Kansas State Football / Re: Can Vol fans get a wiki on why Currie is a horrible hire at Tennessee?
« on: April 03, 2018, 10:25:37 PM »That’s now. This was Chipotle in its infancy, at least in Manhattan. Times were very different back then, my friend.
Chipotle brought free burrito samples to my place of residence when they first opened when I was an undergrad at K-State. Times were not different then, my friend.

« on: April 03, 2018, 10:17:06 PM »That's a worthwhile cause. Not gE'ing.I've written similarly futile (though cathartic) letters in the past.
One time in my Canadian friend's younger years, he wrote an angry letter to the Manhattan Chipotle telling them they weren't filling their burritos big enough.
Why not just ask them to put more in the burrito? I've never had a problem getting them to put more in when I ask nicely.

« on: March 30, 2018, 02:53:43 PM »This stupidity just pushes gE further into obsolescence.
Serious question: Do you think I, or any of the other owners of this site, give two shits?
Goodness. I bet a couple of very important people who can present a quick and compelling argument why you should.
Disagreement is what message boards are built from but the aggression from the last two pages seem unnecessary and counterintuitive.
What did you bet them?

« on: February 27, 2018, 01:00:31 PM »Luke Walton was an assistant for 2.5 seasons before he got the highest profile job in the NBA.
There are other current assistants like Jerry Stackhouse, Coby Karl, Corliss Willamson, and Mark Madsen who could absolutely get mid-major jobs if they wanted them, and none of them coached with Pop.
And there's other former players who got jobs with far less experience like Rex Walters and Kevin Ollie.
Why are Corliss Williamson (head coach at Central Arkansas) and Mark Madsen (assistant at Stanford) on this list?

And as an added bonus, they're improving Royals' ability to rebuild by signing elsewhere. Wins all the way around!

« on: February 11, 2018, 08:18:05 PM »i don't think kstate played that poorly. tech is just a good team and a few shots didn't go and it kinda got away at the end. but, i'll discount the negative kenpom effect on this one just like i did on the wvu game. kstate is better than kp 57.
You're absolutely right on this one. KenPom reconsidered and bumped us up to 55!

« on: February 05, 2018, 10:12:14 PM »Royals have one of the most draft allotments in baseball this year. They may have four first round picks already have two for their Cain supplemental pick A and their regular draft pick in first round. May have two more with moose and Hosmer. 5 top 50 picks is possible for the 2018 draft, this will help the rebuilding of the farm system. But have to draft well.
we are going to end up signing Hosmer, and Moose is going to end up signing a 3/30 or something stupid and we won't get any picks for him leaving us with only 3 in the top 50
My understanding is that if Moose signs a 3/30 or something less than $50 million total value, we'll get a pick that comes after Competitive Balance Round B. Competitive Balance Round B comes after Round 2. Granted, it's not a top 50 pick, but it's not nothing.

My absolute, 100% most favorite thing about oscar is that he is not immortal.
I hope.
I also like that he does not have any sons.

« on: January 13, 2018, 08:01:41 PM »The early returns are Kam getting hurt is good for K-State basketball.
The line up needs to be Diarra, Kam, Barry, Sneed, Wade 50% of the time when Kam comes back.
This statement, which I agree to be true, sums up almost every aspect of why oscar sucks as a coach.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: Roll call! Who is on board
« on: January 06, 2018, 10:42:20 PM »we'll beat ISU again, win 3 against Texas/Baylor/OSU, win 1 or 2 against the big 5. So we'll be 7-11'ish. Classic oscar year.
To your point, when Huggs / Frank came on board my thought was that KSU had to consistently be better than OSU, ISU and Tech to stay out of the cellar of the B12 (realizing that Tom and Wolly had us in the cellar). Including tournament games, Frank managed to go 16-7 (70%) against these three teams. When oscar was hired and we added crummy TCU to the conference and started playing everyone twice, I thought that this would be a great deal for KSU... oscar started out well going 12-5 in the first two years, but now into year six we've fallen to 25-20. The traditional bottom has surpassed us and I don't see WVU, KU, and OU don't seem to be slowing down...
How can we be over .500 against these teams but they've passed us? That math doesn't work.
My guess is that all of the numbers mean that we are 13-15 against those teams since the first two years.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: any updates on Love or McGuirl
« on: December 11, 2017, 09:46:12 PM »From coach Woscar:
"James Love, a 6-foot-11 redshirt freshman, has recovered from a foot injury and Weber hopes to start using him fully in practices sometime around Christmas.
Mike McGuirl, a 6-2 freshman guard, is also healthy and currently practicing with the team. He has not played this season, so he might opt to redshirt and start fresh next year. But if he practices well over the next week and it appears he is deserving of playing time, Weber said he will let McGuirl choose whether to burn his redshirt or remain on the sideline."
Yeah, the calvary is coming. Big 12, put on your titanium jocks, the wallies kickers have arrived.
I agree that about the only thing that can save this team at this point is the Son of God.

Kansas State Football / Re: Terrible KSU Coaching Decisions Thread
« on: November 11, 2017, 08:56:37 PM »Okay, so for posterity's sake, here's what just happened.
K-State is down 21-20 right at the end of the first half. We scored our previous TD with about 1:30 left in the half or so; kinda worrisome because they have shown a propensity to score fast. But NOPE! Our D comes up with its 4th turnover of the game with ~:45 left in the half! Holy crap, we're down one with nearly a minute and two timeouts left, and we have the ball at about our own 40 yard-line! What will we do??? Will we...A) Throw a few 8-10 yard outs, call time out, and kick a field goal right before half, B) play it safe and sit on it, content to take it to the lockerroom down one? C) Do a weird hybrid where we simultaneously do both and neither, and end up with a dogshit result/?
If you said C, you are CORRECT!
Here's how it played out.
On 1st and 10 from our own 40, with 2TO left, we get sacked. Okay, fine, it happens. We should probably call one of our two timeouts so we can stop the clock, right? Nope, it seems since it's now 2nd and 14 from our own 36, we're just gonna let the clock run out. Okay, that works.
HEY WAIT, WE RAN ~25 SECONDS OFF THE CLOCK AND THEN DECIDED TO RUN A PLAY WITH LIKE 15 SECONDS LEFT? WHY???? Well, at least we're going to throw it downfield, right? Nope. Instead, we throw a.....screen pass?!? Oh and btw it got intercepted with 10 seconds left.
Ensuing play from scrimmage....10 seconds left, Will Grier eludes our laughable pass rush a la Bish vs. Ohio U., and then...well...a wide open WVU receiver catches it in the end zone.
Instead of us going up 23-21 or maybe even 27-21 right before half, our shitty, indecisive coaches, amidst a chorus of boos, led the team into the lockerroom down 28-20.
And we have to kickoff when we come out in the 3rd quarter.
Chip Kelly and the halftime crew were basically LOL'n at our shitty-ass coaches.
Since it's for posterity's sake, I thought we ran the ball with Warmack on 1st and 10 (instead of being sacked on a pass play).
You’re absolutely right, thanks. Somehow I had forgotten that. In fact it makes the screen pass even more WTF’y, if you think about it. So we hand the ball off with 40 seconds rather than try to throw and strike downfield. Clearly gonna just run out the clock if we’re calling run plays. Nope! Better throw a weird screen to the coach’s son with 15 seconds left so we can officially make this the most inept exhibition of clock management yet so far this season.
It's why I thought it was relevant. I was pretty ticked we were running out the clock with 2 timeouts, but was willing to chalk it up to Snyder being Snyder. Then we come out throwing on the next play and my head basically exploded. My wife actually had to tell me that my one-year old son was about to cry.
