Kansas State Football / Re: Smoke your cigars and enjoy the band while you can....
« on: June 26, 2025, 09:11:24 AM »I like how creative Yormark is at getting that bread

It should include Venmo since it's owned by PayPal. The power of this by school will be measured by individual contributions to athletes?

That used to sound like a lot of money until NIL figures started getting thrown around.

If the grim reaper took Stephen Miller, I would not protest. RIP Steve Miller, recognizer of coaching talent.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Best thing you've bought recently
« on: June 19, 2025, 02:56:37 PM »
Bought a canoe/kayak carrier with wheels to get my craft up the boat ramp without having to carry them. It feels good to wheel past people schlepping their boat up the ramp. https://i5.walmartimages.com/seo/Ktaxon-Kayak-Canoe-Jon-Boat-Carrier-Dolly-Trailer-Tote-Trolley-Transport-Cart-On-Yellow-Wheel_3a36c7c4-87ef-4a55-9ae4-6907898e12c4_1.1b49f1cac59d706c81bfa3cebd02d69a.jpeg?odnHeight=573&odnWidth=573&odnBg=FFFFFF

Kansas State Basketball is hard / Re: It's time we have a conversation about Bill Self
« on: June 06, 2025, 10:28:54 AM »The real question: is ku - culturally speaking - ready for a black head basketball coach? I’m not sure the fans are quite ready for that. But when that day comes…#jacquesandawe
The dad of a guy I worked with was Wilt Chamberlain's roommate at KU. He said that despite all that Chamberlain did for KU basketball, he was treated poorly in Lawrence because he was black. He described situations where townies would spit at him, call him the n word, etc. I don't know Lawrence has ever been as progressive as some of the alumni wish to pretend.

Kansas State Football / Re: The KU Rayhawks are NOT going through a rough patch. They make Raytown, Missouri proud!
« on: May 28, 2025, 09:11:55 AM »What I don’t particularly like, is that whenever this The Streak comes to an end, good chance its going to happen in what appears to be a soccer stade. History Awaits!
Damn, that sucks.

Kansas State Football / Re: How good is Will Howard???
« on: May 07, 2025, 04:52:31 PM »not going to try and link an instagram reel but there is a pretty great clip on the hurdles account of jon gruden saying that our guy Will turned him onto the artist YoungBoy, and then it just turns into a pretty great will howard combo OSU/KSU highlight reel

Kansas State Football / Re: Wild Wildcats in NFL Draft
« on: April 11, 2025, 03:38:19 PM »If someone would have asked me, how many wide receivers get drafted and signed as a free agent on any given year, I wouldn't have guessed anywhere close to 142 dudes. That seems like a ton of guys.
Yeah, that's nearly 5 WR per team. That's a lot.
Teams need a lot of bodies for camp and they all keep a WR or two on their practice squad.
I was thinking in terms of number of shattered dreams.

I guess AJ Storr took Jayhawk fans racist comments seriously, On3 Sports is reporting he's entered the transfer portal.

Even great coaches are wrestling with the NIL and transfer portal dynamics. Tang has demonstrated some degree of mastery of this dynamic, now he has to figure out how to make the players he recruits play as a team. He did a good job his first year, and has struggled since. It comes down to how much faith we have in Tang to make his recruiting victories translate into wins on the court.

KU's fall hurts us as well. Many less-informed fans likely think the Cats just got blown out by the Mormons.

There's got to be a book of coaching inspirational quotes somewhere. Left to his own devices, "it's all in the wrist" is about as profound a statement Massa Seff could come up with on his own.

I thought Self was going to twist off after the question about losing to Moo and K-State in the same season, and I think he wanted to, but he recovered nicely and gave a legit answer.

I've seen plenty of meth heads that look healthier than that.

Maybe he can conjure up some blocking schemes that compel Dallas to make better use of Deuce. I watched a game where his only carry was up the middle, it convinced me that Mick McCarthey is a dope.

From Cyclone Fanatics:
"We lost by 19 and were favored by 14.5 against the worst team in big 12. AT HOME. It does not get worse than this. Steve prohm never had a loss this bad. **** I doubt McDermott did either."
"I’m wondering how many games we have lost by double digits with a power rating differential in the high 90s… doubt if there are many of those. This was a bad game no matter how you look at it. It looked bad when we were 5-5 from 3 and losing…"
"But anyone is an idiot if they don't think this was a historical loss, probably the worst in Hilton ever.. Q3 home loss, as a 16 point favorite, to a sub .500 team, and lose by 20 points...Embarrassing isn't strong enough of a description"
Well I base my identity and self worth on how my alma mater performs in college athletics so this is a pretty bad night for me. I got the car running in the garage tho, just gotta hook up the hose."

Pivotal moment for Massa Seff - can he get his team to beat an Iowa State team looking to come off an ugly loss to our Cats? Is his group of All-Americans pissed enough at the collapse in Waco to come out swinging? This looks like it will be a game for the ages.
