Dudez, as much as this guy blows...which he assuredly does...it is way better than the "Frank Martin Spring Junior College Jamboree." So, drink up

, and realize that this kid will be here long enough to develop to the point where he doesn't totally suck. BTW we need an ice cream cone emoticon.

wtf is an illini and what league are you guys even in?

As a long time Illini fan, it hurts to admit that your question is valid. After nine years of oscar Weber, Illinois basketball is irrelevant.

Now please give oscar a chance to take KSU to the same place.

It will be a mashup of deja vu and schadenfreude...

You have a sick obsession with oscar Weber.

Illinois fans get on my nerves. Taking oscar Weber out of the equation, I have yet to find many fan bases with such a delusional pedestal for their program.

They had a few really nice years with Self (and Weber). Other than that, historically, we're pretty much on par with them, and in a lot of ways, better.

Anyway, that's all.

A second article about Orris, more about his father than him:

Do you really have to argue that Illinois is better than KSU on a KSU board? They are nice enough allowing us to come on here to warn them of Weber. I would think it would be respectful to just leave it at though.

Let's get back to pointing about Weber's faults, how he refuses to acknowledge them, and how it looks like he is going to repeat them.

IlliniTillIDie · « **Reply #34 on:** April 15, 2012, 07:31:29 PM »

KSU has a proud tradition of basketball. That is why you should be horrified that Weber will build around Michael Orris. He will start for you even if there is a better player on the bench. The only reason we beat OSU as Weber loves boasting about is because our Orris this year got hurt. Weber is literally turning KState into a midmajor with his every move. In a year or two as bad as this sounds you will be rooting for Orris to get injured so you have a chance of making the tourney. I'm so sorry that is true.

Good luck to you guys enjoy the football season.

Of all the things about Weber that are scary (horrid recruiting, failure to take responsibility for his team, his clothes) the reports that he will start older but inferior players regardless has me pretty scared.

"The easiest way to describe him, I think, is that he is an Aaron Craft of Ohio State type of player. He is tough, gritty, and handles the ball well. He can score if needs to, but he prefers to get his teammates involved and going."

I didn't read any of them after I saw you linked to the Bleacher Report. That's like quoting Readers Digest in your thesis.

Regardless, don't we have more NCAA tournament appearances? Even after taking 20 years off?

I wonder if oscar peruses at Reader's Digest when watching the Weather Channel?
Have to admit, a behind the scenes with the Weber would be a good watch
Any ideas on what his daily schedule would be?

I understand that we're stuck with this piece of crap Weber for at least a few years, but I'm starting to get pissed off too. Who the hell fires their coach and then follows him to his next school just to continue running him into the ground? Total garbage fans, that's who.

You don't see us on Pepperdine or Oklahoma or Oregon boards. Illinois is garbage. I want to kick their ass right now.

Dear Illini,
The 2 day grace period you were given to expound on what a shitty hire our AD made is over. We got the message. Now get the eff out.
Sincerely,

Weber is going to be a god on the fitz site, if he takes the names off the jersey's, hikes up the inseams and does away with anything not purple or white he gets a statue next to Ern
So far boner fitz points:
1. No Profanity
2. Recruiting scrappy white kids
3. Gap tooth Mad Magazine look

Jesus Christ - Currie hired the white, basketball version of Turner Gill...

shazbot! I never thought you guys should of lost Frank...

But to be forces into oscar effing Weber - to only find out that its Turner Gill in sheep's clothing... no one, except for MU, deserves this.

Yeah, I saw that one was the bleacher report and didn't really want to use that link lol, but I did anyways. Even terrible reporting can be favorable at times haha. As for the NCAA tournament appearances, no sir. Illinois 29, KSU 26 oscar was nice enough to help us miss 3 of the last 5 yrs.....
