Kansas State Football / Re: Snyder Retirement Coaching Search Master Thread
« on: October 08, 2016, 08:14:20 AM »I wasn't really paying attention to the cats when Snyder retired the first time, but was there a big cry for a known coach then? Or were the fans just shocked when the AD shafted us with Prince?Snyds wanted Leavitt - he said no; the amazing looking & good smelling fans wanted Venz but Wefald fell for Prince's binder and Snyder blessed it because Sean kept his job. Moral of the story = don't get your hopes up
Trying to gauge how excited I should get about getting a good coach. I know the Currie shitfest in oscar, so I'm bracing for another crap hire.
You didn't really want Venables in 2005 did you? That wouldn't have ended well.

« on: October 08, 2016, 02:38:08 AM »I agree 100% with that. They are both unfit to be president. Which makes this crap show of an election even more important for the voters to know what they intend to do from a policy perspective.
My feelings on Hillz is well documented, but I don't think she is unfit to be president. I find it odd that anyone other than the most partisan of conservatives would think that. She has spent her entire adult life leading to this.

« on: October 08, 2016, 02:26:19 AM »It's not lack of transparency. All you have to do is like not be Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and ask for pricing.
It's no different than a Toyota dealership. "Hi Mr. Sys, the during the inspection the tech noticed your cabin air filter is dirty, would you like us to replace that?"
Now, here's where some of you are Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and the rest of you aren't.
Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!): "Sure."
Non-Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!): "How much is it? ("It's $20.") Oh okay, yes please do that."
in california, by state law, when you request any automotive repair or service you are presented with an itemized estimate of the cost of each service or repair which you must sign. that is transparency.
and your fantasy about hospitals being happy to document and estimate prices prior to performing work is complete bullshit. congratulations that you found a hospital that was eager and able to do that for one of the services they offer. it is well documented that it is not easy to get most/many hospitals to do so for many/most services they offer.
I got 2 FWIW, and neither was difficult.
LOL, no you didn't.
We absolutely did. Shawnee Mission Hospital and Overland Park.Did you do contingency planning for complications? How much was it going to cost for a preemie?
We didn't contingency plan, no. Young, healthy people. Also I would imagine that if hospital A were higher for basic services than hospital B, they would also be higher for the services required by the contingencies you mentioned.
Young, healthy people? With each post you make your knowledge of the childbirth process seem less and less.

Delton is 3rd....zooka Joe is 2nd
they will give panic face the first crack at it after Hertz
Delton has been the back-up the last two home games.

« on: October 07, 2016, 12:27:06 PM »Well this is all tee'd up quite nicely for MIR to come in and go all scorched earth.Sisco has made plays with his legs scrambling, that hasn't been an issue. He doesn't get many calls made for him in the qb run game, there are no designed runs for him outside of the read play. I've heard that they won't call those plays for him because they think he runs tentatively because he's afraid of injuring his knee again.maybe he should being a fp, tc etc. and realize he isn't going pro so he might as well become sketti brained and wobbly kneed and win some rough ridin' football games
meh, boring

« on: October 07, 2016, 11:23:40 AM »all the cord cutting got me thinking.. has anyone got rid of the Verizons and tried smart talk or any of those?
Peggy po's nancy neg's?
No...but seriously considering Sprint. Their coverage scares the crap out of me though.
Left sprint for Verizon, it was a great decision. When I first did it I was pissed because Verizon was more expensive, in every way; plans, phones, protection plans. Not that the phones and protection plans are essentially the same, I have no idea why anyone would select Sprint.
That was all I needed to hear. Thanks!
That should have said now instead of not, I need a better proofreader.

apparently he only understands the part about subbing in your fast guy but not the part about having him steal bases.
Marco Hernandez isn't fast enough to steal third, also and I know this is foreign to Royals fans, but that dude at the plate was a bona fide home run hitter.
HRs are fools gold
Happy to cheer for a team that can manufacture runs and hit it over the fence, feels good.

Kansas State Football / Re: Smoke your cigars and enjoy the band while you can....
« on: October 07, 2016, 10:47:08 AM »^^^^ this........hate the way the networks (especially ESPN) delivers college football to us.......i don't want them to force me to watch one regional broadcast over the other, blacked out games and who gets what time slot....it's bullshit and we just have to sit in front of our tv and wish it were differentAnd to expand further, what we're doing with K-StateHD.tv is actually way ahead of the curve. I know that it's not huge now, but for much bigger schools, programs, professional teams, etc., is the future of the medium, as we move to a streaming future, the distribution of your content directly from the team/organization as opposed to the team/organization selling it through a middle man?
LHN, YES, etc. are kind of the future, but they're just cable channels now. Does a consumer want to pay 9.99 a month for their team only as opposed to paying 19.99 for sports and teams they don't care about to watch a couple of games a month for a team they care about? Would they rather have access to Texas, Royals, Chiefs, etc. specific content for less money?
I realize that future is most likely less profitable than the current model, so the incentive to go there isn't high, but as people cut more and more from their entertainment bills, and what you watch becomes more customized to what you want, is that where teams will need to ultimately go to salvage what customers really want?
kstatehd.tv is about 2 years behind the curve in digital content and 2 years ahead of the curve in sport content delivery. It's missing a mobile app, Amazon FireTV/Xbox/PS4 App and things like chromecast abilities.
That said, kstatehdtv can't handle that. There is a gap right now that some app creator/manager could fill by working with a school's third tier/rebroadcast rights to carry on their app ecosystem. If the P5 conferences knew what was best for them, they would start unifying and form this outside of ESPN and Fox. I know they like the guaranteed money in contracts, but there are a ton of possible avenues that they should be exploring.
What do they have to gain by leaving ESPN and FOX? Both already have all the digital broadcasting possibilities available.
Money and power.
65 schools. On demand content. Every single game able to be viewed worldwide from a single source. If a company that Blockbuster turned down can be a media juggernaut, we don't need Fox or ESPN. They would need the P5 schools.
Maybe it's my own personal desire, but if the P5 conferences banded together for broadcasting, standardizing scheduling rules, etc. college football would be better for it.
They stopped doing this at least four years ago. When they do have an ABC regional broadcast the other games are available on cable.
