Once again: What is the minimum expectations of K-State Basketball?

[8manpick]

And don't lose to KU twenty straight years on your home court.  That shouldn't happen.

This.

Dax doesn't want to mention KU, but our goals are driven by their success. 

Beating KU 1/3rd of the time is acceptable.  Nothing else matters.

Tuck your rough ridin' shirt in a little harder, why don't you?  Unless that post was sarcastic, you are the worst kind of K-State basketball fan.

You will have to explain this position further if you want a response.

Sorry, tying our expectations solely to our success or failure against KU is dumb.  Losing 20 straight at home, or anything of the sort is unacceptable, but saying that success against KU is all that matters is asinine.

Thing is, we've got a helluva steady measuring stick right up the road.  Asking to beat KU 1/3 of the time is actually a shorthand way of saying you're a pretty damn good program.  It's not like Iowa State wanting to to beat Iowa or something.  (Although saying "nothing else matters" is a bit much.)

Or at least that's the way I see it.   

P.S.  Nice fishin' Dax.

It was nice fishin' by Dax, except that his "outlandish" expectations are not that far removed from what we just did.  I hate that a lot of our fanbase thinks that kind of success isn't sustainable here, and shouldn't be expected.

As far as beating KU, if we went 22-10 every year with an 11-7 Big 12 record, made the NCAAs and lost twice to KU most years, I'd be good with that.

He's trying to say Frank barely achieved the minimum so we really didn't lose anything. pure fishing.

Fishin?  Outlandish?

Not really . . . we should expect exactly what Frank did every year, and much more in most.

Really no excuse for K-State not to be Top 4 or 5 EVERY year in the Big 12, top 3 most years.

Hmm... didn't think you believed your original post, but yes.  Agreed.

Frank Martin's last 2 recruiting classes at K-State:

Juevol Myles-FRANKED

Oh man, first Franked player returns to the OOD (Dec 31st)...

USD Men's Basketball ?@CoyotesMBB
Back in the United States after a 109-75 win over the University of Manitoba today. Six guys in double figures led by Juevol Myles with 30.

Of course, without Frank here, it loses a bit of its luster.

Please tell me Nick Russell's new team isn't going to come and humiliate us, as well.

Passive-aggressive Chings is good message boarding.
