Ksu
-
Ksu just lost 4th player, Nigel Johnson.
-
Now Bruce can build from below the ground up.
-
Can he build from the ground up? I think that’s the question K-State has to ask.
-
The reason Weber was given the job again this year was that no rising star coach would dare walk into the ruined wreckage of KSU Basketball. I don’t believe that Weber or Ford will keep their jobs next year.
-
@Crimsonorblue22wow they are a sinking ship! I hadn’t seen the news about other players leaving until today. I’ve been purposely avoiding college basketball
-
KSU is not a bad basketball program and at times it has been very good and has a well above average history and tradition in the sport. They have a decent arena, a very loyal fan base so they should be able to get a good up and coming coach to come to Manhattan…ah, there is the catch…Manhattan…:(
-
“Calling Gregg Marshall… calling Gregg Marshall…”
I know he said he is returning to Wichita, but make him a “ridiculous offer” and watch him scatter!
-
Glad Johnson left, didn’t want to watch another game in Manhattan where he hits 5 30 footers.
-
@JayHawkFanToo To be consistently relevant, they will have to have a Bill Snyder type basketball dude just fall into their laps. It could happen, but the odds are against them.
-
Call me crazy, but I kinda like the sound of Gregg Marshall to KSU!!!
Doubt it will happen, but I’d love the chance to pound him 2-3 times a year. And since he built WSU into a real program he might be able to do it at KSU and actually create a REAL rivalry!
-
@VailHawk Maybe since he built WSU into a real program he can have fun ducking the question of why KSU won’t play WSU when he’s the KSU coach.
-
@approxinfinity Marsha would go visit at ksu, then come back after the kochs kick in a lil more!
-
@approxinfinity did you read about his ex asst coach, Chris jans?
-
-
Heck yes! Maybe he can be the next Jack Hartman! I doubt if he can match the class of Jack, but we will settle for the competitive spirit!
“To be consistently relevant, they will have to have a Bill Snyder type basketball dude just fall into their laps. It could happen, but the odds are against them.”
Maybe a Wildcat alum… hmmm… I know… LON KRUGER! Err… (cough)… almost forgot… that bridge has already been crossed:
-
That’s no problem if he was a Duke coach and it is some NCAA refs reviewing the tape. “See what? See what? We didn’t have that angle available to us!”
-
@drgnslayr good one! What a sleaze ball!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah, and their pinhead president or ad or somebody said that court storming should be legal, should be accepted. Forget the fact that its dangerous!
-
@wrwlumpy I think they are both in jeopardy. Weber more so. I can’t imagine how bad they might be in the coming season.
-
Watching KState go to the BOTTOM of the BigXII, in the most agonizing way, will be one of the most satisfying parts of next season, purely to see their worthless fans suffer.
Let’s just call Brucee Weber our “agent in place”.
Now people may understand why I nicknamed him Weber-downdraft. And he’s about to suck KSuck dry, if that’s even possible…
Maybe they can get a bunch of KS-grown ZERO-star, 1-star, 2-star cornfed in-state kids and walk-ons to be on their basketball team! Lol!!!
Time to twist the knife: What would Self, Hoiberg, Huggins, Kruger, Johnson, Tubby, Krzyzewski, Pitino, Izzo, Roy Williams, Dana Altman, Frank Martin, Boeheim, Calhoun, etc…say about the job Weber is doing with KState??? (more laughter)…
-
Yeah, maybe after a year or two, we can complain about KState “not playing KU”, especially right after the 2 KU-ksu meetings every year…(now howling with laughter)…
-
@ralster are you loving this or not? Ha ha!!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, its all fun…and will get even better after Snyder’s system withers away once he’s gone. I’ve got a pretty strong feeling or hunch that KSU simply does NOT have the horsepower to sustain any type of excellence. I mean look at their excuse for an AD (Currie). Worthless. I had a KSU purple-short+purple shoe wearing alum that plays noonball with us say he couldn’t believe KSU hired Weber 2 days after he got fired (fired!) from Illinois.
I think Currie would be clueless (again) in hiring a football coach, just as he was on his basketball hire. Biggest mistake was letting Frank Martin get away.
For all the animosity towards Mizzou, from a neighboring state…there could be 1 thing worse: The State of KS being made to look bad by people right here in our own state.
KSU wants a rivalry? They don’t have the horses to fight that war. Never will. They absolutely suck, and its about to get worse.
-
@ralster My super-intuitive powers enable me to perceive that possibly K-State isn’t your favorite team/institution in the world. I’m good, huh?
I’ve been reading some books about KU history (trying to convince myself that I still love basketball despite the OAD’s, whom I feel about the same way that you do K-State) and many of the ex players talk about the hatred that Ted Owens, Jack Hartman and Norm Stewart had for each other. No mutual respect - hatred.
I kinda like that.
-
@nuleafjhawk Self won’t hate individuals, too Will Rogers. He was on board with hating Missouri, but as an institution.
-
@ParisHawk Exactly right about Self, if we talk seriously for a minute. Too “Will Rogers” is a great way to put it. Ive never really seen him lose his cool when on the mic. Sideline coach-mode is where his competetiveness comes out. And in the closed private practice gym, so I’ve heard…
For some reason, he absolutely did not care for Mizzou, either as the Illini coach, nor as KU coach. He may have taken the job snub personally.
And…we’re about to find out how personal he took losing to VCU, and Shaka Smart’s jab at KU last week…(this will be fun, place your bets…)
-
Wouldn’t you be upset for life if you are Bill Self and MU selects “pretty boy/metro sexual” Quin Snyder over you? I, for one, am so glad MU passed on Bill Self, MU could be what KU is now…Oh, the Humanity!

Evacuating Manhattan - Anxious Wildcats
-
Weber is desperately looking for this guy to save his program!!!
-
There is nothing wrong with Bruce Weber that being fired can’t fix.
-
The Mildcats have to look at the bright side… being at the bottom gives them the opportunity to take on a new coach and rebuild and perhaps win COY after he lifts their program back up to 4th place in the league. Great opportunity!
-
Thomas Gibson worked out w/Green Bay packers.
-
Rogers must like basketball players. He wants his own A. Gates.
