Kansas State Basketball is hard / Re: It’s time to have a conversation about Jerome Tang
« on: March 11, 2025, 09:45:58 AM »
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.

And blue bloods will go back under the table.
how would this work?
A guy I worked with told he his dad was roommates with Wilt Chamberlain back in the day. One day, an new Oldsmobile convertible showed up in front of their dorm, and a guy handed Wilt the keys. This may be one avenue to consider - AJ sure seems to like that lavender Corvette.

« on: January 30, 2025, 11:02:39 AM »Dellinger has more details:
-13 football games per year from streaming on ESPN+ to linear on TBS\TNT
-15 basketball games to TBS\TNT
Starts next season and as a sub-license doubt we see more $ just better exposure.
https://sports.yahoo.com/big-12-football-on-tnt-new-deal-will-feature-13-football-games-on-wbd-channels-after-settlement-135956401.html
If ESPN is having to sublicense, does that mean it has more game inventory than it can air on its linear and streaming platforms? Asking for a friend that wondered why Big 12 got partially relegated to sublicensing.

If his teammates think that highly of Will, he must be a stand-up guy.

Kansas State Football / Re: Wild Wildcats in NFL Draft
« on: January 22, 2025, 04:42:38 PM »Kiper's latest position rankings has Howard at No. 6 QB (above Ewers), but no other Cats in the top 10 at any position (presumably Giddens, Parrish and maybe Kilty just outside the top 10)
Howard is benefitting from recent good play (and therefore getting hype), but no way will he go higher than Ewers.

That's the traditional start for the Cats at Allen. It would be unusual for them not to be down double digits 2 minutes into the first half.

I thought you were going to ask if a Div I head coach ever moved down to be a HS coach (besides Art Briles).

« on: January 11, 2025, 08:17:14 AM »The big question is if Will Howard starts a big time NFL game where will he say he went to school? Will Howard, Kansas State....or Will Howard, The Ohio State?
Odd how Adrian Martinez is credited with being a Nubb QB when he finished his collegiate career at K-State. Don't see the same happening with Will Howard. He'll be remembered as an Ohio State QB.
