COACH JEROME TANG WELCOME THREAD!!!

[pissclams]

We need to break out some Altman-era throwbacks, if only for fan. They're nice uniforms too.

I have one!

the program used to have the senior class travel around the state and play the local high school seniors to help build the brand and raise bread for the high schools.  one year they didn’t have five so I got pulled in as the fifth.  I think it was me, ski, daryl cunningham, beane, I think ron lucas had left town or something, I could be wrong about the line up.  anyway, I kept the jersey, my shorts got ganked I think, maybe in a box somewhere.

Wow! I also played in that tour but I was one of the high schoolers. We were the Southwest Kansas All Stars. When they came out to Garden to play their 5th was their manager, Kurt McGuffin.

The last play of the game, I had what I thought was a breakaway dunk. I was going in for the slam, then I saw Cunningham closing in from the wing. I went up but then I flinched because I thought me and the ball was going to get swatted to 1995. Bear in mind, at the time, I was a 6'2" 165 pound center. Because I flinched I bricked the dunk. Cunningham laughed and said "I was going to let you get it, bro" then he patted me on the back.

I was not a K-State fan at the time but those guys were cool as hell and very nice to us. The only one of them who tried to big time is kids was McGuffin, of course. This also was also just a couple of weeks after Ski went off against a State.

They wore white against us. Their jerseys were slightly nicer and cooler than ours.

that’s a great story about DC, he is a hell of a guy- currently an assistant coach at indiana state.  he gave me his mcdonald’s all american practice jersey which I still have to this day.  captain kurt (mcguffin) also played with us as he was the lead manager and dealt with all of the logistics for the guys on the tour.  he’s currently the ad at ut-martin. 
i remember the gym floor in baileyville was like a trampoline.  so was manhattan high, good times.

Good grief do either of you own an iron 

Look at the millennial not knowing an iron would melt the crap out of that jersey if I put an iron within 50 feet of it.

I don't want to insert myself into this argument but I just want to let you know at first glance I thought that jersey read RAT All Stars, which would have been pretty cool.

Fans opinions about former coaches are critical to the success of any program. That’s why that jerk ksu_FAN (“Fire Asbury Now”) needs to be banned.

if i would have known that's what FAN stood for I would have demanded the mods ban his ass. unreal.

[MakeItRain]

He definitely didn't continue to whine about Asbury after he left and Asbury was the worst K-State basketball coach in all of our lifetimes.

Chase Miller was being polite. Anyone crying about oscar Weber, either complaining about him, or complaining about how unfairly he was treated, is a huge loser. It's Tang time, who gives a crap about any coach not here.

Guys, I know Coach Tang has what it takes to heal the Wildcat Nation. 

Had this thought while I was taking a shower this morning: How is Coach Tang going to respond to the "eff KU" chant in the OOD on 1/17? Has he encountered a force as strong as the hatred Cat fans have for KU? Will this break his focus on owning Bill Self?

Will he briefly take over PA duties from Mitch “The Fort” Fortner? Time will tell.

Could he convince the Cat people to chant "Bless KU" in unison?

[BIG APPLE CAT]

If I were a student (can’t wait to enroll as a freshman next year! Go cats!) and Tang offered:
“If we are 4-1 or better in conference play going in to the ku game then students you guys chant “LETS GO TEAM!” during sandstorm…if I were a student (not old enough yet) I would absolutely take that bargain

No. He's far too cool for that.

Bullet dodged. I don't care if you are a coach, preacher, boss, parent, whatever, relating to people like this is dumb:

shark week looks tough, not even sure I could handle it

[Spracne]

Is it better to be oil or water 

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

Oil floats to the top 

[michigancat]

yes oil and water seem pretty easy to separate, no sharks required

[wetwillie]

Probably should xpost to social media thread but apparently Tang has been locked out of twitter for 3 weeks
