7 games to win it all. I thought we were just talking about the road to the final 4, though.
Why settle for the Final 4 when the Natty is available? (Huggins, 2006 - paraphrased)  :ksu:

Shocking that the NCAA mumped us here (ROLLS EYES). We have to play AN EXTRA GAME and then our path is like murderers row.

Not only that, but we have travel like 30,000 nautical miles to play these games. Somebody buy the committee a globe for Christ's sake. Dayton, Sacramento, Nashville,
You forgot Phoenix.

I agree, but honestly, I'd have to see who the other three teams are to be able to wrap my head around how we go about winning those last 2 games.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how we win a "must win" game, FINALLY. I don't think Wake Forest will be much different than Tech, Oklahoma State or any other team we split with or played close all year. Here's hoping the guys finally learned how to close one out FTW.  :bwpopcorn:  :ksu:

Why are the play in games in Dayton every year?

1. Central location
2. Inexpensive
3. Very good crowds
4. The city of Dayton loves it

Ok that makes a lot of sense. The other games all move around so I thought it weird that it stays in Dayton

It went up for bid a year or two ago and Sioux Falls had the only other bid that was considered.

seems like something kansas city would go after.  not quite the real thing, we're kind of a play-in city

Frankly, the Kansas State fan base (the 40% who still wanting our guys to lose even when they say they don't), make me sick to my stomach. It almost makes me want to head off and back another team.

These people are butt hurt because of Frank Martin and took it out on oscar Weber. They wanted to see him fail from the beginning.
and they've put added pressure on our players ever since he's been here.

They hate his "squeaky" voice when every human being, worth being called such, ought to admire oscar Weber for having the fortitude for pursuing a career where you have to constantly speak in front of TV cameras with a voice hampered by vocal chord nodules and surgery. In the rest of America, people who overcome handicaps and become successful, are looked upon as heroes and inspirations. Not here. In K-Statedom, this hero is to be made fun of because his voice, and demeanor, does not personify the machismo that Bulldog Underwood and Frank Martin do.

When Weber won the first conference championship, in Manhattan, for over 3 decades, the Frank bunch said: "He hasn't won a tournament game!" They loved it when Weber was upset by LaSalle so they could destroy that fantastic feat that even Bulldog and Frank couldn't accomplish with the corrupt DC pipeline.

The Frank bunch has always complained that the program is trending down after that 27 win season and conference championship. They told us that they predicted it would do so. Yet, the program has been trending upward over the last 3 years and that excuse is no longer used. The Frank bunch resort back to the ole, "he hasn't won a tournament game."

Please don't try and placate ole learnin with the, "Don't let them bother you." I will not stand by and remain silent when a grave injustice has been done against one of the good guys in basketball. There isn't another coach who could have accomplished what Weber did at K-State without resorting to a corrupt pipeline of recruiting.

First conference championship in over 30 years.
Three NCAA tournament appearances in five years.
A clean program where players don't get in trouble with the law, graduate, and are wonderful representatives of the University.
Just consider Nino, Gip, Austin, Wes, DJamer among many others. We have two players, this year, who are going to use their education to help underprivileged youth, etc.

If it had not been for one player, Marcus Foster, Weber would have had us in the tournament every year. There are not too many coaches who would have dismissed a player of Foster's talent. Our coach did and took a great deal of heat for restarting.

not sure if that is a cut and paste, but the idea that people not liking oscar has put added pressure on our players seems to be a stretch

They seem to perform better when oscar's neck is on the chopping block, so I say keep it up.
