You guys are famous for your insecurity.  I'm glad someone finally had the guts to say it.

Yeah, I'm glad Mr. Bread can really see it and say it. Its probably the most annoying aspect of the K-State fan base. I'm sure I'm guilty myself from time to time.

He didn't take him out for chicken nuggets after the interview. Get it?

Come on, from my anecdotal perspective having not lived in the midwest for nearly 2 decades now.   I am surrounded by fans (some of which are actual alumni) of two of the bluest blood basketball schools in existence.   They literally melt down at the first wisp of an attempt or perceived attempt by anyone to slight their favorite school . . . be it message board, media, whatever.    Dude, this message board caused a complete meltdown with actual local news coverage over a perceived slight of a school and their football program.   This message board caused members of another fan base to try and have us censored by the KSU administration.

So, spare me this "K-State fans are thin skinned" B.S.  Hell, over on phog their head explodes if Kevin Keitzman . . . Kevin Effing Keitzman isn't kissing their ass 24/7.  Hell, at one time they actually tried to start a boycott campaign of his sponsors. 

It's an inherent reality within all fan bases that actually care.

Curtis and I talked about that a while back.  There was something there, but I won't get into details as it was a personal conversation.  But it did change the way I looked at Frank, so it has changed my tone towards him on this board and other forums.

Curtis is a friend of mine, so these threads are very awkward for me.  One one hand, I want to defend him, but on the other hand, he knows this comes with the territory and he can speak for himself.  He doesn't need me to do that for him.

He and I have had conversations about what was in that article on several occasions.  I agree with him in a lot of ways and disagree in others.  He's a level headed guy who understands the game and played at the small college level.  I think a lot of the characterizations of him on this board are incorrect, but again, I know him personally, so my perspective is not that of a fan who just reads and critiques his work.  I'm just reading a bunch of posts where someone calls my friend stupid, so it's kind of upsetting to me, but again, I know it comes with the territory.

Your friend isn't very good at his job. Is that better than calling him stupid?

FWIW, I have no problem with Curtis and I usually read his columns. I think he usually writes pretty decent pieces and presents a slightly different perspective from normal beat writers, which I like. My problem with this piece is it seems clear he let whatever his issue with Frank come through way too much and IMHO it hurt the main points he was attempting to make. The "nagging wife" angle just didn't work and took away from the writing, almost like he was trying too hard.

Did he attend and graduate from KSU?  Asked him this question and did not get a response.

I wonder if he just decided to go full Glenn Beck and feed the tuck masses. Ratings wise, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Because otherwise he's really bad at his job or his personal issues with Frank impair him from being objective (which I guess is also being bad at his job).

Pan, ask him if he was serious or just pandering to the majority.

Also, I wonder what Frank's side of that story would be. Because we can already see that Curtis can't separate emotion from fact. Doesn't sound like a super reliable source.
