I'm going to be in NYC.   :frown:  Never thought I'd say that followed by the frowny guy

go to a popular bar to watch it.  And brag or something.

GOSP is taking me on a tour of the cool kid hangouts like a boss  :gocho:

Great chance to show off the Frank Martin Family Tarp.

currie is fasttracking the limestone tarp replacement.  not a sure thing, but it should be ready.

Yeah, sucks it's not beamed straight into the brains of every human on earth.  Guess we have to settle for the most elite broadcast that currently exists.

there is plenty of historical precedent for concern over both attendance and hokeyness.

They'd get a bill in the mail from ksu_FAN if they did.  Dear K-State, if this is actually a concern I want you to know I was joking and I'm pretty sure ksu_FAN will let you use it all you want.

Give me some ideas.

No matter what KStateo musician we get to perform you should make one with Jay-Z on it so it looks like he was there.

It's like they made an awesome looking laser show, then they let Catmatt choose the design at half-court.

Guys, I've sat in meetings like where they decide what kind of stuff their gonna do at events like this. I've heard the dinky half-ass honkeytonk small time cheap horseshit idea's they like to come up with.

This thing needs to be done right.... classy, and elite. I've waited for a night like this for so long. I'm seriously worried.

We need to start a theme ourselves, and not the let the university decide it.

How about instead of a black out, we have a black-tie out? Everyone wears suits, brings cigars, top hats, etc. VERY elite.

This event has "Subway Party Tray" written all over it.


Not the little shitty one either.  The big one.  Multiple cheeses.

The thing that makes me feel better at least is that Frank is the kind of coach that knows how important these things are to recruiting and will probably be very interested in what they are planning for it.

If the athletic dept staff looks at this as they should, which is that it's about 10% for the fans, 90% for recruits, that will help immensely.

Some things I really hope we do:
- Not the Wabash. Looks kind of cool from far away, completely embarrassing during espn closeups.
- No band, please. Nothing but hip hop.
- No Wyatt. Go get somebody cool and half-way recognizable to emcee this thing.
- Invite back old players. Whoever, but def Mike and Bill and have them talk about the millions of dollars they have now because they went to K-State.
- Get the hottest women possible everywhere we can. Only the cuttest classy cats. The idea is quality over quantity. Put hot women all around the recruits serving them drinks.
- Dim the lights, badass highlight videos, shoutouts from famous people, awesome frank martin speech, adorable pullen/samuels speech, lazers, doom logo's, elite eight banner unveiling (can we get some banners, please?), chanting recruits names when we show them on the jumbotron, dunk contest and call it good.

Frank and Co seem pretty hip.  i imagine it will look just fine.

Did Currie ever have anything like this at TN?  Maybe he can stabilize this and keep it from being bad lasers and shitty paid guests in track suits?
