Side rant, but IMO it should always be legal to bet on your own team to win.
Good prediction on kstate never winning 9 games in a season ever again @j rake
"you haven't heard from anybody at kansas state, either the president or the AD? that's a shame. because here i am, up here in minnesota, and we've already come up with...we've come up with a new conference that i think would pass the test as a power 5 conference. we did it in like, what, a half hour? get this out there. if oklahoma and texas leave, and i think they're going to leave, we have a list of 15 or 16 schools that would make up for a big 12 conference that has national followings - from the army and the navy, to brigham young - and we'd keep the texas schools. listen, kansas state would be left out if the texas schools got into the pac 12."
"i like the president and the AD, but they have to come up with a plan. we've come up with a plan right here on your show. we've come up with, was it 16 schools? that would do it! we would be a power 5 school. if we have the three military academies, plus cincinnati, and memphis, and then one of the florida schools - or both of them? i think both would be great. oh man, how would you like to have the top 22 guys in central florida at kansas state? ... we would really gain a lot by having those two florida schools!"
OT
I think the real question is does jrake think there is a better fit out there for KSU (football), or does he just want to be a negative nancy?
between FBS and FCS, there are roughly 260 head football coaches, 520 offensive and defensive coordinators, dozens of NFL coordinators, assistant head coaches, out-of-work former coaches, etc.
last year at KSO, someone in mid-october - username mobcat - suggested k-state hire seth LittreLL. he cited LittreLL's promising turnaround at UNT and his win-loss record, among other reasons (Big 12 ties, youth, offensive system, etc). others seemed intrigued by LittreLL, and he has been a constant potential candidate by fans in the many months since.
earlier this week, snyder officially announced his retirement. a national search for his replacement officially began (although it was surely already underway). and gene taylor's first choice is apparently ... seth LittreLL!
jon wefald/tim weiser embarked on a national search to find ron prince, and they did the same to get bob huggins (and also "moved heaven and earth" in trying to get him to stay).
gene taylor's first big search? eh, he came up with the same guy that mobcat did.
he told me, "oregon wants me to sign a new contract.'"
i told him, "you might have them put into your contract the clause that you would be exempt from any financial penalty if you left to become head coach at kansas state."
k-state is going to finish top 40 in kenpom this year. i feel quite confident in that. but they need to sweep these games vs wichita and marquette, and then win at nebraska. otherwise the non con resume is a train wreck.
Lol top 40? No way Jose.
i think Currie had someone else as i don't see Leavitt taking the job if Bill was forced out
Yea would like to know who was curries guy. I would have liked to see Currie make the football hire, I don’t think he would have been as conservative as he was with his basketball hire.
"it became evident that we had more loyalty issues within our coaching staff than i could remember. over the years, people suggested that my loyalty toward our assistant coaches was one of my flaws because i had never fired an assistant coach. for the first time in my career, i had no choice but to release a member of our coaching staff following the 2016 season."
