The Marcus quotes have been weird.

Wade eerily reminds me of the young Larry Bird.  Wade biggest asset is his brain and savvy.  His coach now is likely a more knowledgeable coach than Weber.

LOL at nino.

Complaining about Weber having to babysit other players after missing his last senior road trip because of "personal reasons".

Do you not buy that someone he was close to died? I'm kind of surprised that you mentioned that.

That's possible, but I would've thought that he or K-State would have just said that. Every time I've ever seen a player have an emergency or family death, that has been stated. I've never seen someone just miss because of "personal reasons".

This is what he said:
"Yes, just personal reasons. Just a lot of things going on. It sucks to miss a game, and at Texas, because it was my last game there, but it's business, and I really don't want to talk about that part, but it's personal, and I did what I needed to do. It's over. I'm moving on."

I'm probably being too tough here because I have no idea what went on. :dunno:

Yeah, no way in hell was that a funeral. LOL at Nino and his leadership.

it was an injury, not a funeral.  don't know the specifics of the injury.  maybe he had a treatment or something that day and couldn't make the trip, but it was def injury related.

Why doesn't anyone just say that. I mean, his quote makes no sense. He's done playing, he's venting about everything else, why not just say "yeah, it sucked to miss Texas, but I had treatment and couldn't travel."

My frustration with it is based on HIS answer to why he missed. I wouldn't have made any speculation had I not read that honestly.

Unless it was an non-playable injury (in which case I agree with _FAN, why not just say "I was hurt") and he missed a game for a treatment the entire athletic training staff and team doctor should be fired/not retained. No way should a player miss a game for treatment if the injury is playable.

I grew up east of Club Orleans, I would like to hear the opinion of Western Kansas people (west of Club Orleans) on this.

Is that the official Mason-Dixon line of Kansas? Makes sense, just have never heard that before.
If you're standing on the line, then be prepared to be Mason-Dixoned, cause there is a lot of that going on at Club Orleans.  :excited:

As a native of Hutchinson I take offense. I think the Mason-Dixon line of Kansas is for anything West of Fun Valley. ( http://tinyurl.com/funvalley )

I grew up next to Fun Valley....in Bonner Springs, KS.  If your argument was for my Fun Valley, I would be in full agreement.  However, your Fake Fun Valley idea is laughable.

Real estate agent? I don't think an agent for basketball is in Nino's future.

i would rename the thread.  it's crazy to doubt whether wade can teach the kansas work ethic.  the question is whether the rest of the team will be capable of learning it.

Yes, perhaps poorly phrased on my part.

You know I bet a good weekend with them all working on El Rancho Esteban David would bring them together. 

O imagine the sparkle in one's eye as Jevon tries to lasso a doggie, trips and accidentally ropes a cactus that first night.  Stories around the campfire as a thunderstorm brews way off to the west, lighting up the inky night sky! The next day when Nigel has to put down a lame horse with a nothing but a fence post wrapped in barbed-wire and they all cry in each others arms as the blood runs into the dusty ground. What's that?  Its Ma Dave ringing the alarm for supper!  Good simple, humble food.  Food from the earth and fresh horse meat to one obtained with one's own strength and will.  What tastes better than accomplishment after a hards days work in the sun?  The small troubles of a ball bouncing of your arm into the face of the opposing coach look awful small when placed against the backdrop of the titanic Western Kansas sky.  By the time the last night rolls around, words will be fewer, but more meaningful.  A well placed glance will tell more tales than a library of books. They will have learned to not only wrangle cattle, but how to wrangle men.
