COACH JEROME TANG WELCOME THREAD!!!

[EMAWzifried]

According to K-State athletics: 
The press conference will be streamed on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ as well as K-State social channels. It will also be carried on the K-State Sports Network, as a Q&A with the Voice of the Wildcats Wyatt Thompson will follow the formal press conference.

The culture of joy sounds more appealing than being angry all of the time does, anyway.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

Maybe some of the people who want to be angry can go have a chat with Coach Tang about how the whole joy thing isn't going to work for them.

The joy thing is working for me.

I'm angry.

I'm angry that the line of lavender gear that his family is outfitted in isn't available anywhere. I have some lav stuff but I want the wildcats hoodie that his daughter has. If she was an XL, I'd beat her ass and take it from her. I had to buy a lavender t-shirt from Rally House last night, gross.

Angry enough?

There is no way that the school would be marketing Tang the way they are if lavender wasn't about to come back in a big way. So prepare for joy.

I know it's a big shock, but he's slaying this presser!

[Phil Titola]

damn it lunch ran long.  Just jumping in.  Loving the "off the podium" casual approach he's got going on

[420seriouscat69]

You'll have to rewatch  it. He's made me want to cry in a good way, many times already.

too lazy to look, is there a link?

Typical softball questions at a press conference intended to pump up the new guy. Seems like he has a fire to win that oscar didn’t have, though.

Me too. ESPN+ almost messed it up though.

I live 5 hours away and I have to talk myself out of buying season tickets. You can bet your ass I'll be at that first game though, on some random November Wednesday against Coppin State.

[420seriouscat69]

I'm sure they'll put it on K-State sports soon

You think that trasher portal and NIL question was a softball? I've head plenty of people eff that up when they knew it was coming like our AD and past men's basketball coach, among many others.

My favorite quote was when he got emotional speaking about Baylor and Scott Drew and what they meant to him and how it's going to feel to play them 2-3 times a year: "It's going to be real real tough.... ON  THEM!" and then just stared at the audience with this badass confident look.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

amaze. he's gonna teach the guys how to climb ladders

Agreed, they won't let us forget to go watch that on replay I bet.

[joda]

So far he’s literally done everything as perfect as he possibly could. He also gives off the type of energy that could unite the fan base behind him. Enough talk of God, family, and hard work to rally those that love oscar and “doing it the right way” and enough talk of wanting to win at almost any cost to intrigue the #mcmw crowd

My two favorite quotes were:

1. “Coach how do you plan to keep your emotions in check? It seemed you were starting to get emotional last night.”

Tang: (pause) I don’t want to keep my emotions in check.

2. The story about Scott Drew cracking open that bottle of wine he was saving to celebrate “something important” when Tang got the job, after he didn’t open it after the Big 12 or national championship.

Oh man. The whole staff wore some elite quarter zips this year and I looked all over and nothing. I was in Manhattan last week and I went everywhere hoping to find something similar and nothing at the Union, Rally, or the Superstore. I was bummed.

Can’t wait to read the stories about Bramlage being vandalized by the opposing fan base the night before a big game!

amaze. he's gonna teach the guys how to climb ladders

#2 is cool but I hope this is the last I hear Scott Drew's name.  He's the only thing that can taint Tang right now for me.

I have the hoodie his daughter wore, they sold it a K-State Super Store.

Here is the audio of the money quote from Coach with Wyatt after the presser.
