Tim Fitzgerald just called us out on "The Drive" + Bonus Content + Underwood

Tim Fitzgerald on the Drive. January 18, 2015 last 30 seconds of the show.


"In a strange turn there's been a segment of fans at Kansas State who have never really given oscar Weber a chance and every time things turn south they jump on it immediately. It is part of social media, a fringe element can all find each other and suddenly they have a club of people that believe in the same thing no matter how silly it can be, they listen to each other, they repeat the same thing over and over and convince a few other people and pretty soon we are all convinced that there is a big segment of fans who believe this stupid idea that oscar Weber should be fired after going to the NCAA tournament in 2 straight seasons."

Naa.  A bunch of empty seats before the OU win are indicative of a very strong, committed set of fans that support oscar Weber.

What the hell is "the drive" and why did you listen?

[AndrewVonLintel]

Well it is more than just I. There are at least 6 of us.

Can't really disagree with him there.

[Pete]

Did he talk at all about how dorky oscar is?  I feel like that deserves more air time.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

Pretty much every time Fitz has a microphone in his face he is attempting to call out goEMAW.

He is incredibly insecure.

"some fans" "fans on social media" "certain message board posters" all code for "goEMAW." Would make for an interesting drinking game.

[Dugout DickStone]

I guess oscar's record of success can't speak for itself.

[chum1]

WE ARE ALL CONVINCED!

We got our hands slapped by SB Nation for slamming them, too.

Just a legion of haters, I guess.

"them" meaning oscar and his staff?

zero NCAA tourney wins isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

Does Tim not realize that this effect does not need social media? Like, a collection of tucks in the chairbacks can't do the same thing around whatever their opinions happen to be at that moment?

[sonofdaxjones]

Everyone on the 'Bash is 100% behind oscar Weber?  If so, they really have run everyone but the Jack Boot Kool-Aid drinkers off.

Did I see a critical tweet of oscar Weber by D. Scott "it's always the players fault" Fritchen on Saturday?

[slobber]

The truly amazing thing to me is that Fitz is the only person making (decent?) money off of Cat fans. Why does he spend so much time talking about his competition?


Gonna win 'em all!

Would like to see the breakdown on the team's record before and after "This Team Stinks"

What's the better approach to that slob T. Fitz? A) Completely ignore him as if he doesn't exist? B) Throw gasoline on fire, poke and prod, similar to our treatment of Beems?

It's weird when old people blame social media for stuff they don't like. They act like only people with their particular view of the world were able to form groups before Twitter. That would make them complicit in some pretty awful crap.

us.

I guess oscar's record of success can't squeak for itself.

[A$APCornBall]

Good lord OP. What a worthless existence you must live if you actually watch The Drive.

[j rake]

this four-game stretch shouldn't do anything to improve your opinion of oscar. k-state went 4-0, but should have gone 2-2, and they played three games at home, were favored in all three, and two (possibly three) wins came against the three worst teams in the league.

why wasn't fitz calling the oscar criticisms 'silly' prior to this recent streak?
