Frank's sarcasm has gotten way out of control....

I'm a kstate fan and hope we do well

This.

I'll pay attention to Frank because he was ours and I really liked him when he was here, but I'll put very little energy in hoping he does well.

energy? watching college basketball is fun

Frank has sucked at SC.  I didn't think he would struggle as much.  He's going to get canned next year, possibly mid year, if he continues to (a) suck and (b) be Frank.  Also, I do not like his hair style.

They were absolutely brutal when he got there, he's already nearly completely turned that roster over. People want to blow Tubby Smith for what he did at Tech this year and they're no better than USC and Tubby was left a better roster.

Frank is under the microscope because of his demeanor not the on court product. People who actually watch the team see the improvement, this isn't me talking it's writers in South Carolina. That's more meaningful to me than 200 word posts that analyze the state of his program by going to gamecocksonline.com and looking at the schedule and results.

I barely have enough time to watch KSU hoops and BBS about it, I don't have time for Frank.

I dunno.  it's kind of a results business.

I personally expended a great deal of energy when I posted that I hoped Frank does well. *whew*

They are better. They went from 210 to 137 in kenpom. From -.13 to -.08 in SEC ppp differential.

Hey, buy in or quit.

Congrats to Matt Figger for equaling Frank Martin in total road wins at USCe in a two year period.   Both have 1 each.

I wouldn't say there's been improvement from year one to year two under Frank, but it wouldn't be fair to judge him based on that either.  He sent like 7 players packing this past off-season.  Then, our only returning PG left for the NFL.  Then the PG who transferred from 'Nova broke his foot.  Frank's basically been playing with a bunch of underclassmen and Brenton Williams(who actually has improved significantly under Frank).  Take it for what it's worth, but I say all of that as someone who doesn't even like Frank very much.

Edit: also, Gregg Marshall was dying to be the coach at South Carolina for the longest time...so...I don't even care who coaches us anymore.  Nothing matters, we're alone in the universe, and morality is an illusion.

[Dugout DickStone]

Great post.  Welcome DT

[OK_Cat]

Should we tell this taco guy about 'franking' or just let him think that 7 players leaving is a fluke thing?

Oh, I'm aware.  Like I said, I'm not a Frank fan.

[Spracne]

So here we have a fan of food who frowns on Frank :(

iambs, beaches

Should split it into two lines, and make it trimeter.

If you buy into the "frankin'" philosophy, it is possibe for Frank to Frank himself? I suspect so.

"I personally don't think he needs to change," Thornwell said. "We like the way he is now. How he coaches is how he coaches. And you can't really get mad at a guy for showing that much passion."

Frank. Just Frank.

I'm pretty sure all of Frank's Freshman liked him year 1 @ K-State. 2-4 years of that crap is a different story, I'm sure.

sure if you want to ignore what like all of his former players who don't get franked say, even Dom still looks back fondly, I'm not sure he ever trashed Frank

I'd say it's 50/50. I'm sure i'm wrong.  I can agree i'm biased.

Great job, Frank. Also love the cufflinks. Have a few of my own.
