Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Something I've noticed about K-State fans
« on: February 07, 2013, 12:40:05 PM »
You guys get happier and more excited when KU loses a game than when your own team wins. Why is that? Is it because you enjoy the fact that KU fans are sad and disappointed after a loss? Do you get some sort of self esteem boost when this happens? Just curious. I got to thinking about this myself last night, and realized what a dick move it would be for me to want KU to win a 9th straight Big 12 title. Like, seriously, nine straight? Who needs nine straight? It's time to share the love with someone else this year. I hope you guys get to experience what it's like to win a Big 12 title. I really do.

Kansas State Football / KU, Weis copying K-State, Snyder

A very good, TSC article from Dennis Dodd:

Weis’ optimism is boundless. You have to give him that. Don’t call it a comeback for a man with four Super Bowl rings and two BCS bowls in his past. Call it a throwback. Snyder has used similar tactics for two decades at K-State. The man has become perhaps the best there ever was at procuring and developing juco talent. For Weis, there are worse coaches to imitate.
KU’s coach, then, is all in during his latest reincarnation -- with this recruiting class, with copying Snyder, with his job. If Weis whiffs on a few it could ruin his depth -- and the program. If he hits on most of them, KU is going to be a factor in the Big 12. Soon.
“I have to break through the barrier of us being Kansas,” he said.
Don’t let Bill Self hear that, but part of the statement rings true. KU football is an afterthought here most of the time. Part of the reason Weis took the job was seeing the possibility of that 2008 Orange Bowl, the program’s second BCS-level bowl in 39 years.
“Are they any good?” Weis’wife Maura asked her husband in December 2011 when KU AD Sheahon Zenger made the offer.
“No,” he replied, “That’s why the job is open.”
Weis took the risk. Just don’t call him complacent.
“Why not take a page from [Snyder]?” Weis said. “I told him that. Before the K-State game this year I wanted him to know: Unlike the rest of the Jayhawk fans who would never give kudos related to the Wildcats … I respect what he’s done.”

Kansas State Football / Is Snyder going to retire after this year?
« on: November 19, 2012, 06:27:28 PM »
Let's say K-State beats Texas, wins the Big 12, and beats some pud Big East squad in the Fiesta Bowl. Does Snyder retire? Are there any rumblings/grumblings within the elite, non-butthurt K-State 'cat fan circles?

Kansas State Football / Another day, another 4-star Army All-American to KU
« on: April 14, 2012, 04:43:31 PM »Quote
April 13, 2012
LAWRENCE, Kan. - Kansas football added another proven player to its roster in Anthony McDonald, who is joining the Jayhawks after transferring from Notre Dame. McDonald is scheduled to complete his degree in May, making him eligible to play for KU in 2012.
McDonald, a native of Burbank, Calif., played in 28 games for the Irish during his four seasons in South Bend. After sitting out the 2008 season as a true freshman, McDonald appeared in all 12 of Notre Dame's games during the 2009 season playing under then Irish head coach and current Kansas head coach Charlie Weis. McDonald, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound linebacker, collected 10 tackles in 2009 while playing primarily on special teams.
During the 2010 season, McDonald played in 11 games for the Irish and recorded 11 tackles. He tallied three tackles in games versus Michigan State, Stanford and Miami (Fla.). In his final season at Notre Dame, McDonald recorded three tackles, while seeing action in four games.
McDonald, who will graduate from Notre Dame next month with a degree in sociology, was selected to play in U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio following his senior season at Notre Dame High School, where he teamed up with fellow Jayhawk, senior quarterback Dayne Crist. McDonald, who was coached by Kevin Rooney at NDHS, was placed on the all-Southern California team by Southern California Football Coaches Association and Orange County Register and was also named to the first-team all-Southern California team by GoldenStatePreps.com after he recorded 79 tackles and one sack in 11 games during his senior season.
McDonald was ranked by Scout.com the eighth-best middle linebacker in the country and the 16th-best prospect in California. McDonald was considered the 22nd-best player in California by SuperPrep and the third-best linebacker in the state, while Rivals.com rated him No. 31 in the state of California and the 11th-best inside linebacker. McDonald's father, Mike, played at USC and was a long snapper for the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL.
With the addition of McDonald, Kansas has now signed 25 players to its 2012 signing class. The Jayhawks have added five players as Division I transfers, nine junior college transfers and 11 high school athletes.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Remember when Roy left KU...
« on: March 27, 2012, 03:03:17 PM »
...and we all thought his replacement would never be able to do better? Well, the same situation can be applied here. K-State can do better than Frank. The question is will they? Tad Boyle owned the sh*t out of Frank in his one year in the Big 12. He lead a meh Colorado team to a Pac 12 title and beat a pretty good UNLV team in the first round of the NCAA tournament. A guy like that could do big things at K-State.
The bottom line is you can't expect K-State to hire another Frank. There's only one Frank out there. When KU first hired Bill Self, I had a hard time accepting the fact that he wasn't Roy. Then he won a few Big 12 titles, clownsuited Roy in the Final Four, and won a national title. Be patient, 'cat fans. Currie just might surprise you guys and hire a good coach.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / ESPN/Sagarin all-time rankings
« on: March 23, 2012, 03:24:47 PM »Quote
We know what you’re thinking: How in the world did UCLA not come out on top? Well, as dominant as the Bruins were under John Wooden, they didn’t even rank as a top-40 program in the 1940s. Meanwhile, Kentucky hasn’t finished lower than 10th in any decade. We’re guessing you’re nearly as shocked by Northwestern’s No. 77 ranking—pretty remarkable for a team that’s never made the NCAA Tournament. But with eight Big Ten programs in the Top 20, the Wildcats have faced some of college basketball’s toughest conference slates for more than seven decades. Just goes to show how much strength of schedule matters. ABOUT THE RANKINGS: Only active Division I programs are listed in the all-time ranking. CHESS (named for the system of rating chess players) considers only a school’s wins and losses. PREDICTOR considers only its scoring margin. RATING is a combination of the two. YRS indicates the number of seasons in which the program qualified for ranking, beginning in 1937-38 (the maximum number is 72). Schools that played fewer than five games against other qualified schools during a season did not qualify for that season, nor did schools that did not field teams or were on NCAA probation. A small penalty was assessed to a team’s rating for every season in which it failed to qualify.
Top 30:
1 Kentucky
2 UCLA
3 Kansas
4 North Carolina
5 Indiana
6 Illinois
7 Duke
8 Purdue
9 Ohio State
10 Iowa
11 Louisville
12 Notre Dame
13 Michigan
14 Minnesota
15 Michigan State
16 St. John’s
17 Cincinnati
18 Oklahoma State
19 Utah
20 Oklahoma
21 Villanova
22 NC State
23 Syracuse
24 Marquette
25 Southern California
26 DePaul
27 Kansas State
28 Wisconsin
29 Missouri
30 Stanford
(LOL @ MIR, who insisted that K-State's program was better than Illinois')
