Huge win for the cat fans who’ve stuck by ksu bball the entire way  :emawkid:

Oh no you don't get to jump on board the Tang bandwagon with that false narrtive squeak's boi. This is for those of us who knew Oscar was a mistake from day 1 because we understood he had no idea how to build and sustain a program. It's for those of us who continued to root for the Cats, go to games and desperately tried to overlook the dorky loser ssqueaking from the sidelines. It's for us who constantly lobbied for change only to hear the same losery refrain "who can we get who's better?" even as the dorky loser oversaw the three worst seasons of K-State basketball since  Gardner built the program after WWII.

It's those fans who get to lift a celebratory mug for their foresight and understanding the need to hire a coach who, as Pullen observed, would build a culture.
Some of us aren’t whiny little bitches and root for the uni, not the coach. Get over yourself. oscar left with two Big 12 titles, an elite 8, ended the streak, and is the all time winningest coach at K-State. I’m happy we moved on and I appreciated those successful years as well.

The point of the false narrative went over your head, to the surpise of no one. But you were a diehard Oscar defender even has he led us thru a third-straight historically shitty season.

Speaks to quantity of games with longer seasons and padding won-loss with cupcake scheduling -- such as te non-con he bequeathed Tang thiss year. By winning percentage, Oscar's not top 5.

I've never been so happy to see a guy foul out.

I said the same damn thing when it happened, felt bad for a second, then knew it was for the better.

I forgot what kenpom used to say about fouling up 3 but I think I would have preferred that strategy

Should have fouled as soon as they crossed the line

He essentially said it's a coin flip either way

That mistake brought us 2 big 12s and an elite 8. I was not happy at all with the hire and he’s very uncool, but he had some of the best highs of any coach we’ve ever had, and I’m thankful for that. Unlike some of you unappreciative dorks.

Like seriously, you’re mad that some fans chose the option to not bitch and whine for 10 years of their life, over some dork on the sidelines, because we enjoyed watching our school play basketball. Get a life!

Just love these Cats, guys! It will be rewarding!
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

can't imagine emawzified and these other dorks cheering for the cats during the assbury and neckbrace years. those were the years i fell in love with cat basketball. pure, unconditional love. i've heard if you can't cheer for your team when they're 0-10, you don't deserve to cheer for them when they're 10-0. that's a little extreme. but one thing is for sure, if you can't cheer for your team when they're in the elite 8, then you don't deserve to cheer for them at any time.

I like fun basketball and dislike not fun basketball. I am also maximally skeptical of anyone pushing the word family if they aren’t my family.  Beware the emotional grift. It always leads to worse times.

I  was in Bram for Asbury's final game against KU when a pissed-off crowd wa loudly  calling for his firing and at KC Municipal when Wooley's team got blown out by UMKC. I was also in
Ahearn when Blackman and bros blew out KU 96-69. So yeah, I've cheered for well-coached K-State basketball and badly coached Cats hoops. Thankfully, we're back on the well-coached side again. I can't imagine  dorky loser fan understanding that, and that dorky loser fn sure as eff doesn't get to invent a narrative that the fans of the dorky looser who set K-St ate hoops for years by insisting "w can't get anyone better" are somehow the true deserving fans.
I was a dumbass who was eternally optimistic with those badly coached teams, just as I was always hopeful Oscar wasn't the dorky loser and could turn the page. But no, he is a lifelong dorky loser who lost any connection with his teams when coach The Flush graduated.

No one hated Asbury or Wooly the way they hate oscar. People would hate oscar no matter how much he won. Wins and losses are irrelevant. People are addicted to hating oscar. They're completely irrational about it. And they can't ever let it go.

I think you could count on one hand how many people on this board unconditionally hated oscar.  Most of us enjoyed 2012-2019

Did anyone else see the exchange between Tang and Nowell after Nowell threw a no-look pass in the 2nd half to i think Tomlin that was stolen? In a timeout, Tang was calling him out about it and Nowell said he didn't do it, to which Tang replied "yes you did." It's accountability like that that has made Nowell a better player and ensure he continues to improve. No chance he waves off a play in the last second this year to go hero ball. Coaching is a beautiful thing.

that's true. and yup they are totally irrational about it. who cares as long as he gets dubs. which he got plenty of when he won 2 big 12 championships and took us to an elite 8.

I don't think any of the posters on this blog have given oscar much thought since Tang took over. The only reason his name even comes up is when people take the stunted and wacky troll bait and I say that as someone who has been guilty of taking the bait.

I guess what I'm saying is, those 2 are pretty much the only reason anyone still even mentions his name. I think all but 2 bloggers on this blog are very happy with focusing on the present and the future and couldn't give two shits about the old regime

yeah, everyone else has moved on.  everyone except some chodes who turned this thread which was about the cats, into a thread about themselves.

maybe it’s true what they say- you don’t always have to have two n’s in your name to be a kenn.

This was before the trolling started in this thread:

That was the most JYC bball game I’ve seen since Frank left and i absolutely loved it.

Maybe I read too much into things, but I still see it in lots of threads. Like when HugeCat thought that Nowell should be benched because he's a oscar player and therefore won't be as good as a Tang player.

People would sound way less crazy if they could keep their oscar hating out of their Tang love.

Do you blackout every time Emawzifried posts with his manic behavior or are you just selective with what you take in on this subject? He brought up oscar. He’s a psycho about him. He’s a clown and nobody on this board ever said we couldn’t do better than oscar, so he’s bringing up dumb crap from social media and trying to put it here. God speed and good luck with The Who gets to root for their school and who doesn’t “narrative” because some of us still gave a crap even when we had an unlikeable coach. Children!
