yes, he is.  i want him to fail quickly and spectacularly.  because i fear him failing slowly and in a way almost imperceptible to john q. katfan.

I hope he succeeds beyond all expectations. But suspect we'll see a replay of his Illinois tenure without quite as spectacular early results.
john q. catfan is perceptive enough to notice lack of NCAA tournaments, bottom half of Big 12 finishes and lots of home losses.

If oscar fails, it will most likely be the end of our resurgence into relevance. It will most likely be a slow failure.  Ppl will hold hope and see silver linings for a few years, then ppl will be disappointed for a season or two.  Then, next thing you know, it we will be entering the 2017 season and our team will be predicted to finish in the bottom third of the conference for the second season in a row and no one will care enough to be angry. 


Either he fails and we lose BB for what will most likely be a long time, or he succeeds enough so that, in 5-7 yrs, we have enough respect nationally for a new decent coach to take us forward.

oscar failing is the end of this board.

Personally, I would like for oscar to win us a national championship this season, and then move on to greener pastures next year so we can go get a good coach. I'm skeptical that oscar has it in him, though. We are probably looking at a slow, painful, downward spiral for Cat hoops.

referencing the BB board, not goEMAW in general.  My meaning wasn't literal.  The quantity of those participating will be much less if we experience extended failure.

CNS is 100% right on this

There was almost no cat hoops BBSing prior to ksufans.  Even then, it was either next coach talk or threads about the NIT bubble that turned in next coach talk.

Well, the last few years. GRCOAT would be like, impossible to top.

GRCOAT was really a tough time for me.  I remember having some post about rather having Martin Xeno than Michael Beasley, and everyone just ignoring it because they were having such an awesome time.

I was still getting over the disappointment of Marques Hayden and was trying to warn people about Beasley.  Really funny looking back.  I was such a product of bad basketball I had no idea how to respond to the new era.

It was an excellent time to BBS. Ahearn board on GPC and kstatefans had some good times.

It was a great time because there were so many Wabashers who were so entranced by the football success they couldn't see the forest through the trees when it came to Wooldridge . . . and I admit I supported Wooldridge at first, just like I have every other K-State coach until they proved they couldn't do the job.   It took me about 1.5 years to completely turn on Wooldridge, maybe a little longer.  But that sounds about right.

Yes, if oscar wins us a national championship, I also hope we can parlay that momentum into getting us a good coach.  Wait, what...

great fun, loved posting and checking back every 2-3 days to see if anyone had responded.
