Kansas State Football / Re: ATTENTION LHC LHC Bill Snyder AND CLOSE CONFIDANTS: JOHN CURRIE FIRING RELATED THREAD

« on: July 27, 2012, 10:19:05 AM »

The compliance talking point is just baffling to me.

Why is this baffling to you?  Every major college program is dirty on some level.  NCAA by-laws aren't some legally binding law.  Why is it good for KSU to have a higher level of compliance than our competitors.  This puts us at a disadvantage against our competitors.  The point of internal compliance is to do just enough so that the NCAA stays off our backs.  It's not to go above and beyond in trying to find violations.  Every program is dirty.  Once we start digging deeper than others to find our dirt, deeper than the NCAA expects, we put ourselves at a disadvantage.  I'm pretty sure the NCAA doesn't expect compliance to go to the local Western Union and tell the clerk "If anything fishy goes on, bring it to me."

You can also just pretend you're at a turntable and talk like J-Rock from Trailer Park Boys. "You know what I'm say-wwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ing?"

You can't do a J-Rock without saying "Getaway Sticks" atleast once.

we are no longer living in the days of our loser piece of crap president and loser dumbass AD relying on one donor and ignoring the rest.  jack has much less pull than he used to.

Jack's also not the #1 donor.  I don't know if he was back then, but he's not now.

I used to be able to sit down with a bag of Fritos Scoops and a bottle of Green Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and down both in under an hour and not gain an ounce.  If I did that now I'd be praying for death 1/4 of the way in and gain 5 pounds.

he does not piss me off but the most overrated player by tucks would be Hubert.  I think Pease will cut into his playing time quite a bit this year and if Robinson could ever get his act together he might never see the field.

As much as it pains me to say it, I don't think you can blame Wallace on that one.  He is just using the Rivals system as it is intended to be used, i.e. one guy for Rutgers calls a kid, the kid says he has an offer to Kansas State, and the Rutgers guy pins the kid to KSU.  Wallace is just doing his job by calling the kid and finding out the Rutgers guy effed up.

i like bill blankenship.  midwesterny enough to please everyone.

If TU goes 9-3/10-2 the next couple of years, I'd be OK with it.  I'll go to 2 or 3 TU games this year and report back.  I've already shown how last year in games against non-top 7 teams they dominated.

By reading every one of you guys' responses, this thread can be summarized as:

1. If they would be a home-run hire, they would laugh in our face
2. If they would be a great hire, they would laugh in our face
3. If they would be an above average hire, they would laugh in our face
4. If they would be an average to shitty hire, they wouldn't leave their current position

JFC people, we aren't a deserted island with no idea what football is all about. Bunch of whiny butts.

We all thought that way about our B-Ball program, and you saw how ADJC crap his pants on that one.  Every coach in slots 1-4 is going to want to get paid.  Our AD is a guy who walks around with a laminated budget in his pocket.  He's not going to break his budget on the FB hire.  He wouldn't break his budget based on the cost of having to buy new laminated budget cards alone.

« on: July 25, 2012, 11:53:36 AM »

we reported that we had too many email/text contacts a while back, baby lockett was one of them IIRC.  Gordan was the recruiting coordinator, Currie said GTFOOMF.

That was with Michael Smith, his godfather, not Joe Gordon.  Smith thought he had a work around the NCAA rules, Currie said no.

I get the feeling this guy is leaving out maybe 1 or 2 small details.

Like rape and death.

I am thinking more like cannibalism for some reason.

Maybe one of his concubines is American and just needs some bone marrow or something.  If he asks to swab the inside of your mouth during the vetting process, then he just wants bone marrow.  That's still a pretty good deal to me.

THE SANCTIONS

Well the sanctions are damn tough Jim. Well I've heard enough about "how tough it'll be for the players, coaches, vendors, university and T-shirt sales persons. Well how lo g will those guys with the expanded butts endure the damage caused to themselves? I feel as if those guys are bearing quite a large load, guilt feelings, etc. Very poor example.e of our culturaldevelopment.

For those of you wondering if/hoping that Penn St transfers land at K-State, don't hold you breath. Judging by recruit databases anyway.

what on earth would he do without the internet?

tend bar at Tubby's during the day in addition to manning the 1s & 2s at night.

If the stuff that's coming out from the Penn State blogs and message boards today are any indication of their fanbase's overall current disposition, then the NCAA didn't go far enough.

i feel like my kids were just raped by paterno, curley, schultz & spanier.

 

^^  That guy also made a 9/11 reference in his post.   

That was the topic, this was the rest of his post: "I feel like the day of September 11, 2001. My kids are devastated. Have to attend all games this year to support the students, but also because this might be the last good year for a while. NCAA went too far. My wife is furious at Paterno." 

How do the PSU fans respond to this post?  You guessed it, they attack his wife for being mad at Paterno.

Sandusky has been charged now so those rape incidents will now be added to sexual abuse statistics.  The university has to report crimes, but it wouldn't have done so up until now without even a report or conviction.  What I'm saying is the DOE probably doesn't have a leg to stand on with federal money and reporting statistics.

I don't know the statue, but I would bet a large portion of money that said statue contains a clause against university officials knowing about alledge abuse and not reporting it to the proper authorities with the intent of covering it up.
