime and just embrace our university's hokeyness. That way when this year's MM features bobbing for apples and purple gunny sack races we won't be disappointed. Heard the ag college is setting up a petting zoo outside OOD for the recruits to check out, confirm? :party:
-
Everyone gets to stick there hand into a cow stomach. Also Artificially inseminate a cow, great fun will be had by all.
-
Will there be free parking? anyone?
-
Isn't the whole thing free?
-
Well the event is free, so I assumed it would be but just making sure.
-
i heard it was twenty five dollars to park so some friends and i are just going to take the bus from aggieville.

in absolute seriousness, the more kstate can incorporate livestock into sports events, the better.
halftime could be fun, all of a sudden.

I'll just park at your house and start the grill. Do you still keep the lighter fluid in the garage or is it still outside from last weekend? :confused:

you're correct.

Short recap, I thought the atmosphere for the men was pretty good.
Large video screen hanging from rafters was the only way to make the practice facility unveiling good, with our crappy screens.
Men's bball intro video was full of history. Legit.
The ENTIRE team danced with the classy cats, like choreographed and stuff, not just random crap.
Modern Family stuff was great, except he said he was getting ready to hop on a helicopter to come here. and he didn't come!!! :curse:

Anyway, I sat right behind Cauley. He laughed at all the jokes we made about the women's bball team. I can say that Will was very impressed with the "world renowned" painter. He did really seem to like JHR scoring 16 points in the 3 contest.

JHR looked exactly the same. When he came out I thought he was going to do the awkward shrug with his hands.
