Yeah, just give em both free throws!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
-says the ISU crowd

why is he shooting without players on the box? it wasn't a T

Can't call a foul on Spradling there.

Dumb.

Someone needs to step up and hit a big 3 for K-State.

God the ISU crowd makes me LMAO

***Official New New New EMAW Repository thread***
 

How the **** wasn that a foul?

Iowa State left the door open, shame K-State couldn't take advantage.

Uh Ejim with the arm grab/block.

the 3pt "block" that was all forearm?

These last two games are "Wooly-esque". I can hear he same noise we heard after YEAR 6 of Wooly: "Bruooly is so close", and we'll keep this loser based on that like Weef kept Wooly.

Wait a minute. I heard Weber was a damn good coach.

Great Haul for the Cat's in Football recruiting. #47 in Rivals in no great shakes, but we definitely filled some needs. Have to address DE, QB and HS OT's in next years class. Very excited for 2014 season. I think we be very competitive in the B12 this upcoming season.

EMAW!

So have any EMAWs been following Furious Frank's performance over in South Carolina? If not, you should. Go pull up the SEC standings. Go for it.

Believe it or not, I do keep tabs on him. Last place in the SEC. Ugh.

I stopped caring the day he left Manhattan I have NO animosity for the guy. Loved him while he was at KSU. I just don't give a shit what he does or is doing right now. It has no effect on K-State.

But it shows that he's not a very good coach. Like you all once believed.

LMAO

He was a great coach while he was here. Yep, he's slumming it up at SCU, but that doesn't change the fact that he was a successful coach while at KSU.

I remember well when he hired Martin after Huggs left and all the phogtards, specifically the guy who now runs "The Shiver" who at the time was doing a Saturday show on 610, saying KSU "should/could have had Mark Fox". Mark Fox... LMAO

Sure, Frank was a little rough around the edges when KSU hired him. But he grew into the job well.

PB is of the mind that you found quite the diamond in the rough with Weber.

He was a good coach when he was here in Manhattan. That's good enough for me.

Hell of a win today, the week off did them some good.

See you fellas Monday night. Should be an awesome game.

As of today, your comment is actually quite supportive of that theory.

HI!

:ksu::ksu::ksu::ksu::ksu::ksu::ksu::ksu:

EMAW!

tee hee!

"Frank would've won by 25 last night!" _ emaw

"KU would have won last night, but they didn't try". /rawkchawk

WARM UP THE BLU-RAY PRINTER!

I think at this point the only way Bruce can win over the fans and get their undying devotion would be to take a no-hope job at, say, Auburn.

I liked Frank because he was likeable. I also liked Wooldridge, but he was a terrible coach.

Jury is still out on Bruth's coaching, but I don't like him.

How do you still have me in your signature? It's been 3 years!

I just don't get some of our fans.........

because I have it turned off and never see it. be nice and maybe I'll remove it, bitch like last time and it might stay! :evil:

in what regard?

The hate for Bruce Weber.

All he has done is won a Conf Championship (our 1st since '77, when many projected they would finish 5th -7th), brought in great young talent like Foster and Iwundu, and beat ku in Bramlage. What is there to dislike? The fact that he struggled early this year starting 2 frosh and having 9 healthy scholarship players? The fact that he lost to to top 25 teams like UT, ISU and a hot WVU team on the road? The early exit in the Tourney last year against a team that went on to the Sweet 16? Or, is it that he isn't Frank Martin, not even remotely a sexy name coach and that is enough to instill the venom?

Agreed. I'm still guarded about the long term, but not sure how anyone could argue about the results thus far. And as you said, with Foster/Iwundu/Thomas (he'll get better), he's established a pretty solid foundation for the next few years.

Oh, and the tourney game last season.....I put a very big chunk of that on Angel. He played his worst game of the season, dogged it really, and then transfers soon after?

You must be joking. Angel "dogged" it in that game? Without him the comeback from down 20 never happens. Our coach, you know, the brilliant mind, allowed his team to take the floor seemingly unprepared to take the floor. Then, with the season hanging in the balance chose to watch the last 0:07 of the game as a bystander. Weber takes all the blame for that performance.

Regarding Angel and the La Salle Game
 

In 36 minutes of play, Angel was 0-6, 4 fouls, 3 turnovers, 4 assists and 2 steals, including a massive wtf shot at the end of the game. The only thing he was key in was helping the Cat's lose the game. It was one of his worst games of the year.

Now, Beyond the awful first half play,the Cat's offensive play in the final 4:30 of that game was deplorable. Our shot selection couldn't have been worse, and I blame a significant part of that on Bruce. We should have immediately called a TO after Wright missed that FT with 9.6 left on the clock. I would have set up a play to either get Rodney or Shane a shot. Having the ball in Angel's hands to take the last shot was beyond stupid. IMO, that wasn't what Bruce wanted, it's what Angel wanted. Again, Bruce mismanaged the time on that last possession, but Angel drove straight into an area with 3 players waiting for him. Had he crossed half court and looked back, he would have seen Southwell open between half court and the 3 pt Arc, where Shane could have either driven to the bucket, or pulled up for a J in the final 5-6 seconds. Instead, Angel dribbles the final seconds into vast nothingness.

it's that I don't like HIM. Period. The way he stands by usually on the sideline with no energy, slack jawed, the sound of his voice. I don't have to like him to like KSU basketball.

I met Frank a couple of times, and his off-the-court persona was VERY different, and he was a very likeable guy. Bruth isn't Frank, nor does he have to be. He just has to not be Bruth.

And yes, the inability to call a timeout against LaSalle sure didn't help matters.

:spock:

I don't see what the issue is?

I'm differentiating between the person and the coach.

Asbury: Poor Coach, Unlikable Guy
Wooldridge: Poor Coach, Likable guy
Frank: Better than Average Coach, Likable Guy
Weber: Decent coach (so far, time will tell), Unlikable guy

The unlikable guy part is what I don't get. Have you met Bruce? It doesn't sound like it. You don't like the way he sounds, or the way he looks with his mouth open, or the fact that his demeanor is more calm than Frank. I couldn't give a shit less what he looks or sounds like as long as he wins - and he is winning. As far as a genuinely nice guy, Bruce is one of them. He isn't going to be the engaging story teller, or the outgoing personality like Frank. That's not who he is. He's just a nice, loyal guy, who fits into the Manhattan community perfectly. I wasn't initially enamored with the Weber hire, but I like what I see on the court, and I like how it's about the TEAM and not about him (see: Martin, Frank for the opposite of my last line).

Frank: better than average??? Lulz, go ask the Cocks about that one.

Only enough to shake his hand whenwe took a tour of the basketball facility, and that he trots right past me at every football game. But I never met Wooly or Asbury either.

The timeout on a final possession isn't limited to that play. It's his philosophy that the chances to score without calling a TO and giving defense a chance to adjust are higher than calling a set play from a TO. See the end of regulation Monday.

I dislike his claim that he was calling for a timeout the whole time to be more aggravating. If that's your philosophy, fine, but don't claim you tried taking one when we all saw you standing there.

I get that, and I agree that he has some end of game issues that are a bit irritating to me personally, which are philosophical differences. But that's no different than Frank. Tactically, Frank was one of the worst Head Coaches I have ever seen. Watching a Frank Martin offense was, at times, like watching a monkey **** a football.

Actually, he was calling for a TO, but he started calling for it with just under 2 seconds left, when he realized that Angel was going to be trapped on the baseline.

Yup, don't confuse trying to call a timeout when the play broke down with calling it to set one up. And agreed, Bruce is light years better as a game day coach than Frank. Which is why it puzzles me that he doesn't set up a play at the end of games, because his set plays from timeouts succeed at a pretty high rate.

Yep. We were ****ed either way. If he get's the timeout, there's probably 1.5 seconds left with the ball under the basket. Really, at that point, our chances were no better than Angel's BS shot from the baseline. Worst case, Bruce should have called the TO once Angel got the ball across the timeline (6.5 seconds left), and we would have had time to run a play.

I was beyond livid that he just stood there watching that ****ing train wreck happen.

I've been proven wrong on the Bruce hire. No doubt about that.

Maybe we should return the convo to the epic butthurt from our li'l bro's in Lawrence over "DVD's, T-shirts, and court storming".

The flagship domination continues.

which is a wee bit late, and he implied he was calling for a TO the entire possession, which was at best disingenuous.

exactly. THAT is when he should have called the TO.

SSDD. They never tire of the same old argument. Have you seen the video of KU fans storming the court after the Ohio St. game though? THAT was epic.

I don't get that. First I don't understand why so many fans were at AFH watching a basketball game on TV in the first place.....but you're not comparing winning a Final Four game to beating Kansas at home for the 3rd time in 7 years?

Do K-State fans like KK?

I'm listening to him on the radio talking about Michael Sam, and I don't understand.his appeal.

He's the "best in the biz" - but his son is a dork.

I'm going to have to make a coat of arms pertaining to the High Protectors of The Court Storm.

KU fans keep him tops on the airwaves. Except when they try organizing boycotts of his show.

You enjoy his show, li'l smokey. It's ok to admit it here.

That would be awesome.

No, I really don't. I turned on 810 because 610 has high school basketball on.

Yes, we know. NOBODY listens to KK. Especially KU fans. That's why hes dominated the market for 15 years.

Like i said, this is a safe place. Nobody is going to judge you in this thread.

Please tell us how you feel about court storming, DVD's, commemorative T-shirts and agribusiness.

I enjoy Petro on occasion, but that's about all I listen to on 810.

And I've said from the second it happened that it was an awesome game for K-State and their fans. :shrug:

Listening to KK and his puppet Clingskale (no idea how to spell his name) talk about their golf game does not interest me. And don't forget about "Teh Racin Boys".

I don't know how they break down radio ratings, but I'd guess the younger listeners, (me), enjoy 610 more than most stuff on 810.

For a guy who didn't listen, you sure know a lot about 810.

There was a time when I listened to 810 only. You sure seem hell bent on causing some sort of argument.

Great for our ego

pathetic

embarrassing

No opinion

Pointing out (again) li'l smokey, that for a guy who does not listen to 810 you have some insight to the 810 programming scene. It's not new. Most Jhawk fans listen to him just like you. They deny it until hope says something outrageous.

I don't think it was great for the hawk ego. It definitely upset the great majority. Thats why the "High Protectors of the Court Storm" get so upset when it happens. I can understand that. KU fans have circled this game on their calendar at the start of the season and marked it as a win. It's obvious they take this rivalry way more seriously than KSU. Self sees the name "K-State" on the jersey and he knows he his team has to be up for the game.

It's just what we deal with as the flagship university in the state.

Like you, I dont really care for the shirts or the DVD's. But we have a lot of shirt tucking fans who live for them. Eh... So be it. If it makes bitches out of KU fans, well that's just a bonus.

I can't really speak for the 250,000 alums and all the other fans of KU. You would be a much better source for the pulse of what they think. I can only say I love getting the court stormed when we lose.

Lol wut?

WANT

LMAO

I wish I could actually get one of those......

Sorry. "Hope" should have been "he".

I'm glad you see it that way. You seem to lack the inferiority complex of your fellow hox.
Good on you.

Dat shirt....would be worth 30 pages on a certain message board.

So, am I correct when I heard that we had a 3 point lead, Baylor missed a shot, rebounded kicked out to HairSlip and he drained a tying three at the buzzer in regulation?
Who left HairSLIP open for this three? Bruce you ****ing ass monkey.

Yep.

Tough to win on the road in the Big 12.

Fun factoid: Self has won 65% of his road conf games at Kansas. The only school with a better home record is Texas at 69%.

It was a horrible set of possessions. Baylor missed like three shots and pretty much lucked out to get it to OT.
