We could get it started right now just answering the questions you folks have that's the important thing your job is to ask the questions marcus' job was to live up to the standards we set and he couldn't do it and neither could malek or jevon or wait which ones did we say were dismissed the important thing is that we've got guys coming in that just want to play basketball and play for k-state long history lots of success we're just trying to keep it at that level and take another step lots of ups and downs this past year big ups big downs but we got a lot of guys get some experience and that's the important thing even Vulture got in there contributed won some awards so he'll be back and DJamer's gonna have that boot off so you've got your inside your outside now we just need to get everyone to play hard play together and I don't see why we can't be one of the top teams in the country there's no doubt

6. Field really really soft questions in a confused and bumbling manner
7. Say the word family

That would be the perfect job for oscar.  He could recruit all the try hard 5 hearts that he wants and coach them to run his motion offense to perfection.  Run a clean program and keep your players out of trouble and he could coach there the rest of his life.  The significant cut in salary should not impact him much as any millionaire who mows his own grass probably lives pretty frugally anyway.

There a division that doesn't have a shot clock? oscar's motion offense is perfect if it can be ran for a couple minutes to find an open shot, 35 seconds just isn't enough time.

this is true. kstate and john currie do not care about winning basketball. the weber hire told anyone with half a brain that fact. so now we let oscar try to build up what he burnt down. next year is officially year one. i passionately hate our basketball team now. kstate basketball with nino and gip gone is officially my least favorite big 12 basketball team. screw every single person currently associated with it.

I honestly don't think that's true. I mean, look at what happened with Leti. It looked like Currie and co. were going to stick to their guns, hell or high water. Then all of the sudden she gets released. With really no explanation that made any sense whatsoever. I think John Currie is just absolutely horrible at presenting K-State in a good light, and building any kind of goodwill with the fanbase (or whoever the hell he needs to be building goodwill with at the time). My guess is that oscar is gone after next year, and John Currie supports him until the bitter end, then all of the sudden he's fired and nobody can really figure out what changed.

ZERO CHANCE this is about how half his team doesn't like him.

any AD with a competent PR team would ensure your prediction is correct.  so, i'm guessing this is a "hey oscar, get out there and defend us and score some points with those goEMAW types while you're at it".
damage control 101 taught by King DeBruce the Master

and it will fail miserably and he'll say a bunch of things that further embarrass us, etc

Too bad we don't have that.

ya that's my point.  but these idiots think they can calm the waters with a poorly written letter from the ad and a bumbling coach standing at a podium in front of the media.

it's almost like we knew what was going to happen this afternoon.  and this season.  and next season.
this is all been so obvious from the beginning when oscar was hired.  i'll always be mad at myself for actually giving these dickheads a chance.  live and learn i guess.

“I think there’s a lot of restlessness but there’s a lot of positive, too,” he said. “People appreciate if you hold people accountable to do it the right way.

“I’m sure there’s people who go on the Internet, the opinion people that are faceless. Come to Catbacker events or come to the game and ask me a question. Don’t go faceless on the Internet. I’ve had lots and lots of positive feedback because people believe in K-State and the way it should be done.”

“I was flying out of Kansas City,” Weber said, “and even the guy looking at my license said, ‘Good job, Coach.’ So people like it when you hold people accountable and do it the right way.”

Hold people accountable and do it the right way.


Holy crap.  The reshaped roster due to the national transfer epidemic, caring too much, holding people accountable and doing it the right way.  Next year inexperience and an imbalanced due to all of the above will be the excuse.

I'm convinced at this stage we could forfeit the next three seasons and oscar's employment would be perversely justified.

This guy is going to have a longer run than Wooldridge.  Just let that sink it.

Criticism has rained down on Weber with each dismissal and transfer, but he said he did not notice any of it. When fans approach him around Manhattan, he said, he is greeted with handshakes and thank yous from strangers telling him to keep up the good work. He said many have told him he runs the program with integrity.

Also, I don't give a eff about doing it the "right" way, as long as it's just right enough not to get caught with violations.  Oh and as long as you rough ridin' win games.

I'm imaging you saying something to oscar and then he smiles, calmly walks over and says "hey daris that cheeseburger sure looks good..." And then sweeps his arm across the table knocking both you and kk's meals into the floor then saying "now it's a floorburger" then as he's walking away Chris, without saying a word, pulls a wad of cash out of his pocket, throws a Ben on the table then hocks a loog on your shoes.

After finishing his cottage cheese and mug root beer, he walks out to the parking lot, gets a baseball bat out of the trunk of his dodge neon, and loudly calls out "hey daris, I think you got a tail light out" and then smashes the eff out of your tail light. Chris takes off his jacket and rolls up his sleeves like he's about to do something really B.A. but then decides to just hock another loog, this time on the drivers side door handle and he makes sure you were watching when he did it....never once breaking eye contact. As he walks off he directs his stare at kk and says "tell your friends what you saw"

Honestly if that happened I wouldn't be the least bit surprised bc the who MBB program is just bizzaroworld.

KC Star article said oscar kept getting more excited and optimistic about next year.  Last when he said this could be a special year we all got excited with addition Edwards who could jump higher than any human and Big Tank Hurt able to bomb from 3 at will.  Fooled once, but not twice.  I think Wade, Barry, and Dante can be special, and it will fun to watch them.  It could be a special year for Wes.  IMO a .500 season is what expect.  I don't think Weber can recruit pt. guards and his motion offense goes to hell.

Weber did not seem bothered by the departures this week, saying changes had to be made for the good of the program. Transfers are common in college basketball, he said. Under Martin, K-State lost 10 players in five years and was set to lose more had he stayed instead of leaving for South Carolina. It was Weber who convinced players such as Will Spradling and Nino Williams to stay. After retaining a full roster last year, Weber said, the law of averages is simply setting in.

“Mr. Currie talks about transition with jobs,” Weber said, “and usually when you have that transition, if you follow anybody, there is usually some kind of setback. We were very fortunate for the most part to maintain all the guys that first year and we transitioned great and had an unbelievable year. We were able to avoid some of that. Obviously, it caught up to us now. It is just part of it.”

Weber did not seem bothered by the departures this week, saying changes had to be made for the good of the program. Transfers are common in college basketball, he said. Under Martin, K-State lost 10 players in five years and was set to lose more had he stayed instead of leaving for South Carolina. It was Weber who convinced players such as Will Spradling and Nino Williams to stay. After retaining a full roster last year, Weber said, the law of averages is simply setting in.


Mass exodus.

And lol at weber losing 6 players in one year as some reversion to a mean.

The best mid-major coaches recruit players good enough to play in a power conference. The best power-conference coaches recruit players with NBA futures.

They recruit up.

At K-State, Weber has struggled to do the same, signing too many players that turned out to be troublemakers or lacked Big 12 talent.

Currie/Weber have mastered the art of repeating a falsehood so many times that it becomes fact.

it doesn't matter if it's fact or not.  he evaluated and recruited them.  painting them as troublemakers doesn't make weber look better.

as kellis juxtaposes perfectly, it's the same as signing players that lack ability.

It shouldn't matter, but it does.  And Kellis is referring specifically to the likes of Orris in reyards to talent.  The troublemaker tag is for the rest (namely Foster) and justifies the transfers to our stupid rough ridin' fanbase.

You are right, regardless of the reason, it should fall at oscar's feet, but it won't because the troublemaker transfers didn't want to do it the "right way".

Catbacker Tour, Western Kansas Here We Come
One of the nation's best and most comprehensive fan appreciation tours gets underway Monday as K-State Athletics’ and the K-State Alumni Association’s annual Catbacker tour heads to Dodge City for our first big event.  Click here for a full schedule, which includes consecutive stops in Dodge City, Garden City, Scott City, Colby and Hays over five days beginning Monday and appearances from Coaches Snyder (Dodge City/Scott City), Weber (Garden City/Scott City), Mittie (Scott City) and Dibbini (Dodge City/Garden City) as well as numerous assistant coaches.

There is much more to write about, but It’s time for me to get in position to simultaneously watch the Bat Cats at KU, Robert Streb in the Wells Fargo Classic on my screen and monitor rowing, track and Matt Green on Twitter and the internet.  Best of luck to all competing, congratulations to all new K-State graduates this weekend and we'll see you out on the road next week.

Go Cats!
