I lived in SC, graduated from USC, but I always liked KSU, b/c I was born in KS and my dad taught at KSU. I even be-friended Don Kruger's son, Daniel, in pre-school. I didn't know y'all had a free message board like cockytalk.com, otherwise I would've come over here a long time ago.
First, saying SC is a bunch of racists is just about as accurate as saying any other state is racist...we got some, you got some...we all know it. The VAST majority of SC fans do not care what race Martin or his wife or his players are...as long as they win. This is what this move is all about, USC wants a winning program and USC believes Martin is the guy to do it.
Secondly, college B-Ball is a business, just like any other sport they sell tickets/tv time. KSU should be flattered that Martin was at the top of our list, that speaks leagues about what he has helped to do in Manhattan. USC has coaches sniped all the time by other programs...we just lost 2 coaches to PSU, 1 to Southern Miss, 1 to Tennessee and this seems to happen year after year. With success, people will look to be rewarded, so we are going to pay Frank more than y'all were willing to. That's all, it's a business.
Good luck next year, I'll be pulling for KSU to win the Big12 in football.
