Frankites and Tucks

[gatoveintisiete]

1.  Frank is not a tuck.  If he convinces the tucks he's a tuck, he's doing his job.
2.  Caring about the players and emphasizing "teaching them to be men" does not make Frank a tuck.
3.  Frank constantly calls our players FP TC etc., on national TV, with the cameras on him.  This is not tuck.
4.  Frank has leveraged his job multiple times- not tuck.

Feel free to add to this manifesto.

I don't have time tonight to go through all the erroneous statements in this post, but it is all covered on my website.

Hasn't Frank, at some point, worn a velvet jumpsuit while conducting practice?

I'm pretty sure most tucks would avoid this.  They prefer their velvet for paintings.

More students behind the goals might be the most idiot talking point i've ever heard in my life.

"I don't really know what the setup is there"

[jtksu]

Snyder pretty much never suspends players, unless the law dictates it.  Frank suspends dudes every year for not doing things the right way.  Who's the tuck now, bitches?!

[ednksu]

Frank does have the wetdream of tuck shoes in his powercat cowboy boots.

Well it's actually not an "idiot talking point" and only an actual idiot would say that, only a kid trying to play the "too cool for school" card would say that, and sorry Swift, that school has high admission standards.   Thing of those standards as being like the standards UPKS tells USNWR every year that K-State has for admission.   

What real basketball arena, what tough place to play gives the oppossing team a lovely, dark purple tarp to shoot into from the FT line at their end of the floor in the 2nd half??

That problem is easily solved without revamping the whole ticket allocation system.  Built a rampway/catwalk thing that extends off the tunnel that runs to a platform for DJamer Johnno, who in addition to being responsible for pumping out fresh jams, can act a fool during opposing free throws.

Now focus on the aspiring cult leader who huddles around a radio with his seven kids listening for background f-bombs, and Frank's purported preference to being called out about them on the radio vs. myswabash'rs e-mailing Currie about them.

That guy had an incredibly jumpy voice and apologized multiple times before expressing his idiotic comments with rehearsed force.  It was a nearly perfect representation of tuck.

AAAAAND HAD NEVER ACTUALLY BEEN TO A GAME

[CNS]

Pretty much every national guy who comes to our games talks about how amazingly loud it is on the court, more so than most other places.  This is more important than having a thou waving hands when some dumbass is shooting a free throw.

Note: players shoot under the waving-hands conditions all the time.  I don't think it is as big of a deal as some do.

Would rather have several thou sitting right on top of the middle two thirds of the entire court yelling.

1. Incredible response from Frank. The ability to sorta compliment someone while at the same time sorta calling them an idiot is a people skill that shouldn't be taken lightly.

2. Smoller is going to be great as the next VOTW. Looking forward to it actually.

3. The design of the OOD is what it is. I appreciate we've kept the students where them being loud has the most effect. And there is no way we can change the tunnel behind the basket without reconfiguring the entire arena because the students can't be behind the benches anymore like they were in the Asbury and part of the Wooly eras. Waving arms on free throws is an overrated talking point IMHO.

I assume this talking point matches up with statistics that would easily prove that road teams shoot much worse at schools that have students behind the goals than at KSU.

1.  Yes, that was more jedi-ish than anything Beems ever did.

2.  Also, yes, there have been a number of Smollerisms over the past few days he's been covering I've smiled at.

3.  DJamer catwalk/booth.  Band fired/relocated.

[Trim]

Weird, I really thought the most interesting thing about that call was the f-bomb part, including his personal living situation, "tighten it up," and Frank's dismissal/compliment while mocking those who e-mail Currie.  But I guess the typical "move the students" bitch is noteworthy too.

[kitten_mittons]

Oklahoma State shot FT's really well in Stillwater because we don't have fans waving their arms behind the backboard in Manhattan.

I really like the DJamer idea to replace the tarp.
