TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Football => Topic started by: Saulbadguy on June 19, 2016, 07:39:00 AM

Guys and Gals, I need to tell you a story:
I received a phone call last Saturday Morning from none other then John Currie.
During the course of our conversation I was told that I was being disassociated from Kansas State University Athletics. My season ticket money was refunded, my Ahearn Donation refunded and my KSU-ku game ticket purchase was refunded.
Why you might ask??
Did I commit some NCAA violations that might get KSU into trouble?? No. Did I get into a fight in the stands, or threaten someone in KSU athletics?? No.
My "crime" ... too frequently questioning the direction and leadership of Kansas State Athletics on Internet forums, and asking to many questions.
Now had you listened to the conversation from last Saturday, you might have come away with the impression that I literally STALKED John Currie and his staff ... bombarding them with emails, phone calls and letters daily, and generally making their life miserable.
Now, if about 15 or so emails, and 1 letter over the course of FIVE years is your definition of stalking, then I am guilty. Of those contacts only 3 could be considered negative and one or two of the THREE negatives were out of line ... which I freely admit (there's only so much $hit basketball a 35 year KSU fan can take). But they were all words ... MERE words discussing the business of KSU athletics and threatening no one in any way. It's hard for me to remember, because some of this stuff was either totally harmless, or from so far back, I can't even remember what I said.
The most interesting part of the conversation was when John Currie started quoting Internet posts that I had made ... in some cases months, if not even YEARS ago. It was quite clear that the man had kept a file on me, and as he said, "You are not someone that we want associated with Kansas State Athletics." (I also believe that certain people who shall remain nameless who didn't like the fact that I refused to drink from the vat of Purple Kool-Aid made sure Currie saw some of my posts).
Currie apparently operates under the edict that you make one or two phone calls back to someone, answer their question, feed them a line ... and then they're NEVER TO QUESTION OR SAY ANYTHING EVER AGAIN TO ANYONE ANYWHERE!!! Kind of like when Stalin used to tell his military weapons designers, or generals that their next mistake would be their LAST mistake.
I guess Currie missed the posts where I defended him, like on the Radio deal and other things.
While I disagreed with many of the things being done with KSU athletics, I still purchased season tickets, I INCREASED my Ahearn Donation, I have been trying to get my parents to change their estate to include KSU athletics, I purchased bowl tickets even though I had no prayer of going in order to help KSU sell their allotment, and I bought tickets to games I had no hope of attending and gave them away so KSU would either sell more tickets, or they wouldn't end up in the hands of oppossing team fans. Heck I have no hope of making it back to the KSU-ku game, but I bought two tickets anyway and had already made arrangements to sell them for 1/4 their face value so they end up in the hands of a hardcore KSU fan.
I have my contacts ... from what I understand this doesn't happen to anyone unless they're fighting in the stands, or causing KSU trouble with the NCAA ... again, I don't fit the bill on any of that.
So, fairwarning to all my friends ... be careful what you say, or Herr Currie might send you packing too. Keep in mind, I am a nobody ... when I emailed or wrote (one letter) providing some input, I never thought or demanded for one second that they listen, I just spoke from concern and as someone who has followed KSU and the business of college athletics for 30 years now. I have to laugh ... at Auburn they still have AD's and boosters around that were involved in flying private jets to various places looking for Tommy Tubberville's replacement ... in secret. Those are the type of people that get "disassociated" from Athletic Departments ... not little old me type fans who just speak their mind.
Still a K-State fan all the way, I was here a long time before John Currie came around (like 25 years before) and I'll be here a long time after John Currie leaves. I have never been a "Oh well whatever you say" kind of person, and I guess I paid a price for my ways.

Sorry to hear that Saul.

This is a reminder to you people that you need to always go to FattyFest and bid on KSU game tickets because you never know when that could be your only way to go to a game.

How did the correctly associate your posts with your letters and emails? Did you mean someone rattled on you who could make the connection?

John Currie is the super-religious father figure who just found out his son Saul is gay.

Consider yourself FOREWARNED!!!! :Wha:

didn't even know Saul was still a poster here, weird

would also love to see the emails you wrote them

He doesn't block us on twitter so he can build our banishment portfolios :runaway:
-

I thought this call was placed from the front casting deck of Tim Weiser's Ranger
-
Who has time to send a bunch of emails and letters to the AD? Does Saul have a job?
Anyways, most people's recollection of time/events is less than what actually transpired. Example: remember that time my car broke down 2 months ago? Oh, it was 2 years ago, my bad.
So Saul's estimation of 15 emails (more like 25-30) and 1 letter (more like 5-6) would justify stalker material........ :buh-bye:

I could write 15 different emails to the AD in about a 1 hr time period. The letter would take a little bit longer than the 4 minutes per email because I would have to actually print my email out and then go buy envelopes and a stamp.

What a lovely congratulatory note.

Cross country and track are weird with their scholarships. K-State offered my bro 60-40 'ship, when other schools were offering 80-20. I have no clue what it's like now, but i'm sure they'd rather use a scholarship spot on another Kenyan vs some farm humper from the middle of nowhere. Big deal.
-
Garth is kind of a whiney bitch.
Maybe so but K-State can't afford to be passing on quality in state kids who want to come here.
-
If KU kicks our ass again in cross country it will be the final nail in my purple coffin. I just can't handle it anymore.
-
Did KState pass? Or did they, as far as Garth is concerned, fail to land a recruit?
-

maybe, but maybe they have someone better in mind than someone from 2A Kansas school. Also, assuming by the name this is Garth's son? nephew? just a salty look.
I admit i know nothing about the cross country recruiting game.
-
How much has Garth donated? If it's a lot, throw his kid a cross country scholarship or whatever. Who cares.

Historically K-State has recruited International students vs local, but holy crap, I just looked up this years roster. Garth's bro must have crap on our sandwich or something. They're all local kids. :horrorsurprise:

I haven't lived in Kansas in four years and its been much longer since I ran cross country in Kansas so I may be completely out of the loop; but do stop watches now work differently in smaller classifications?

Definitely possible, but you didn't know that when you called Garth a "whiney bitch."

He tweeted that from Stillwater and called it "another" nail.
If KSU basketball wasn't in hell, he wouldn't care where the boy runs.

Ever been to a cross country meet? They suck ass and are boring. I went to one in high school cause this girl asked me to ( :fatty: ). It was at rock chalk or whatever outside Lawrence and all you do is walk to a location and watch people run by and then walk to a different location to watch them run by again and do this like 4 times. It was also the day that squawk qb got smushed/killed and it was all rainy and crap and I was soaked before I even got to the game.

Is this about cross country or track, cause if it's cross country a quick search shows this kid is a good not great cross country runner.

True. It is pretty bizarre that our entire team is all local kids, but they passed on this guy. Whatever. We're a middle tier program anyways. He wasn't going to break the bank either way.

I guess if you're talking track/cross country. The state's top distance/middle distance and x-country runner doesn't have either state school on his list, but I don't know if they've offered or not. He is from a 1A school. Over the summer he ran the second fastest 800 time in Kansas high school ever (Jim Ryun) and is only the third Kansan to have a sub 1:50 time in the event as a high schooler.
