What would get you to watch another MBB game this season?
« on: December 29, 2014, 11:13:13 AM »
Is there anything oscar could do to get your eyes back on this team this year?

Here's what would grab my interest:

1. Bench Jevon. This isn't about fouling the 3-point shooter or throwing the inbounds pass away. This is about a point guard who makes terrible passes and can't shoot.

2. Increasing Foster's shot attempts to a Kobe-like rate.

But really, those changes would only hold my interest for a game or two. To watch the full conference slate, I'd need to see:

3. Installing that crazy Grinnell D3 offense where you cherry-pick and shoot a million 3s per game, or basically any offense where we shoot 3s non-stop. Like, Hurt and Foster run a pick and pop on every possession. I realize we aren't full of sharpshooters, but if you're going to lose almost all of your conference games anyway, we may as well start chucking 3 balls.

4. Focus on setting a K-State record during each game. Feed Foster the ball to see if he can break Askia Jones' 62-point game record, or his 14 3-pointers record. See if any of our idiots can break the 16 assist record held by Keith Frazier from 1976 - just pick one guy as the designated assist man, and instruct all players to shoot immediately after he passes. You see where I'm going with this. Ignore winning the game and go for the records. I do this in video games sometimes - it's fun!

Are you kidding me? How could you possibly pass up watching this crap show? I won't be able to take my eyes off of this train wreck all season.

I doubt ppl stop watching.  The question is what would it take to get me to re up my tickets. 

The answer: a new head coach.

We've been making the NCAA's.

I guess what I am trying to say is, eff that.  It's time to win a tourney game or two.  Especially if we have to deal with such a crap show in non-con.

I stopped watching/listening after the Pitt game. I've missed more Cats games this year than all the year's combined since I was five years old.

I'd just like them to play hard. I haven't watched really any games since Maui though - I'm just assuming they haven't been playing hard.

yeah, the effort is really not good.  As mistake prone and badly shooting as JT is he looks like a JYC compared to the way Edwards and even Wes ( :frown:) are floating around out there.  I don't know what happened to Nigel but he appears to have almost no confidence and has trouble just handling the ball cleanly at times and he really isn't a better option than JT at this point.

This. Despite yesterday's catastrophe I'm still bummed about missing Wednesday's game (traveling to SA for bowl).

I am nowhere near MHK sadly, but the team sucking is a huge draw. . .it would be like going to the WBB games when I went to school. You felt like you could high five the entire student section with ease. . .and you didn't have to show up more than thirty minutes before gametime.

It also allows for audible heckling since the gym will be pretty quiet.

The game being on a cable channel that I get.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Wednesday's game could have a booming chat with gE'rs wanting to see what this team will pull off next, while nobody actually is at the fOOD.

EDIT: nope, looks like _FAN will be there!
