Have there been any submissions with "Warm Up The Tractor"?  I don't have any design in mind, but the possibilities are there.

I would love that one.

Pete, ask him what he thought about his mother formng a noose from his umbilcal cord.  That should send some 100 proof self medication right down the hatch.

24-4, about to tie the school record for wins and folks worry about things that are irrelevant to the here and now.  Kinda "phog"-ish really.

All powetardness aside, did we look tired or something?  I kind of thought we were.  There were times when we seemed content jogging it up and frank had to chew ass mid jog to get denis to push it. and the exception was going hard after a rebound or loose ball, the rule was lazily getting after it.  maybe it's just what mu makes teams look like, I dunno.  it's almost like when we're at home, we assume we're going to get the rebound, assume we're going to get the call, assume we're going to hit the shot, assume we're going to come back.  I thought the only two games in conference where we played with any real and true aggressiveness was ut and ku.  the rest we kind of sleeped walked through. 

I sat behind the MU bench as a guest. And to me the team just looked really frustrated on O. I do think it had a lot to do with the D MU was playing.  It was aggressive (much like KSU's) and was quick to beat our players (especially the guards) to favorite spots for looks. That led to Lou holding the ball on several straight possesions, which resulted in a possible TO, missed shot, or short clock to work with. Credit MU for a pretty solid defensive effort.

Being inefficient in those possessions only magnified the issue of rebounding. They sent 4 to the defensive board and were perfect on box outs for most of the game. From my perspective this led to some anxiety on part of the team to make a play. And eventually they did.

I thought the D by KSU was outstanding for the most part.  The didn't seem flustered at all on D after so many empty possesions on the other end.  Credit Frank and company for keeping their heads in that situation.

It's amazing what an incident that involves even slightest tinge of race brings out the whitest of the white to point a finger.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: Is this our 1998?

« on: February 22, 2010, 08:50:01 PM »

I don't think they are comparable.   

1988 was a most brutal live experience in Detroit for me.  After knocking off Purdue, I was certain the Cats were destined.  For greatness.  Instead it was devastation.  I've lived through them all.  1973 losing to Larry Kenon and Larry Finch led Memphis State Tigers. (they annihilated KSU)

The Darrell Winston tip in that didn't count against Marquette. The 1975 Syracuse EE game  that went to OT.  Chuckie went off for 35.

I don't really care how we flame out.  I want it to be spectacular.

BT was responsible for bringing Big 8 basketball to a nationally recognized level.  Tubbs was a star and he recruited stars. He was responsible for KU shiotcanning Ted Owens and hiring Larry Brown.  Much like Frank, the LBBIQ types accused him of lacking coaching skill and playing "streetball".  Hardly the case.

He made Norm Stewart recruit harder in Detroit.  He moved Jack out and Lon in. The guy was incredible.

I'm not sure who we would have if Bennett had not left, but can you imagine how big that MF'er would be after 4 years of Greenie? And to have another 5 fouls in the post never hurts. (AND HE WOULD HAVE USED THEM)

The seemingly endless "almosts" and "near misses" during the Wooly era.  I care not to list all of them, but there seemed to be 20 or so games where they came back from a big deficit only to lose in heartbreaking fashion. Or have a late lead only to collapse in the last 90 seconds.

The one that is foremost in my mind is a game in 2004 (?) against SLU.  For some reason that one has stuck out for me.  I think I knew in my head that "this is Wooly" and that specializing in excruciating losses would be his legacy. Down 10, the Cats roar back and take the lead after Cartier scores 10 straight.

Up 2 with 00:21 seconds Cats miss the front end of a 1-1 (Frank Richards?). SLU races downcourt and take the ball to the hole, get a rough ridin' layup and foul. Hit FT, SLU ahead with 6 seconds. Cats take ball upcourt and - in typical Wooly fashion - the pass gets tipped and stolen.

Game over. Lose by one. Hate Wooly from that day forward. Quit season tix. I wanted him fired that day.

I was hoping Jamar would break the backboard when he threw that sh*t down.

I hammered the roof when CK dropped  that 15 footer at about the 5 minute mark.  Right after they cut it to 4 and Frank called a 30.  CK off a pass from DC.  Think CK got a steal after that and scored again on a feed from Dom.
