Met Weber at the Airport Wednesday...

[ChiComCat]

I blame oscar Weber for being oscar Weber, which can be a humourus thing when he is coaching somewhere else.  I hate John Currie for thinking a oscar Weber is an acceptable coach for our basketball team.

[kim carnes]

You wished for this KC and here we are. How do you feel now?

the toilet flush was for this thread you idiot.   i'm excited for this season.

[LickNeckey]

That's neat for you Kim!!!!!!

[Berries and Cream]

i hate weber. it's not his fault, but i hate him anyway. and yes, we absolutely should have hired a tv analyst. we are naturally at a disadvantage, we have to think outside the box and make "risky" moves. huggs and frank were both ballsy and risky moves. and man, was it fun.

Hiring Huggy was in no shape or form a "risky move". Ballsy, maybe, solely from a PR perspective. But he had top recruits already on board, obviously is a great coach, and was going to give KSU attention in basketball for the first time in nearly two decades. It was a no-brainer decision. There is an immense difference between hiring Huggins and hiring someone like Gottlieb. I would have liked to see what Dougie could do as a head coach out of pure curiosity, but there's no way any sane AD was going to hire him.

neither of those moves were risky.   huggins had like 600 wins and bill walker in his back pocket.  we had to keep frank and dalonte to keep beasley, pretty easy decision.

Frank deserves an equal amount of blame here.

lol.  what a stupid and uninformed thing to say.

The threads after each win where all the Weberites are all "I told you so" and the threads after each loss where the haters are all "No, I told YOU so" are going to get old really fast. 

[CHONGS]

The threads after each win where all the Weberites are all "I told you so" and the threads after each loss where the haters are all "No, I told YOU so" are going to get old really fast. 

we've had that for the last three seasons. 

the only change will be the people flipping sides.  people who hated frank pointed out and reveled in every loss and the people who liked frank glorified in the wins.  people who hated frank will laud every oscar win and minimize the same kind of losses they ridiculed frank for while people who liked frank will ignore good wins for oscar and dwell on his loses.  it will be a complete reversal of actors playing the opposite roles. 

throw in a dash of posters who like trolling and will be contrarian to whatever the majority is posting and viola you have goEMAW basketball board 2012/2013

Don't forget about the ones discussing that nut who rode a bike onto midcourt wearing a #fatty4ksu shirt and a grocery sack over his head and wielding wire-cutters.  After about 6 games of that, give it a rest already.

We obviously weren't going with a guy whose assistants still have sanctions or a goddamn tv analyst (though I think that would have been an interesting experiment).

Obvious because those weren't good options or obvious because the administration we're saddled with would never make a perceived risky move?

The second one.

I absolutely cannot wait for those threads.

OK, so understand that people are going to be pissed and will be aware of, point out and mock Weber's inadequacies as a result of their anger at cowboy currie and his decision to get rid of Frank, not replace him with somebody who could keep the excitement going and probably the long-term winning, and pulling the chicken nuggets man out of the unemployment line and/or college of charleston and forcing him down our throats.

[CNS]

Didn't someone promise to drop all insidery deets about the frank v Currie thing by now?

Donde esta?

maybe he is autistic, but not the genius kind.

Aspergers.  You nailed it.  Our coach has Aspergers.

Hating Weber hate is the exact same thing as hating weber. But worse.

I don't hate the player, I hate his game.  I think Weber is probably a delightful man.  I just hate how he doesn't recruit for crap.

I know, I hate him too. I was just saying to the people that hate the weber hate that their hating the weber hate is the same as hating weber only worse.

I met oscar at the airport Wednesday on my way to Vegas ( btw) and greeted him. This is how I remember the conversation going:

Me: Oh hey Coach! Welcome to Kansas City!
oscar: Oh....hey
Me: I've followed you since your Illinois days, my brother went to school there..
oscar: Ohhhhhh..... ok (he was trembling at this point)
Me: Hey just wanted to wish you good luck on your trip, go get us some wins this!
oscar: Oh well, there are a lot of teams in Brazil...

It was absolutely the most awkward conversation I've had, and his thoughts are probably exactly the same as we post here on goEMAW. BTW, I did not see any of the Adorable Cats 

pretty sad that you can't carry on a conversation.  not sure but maybe toastmasters might help? 

[LickNeckey]

Pretty sad you didn't punch him in his stupid face

currie wouldn't have hired huggy.

also. i don't hate weber the man. i hate the situations that conspired to make him our basketball coach. haven't been able to get over it yet.

I can carry a conversation, not my fault Weber lacks any confidence to talk to someone not his family. In that conversation, there was no point I thought that he believed that we would win anything.
