WGAF?  oscar was handed a lambo.  Frank was paid to get an old Cavalier running and able to go to the store and back.

Igaf  because the answer will determine which of these two crap coaches will win more games this year, its the most excitement  a cat bball fan will have.

is the metric as simple as  games won?

This is true.

[Tobias]

I'm #bid but I'm not sure that's accurate

Maybe not a lambo, but Def a really nice BMW.

Yup

[mocat]

I can't tell if this is one of those times where we are taking wacky too seriously or not. I would guess that he is jk and he actually agrees with us about frank

Maybe a BMW that couldn't roll down its rear passenger window and had its check engine light on.

[CNS]

I don't buy that.  1.no EMAW would be associated with a crap ride like that, 2.oscar mows his own lawn so there is no way he doesn't pay attention  to gauges.

Let wetwillie have his moment.

No Upshaw home games while Gooch is in town next month.  We could've worn Frank shirts and waved a pak head. 

Hec Ed is a dump for the record, but it's our dump and I love seeing games there. We should go see the UW/UA game - or as I call it - the battle for pvegs' alumni donations.

I'm in.  FWIW, I have my own and an extra Frank shirt, along w/a pak head.  Kemp's kid (insert lifted joke here) is dunking for them too, right?

Awesome, I'll coordinate this. And yup, Kemp Jr plays and is finally a legit contributor.

I don't think anyone is taking him seriously at all, I don't see many replies to his batshit crazy posts ITT.

I'm still stunned at cRusty's Robert Upshaw nail and hanging Frank's recruiting coat on it.

How many schools backed off because they knew they'd never get him in?

none

Frank was handed a Lambo at K-State and lost 12 games and got beat by Ginger land in the 2nd round.

Yeah, a lambo that hadn't been to the NCAA tournament in a decade

When you sit down in the coaches chair for the first time and your predecessor left Mike Beasley and Bill Walker you've got it pretty good.

Cool.  I'd go to a non-'zona game too anytime it works.  Gonna invite JMart too to make it an OGPNWPAK.

No doubt. That was a fun season but we absolutely underachieved.

Plus Team Ginger was pretty damn experienced, good, and coached by a great.

[Clevey 2 Times]

Hating on oscar for what this team is doing now is warranted and deserved, but discounting a league title for your own school because you don't like the coach seems really dumb.

That might be the saddest thing about all of this.  The best two years in 'modern' KSU BBall are downplayed from either side.  The ones who dislike Frank crap on the elite 8 run, and those who bemoan the hiring of oscar run down the league title.

Yeah, its strange. I guess I'm one of the few that count the Elite 8 and the Big 12 title as the best 2 K-State basketball seasons I've experienced. To me K-State basketball has always been bigger than the coach whether I like him or not. I really liked Frank a lot and the brand he meant for K-State while he was here and it was a lot of fun, but he's never coming back. Granted, I'll pay more attention to what he does than some other SEC basketball coach, but I'm not going to care that much either way about his successes or failures.

I don't think we should downplay either of those two years, we should just understand them for what they are. The E8 run was the best year of Kansas State basketball since 1988 even though we may have not won the conf. title. Weber's conf. title year was awesome, but it was Frank's talent, which is why it is tough to swallow as we now experience the decline of the Weber controlled program.

We all know Frank is not coming back, but that is not the point. The point is that our AD mumped this up.

Frank's ceiling at KSU was higher than oscar's is. I just don't see how that can be argued any other way, at least if you have a decent understanding of what is necessary to win in Manhattan. Some of you are just damn fools and I've accepted that - obviously, _fan and chingon not included in this category.

I really don't disagree with much of that. I think Frank deserves at least a portion of the blame for not being able to work with Currie though.

You're probably right about this, I am working with imperfect information, and Currie had no reason but to play his cards close to his vest.

Wait are some people saying Angel didn't want to play for Frank and would have left if he stayed? I thought he left because Frank wasn't there anymore

Nobody is saying that about Angel. Closer than my peeps he was to Frank.
