Jacob Pullen appreciation thread.

[pissclams]

is this dude the browniest brownie who basically relegated himself to a couple soccer threads in the Other Sports board, why doesn’t he post here anymore?

[stunted]

Imagine legitimately getting angry and having a power trip teaching a childrens game

That was a good interview.
Cannot believe it has been 11 years since Pullen left K-State.

0 goes in the rafters at the first KU home game with oscar's successor, right?

Uh, no. You should listen to the interview. He's also spoken about this before, oscar has absolutely nothing to do with why his jersey hasn't been retired yet

[mocat]

I will!

[tdaver]

So many great memories listening to Jake.  I want to love cats bball like that again.

We played Missouri right after breaking the streak against KU. If you remember, freshman Pullen was incredible that night. The very next game against Missouri Frank made a big deal about not playing Jake, he didn't play a single second, but he never told us why Jake didn't play, and we lost.

Could you imagine oscar benching Pack last year? I think somebody would literally burn the Ice Center to the ground.

I was just talking about this with my brother when we considered what Huggy or Frank would have done to Nowell after he pulled his hero-ball half court last-second shot against Iowa State. Honestly, I don't think Nowell woud have dared pull that bullshit with a strong coach.

lol, you're a weird guy. Did you miss that Huggins just played a game against us where he benched one of his favorite players because the player got T'ed up in back to back games then yelled at Huggins on the bench after getting that second T? Frank and Huggins players do stupid, undisciplined, selfish crap all of the time because they coach 18-22 year olds.

I think I forgot how intense Pullen was.  Barry might be similar but Pullen seems like he was on an entirely different Michael Jordan level mentality of how he tough and motivated he was to win.

im def in the "kids too soft these days" camp, but note that nowell came up big in the ot and the next game, so not shitting on him apparently worked...though i agree the play was shaqtin a fool level at best

If you want to have goosebumps... watch the highlights of the events as JPull is talking about them in the interview.

[XocolateThundarr]

Jake and Jamar were a lot of fun to talk to when we went to the first TBT thing in Chicago.  If I remember correctly, he wasn't very happy that a lot of the guys said they would play and be there then bailed.  Jamar was hurt, but it would have been awesome to see him play again.

You'll have to point out to me when Frank or Hugs had a player make as selfish or undesciplined play in as critical a situation as Nowell did with his hero-ball routine. It was the worst such example I've witnessed in decades of watcing K-State basketball.
I love Nowell, but he does extremely selfish, stupid things and there's no doubt we'll see more of the same.

I'm just going to assume Frank calling players selfish motherfuckers pretty much every game are examples of players being selfish motherfuckers, weird that screaming selfish motherfuckers at them didn't stop them from being selfish motherfuckers. It's almost like being a high level teenage athlete has some elements of self belief that can and does lead to occasional selfishness.

[nicname]

look at this selfish crap

  at the weird Iowans sounding exactly the same in their weird Iowa'y in both clips.  <--- prob edited but still 

[ben ji]

My favorite part of the interview was just how much Pullen loves K-State and how much he knows we love him back.

Second favorite part was some of the background behind the "I will not play in the NIT" quote like how he was M'F'n everyone in the locker room after the game about how KSTATE doesnt lose to teams like Colorado.
