Dear K-State Students,

I reach out to you asking for your help. Five years ago I was afforded the incredible opportunity of becoming the head basketball coach at our great University. This was a lifelong dream of mine. I have worked as hard as I can to bring back the greatness of K-State Basketball.

None of us are perfect. I continue to work at correcting the mistakes I have made. Moreover, I have done things I wish I could take back. However, in life you can't go backwards but you can always get better from the lessons. One thing that I have worked hard at improving is the language that I use at games and eliminating these moments. I cannot allow my competitiveness to blind me from the fact that I represent you, the great students of a university of higher education. As a father, and an educator, there is no place for this at any event in which I am representing K-State.

This is why I am reaching out to you. I have become aware that recently we have had some fan chants at Bramlage that use profanity. We ARE better than that. We have more class than that. As I work at completely eliminating profanity from my actions, I ask you to help me by not using chants that contain profanity. There is no place in education, or representing K-State, for any of us to use profanity.

As we head into the stretch run of the season, I ask the greatest fan base in college basketball to please help me. I need your help to bring K-State Basketball back to championships, and I also need your help as we represent K-State with the class this University deserves.

Love you all,

Coach Martin

Hopefully this means no more "motherfucking wildcats."

I would listen to a hundred F bombs before I'd accept morons yelling "Chiefs" at the end of the national anthem...

If people stop using profanity we won't suck anymore?

Yes he should have clarified that it is ok to drop F bombs but kick anybody out that does that stupid crap like that

JFC you double-standard POS. However, #TeamFrank

I like to say Brave in a deep voice instead of chiefs. It is all the fun that the chiefs sayers get but still patriotic.

We'll suck, but be nice, too.

Have we played well (i.e. MU) since they quit using that as the opening song? Frank’s fairly superstitious.

great point here

I am pretty sure I've seen people high five each other after they yelled "Chiefs" as if they've accomplished something.

It really bothers me, but during football season I get some satisfaction by looking at all the L's next to their schedule. Let them yell Chiefs, it's all they have left.

Just sent this email to Frank/ADJC:

Dear Frank Martin/ADJC, Please stop being such a lil bitch. Recently i've noticed you've been timid with your players, and not only that, but you've let Underwood run the team, effing underwood. I remember the good ole days when you use to PI your little heart out. As a request from a loyal fan, please stop being such a pussy. Start paying players again so we can get some elite recruits in here and effing make the OOD a place to be wreckened with again. Until this happens, I will haunt you, and your family and I will cypher your gas daily. I really wish it wouldn't have come down to this, but it has to be done. Sincerely, life long fan, The Fan Man xoxo

I know some of the things Frank has said during games this year, and I do not think he has gone soft with his players. Nor do I necessarily think he is making an effort to stop swearing. This has ADJC written all over it. Frank probably got the email the same time everyone else did

Frank hardly cusses anymore. At least he didn't Tuesday.

I hear Snyder has a potty mouth too. Maybe John will wash it out when he's changing his diaper.
