on paper, he may have the same credentials as Deb, but at a savings of 40%........so, that seems like a good business move to me. His first couple of years in the big twelve has been an adjustment, but that should be expected coming into a major WBB conference. Lets see, Deb has been in the big 8/12 for 18 years, and how has her last 2 years been?
I hope he keeps Shalee on board though
shut up, just shut up, damnit SHUT UP. Do people say stupid crap just to test my patience?

« on: March 19, 2014, 06:48:24 PM »If he had $ in mind when he fired Deb I'd sincerely hope he would heavily weigh revenue producing impact over the coaches salary. This hire makes me think he wasn't thinking about money because this certainly won't make a massive splash with season ticket sales in the short term.
There will be an increase in season tickets just from having Deb no longer being the head coach. Nearly every season ticket holder who gave up their tickets listed Deb as main reason why.
Well yeah, that isn't surprising at all. There are people who also have tickets who were very upset at Deb being fired. There is no guarantee the people who have up their tickets will come back just as it's entirely possible that people will drop because Deb was fired or Mittie was hired.
My point is that if this was revenue driven, it clearly wasn't, there are available candidates that would have sold a hell of a lot more tickets for the '14-'15 season. It isn't a very controversial or earth shattering stance at all.

Yup and you beat us twice, quite the burn to only win one more than us. Such ownage
We've beaten everyone we've played at least once this year, suck it KSU.

In two-legged CONCACAF competition (since 2002), MLS teams are 0-16-2 with -44 GD vs. Mexican teams in away legs.
19th time is the charm
don't even need the win, I'm perfectly good with changing that 2 to a 3

« on: March 18, 2014, 06:31:07 PM »He's been a pretty decent ball coach. The rough transition to the Big 12 was more because all he had at hand was tools to compete at the Mountain West level. Now he has the tools to compete at a Big 12 and National Level with an elite basketball facility to play with. It's a solid hire. I mean the Wichita State ball coach would've maybe generated more excitement, but this guy has has a winning pedigree. Besides Geno is the best women's coach of all time(no, not Pat Summit lulz), and he's obviously a dude. Get Shalee to stick around it remains a very good hire.
exactly, pretty decent, meh
I will say after looking at his resume it appears that he was TCU's Jody Adams, I am a little troubled by him seeming as if he's plateaued. His post season resume is very similar to Deb's, don't be fooled by that dumb post season stat that K-State is throwing out there. TCU has more than a few NITs in that run and very few NCAA wins. His best team was his 04-05 team. TCU had Michael Irvin's niece on that team she's like 6'7" and was just a couple of blocks from breaking the NCAA single season record. That team won 1 game in the tournament and they played that pod at home. At least Deb went to the sweet 16.I also wholeheartedly reject that point about them transitioning from the Mountain West. As we know TCU played in like 39 conferences in 7 years, but they were not dominant at all, ever. Jody and WSU were 30-6 against the valley the last 2 seasons with 4 titles.

« on: March 18, 2014, 06:06:50 PM »Is it possible that Currie, like 99.9% of humans, just doesn't give a crap about women's basketball and this hire reflects it?
If you don't care get the eff out, no one solicited your opinion. I've never understood why certain guys feel the need to tell people they don't like women's basketball without being asked, what are you trying to prove? Even people that don't like women's basketball wouldn't find this post particularly edgy or funny, why, most people don't like women's basketball.
I think I'm going to spend the rest of my life telling strangers, unsolicited, that I don't like formula one racing. I'm quite sure many people will care, a lot.

JFC, Currie tries so damn hard with these out of the box hires. I never thought of him, I'm not sure who did. I don't think it's ever a good look to hire a coach from a major conference that isn't playing in the postseason. I'm going to assume that Jody Adams said no, although I have no idea why she would.
The in conference hire is interesting, whomever TCU hires better not kick our ass. If TCU hires Jody Adams and she beats us I'd encourage everyone to do something drastic.
I don't get what Currie is doing with his hiring. At the time of hire Weber and Mittie were both relatively high risk and low reward but the floor for these guys aren't very low either, it's like trying very hard to accomplish meh.

Gordon too, 4 straight top 10s(!)
Need wins this year tho :(
He'll get in without a win and he and Gustafson know it. I have been very frustrated with Gordon the past few years, he isn't an aggressive driver which I have no problem with. I do have an issue with the crew chief never ever taking a swing with pit strategy. Every stop is on schedule with four tires and a full tank, shuffle to the back, move into the top 5, rinse & repeat. A combination of Hendrick, Gordon, and Gustafson have turned him into a safe top 10 machine

If you think this was at least partly a financial decision, and you've made it pretty clear where you stand there, hiring an assistant from somewhere else won't generate any revenue at.

No, this is unusual. I wonder when the NCAA will address the advantage these bubble teams are that are playing in the first four have. Since the first four has been instituted one of those teams have made the Sweet 16.

« on: March 16, 2014, 10:33:01 PM »That seems like not much time in between sessions to clear the arena. How does that work?
I thought maybe I was confused about how the sessions work and it's just one ticket for all four games, but @kstatesports' ticket email says otherwise.
So in a best-case scenario, the first session will end about an hour before the shock'r game tips off. Clusterfuck, no?
Yeah very weird..usually like 3 hours between.
I've been to a site like this before, usually the sites in the pacific and mountain time zones have to do this. They are aggressive in kicking everyone out, they take a half hour to sweep the aisles, then they let everyone in about 30-40 minutes before tip. There will be night session fans waiting at the door when day session fans depart. Normally the nature of tournament crowds make this a non issue but both sessions will be packed from start to finish so it will be interesting. I'm surprised the KU game wasn't the early game, it would have made this much easier to manage.

You and I went to a game together in the Ford Center, or whatever they've named it this year.
Chesapeake Arena. The building was finished in 2002, since we were there they've done a $120 million renovation. Meanwhile the old ass Key Arena is still sitting in Seattle all moldy and gross.
