Kansas State Basketball is hard / Re: oscar Weber's Message to Students

i don't have it in me to hate oscar weber. sadly, i see a lot of myself in him. 

I believe this is why there was a faction of Illini fans that so vigorously defended the guy, regardless of how bad he was at his job.  The whole aw-shucks-cub-scout-den-leader-lawn-mowing-dog-walking-ice-cream-social-attending-coupon-clipping rube persona really struck a chord with some corny East Central Illinoisans.  Identity politics at it's worst.

Is your AD by any chance a Fundie?  Not trying to slam religion but running off a popular coach and replacing him with Weber seems to defy all logic and reason.  While not all religious types ignore logic, it's something most fundies I know are pretty good at.  And Weber himself is kind of a churchy guy...

I dunno.  Unless that guy is truly trying to tank your program, which I doubt, I can come up with very few logical reasons why he would be convinced he's doing the right thing, unless there's something deeply philosophical (to him) involved.
