No, denied. Went too many directions over too long of time. Start with @kstatesports RT'ing some dude talking about how we could be the mizzou of this year and that Weber started out well at Illinois.

Don't be surprised if Kansas State becomes next year's Missouri. Wildcats return a ton of key parts + should flourish under oscar Weber.

It's not identical but oscar Weber's situation in taking over Kansas State is similar to when he took over Illinois. Both teams ready 2 win.

@TrimGoEMAW maybe Vanderbilts. Robin Nigros (not racist) has a nice selection. In a pinch, check TSC or Orschlens. go cats

@TrimGoEMAW @TopekaTalls Guys, cheer up, we have a budget surplus in the athletic dept. that's better than winning basketball games.

Pete ?@Pete_goEMAW_com
eff it. When Snyder retires (dies at desk) lets go basketball-first and just bank the huge big 12 TV money. Will be too late to kick us out

Trim ?@TrimGoEMAW
@Pete_goEMAW_com @TopekaTalls That, and the KSTATEO P.R. department's doing a bang-up job tonight. So blessed.

When measuring ability don't worry about how high so Rome can jump pay attention to how high they want 2 jump.- goals and work ethic is key

Oh. I think our SID does a pretty great job though. I mean, are they supposed to say that they think Weber sucks or RT someone saying it was a bullshit hire? You know what's weird? Tom Gilbert is still openly buds with Frank Martin. Also Yoder. Tweet him and stuff. You'd think that would be frowned upon. Maybe they encourage it to perpetrate their ruse of no animosity? Anyway, I like all those guys/gals.

Sure, great guys and gals. Maybe they shouldn't say anything. Nobody's coming around because somebody said that our team that 2 months ago was thought to be on track for a Big 12 'ship can now possibly be this year's mizzou and that Weber at least starts out well when he gets an established team. I would've happily kept drinking coors light and watching heat-pacers until they pushed that BS.

If we want to have any chance with press passes down the road, you're going to have to play the game with Tom. I've always liked Gilbert, even if he was Frank's puppet.

Based upon his opinion, if I were coach I'd be the best recruiter, because I'd offer all the 5 stars. That's more than any coach!

Yes, Weber will probably put in some bs rule that says we have to complete 5 passes before every shot or something. The first time Angel gets benched for stopping and popping I am going to lose my crap.
