lol at ku. they went from lew perkins and jim harbaugh to their current fball coach and their new "right fit" AD.

Quote

Tim Weiser, the former Kansas State athletic director who now works for the Big 12, hired Zenger as an associate AD at K-State.

"I hired Sheahon as my associate AD for development for a variety of reasons and was not surprised when he quickly became AD at Illinois State and now at KU," Weiser said. "He is a bright, passionate and above all, highly principled individual. He's someone who is personable and compassionate, but who also now has the experience as AD at Illinois State to be ready to make the hard decisions that come with the job.

"In visiting with those at KU involved in this hiring, and knowing what they were looking for, Sheahon was an immediate candidate in my mind. One of the single most important factors when hiring for a position like this is 'fit.' Given his background at both KU and with the state of Kansas, there is no better fit for him than KU."

Currie has raised more money in 18 months during the worst economic times since the Great Depression, than Weiser/Zenger raised in 4 years, during some of the best economic/investment times in U.S. history.

That's pretty much all you need to know right there.

How do you pronounce this guy's name anyway?

Assuming it's She-Hawn.

First order of business, fire whoever wrote his background piece. Gig is only acceptable when used with 'em and for musicians.

Also, was the previous AD or other hire "afraid to make trips all over to meet people"?

If Krzyzewski is pronounced like Yee-Hawwwn you're probably right.

"He knows his football and is very knowledgeable when it comes to the game," said a source close to Zenger.

The "source" was obviously Snyder. The only way it would sound more Snyderish is if it read "This youngster knows his football and is very knowledgeable when it comes to the game."

Snyder hired Cosh and directed Vic out the door.

Are we going to sit here and discuss who Bill likes and who he doesn't? Lots of examples too.

Maybe after he cuts his teeth over there KSU can hire him when Currie heads back to Tenn? Kind of an ADIW, but ku pays him as he waits.

Step number 1 for Yee-hawn as soon as he takes his post: Re-install the legions of old women whose first husbands once donated $20,000 in 1989 to their rightful PERMANANT seats at midcourt eye-level.

NO MORE POINTS SYSTEM. CUT THE HEAD OFF OF THE BLACK TICKET SCALPER SNAKE!

That's pretty much all you need to know right there.

You forgot to add the caveat that ADSZ can't go out and talk with certain money men because of the ticket scandal.

It's going to be raining IOUs in Lawrence, boys. You better go snag as many up as you can because they're just as good as real money.

Totally confused now.

A- source told me his townie Manhattan friends call him either “Yee-Hawn” or “E-Mawn”. Some are now saying “Shannon”. Mods?
