oscar Weber facts

[SuperG]

re. OP:

I hope you're right j rake. I'm more than willing to eat crow and take massive amounts of heckling if it means great things for K-State basketball. But I'm not sure where you're coming from when you say you all of a sudden think he's a good guy. The guy creeps me out... the way he talks, the way he looks around the room with his eyes only half open, his weird smile... He reminds my of any number of youth group pastors/leaders from my childhood that creeped me out then... and for good reason.

"Waiting and seeing" is a five year ordeal at the very least. That's what's disturbing. With our fan base, because so many people will buy in to this guy, it could very likely be a 7 or 8 year ordeal.

Anyway... here's to State Hoops!

Fact:  Weber hates Wichita and will not play there.

You were saying:

When asked about individual players, he said a few things stuck out.
Martavious Irving – “I like him. He’s got a good body and a nice jump shot.”
Shane Southwell – “He is one guy I noticed. He’s got a great body and has some basketball instincts.”
Thomas Gipson – “Man does he have a big body.”

We paid Todd Turner $8,000 a day plus expenses for oscar Weber.

You'd be wrong, then. Behold: http://www.kansas.com/2012/04/03/2282939/weber-must-start-from-scratch.html

Highlight: K-State paid $40,000 to consulting firm — For his help during the hiring process of oscar Weber, Kansas State agreed to pay Todd Turner and his consulting firm Collegiate Sports Associates $40,000 plus pre-approved expenses.

Oh you have the duration of the contract?  Great work scoops!  You scooped us all!

[101cat]

Oh, I suppose a source is only reliable if Kat Kid deems it so. Please, instruct everyone on the proper art of douchebaggery, so we're aware the what's reported is only accurate if your Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) ass agrees. TIA

The facts were reported, and simple math can lead you to the answer, kid. Short of that, I can't help you.

[Kat Kid]

I guess it is possible that CSA was actually hired 26th.  I also find it plausible the contract was post-dated considering Frank's family has said to anyone that will listen that he was never tendered an offer despite what Currie says.  I mean I get that makes Frank looks good, but the alternative is believing John "what was that dollar figure I quoted again Brad?" Currie.  Tough call.  But I'm sure Kellis has every angle covered.  If there is anything that man is, it is thorough.

Weber is not a good person.  This is the biggest falsehood out there (other than the fact people also call him a good coach)

When NIT Bubbles (AKA oscar Weber) repeatedly says he is the only coach to take Illinois to the NC game, it makes him look arrogant. A humble person would never say this. I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first time but I've heard him repeat it so it made it realize it is part of his talking points, not just a one-off thing that popped into his Bubble brain. What makes it worse is he did it with Self's players.

The question of whether he is arrogant or humble was finally answered for me for good when he said he had the best 9 year stretch of Illinois basketball.  This is an arrogant statement and also a LIE.  See page 5 of Illini thread for proof http://forums.illinihq.com/topic/23780-weber-on-espn-1000/page__st__80

P.S.  Weber also had a kid almost die in a DUI wreck and one of his assistants tried to cover it up.  It all goes to the top.  Don't let Weber hoodwink the tucks!

I hate to say it, but if there's one thing that's true about K-Tucks, it's that they are very hoodwinkable.

Honestly, at this point the Illinois fan hate is making me like him more.

Why do you find hard to believe that our rube ass AD threw $50,000 of KSU's money for little or no work?

Dont think the hate for Weber is because we want to see you fail. 

I enjoy college basketball and like watching good basketball. 

I come in peace and want to give you guys a good understanding of what to expect.  He was here for 9 years.  He should have been gone after 4-5.  I dont want to see another fan base go through what we did.  The sooner he is gone, the better for you.  Too many people at Illinois fell for the dog and pony show for far too long.    It was a miserable experience.

I understand. I've been through much worse, I can survive Weber.

You guys never kept a guy for 6 years that had one winning record and no postseason appearances.

I don't think Weber can do worse than that and I think fan expectations have risen enough that it won't happen again if/when Weber does fail here.

If a BCS school hired Woolie wouldn't a few of you swing by their boards?

[michigancat]

opposite for me. Maybe you need to watch his farewell press conference? That's what I plan to do tomorrow.

I've watched part of it. Have listened to every interview he's given locally. Even went through and read a bunch of stuff from the Chicago Tribune this year. I've done plenty of Weber homework.

I think the quick turn around on Weber opinion indicates otherwise.  We'll see I guess.

Fact: oscar Weber prefers to eat his cereal with water instead of milk.

it is very, very hard to root against a winning team from your school.  even if your head knows you should, your heart will come up with a thousand ways to trick your head.  if the players stay, weber will have 99% of the fanbase by the end of next year.

a wise hater should burn his ships now, like cortes, because in the end we will be no stronger than any other.

Have you ever done a Google Images search on oscar Weber?

[steve dave]

yes, we discussed that a long time ago.  DON'T AT WORK!  DO AT HOME!
