Currie Presser 10 am Tuesday

[steve dave]

I think there is more to the receipt than that

We won't ever know.

we should hire a grizzled private investigator to get to the bottom of it

[MakeItRain]

Oh Bullshit, some of you guys are over reacting little babies.

They are answering tough questions, one of the last times K-State had a press conference like this the rough ridin' president and AD got up there and cried . . . cried like little school girls.

Sorry, Frank is NO LONGER EMAW . . . Understand NO LONGER EMAW.

I get sick of people who make coaches out to be bigger than Kansas State, they aren't.

Hate on Currie or even Schulz, but as of right now, they ARE EMAW, FRANK MARTIN IS NOT!!

Only person talking about Frank Martin here is you.  Frank Martin didn't have these assholes lying about their relationship with Frank when they knew it was going to be asked.  Frank Martin didn't have them talking about finding receipts in the trash, I mean on the ground, no no in the trash.  Frank Martin didn't make them name drop Cliff Rovelto and Susie Fritz.

We're all glad they had a press conference.  Most of us wishes they had it at 11AM, and all of us wishes they didn't bomb it.

If they would have cried maybe they wouldn't have given the impression that they were robots programmed by a 9 year old with downs syndrome.

Where did I say I agreed with everything Currie said, where did I say I don't think Currie is a snake? 

But you also don't get up in front of the whole country and cry because a basketball coach left your school either.

didn't say that you did.  Why do you keep comparing this to the Huggins press conference, are those the only two you've ever seen?  The people and the circumstances couldn't be any different.

[wabash909]

currie is not emaw.

ks might be but he's a dumbass.

The last AD that was EMAW, Max Urick sucked . . . Tim Weiser was kind of EMAW and sucked slightly less than Urick. 

I am saving my outrage on Currie until I see who he hires.

 

Bob Krause was pretty EMAW. He also sucked.

If Bob Krause was here so would Frank Martin.

Instead, we've got an AD actively pursuing other jobs, some nice renderings of football expansion that hasn't been funded and a sizable donor base that hates the AD's guts.

Pick your poison.

The receipt thing is so WTF

It's like Currie was trying to be really secret and choose his words extremely carefully.

Then he went on to give one of the most absurd and unexpected explanations I've ever heard.  It literally sounded like he was making up a lie right there on the spot.

I think he was lying

I wonder if its to protect the snitch.  Once Jamar tossed the receipt its fair game.  If it was still on the counter or with Jamar/his property its a host of other issues.

It could be to protect the snitch, but why protect him? We need to discourage this type of activity. Not naming names only encourages it. It's pretty obvious Currie was lying about something. I believe somebody showed him a receipt I don't really believe much else about his story.

[Fuktard]

reciept was NOT found in trash/on floor, etc...please.  Garth Gardiner's comment is very telling, and disturbing for KSU Cat fans.

[SkinnyBenny]

The receipt answer was complete bullshit. First some guy found it in the trash, then on the ground, no I mean the trash....

In no way do I believe a single rough ridin' word of that. I have no idea what happened irl, but finding a receipt on the floor and/or in the trash is the most ridiculous thing to say ever, and I can't believe our AD didn't have a better lie planned out before that exact second, which is clearly when he came up with it.

Loved the follow-up question from, I think, Deb, was it?

It was basically, "So.......if someone found it in the trash and sent it to you, can you describe what it looked like?" Then he paused, crap his pants a little more, and stammered through a bunch of other crap that started out as "hypothetical" but then apparently stopped being hypothetical???

Amateur hour.  And I loved every second of it.

How many other press conferences at K-State regarding men's basketball in the last 5 years has their been?   By my count . . . FOUR as of today.

It's been funded.

Bob Krause would have retained Frank Martin, but I don't believe he would have been able to secure the donations for the basketball training facility and the stadium upgrade. Currie is better than Krause. I still want him fired.

[steve dave]

what percentage of people in Manhattan KS know who Curtis Malone is?  2%?  And one of these people just came across a receipt that showed he sent one of our players $200.  Fine.  What percentage of people in Manhattan KS who know who Curtis Malone is AND happened across a receipt for a money wire to one of our players AND also know that it would be a violation AND would want to turn it into the AD for their handling?  It's not reasonable that this is what happened. 

Something is afoot 

[wabash909]

Enjoy the Currie comedy show while it lasts, kids.  He'll be out the door by Summer's end and most likely departing for a perceived lesser job just like Frank.  There's no way he survives this.

Thankfully, he'll have hired a new coach for us by then!

no.

Once it is out of his control its fair game.  Not where I also made reference to his property.  So if the receipt was stolen out of his car/apt/book bag its illegit.

none of them relevant to today

Where are you going with this, do you think they did well stammering and lying about nearly every answer?

One other thing that struck me was the not so smooth page read for his opening statement.  Could he not do that without a full out typed manuscript?  Christ, he has been the AD here for 3 years.

[Rage Against the McKee]

So do you think Currie had Jamar followed? He had to come across the information somehow.

[Winters]

When does the "home run" hire happen? A Week?

[HELLHAMMER]

It's nice to know there are townies that are just as big of a bunch of assfucks as they were 20 years ago.

[Dugout DickStone]

false

I hate to get all lawyer-ie but any public trash can has no expectation of privacy.

On the bright side, the AD can't claim privacy concerns now because they spilled it and it will almost guarantee a KORA request has to be honored.

[WildCatzPhreak]

There's only one (maybe two?) homerun hires that are realistic.  They both have show cause attached to them.

[Three Fingers]

Meanwhile...at the K-State press conference....

[wabash909]

some nice renderings of football expansion that hasn't been funded

It's been funded.

To say it's been funded is completely inaccurate.

It's been financially projected through estimated donations to service the debt.  And the $50 million in bonds the project is reliant upon have not been sold.

[Rage Against the McKee]

When does the "home run" hire happen? A Week?

It's going to be Tad Boyle and it's not a homerun. That's getting to first base on a dropped third strike.

[sonofdaxjones]

I completely agree, the whole receipt explanation is bizzare, which leads me to believe that someone was on the look out for this, which then leads me to believe that this had happened before. 

So, was Currie trying to entrapment Jamar/Frank . . . I say yes.
