Clearly if you want spin this negatively you can, but the probable facts are that this team is 5 points from being in the NCAA tournament. I think we can score five more points next year with the core we have coming back.

I bet oscar accidentally scores the 5 more points in the same game so that we win by six instead of one and we still miss the tournament.

Can you guys please list all of the excuses BWeber has used as ksu coach. So far I have these:
Schedule-Makers
Hard Conference
Refs
Youth
Travel (fatigue)
Low attendance
SEC Challenge
-losing bye
-no publicity
Close games (bad bounces)
No playmakers
Injuries
Luck

This selective fact is so Wooly, I can't get over it.

Was this the quote, pages ago, Soren had where he followed with 30 seconds of silence and than asked when fans will do something?

This is insightful given the circumstances at the time. It is even more relevant now with another four years of hindsight. It's interesting to consider the personalities of each coach and the cultures that they had a large part in building. The culture now is one of mediocrity, good enough, unconditional support, etc. and making excuses even for that. I was picking my daughter up from some track meet/practice when the announcement that oscar was hired came over the radio. I yelled, "NOOOO!" My daughter asked me what was wrong. She thought I was overreacting. I do believe he deserved a chance. He's gotten more than that.

one other thing that people haven't paid enough attention to. every team that swept kstate will be going to the tournament - more than likely with a favored seed. i wonder how many teams can make that boast?

Yep

Inspired to find this quote: 13:50 to 14:57....awkward pause for 20 seconds until Soren starts again.

Caught a quick interview of oscar on fox4 news, he was on his talking point about his schedule and finished it with "Its the top RPI of all time, I think"

that's great. I'm with sys (and trim). I love his weird and awkward interviews.

I only enjoy them now for #acting purposes and because of how badly they (should) make Currie and Schulz look over and over again.

It's my favorite non-speaking role.

In the course of finding that tweet, I found this illini thread. They're big fans.

The Quest for Mediocrity +5

It strikes me that ExBruces are more contagious than Influenza. I've been reading rationalizations like this one for ten years now.

KState is an historic basketball program. My first girlfriend's dad played on a KState Final Four team. I know most of you EMAWs are the opposite of Klingon, re: rationalizing Loserdom. S/he seems to have completely abandoned the goal, which is to compete for championships, right? Hoping for bubble status is the epitome of Broothism.

i don't think chingon is a weber fan, per se. he just wants things to be fair.

Interesting to look back.

oscar has received a fair chance and it becomes more than fair with next year.

Not all championships come with a trophy. This young team won the league title in toughness.
