If you can't stand the heat...

[slobber]

I just don't think his stuff is very well written. not even to the level of pseudo-intellectual. maybe two or three pseudos. maybe four.

Whatever idiot, that's your opinion and I wouldn't be surprised if you're a Jew or even a dark skinned ethnic minority. Kitchen rules!

Whoa, listen, I'm just making a point regarding his writing. I don't think racism is something you should bring into this.

I hate you and I think a woman's place is in the kitchen! Curtis Kitchen on the other hand is a stud!

Well, that's fine. I don't agree though. Look how much more reasonable I am than you.

DUR DUR DUR DUR FARTNOISE DUR!

I'm ending this conversation because I am the better and more intelligent person.

It's probably just becasue sd wrote this, but I really thought this was a great post.

Good job, sd!

the guy had surgery as a child which rendered his voice intolerable

If this is true, I'll feel guilty for letting his voice bother me so much (but it still does & still will, unless he starts beating KU regularly).

how are people only now learning about this?  i read a lot about oscar when we hired him and it was mentioned in several articles.  anyway, there is very little difference between making fun of a person for something he was born with and making fun of a person for something he has because of surgery to fix something he was born with.    

[Dugout DickStone]

one thing that's funny is oscar's approach and results in the tournament are the absolute least of my concerns with him.

The absolute least?  I'd put his voice as below his moronic tourney strategy

and chicken nuggets. So third least concern.

[Panjandrum]

i haven't posted much in the last month, so when i do i'm doubling down on snark. no offense. the "article" was pretty bad though as numerous people have already pointed out.

also, by all means take your time on oscar. i mean everybody here loves _fan and i'm pretty sure that if you asked him today, he'd still want woolridge coaching the team if at all possible. this is a pretty forgiving bunch.

I wouldn't have taken that tone, and I'll probably say as much.  Especially after last Friday.  IMO, oscar gained some capital with folks sitting on the fence during the conference season, but he lost a lot during the La Salle game, especially with me.  I thought he treated the NCAA tournament like it was some reward or bowl game.  And I hated his attitude during the post-game press conference.  So, I think it's understandable that people want to open fire.  I'm just hoping for the best and trying to talk myself into some sort of positive outlook.

His, "Let's make it one game farther than we did last year in the tourney" motivational tactic was the most uninspiring, cowardly, idiotic thing I've heard him say so far. Really left a sour taste in my mouth when the result was an early exit at the hands of LaSalle. That will keep my oscar hate fueled until he wins another conference championship, tourney game, or lands a good recruit.

I was really taken aback (in a negative way) by that.

By his approach to the tourney, or by my critique of his previously stated approach?

Not you; oscar.  I agree with you.

Sorry dude, just finding out. Never said I made fun of him, just that his voice bothers me. I'll be more tolerant. I promise!

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

No, he did not.  But he is/was a KSU fan.

why are you protecting frank? Grow some balls and tell us what happened.

I'm not protecting Frank.  It was a private conversation, and I'm not going to share the details.  _FAN implied that there is a history there.  I can confirm that.

It wasn't a long drawn out ordeal.  Frank was apparently really cool until a misunderstanding occurred, and he cut Curtis off.  That's ultimately the gist of it.

i'm almost positive i heard about this; i can't recall from whom.  it was something stupid like martin told kitchen something that he thought was off the record and kitchen blogged it (presumably because he thought it was on record).  and then martin like refused to acknowledge kitchen's existence from then on.

i can't recall what the blogged info was, but it was something really boring.

also, the other downside is you can look really stupid

When you put something out there, you will inevitably find someone who disagrees with you and thinks you're stupid.

i think he's stupid because he's such a bad writer.  maybe if i talked to him, i'd find out that he's a good talker and i'd think he was a little smarter.

[slimz]

Dave Skretta's (? -- AP guy) feed on twitter with oscar's postgame quotes was really incredible. I mean, it just laid bare oscar's loser-y mentality. And all the Brucites missed it (or ignored it) because they're so much more obsessed with the anti-oscar portion of goEMAW than caring about the long-term fate of the Cats.

I'm sure in the back of Pan's mind he has to know that his buddy is a poor writer. Pan also writes for a blog and isn't a poor writer. If Kitchen wasn't his friend he would clown Curtis too. Pan why does your friend resort to trolling at times?

i've never heard of anyone being taken aback in a positive way.

We haven't had that conversation, but he tries a lot of different approaches.  I think blogging gives you the liberty to try varying styles.

That doesn't answer your question, but it's the best that I can come up with.

[felix rex]

Like michcat, I don't think he's stupid because I disagree. I think he's stupid because he can't form a coherent, consistent argument in his poorly written rant about the other side being illogical.

Not to mention the Frank thing. If you're gonna use your "access" to write what you think about fans, then be honest and explain what's motivating you.

But yeah, good for him rallying the GPC crowd behind him. They're not stupid, so I guess he's not either.

The season happened bc the big 12 was effing garbage outside of ku who beat us with ease three times.   oscar doesn't deserveshit

The eff does it matter whether his voice was awful from birth or from surgery?

One is okay to mock and the other isn't.

No, he did his best Sean Hannity impression.  And it worked for his “base”.

This is a great analogy. Tell him that, Pan. As a friend who cares about his reputation, ask him if it was intentionally this.

Might be luking, but anyone have problems with the sexist title?
A short step away from "Don't be an uppity niggar," which I'm sure would have been warmly embraced by the GPC crowd.

Since you have no choice in the matter, you SHOULD be team oscar now!    If Currie would have brought in Slats Grobnik, I would be team Slats until which time Slats proves that he's a loser.

The question has been asked and needs to be repeated:  Which coach in this fair land, having a better resume' than Coach Weber, do you think we could've gotten in here last April?   Herein lies your problem and the problem of all those who won't get on board.
oscar Pearl?   Doug Gottleib?  You're talking about a program that threw the dice with a no name High School coach that was taken in by Huggins because of his Florida recruiting ties.

The truth of the matter is:  KSU can do no better than to acquire a good X and O's coach who knows how to coach up 3 star recruits, runs a clean program, and can land an occasional 4.  You need look no further than LHC Bill Snyder.  Now, let go of Frank and get on board.

I really love how we are the bad guys for demanding that K-State do better and aren't just happy to be here.
