Does KSU_Fan, or was it ksu_fan, still post here? 

He was always good for statistical world at his fingertips posts.  But it seems like his apex was during Frank Martin era.

They don’t have the money

True, they placed or deposited all of it with an escrow agent last winter or spring.

Correct. Remember the lineman that got stuck in a drive-thru window at the Taco Bell he was trying to rob?

Don't remember his name, but it wasn't a robbery gone bad.  They got his order wrong.

That deal is loaded with merch for athletes.  Adidas gets full retail value credit for merch given to athletes, which really inflates the value of the deal.  Maybe Adidas is coming in with a stronger mix of cash, making "cooperation" on the payoff investigation a little easier.

That is standard operating procedure for their industry.  Under Armour (UCLA), NIKE (tOSU) and again adidas (Washington) all have a similar merchandise valuation included in those contracts.

Man, this year we really got under their skin. Off-season unsolicited angry tweets? So much for us not being a rival.

A "Little Brother" rivalry does not seem to go very far, like not beyond how much mom & pop love either.

Shitty way to end the season. That's the biggest upset of the tournament so far, isn't it?

Yes, 'Cats had a 77% probability of victory.  Marquette had 66% chance of defeating Murray State.

'Cats need to step up the Nov & Dec 2019 portion of next season's schedule.  This season's portion was relatively lame and hurt when viewed by national analysts.

I stopped reading after he said John Wooden had the streak at UCLA for 13 years. UCLA had 3 different coaches during their streak. I think UCLA streak was more about paying players than great coaches.

From the phog... it's a post that really was not thought out, and may not age well.

A comparison of 1964-75 UCLA teams to current era schools is silly.

Those UCLA teams only had to win 2 games to advance to a Final Four and they got to stay near West Coast playing the likes of Long Beach State, Santa Clara U, U of San Francisco (way after their Bill Russell , K.C. Jones teams), Utah State and Pacific U to advance to a Final Four.

I quite literally can’t remember a single Mawien block

He had a big one on Monday, I think he tossed Mytch when we were still leading early.

Mawien did a nice job guarding their starting big, McCormick, keeping him off balance and out of position.

Stockard was the one who kept losing Lightfoot and when Wade was on him it wasn't much better.

You could tell the crowd really needed that one. I’m happy for our in-state bros.

The two bro’s in the front row had the absolute night of their lives.

Their lead snare drummer shed at least 45 lbs tonight.

Should have rested Dean dumbass oscar

Knowing DW's luck, I expected him to fracture both feet when he ran into and over Dotson to earn his 5th foul.

Reddit cbbstreams

If "hany" has a stream, try it first.  Lately he's had the cleanest ones for college bouncy ball.

This season too many of the consistently good streamers seem to focus on nba games.

he worked really hard when he was way younger and achieved 3rd place in the b12 a long time ago

Plus his Cowpokes teams did much better than expected vs OU -- defeated them twice when OU ranked in AP Top 5.

Kansas State Football / Re: Is Les Miles a joke?

« on: December 13, 2018, 10:54:27 AM »

It is interesting the #1 JUCO QB had not committed anywhere yet.

From what I read, Vanderbilt also wanted him.

He had a prior relationship back to high school days in Ohio with Miles.  LM recruited him to LSU then, but he wanted to play closer to home so signed with Pitt.

If the guy who bashed a gir'ls head off the sink and the Morris twins stayed around, Pooka should be totally fine.

The Twins played basketball. Completely different set of rules than football when it comes to Lawrence, KS

Likely depends on testimony from eye witnesses.  John Randle seemed to skate for an earlier alleged battery charge until a reliable eye witness did him in or at least got him kicked off their team for good.

ND is certainly a party spoiler.

When does their NBC contract terminate?  Would be best if they'd then join ACC as a real member instead of half-assin' it like now.

I'd be curious to see if that offense can work in Manhattan, especially during the latter part of the season.  I've always suspected that the air raid system won't be effective in a place like Kansas.  But I could easily be wrong.

Because of wind?

Wind, blowing rain, sleet or snow.  Those often were of concern in Boulder or Lincoln and still so in Ames, Lawrence or Manhattan and maybe Morgantown.
