oscar's Press Conference

[chum1]

The stuff he says never bothered me. By the same token, I never got horned up over the stuff Frank said. But I enjoy stuff in my own weird ways. I guess I need a new avatar.

When he took us to the elite 8 without our best player, half this board still couldn’t accept him. You guys don’t deserve good things.

The facts that oscar never got a fair shake from a not insignificant portion of our fanbase, and that oscar brought/brings a lot of negative attention his own way aren't mutually exclusive.

Well, the rough ridin' tree fell in the Illinois woods and we heard it long before he got to KSU.

fantastic presser, one of the best ever. fan expectations at k-state are too unrealistic. everyone wants and expects k-state to contend for a big 12 title every couple years, or at worst finish top three, and to make the ncaa tourney every year or close to it. well, that is simply never gonna happen.

my goals for k-state hoops are simple:

1. beat kansas once every four years.
2. be good enough to not get relegated to having all your games on ESPN+ or ESPNNews.
3. be good enough where k-state's crap fans care enough to fill bramlage to half capacity or more on a weeknight.
4. make a deep ncaa tourney run once per decade.

we don't settle for 2nd when 1st is available.

My kstate bball expectations are pretty similar to football

1. Make the tourney/bowl game 4/5 years.
2. Seriously contend for a conference title once every 5 years.
3. Deep run once every 10ish years (Elite 8/NYD bowl)
4. Keep fans interested

If Klieman wins the big12 this year then has 3 straight years where Kstate fails to make a bowl game he would be gone as well.

We've outed Oscar.

When he brought up the Doug Gottlieb part being the "most ridiculous thing ever" that was super funny and my highlight of the whole presser.

I found it funny that a dude who has finished rough ridin' last in the conference for three years in a row was talking down about anyone else

Frank was corny as eff, everyone knew it but most ignored it because the basketball was a fever dream coming off the previous decade of crap. IIRC you were actually one of the people that pointed this out while he was here.

[MakeItRain]

Haven't finished it all but the part of him vying for another job and kinda hinting at taking players with him is cringey.

I didn't hear that. I'm fine with any player who wants to follow him to the Ohio Valley Conference or the Sun Belt.

What program is going to hire a 65 year old coach who appears to be in decline? Maybe his alma mater, which has an opening, if they have no interest in actually moving the program forword, something oscar has twice demonstrated he can't do.  But yeah if  they do and he could take Ish and Kasubuke with him, by all means.

If he gets another head coaching job will you go away too?

YES!

Why do people keep saying ksu fans have too high expectations?

Upper half, post season of some kind and occasionally competing for big 12 like we did for about a decade before the last three years is unrealistic?

It pisses me off so much, it's insulting to any fan base, it's a losers mentality to place artificial limitations on really anyone, and it doesn't reflect how easy it is to win in college basketball.

Yeah, to me it was exactly the same as when we started getting good in football in Snyder's first years. We weren't getting a gourmet meal. We were rough ridin' starving.

I don't think I need to watch this based on the comments.  It would only confirm my opinion of him.  See ya oscar.

You know I've defended oscar and I'll continue to do so but a lot of that press conference was even a bit much for me. I don't know why people are saying that K-State shouldn't have given him the platform, it was a bad look for him, not for the school, and he would have talked anyway, better to do it on our platform rather than with Soren Petro or Bob Lutz.

If you think about it, it’s all classic oscar.

Suck ass for three years, make a nice little speech after your last game, refuse to retire gracefully, the burn bridges down on your way out while taking some blame but mostly making excuses. It’d be nice to have a Robbie Hummel on this team.

It’s been said before, but I really don’t give a crap what our coach’s demeanor is as long as he’s not breaking rules or chasing away good guys. If oscar was getting KSU into the tournament 8/10 years I’d think his quirks were adorable and the whiny baby attitude was just a motivator for our guys.

It’s not like I’d have any more tolerance for a coach who could finish terribly 3 consecutive years but was able to explain humbly and in detail what he was doing wrong.

But your profanity filter is on, which makes me question your credibility....

Oscar's presser was a good reminder that the only reason he got where he is was a serious cocktail of him baiting people into feeling sorry for him and stupid luck. The groveling was just downright shameful.

Horrible take from a good poster, you hate to see it. The people who are seemingly the least attached seem to be the most emotional about this stuff.

Woof! There’s a lot of truth behind his final message. Like @Mir said earlier, he gives you answers you don’t want to hear and not PR coach speak. This makes him vulnerable to anti Brucers, but goaddan I love it. I hope we all get a farewell speech when our days are done with our employer. The ppl mad about his last press conference speech, are the ones that know they bullied him and faded out during his success here. It is what it is.
