Frank owning Kellis/protecting Jake at the post game presser.....

[Cartierfor3]

BITB needs to open his show tomorrow letting Kellis have it.  Come on BITB, I know you read goEMAW.com.

Kellis is a effing uk fan who hates his job covering a superior athletic program in KSU.  It isn't hard to dissect this.  c'mon you dipsits.  He has been anti-EMAW for 2 years.

Sorry, there are other sports besides men's basketball.

Seriously, there are.

There hasn't been a media person yet who hasn't taken Kellis' side against, well, I guess against the customer.

That's what's so bizarre to me.  OK, media types don't like when Frank's mean to them.  I get that.  Frank doesn't like when media types go - in his mind - too far with him or his players.  So who decides who's right?  Me.  Us.  We can decide whether we'll continue to buy newspapers or read newspaper websites or purchase hoops tickets or gaudy KSU cowboy boots.  We can decide whether we support Frank or whether we heckle the living crap out of Kellis.  I simply don't understand why the media types think they can dictate how the customer feels just because of some media code or whatever.  

There's simply nothing wrong with EMAWs hating Kellis for being a racist squawk who pisses off our players and coaches and also does a lousy job of getting info on the team to non-premium goEMAW'rs.  I get that they want to stick up for their colleague and/or friend, but it's just not their place.  Kellis earned the hatred himself.  It's on him to deal with it.

To wrap it all up, my morning edition f the KC star has 4 paragraphs on the KSU game and a glowing article about the Morris twins and their borrowed/unoriginal F.O.E. motto even though they are the 2 biggest thugs in college basketball.  No mention of their criminal enterprises.

Also, a nice write up of Self and his time at IL.  No mention of leaving IL with NCAA violations up the ass.

WHAT A JOKE.

This post is full of butt hurt.

As people have noted there is a right way and wrong way to ask those types of questions when everything is so raw.  Meek did a much better job.  KU has the benefit of churning out crap journalists who would rather write a piece about how good the morris twins are at shooting BB guns and not mention the targets.  KSU needs to be more aggressive with how we handle the media.  If the Eagle wants to keep pieces of crap like Kellis on staff to write about KSU then they should be provided equally shitty treatment.  crap spots for their photogs, last questions at pressers, answers that are cut off because the team has to do something else, hell on a national stage like that, Frank should just flat out say he isn't taking questions from the Eagle in the future.

I don't blame Frank for protecting his guy, but I really don't think Kellis was out of line here. 

have to go back to your stupid ass comment for a sec...

assuming we actually should care, what information was Kellis trying to gather with his question? "How do you feel?" are you rough ridin' shitting me? uh, he probably feels badly, you rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). awesome question. really got something for the quick hitters there.

gmafb.

agree with kougs here.

Maybe he was going to write a fluff piece about Pullen and use the quote to provide emotion for the story.  Maybe he WAS being a dick.  We don't know.  We hate him because he is a KU guy, but he has followed the Cats for what 2-3 years now and has probably spent quite a bit of time with Jake in that period, hopefully he has grown to respect Jake as a person/player.  Maybe not.

BTW kougs, don't try to PI me.  You suck at it.

False.  First and foremost, I hate him because he's rough ridin' terrible at his job.  Just inexcusably awful.  It doesn't help matters that he's a "KU guy", but I would be willing to overlook that if he took his job more seriously and stopped sucking so hard.

But he is a KU grad, so I guess he's probably doing a bang-up job by those standards.

Fellas.  Come on, now.  The exact reasons for our Kelliss hate aren't important here.  All that matters is that we share a common hate.

Love ESPN's title for the vid. Very professional.

Don't all our MHK goEMAW'rs see Kellis at grocery stores, restaurants, etc.?

The way the media is trying to back up the POS Robinett reminds of the KSU-KU football game in 1991.  KU had more talent on the field, but Snyder had a team that busted butt which the KSU  staff coached well.  They beat KU by being smarter and taking advantage of opportunities (and having Grinnin' Glenn Mason vapor lock and make some horrid decisions in the game).

This loss did not set well with the homer KU media across the state (the press had already decided they hated Snyder due to his closed practices, refusal to release injury information, and limiting access to his players - and he didn't care, especially after he was mocked by some after his initial press conference when he accepted the job - Snyder's remarks that he saw the KSU job as an opportunity and he hoped to get his team into a few bowl games was the headline they utilized to make fun of the clueless new coach in Manhattan).  During the post game in 1989 Snyder was literally asked by some jackhole (I believe out of Topeka, may have been Paradis but I'm not sure) if he and the 'Cats were "embarrassed" about how they beat KU, being that they didn't "deserve" the win.

Snyder lit into him, putting him on the spot about what did his kids do to deserve such a statement/question.  They busted hard, played as a team, and won on the field.  Snyder was as about as p.o.ed I've ever seen him.

The press across the state edited the question out and made a story about how Bill acted in an unprofessional manner, and that he didn't know how to win graciously, and he was out of control.  At the time I lived in Emporia and received the KC, Wichita, and Topeka papers, and had local TV from all.  All were ruthless.

It is the nature of the press to defend its own.  They don't care about right or wrong.  They don't care whether their compatriot was an idiot/out of line/incompetent/chasing another agenda.  They never want to see someone challenge their ilk.  

All in all, the press reaction on this one has been rather mild compared to some of the crap of the past.  My guess is many realize they don't need to get on the bad side of Martin, for they need him more than he needs them (plus, some may think Robinett is a fool and not worth the time to stick up for).

I only wish there were more games at the 'gon so we could see if the others go Mean Girls on him.
