No surprise to anyone
-
Who will be their next insufferable leader…

Where’s Steve Henson these days? Mitch Richmond? Rolando Blackman? They need to make a splash and not a splat. Don’t know where you turn if you’re KSU, but I would really like the rivalry back.
-
K-State fans want Underwood, who I think could be a good coach for them, but there is absolutely no reason for Underwood to take that job. He has a better gig at Illinois right now, and if he can recruit Chicago, he will always be competitive there. He has no such guarantee at KSU.
-
They should steal Ballard from Washburn or Bochee away from PittState. That’d be kind of cool.

@Kcmatt7 said in Bruce's Obit:
Bruce has gone by many names here over the years, and almost certainly KSU can’t hire someone goofier than Liberace (@KUSTEVE we miss you) aka Squeaky.
KCMATT, Hello there. My name is KUSTEVE. LOL!
Liberace has sailed into the sunset, and the grand piano has been shuttered at Silo Tech. May he rest in piece.
-
@DanR Honestly, this just feels too perfect for Greg Marshall’s comeback.
-
@DanR no way Brett would do it
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t think so either, but he’s racking up some wins.
Ballard is from Hutchinson, isn’t he? What’s the ratio of KU/K-State fans in Hutch?
-
2-1 ksu
-
Ouch. My neighbors are from that area. Dad went to KU, Mom went to Kstate. Four kids all wear KU stuff. Both sets of grandparents are purple.
-
Maybe snacks will take it? I know he interviewed for the Illinois job.
-
I thought he would “retire” but the verbiage might be related to his buyout. This was known for awhile.
-
I’ve never really felt the hatred for Weber. Honestly seems like a decent guy. But, if he’s really not cutting his hair to get back at KU, wow. Imagine looking in a mirror every day, combing his stupid mop head, and thinking about Bill Self. Tears rolling down his cheeks.
-
Would they hire. Gregggggg?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Something about it just feels right. KSU fans think that job is not the crappy job it is. There is a reason that Wichita State has had more success as a program than KSU has in the past 30 years.
-
@Kcmatt7 but a guy that hits players?
-
Turgeon!
-
@Kcmatt7 the wsu fans want him back, they don’t care if he hits, chokes players or coaches. Blows me away. I like Isaac brown. They did win the league last yr. I like their team, but the fans hate us so bad!
-
Hear me out. Tom Crean.
-
Dumpster Fire at Georgia

guess we thinking alike BShark. - -Saw where Tom got fired this morning & thought there you go - - K/State go after Crean. Could be a good hire possibly for them
-
Bruce may believe that his wish to eventually look like a cross between Albert Einstein and Don King makes him look noble but in this day and age it feels sad. It will be interesting to see if national media looks him up when one of the FBI scrutinized teams gets a ruling. If there is a sanction then he can crow, get a haircut and his family can safely resume taking holiday pictures.
-
Crean is the type of guy you shake hands with, and then you want to go wash your hands. Something sleazy about him…
-
The name I’m seeing is Grant McCasland from UNT.
-
There is only one word to describe Bruce… Petty! Reminds me of some of the junk from Marsha. This dime store mentality at KSU needs to stop because they are tarnishing the B12 basketball image.
KSU earned every bit of this karma. He was a retaliation hire against KU… I feel certain of it. No intelligent administration would select him after he stopped the Self momentum at the Illini program. Yes… Bruce does it the right way… no one knows how to slip out of town at midnight when the town has torches and pitchforks circling like Bruce.
Bruce has laid down the foundation for his next hire after badmouthing KU on his way out. There must be a program out there somewhere looking for a vendetta hire. And after they suffer years of humiliation he will be run off again, but the blame will rest with the school because they were warned. Or maybe Bruce retires from basketball. I heard Marsha is still around Wichita and in need of a golf caddy. I guess he allegedly hit a hole-in-one recently… if anyone believes him.
I LOVE how Self took all of this… stating this was never a personal competition between him and Bruce. A subtle way of dismissing Bruce and never recognizing him as an equal… because he was not.
Goodbye, Bruce! “FOUR!” haha
-
If KSU has an ounce of intelligence they will reach out to Lon Kruger and bring him into the fold for scouting/hiring a new coach. Otherwise… they probably end up with Crean. Another vendetta hire.

Or Gregggggggggggggggg
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’ve seen it’s between him and the coach of Wyoming- I think his name is Linder.
-
Lord, help us!
-
@FarmerJayhawk his wife would like their fKU chant, she would probably lead it. Do they serve alcohol there?
-
WSU fans seem to think Chris Jans from NMS could get the ksu job. They actually said they’d be ksu fans since they don’t back wsu anymore.

Georgia is hiring Mike White from Florida. Wow.

Sounds like Florida fans wanted him gone. Crazy
