Only team to have to watch tape at 11 at night in a tournament setting, then try to do walkthrough in a hotel. No clue what kind of pass these other teams get, but it's not fair.
Looks like oscar is taking a page out of LHC Bill Snyder's playbook. I want this framed and in my man cave.

SE: Weber's '16 Excuses' Vital To K-States Almost SuccessMarch 4, 2016This story appeared in Friday's K-State Sports Extra. A daily email newsletter for information on receiving Sports Extra click here.By Mark JanssenTo the eye, they read so simple … almost generic. To the ear, they sound so simple … almost generic.But Kansas State basketball coach oscar Weber insists that when the Wildcats have struggled through their most defeats, it has come in years when he was the most dialed into the “16 Excuses for Failure.”Like in 2015 and again in 2016.Simplistic ideas like: It was the referees fault, the schedule makers did us no favors, and unlucky bounces of the ball. Generic phrases like: If our conference wasn’t so hard we would have been way better, and the SEC Challenge caused us to lose a bye.Lumped together, and bought into, Weber summarizes, “If our fans believe in each of these excuses, I, as a coach, will always be able to rationalize my failures.”Weber is the first to admit that the ’16 Excuses for Failure’ are no more than words on a piece of paper … unless they are put to work. Easily, he says, “They are words that pretty soon can go in one ear and out the other unless totally stressed every single day.”For that reason, not only do Wildcat basketball fans hear Weber verbalizing the ’16 Excuses’ but they are constantly appearing in newspaper and magazine articles after every K-State loss. They are stated in post-game press conferences and interviews on local radio and television.“I want them to be in front of the fans at all times,” said Weber. “If they aren’t constantly reminded of them, they might start to believe failure is due to something other than bad luck and poor scheduling.”But in reality, Weber says, “The question is whether the fans believe them and use them in their life. I don’t make that happen, but they do. It’s up to them whether to place an importance on these particular rationalizations. If they don’t post these same excuses on message boards and twitter, and if they don’t attack any fan who attempts to hold me accountable for the actions of these young, lazy, mistake prone basketball players, then they’re just words on a piece of paper. The important thing is not the words, but whether or not I have a job.”The ’16 Excuses for Failure’ have never been talked about more than with last year’s K-State team that was picked to finish fourth in the Big 12, but ended up winning only 15 games, at one point losing 8 out of 10 in conference play, and missed out on being invited to any post season tournaments.“Did I place a greater emphasis on them than past teams? I can’t answer that,” said Weber, “but I did put a great deal of emphasis on them.”In explaining the reason for their importance, the Wildcat coach says, “If each fan believes each of these excuses, I, as a coach, will always be able to claim that I would have been successful if not for all of those other things.”
Kind of long but worth the read if you have time. Looks like Mark Janssen came out of retirement to write one more puff piece.QuoteSE: Weber's '16 Excuses' Vital To K-States Almost SuccessMarch 4, 2016This story appeared in Friday's K-State Sports Extra.

Sorry _33, Looks like your rules aren't going over well on the BOTC fbook page.
Jill Lively Horrible. Don't know who @33KSU is, but I would bet they've never been involved in what it takes to coach a division 1 team! Shame on you @33KSU!
