I am sorry.


The way you stated it before made it appear as if YOU and fellow fans didn't give a shit. I wasn't the only one that read it that way, either.

Anyway, no offense.

ROFL

I think that would a brash, illogical move. What's to say we'll come across another coach of Mangino's caliber/lineage at a historically mediocre program like Kansas?

Too risky. If anything, our assistant coaches could use some tweaking.

I mean...I have no serious affinity for fatty Mangino...but seriously, who the hell is this school going to bring in that improves the program more than he has? We are talking KU football here.

As long as you're happy at the bottom of the conference, I don't care who the coach is.

KU keeps Magino. Period.


He has made them a competitive football program that has a few good years now and then.

As stated earlier, KU is a B-Ball school, if Magino can produce a .500 team that gets a bowl every once in a while, he will get a lot more years/cash to use at the buffet.

You still haven't provided a rational argument for getting rid of the guy, not that I expect you to. You are just being an asshole.

To be honest, I'd be happy with a winning record every year and getting into a bowl game. This is a basketball school and it always be.

Just got home from Manhattan. Thoughts:

1. On the way there, there were 2 of those "1 Kansas farmer feeds 128 people plus YOU" signs. Both had a sign covering the "128 people..." part, which was replaced by "1 Hungry Mangino." HAH.

2. Glad to see the Topeka Jayhawk Club sign vandalized, yet again.

3. KU is back to their rightful place as a football program, in DEAD LAST. Happy to see Mizzou join them to the party as well.

4. Daniel Thomas deserves Big XII Offensive Player of the Year looks. He's playing injured, too.

5. Mack Brown will win Big XII COTY if Texas competes for the National championship, as he should. Bill Snyder should be included in the mix if not.

KU firing Mangino? Don't make me laugh. No way. Yes, this season is a disappointment, but there is still an outside hope for a bowl game. Sucks, because I was looking forward to this season.

Oh well. I'll still go to KU football games this season and root just as hard as I do for the B-ball team.

I've actually provided a very rational argument, you just don't want to hear it. And you've proved it with your second paragraph in this quote.

Your "rational" argument consisted of pointing out their record right now. It ignores all of the progress he's made over the past few seasons, it ignores the expectations people have for the team, and it ignores the fact that they wouldn't be able to get anybody better. Stop being a douchebag.

The wheels have fallen off.

In the words of Barry Switzer..."Y'all had a nice run"

Mangino has won the games he was supposed to win and maybe one or two he shouldn't have.
As I've stated, and Frazod stated with vitriol, the 07 team was a product of the schedule and they failed miserably to follow that up with what should have been a North division championship. Don't tell me "History Awaits" means anything else.

I have seen several KU fans try to tell me they comparisons between the rise of KU football under Fats and the rise of KSU football under Snyder were virtual mirrors. The only problem is, they aren't.
At this stage of their careers one coach was about to reel off 4 consecutive 11 win seasons after taking over a team that had no talent, and almost no conference to play in.
The comparisons were poor and incorrect then and they are incorrect now.

I return you to your regularly scheduled wannabeing.

I enjoyed it, yeah. The Orange Bowl/NC year in 2008 is something I'll never forget.

They won a NC that year? N/M Mangino does deserve to stick around.

5-4 isn't even bad for KU...at least compared to what they were before Mangino came. So please, STFU about firing the guy.

You know what I meant.

Couple of other things to add:

1. Student section had "shit towels" - white towels with brown streaks on them. Grand.

2. A couple of planes flew over the stadium and wrote "KU" in the sky. Funny prank.

3. Basketball season starts tomorrow!

The "Year of Dominance:excluding MU" doesn't sound quite right.

I'm still waiting for that rational argument that explains what actual purpose there is in firing Mangino. What can be gained, exactly?

I guess I'm waiting for an argument that will never come.

"But it's good enough"!

Naw, it's not bad for KU.

However, the Big XII North was much tougher when Terry Allen was around. You had Nebraska, K-State and Colorado all vying for spots in the Top 25.

KU also scheduled tougher under Terry Allen. Mangino has scheduled nothing but a guaranteed 4 wins every year he has been there in the non-conference (and loses one or two on the way each year).

All Mangino has to show for his body of work is a fluke 2007 season.

I don't think anyone can make a rational argument to fire Mangino.

ROFL

What purpose would there be in firing a guy that has improved recruiting like he has?

Just beat Nebraska for your BIG Brother.

I know that already. Kstater should pick battles that he can win.

Recruiting has improved in most part due to the decline of KSU, Colorado, and Nebraska.


Good luck keeping that up for any length of time.

I wouldn't say 2007 was a fluke, especially with that win over VT,...KU had a great team that year, so did MU. But it was a perfect storm of good fortune, particularly with the easy schedule.

Hey, KC_C had to win something today....

Might as well be some hypothetical.

Is there another coach we could bring to KU that would recruit better than Mangino has?

No is the answer that question.

Hopefully the Leafs and Raptors win tonight, but I'm not getting my hopes up with those shitty teams.

VT was the only good win they had. It was a great season.

However, it was a FLUKE - when you look at the previous 2 years, and now the 2 years after 2007, it is nothing but a fluke, a statistical anomaly. I don't see why ku fans can't grasp the meaning of the word FLUKE.

Terry Bowden.

KU could hire Chris Petersen away from Boise St. I heard he likes the Big 12.

You're a good guy. I'm just f'ing w/ya a little. At least you're here.

A fluke suggests that luck was the main reason behind the success. I don't agree with that.

A statistical anomaly is not a fluke.

I would of let off of him if another beaker had shown. But he's here.

Oh, and I'm sorry you lost your Super Bowl today.

And he would do better than Mangino, why?

He can post a winning conference record? :shrug:

Would he get this team to the Orange Bowl? Would he have them consistently win games over the period of a half decade?

What makes you think that any other coach could do more with KU's program?

You might want to remove the stick.

You might want to stop being an irrational prick.

He can beat Oklahoma.

He already has the right color clothes.

That's not the History they were Awaiting.

And isn't KU actually a step down from Boise State? We are talking football programs, right?

I agree 100%.

It will be hard to keep getting those 3 stars that make up a decent midwest Big 12 team.

This picture sums it all up.

Knock out a few wine boxes tonight, Todd.

I'm sure he'll get some consolation when he gets home.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sZLmcf2vEC...0/Reesing1.jpg

no reason at all. not at this point in the ku football program evolution. if in a few years this becomes the norm maybe, but it would be insane to fire him right now.

Strangely enough, the fact that you KSU'ers are even bothering to celebrate this much only shows that deep down, you respect KU's football program's progress.

Strangely enough, there won't be any more *****Official KU***** football threads. I guess that shows deep down, how much KU fans actually respect their own program's progress.

Of course, you could start next weeks thread now. Win that one for your Big Brother.

LMAO

Good point.

Yeah, we shouldn't celebrate a victory.

http://media.kansascity.com/smedia/2...filiate.81.JPG

"We laughed... A winners laugh".

I do take solace in the fact that had KU won, this board would be as free of beakers as it is now.

Is that quote a reference to something that I'm missing?

No. It's a quote in response to the typical losers lament of "Since you're in this thread, deep down you must respect" ....

Actually it's a quote from a great book written by Jim Bouton when he played for the Seattle Pilots after being with the Yankees on a World Champion team. His context was much funnier though.

Ever read that book? As baseball fan, it's a staple. It's dated now as it was written in 1969, but still funny and insightful as hell.

No, I'll have to read it I guess.

Well plenty of people have made the arguement your just content with mediocrity, dumb as ****, or someone uses your figurative ears as cum dumpsters. What can be gained by getting rid of a guy that is average at best is a shot at trying to become something other than an excuse to get together to drink beer while waiting for basketball season to start. I applauded you earlier for not being a no show pussy like Skip and Reerun but your doing yourself a real disservice at this point.
Mangino is going to eat himself into the morgue so a new coach will be had soon enough. His fatass has one conference winning season in eight years and with a great college QB his program has regressed since the 2007 FLUKE or ABERRATION (pick which one sounds less painful). All day long you've been defending your program as being a great program and now your fine with fatass and mediocrity. Pick one and ****ing own it. Quit being a wishy washy bitch. Or better yet do yourself a favor and give it up. You've officially high jacked this thread and you've gotten your attention, but I'm sick of hearing your drivel. It's STFU time.

Losers lament? No, you're only as happy as you are when you beat a good team. It's not nearly as much fun when you beat a team that sucks.

I don't think KCC has defended KU as being a great program. He did defend them as more than a fluke or aberration.

Yes, we saw no celebration on this board when KU beat a poor KSU team last year. None at all.

It's called being realistic, you dumb piece of shit. KU has taken a significant step up since Mangino arrived.

I've never once called KU's football program great. Stop painting me as something I'm not.

Dude, you're the guy with the massive inferiority complex here. How long have you been waiting for the satisfaction of actually beating KU at football? Does it really mean that much to you?

A bit of advice: stop ****ing whining like a little bitch about KU's football program. What the hell do you care, anyway?

Well William that is still a losing arguement :)

I defended the 2007 season as more than a luck-based fluke. The VT win is evidence of that. That is all.

Anyway, it seems that a lot of you have massive chips on your shoulders. I guess I should have expected that from KState fans...

Your sarcasm is spot on.

I went to the previous 3 matchups, and there is no way to describe how much KU loved beating KSU.

Closest way to describe their reaction was like they just won the Superbowl and World Series.

He hasn't hired anyone yet - well, except the womens basketball coach. I'd be interested to see who he could land.

Oh, and I'm not sure I would call Reesing a great college QB either. He's certainly been good, but I credit a lot of his success to Mangino's system and the players around him.

Reesing has been outstanding for KU.

Just about any program out there would love to have them on their team.

A great college QB, though? He isn't exactly what I would define as that.

Waaaaaaah.

"we laughed....a winners laugh".

I call it as I see it. Some of you have been waiting for this moment for years now.

They have a lot of patience. After all, they waited 25 years to win against us in their own basketball arena.

Yes ****tard it means just as much to me to beat KU as it has to you guys over the last three years. Most of you ****ers loved to rub it in when KU was beating us. Now that order has been restored KU is "just a basketball school" and K State fans shouldn't be thrilled with beating their in state rival. And dude as far as having any complex issues I'm not the one that's been sitting at my computer all day responding to every post directed towards me or my school within minutes. It's a beautiful Saturday night. Get off your computer and find something productive to do. Peace

Same here. And last year, as in '07 many, many more people ( the usual suspects, conspicuously absent today) waited 15 years to tell us all about it.

And just like you, I was here. Good luck finding this thread next year.
