I felt confident when Gene explained that it took him a couple of years to understand the GOR.

That's inspiring for us all.
I’m sure you were super gullible with his response. No shame.
He made it abundantly clear a couple of years ago he didn’t understand the GOR and didn’t sound like a guy very fired up to figure out the very words which at the time bound the conference together and would be a huge deal in relatively short order.

When 40% of your revenue comes from one thing it’s wise to be super zealed up to understand every nuance ASAP.   

Crazy
Link?

 :lol: :lol:

Okay WackyTuck, he didn't say it, I don't follow everything Gene does and says and I'm just gulliable.

Note to self, never get into a discussion with the WackyTuck unless it's nothing but glowing adulation for K-State.   Shame on me for the 10,000 time.

None of this matters to you anyways, bud. You're in the heart of Alabama! The center of obesity poors and college football. Enjoy, bud, you've made it!  :love:

Glad to see ol' Gene pull up his skirt and talk tough regardless of it having any merit.

Let's just take ESPN to court and light this baby on fire. I'd like to see a nice slow burn for the next 4 years. That's plenty of time to figure out a deal with Amazon Prime or Netflix in 2026.

It's in the Ask the AD segment. Gene legit admitted he had no idea for years, it wasn't sarcasm either.

Oh hey, Wacks is  :curse: is angry and lashing out as always as he logs in hangs with us the great unwashed. 

Gene just added that little GOR disclaimer so all of us dummies will think he's serious, but the WackyTuck knows better.   :thumbsup:

It's true.  It's at the 2:22 minute mark of the video below.

Both of you please stop, or take it to DM's.  Let's get back on topic.

Personally, I have very little confidence that our A.D. has the skill and experience to be a valuable leader through this process.  However, the good news is that I suspect (believe?) that the forces at work are so far beyond the power of what KSU as whole can control or even influence, that the A.D.'s lack of skill and experience likely won't matter much. go cats

The more I think about it, the more I believe that we should immediately fire Gene and promote his second-in-command, as a cost cutting measure.  We are going to need to do LOTS of that in the future, and Gene is MASSIVELY OVERPAID for what he actually can do for us.

Dude is laughing about what a joke it is when questioned. Had to dive into it to learn more about it (aka his job). Sounds like a guy doing his job. I'm sure people who want to hate Gene can take this into  :curse: though.

That's not at all accurate.  He literally said he pretended to know what it is, and then goes on to explain how critically important it is ensuring we get a substantial amount of money.

He really can't do jack crap for us anyway, so whatever.  Everyone believe what you want.  The guy who never led a D1 AD before and spent almost his entire career in D2 is going to shepherd us through the most complicated D1 organizational effort in the history of the NCAA.

I'm pretty confident in everything I have asserted.  I am gripped.

Don't even bother Pete.   Gene said several years ago either in an ask the AD segment or in an interview that he really didn't understand GOR.

But you can't tell that to WackyTuck.

The worst P5 football program in the country for over a decade devalued the B12 brand like a cart full of Great Value brand items being wheeled through the dining room at Michelin rated restaurant at 7:30 pm on a Friday.

This is a analogy is incredible.

At this point there's a 0% chance that what happens to K-State will be influenced by anyone employed by K-State.  Nobody with an ounce of power gives a crap what Gene has to say.  They're along for the ride like all of us.  It's a pretty sweet gig at 925k+ per year.

Yes.  There are only three things Gene could or should say after any conference call or event during realignment. 

1 - Wow!

2 - Bummer

3 - Cool

That's it.  That's the sum of what he can contribute.

That would be enough to earn a Certificate.
