Confirmed that MA loser leaving Missouri for Ark.

[The1BigWillie]

The only person that Lew "Lew'd" was the FBI.  KU has a bunch of shiny new facilities, a national championship, and a BCS Bowl thanks to Lew.  K-State would name the junior college after him if he did those things in Mantucky.

Absolutely.  Now you are getting it.  We would kill for a Lew of our own.  The point is though to understand the usage. You seem to be getting it so I'll let you get back to your validation work.  Have a great day 'Beems.   

[sonofdaxjones]

I wonder if ku paid those facilities workers overtime to slink over into Memorial Track and Field and Football complex to quietly take down that "Gridiron Club:  Coming Fall 2010" Banner in the middle of the night.    Meanwhile that "olympic sports complex" sits on the drawing board in Year 6 of its holding pattern.

I love Frank. Love him. But if he flirted with other schools three years in a row, then I couldn't care less if he left.

This line of thought is so basic.  If he happens to be so good at his job that competitors want to bid for his services every year, good for him.  If you were good enough at your job you'd do the same.  If he can keep getting Alden to give him cash then good for him.  If Mizzou was getting jerked around then Mike Alden is to blame.

MA is truely amazing.

Indeed.  Just think of this deviant on the recruiting trail.  I can only imagine.  I can only imagine...

Anderson just Lew'd Missouri.

You were oh so close to going an entire thread without bringing up your KU inferiority complex.  Like they say, though, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades! 

Yikes.  Me destroying you on the made up trust fund got you extremely upset and now you are stalking. 

I am sorry, but you bring it on yourself.  Like lying about playing AAU ball...blatant lies gotta be called out.

At this point people are only saying what they think will further their cause.

It's a basic line of thought if you actually think your coach is worth what he is asking. MA isn't worth 2 million a year. Neither is Frank. At some point you want your coach to be satisfied with his pay. How many times do you think you could go to your boss, tell him you have another offer that you would like him to match, before he shakes your hand and says "good luck with your future endeavors".

Like anyone else with a job, they are worth what someone is willing to pay them.  If this is a bidding war, there are at least two schools who feel he is worth it, so that makes him worth it.  If Mizzou doesn't want to pay him that, no one is forcing them to.  Mizzou is begging Anderson to shop his services & push up his price by playing into this game.

So it's impossible to overpay for something as long as there are two parties willing to do so?

Pretty much textbook supply and demand here. There's only one Mike Anderson and there's more than one buyer interested in purchasing Mike Anderson's services. This equals profit for Mike Anderson. More power to him.

The only instance where I think they could be accused of "paying too much" is if they don't actually have the money to pay Mike Anderson. I don't think this is the case... but perhaps Mike Anderson should check in to this before signing a contract.

Absolutely not true.  Just because some idiot (or idiots) are willing to pay $X for a good or service does not necessarily mean that said good or service has a value of $X.

I should have added that "supply and demand" and more generally the study of economics relies on "rational decision making"...history is full of instances where this isn't the case (in fact often times it isn't the case).   To think that because someone (or even more than one person) is willing to pay $X for something means that is the value and so therefore they are not "overpaying" for that something is absurd.

Anderson just Lew'd Missouri.

You were oh so close to going an entire thread without bringing up your KU inferiority complex.  Like they say, though, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades! 

Yikes.  Me destroying you on the made up trust fund got you extremely upset and now you are stalking. 

I am sorry, but you bring it on yourself.  Like lying about playing AAU ball...blatant lies gotta be called out.

I have no reason to prove to some no name butt hurt loser that I have a trust fund, nor do I have any desire to prove that I played AAU ball.  I haven't lied about either one, but please continue to one up yourself as the biggest butt hurt loser on goEMAW.

He is a KU fan that spends hours on a KSU board, of course he is a douche.

IIRC, Beems offered to prove that he had the trust fund.

Limestone's the one accusing me of being "poor" and "lying about everything."  Don't blame me for defending myself.

Well KU fans are inherently poorer than Cats fans.

Well all KU fans are "poor" compared to younger, richer, more fanatical q@ fans.  Probably all he meant, nothing to get worked up over.  

[EMAWmeister]

But you aren't actually defending yourself... You really haven't proved crap.

Science proves it. I guess Beems doesn't believe in science. What a weirdo.
