No. Just a coincidence.

Their president just axed one of their players that was on diversion. The president used the AD to deliver the message....I guess...but, everyone is freaking out Tang is going to leave because the president of the university 'overstepped his boundaries' and axed the player.

From an outsider's perspective, the fans needs to chill....it's one player.

I realize that there was a lot more going on with the Frank Martin situation than the Jamar Samuels incident - the behind the scenes power brokers didn’t like his style and wanted him gone - but having already seen a winning coach that we liked bolt because of BS interference of varying sorts, it shouldn’t be all that surprising to see some concern coming out of EMAWland.

Ah. Makes sense. PTSD from the Martinstein situation. To be fair, that's understandable.

Tomlin was one of the biggest NBA prospects in the Big 12 and in K-State history

Pick yourself up and dust yourself off. It's one player.

Welcome to losing a top prospect to BS.

Welcome to running with the big boys.

Kstate and Aggies is not a lateral move lol Ksu was paying Klein 825k Aggies is a way better job.

I mean… define “better job”

It’s certainly better pay. ESPN dollars to SEC is just hard to turn down. I am a K-Stater and don’t begrudge anyone getting a 2-3x pay raise. Ultimately it’s a business and foolish to turn down so much more money. And all that money means you have more money to buy players. Better in terms of ESPN money for sure.

But the “better job” part - go to A&M, a mediocre program and go 5-7, never any chance for a title. At least at K-State there is a pathway to league contention every year.

KSU won't be able to compete in the NIL market, and is now in a lesser conference.

It is what it is. I will enjoy it when they do well, but the national stage is all but snuffed out at this point in football.

My OU friends are bragging about all the money the SEC will bring, and I chuckle because that conference is going to make them their bitch just like it did with AtM and Missouri (for years).

I just want my teams to be competitive and win some games. I guess old age makes a person not give a **** about that level anymore.

$825K in Mancrappin is like $3.2MM in Texas.

If you'll excuse me I have to go clean up.

If I’m Klein, I probably try to dominate the big 12 and leverage that into a HC position. There is a real chance the SEC kicks his face in, perhaps through no fault of his own, and he fades into obscurity.

Counter point, once you're in the SEC coaching carousel, you stick around for a bit. All he has to do is take A&M to slightly above average, and he'll be good

Or be like Bienemy and get your face kicked in all year long and the baby goes out with the bathwater.

I’d really hate to lose Tang doe to an overreaching UP.

Anyone who thinks that's a lateral move is a ****ing moron

I am slightly more calm today. It ultimately doesn't mean diddly, but he's saying the right things

Tang is a legit good human and what any university should want in a coach. I don’t want ksu to succeed but I can’t dislike the guy at all

In terms of resources and pay, Aggie is a much better job.

Downside is Aggie thinks they are the bride when they are actually the hunchback. Winning 7-8 in Manhattan allows you to coast forever.

The grodejars think they should be champions. Klein will need to cash in quickly before they get all stupid again.

Should take about … 8 games. And a loss to Texas.

Cats just pushed #9 Baylor to overtime at home. Just started OT. Check it.

Uphill battle in OT.

Big 3! And one!

65-64 Qatz.

FT good

66-64 cats

Up 4 00:06 to play

Incredible win! What a finish.

Victory! Cats needed that.

13-4 (3-1)

9-0 run in the final minute

That’s a nice rebound after a tough loss at Tech on Saturday.

This one will come in handy at the end of the year for KU

Yea, that loss was tough. Lead for 90% of the game and give up a 3 point play @ 00:30 to fall behind. That’s the kind of loss that can cause a spiral.

Hats off to the coaches for getting them to regroup quickly.

What a ****ing blast that was! One of the funnest games I’ve been to in a long time. Great win!

GO CATS!

Qatz man. This ****ing conference is just one hammer after another. Could have had a huge letdown after Baylor, but came back to win late over Okie State.

Pissing that game away against Tech stings more and more

Nice win, Cats. Tried 87 times to give it away, but played tough and hung on. Nicely done.

What a W! We needed that…badly!

GO CATS!!!

This league is insane.

Haven’t watched much of KU this season. It’s so strange that with NIL/roster turnover, I don’t even know the names of the players on their roster.

Good to see Self looking really healthy. Whatever was ailing him, I hope he’s doing well. And, in his defense, when he lost his mind over a few calls, he was correct. Cats got some home cooking. I’ll take it.

Good way to break a losing streak.

Holy F! Peeking into the Beaker thread. I can’t believe those pussies are bitching about refs and no calls. Talk about a laughable topic when you generally have to play 5 on 8 whenever you play the hauks. What a bunch of bitches

Cats are 11-0 in OT under Tang? Holy ****.

Best beat Tang in regulation if you want to win.

Yeah, I’ve laughed for years at KU bitching about refs. It’s the equivalent to Patriots fans complaining about refs.

4 phantom fouls and one incorrect out of bounds call in the course of a minute turned that game with 4 minutes to go in regulation. You all know what happened there.

Of course. It's why I don't apologize for getting any call at AFH.

ROFL

Enjoy the rest of your season. I'm sure it will be thrilling to play in the NIT again.

Cope harder, and keep making those excuses

KU fan hates himself and the world.

Cope harder? You guys didn't even post in this thread for two weeks before this game. LMAO

You'll go back to ignoring this NIT team next game.

Go cry in the KU thread.

It’s just the few super vocal weirdos. KU didn’t lose because of officiating. They had double digit lead, forced 17 TO’s, and missed the biggest FT in the game. They looked out of gas.

I would think you guys would enjoy the fact that this thread is actually active now for the first time in weeks.

Gosh, I guess we aren’t real fans. This team gets 5 more wins and they’ll be in the NCAA tourney.

Watch for my next post. It might be two weeks from now.

We do. Now shuffle your ass off to your own thread and let tonight's winners celebrate without your sad excuses.

I enjoy it when it’s not active.

Real fans? No, I'd just call you realistic fans. You know what this team is and are giving them as much attention as they deserve.

Only way KSU realistically gets in the tournament this year is if they go and beat KU in AFH. Good luck with going 5 on 8 in that one.

I don’t post on K-State threads in game on a Chiefs site. You ****ing weirdos are the only ones that feel the need to jerk it to GDT’s on a Pro Football site.

And by the way, your shit bag team just dropped one to a “NIT Team” that fumble ****ed their way to 16 turnovers and still found a way to win. Deal with that.

The current KU basketball thread was started last April and has over 3,000 posts in it, and not one of them from this K-State fan. Now, if you’d like, I can change that and go disrespectfully crow in that thread or I can stay in my lane here. Getting the picture?

You've never posted during a KSU game on this website, huh? You'll forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical on that one.

KU has dropped multiple games to teams even worse than KSU already and is still gonna be a #2 seed in the tournament in a month's time in a down year. I think we'll be just fine, thanks.

LMAO... what a butthurt bitch...

Go ahead. Go crow about a meaningless February game in a lost KSU season in the KU thread. I wonder how it will work out.

In game? No. Post game? Yes - a couple times this year.

So you’re not getting the picture…

I had to go read that last page.

“They’re going to storm the court”!!

“There is not a more punchable fanbase than KSU”.

The CP Phogistanian collective.

I get why they’re lashing out. Losing 15 straight to your Daddy in FB and now back-to-back to us in The Octagon in MBB. Tough times…

Nice conference win, kstate. Keep it up.

I’ll give KSU credit for that much. They actually do have conference wins this season. Some teams aren’t so fortunate to even have one.

Damn. There’s a few really mad ku fans in this thread after the loss.

lol. Deflecting to a team that you’ve repeatedly said was irrelevant. We still still live in your head. Rent free.

How is that deflecting?

You just left yourself open there and I had to take the shot. 0-9 and counting.

Damn bro. lol. Wasn’t even taking shit. You’re so mad. Well done kstate. Keep it up.

Hard to talk shit when you have no ammunition.

Ok grandpa. Sleep it off. Nice job kstate.

Grandpa?

Self was really upset in the post game presser.

Called out a couple of the fouls. One of them was the Dickenson foul on Perry on a double team. Don’t blame him there. That was a bad call.

Also, subbed in the bench players out of fear of a court storming.

The refs were total shit. They missed a pretty fair chunk of calls for your guys too.

I didn't stick around to watch. Did they storm the court? I saw Tang pleading with them not to do it.

You sound like beta Buffalo, Baltimore, Miami, <insert team we beat> fans.

You’re better than this. Own the loss like everyone else. You aren’t special.

Oh KU earned that loss. It was a spectacle of ****ery until Perry made some key plays down the stretch.

I'm not blaming the loss on the refs, but it doesn't change the fact that they were shit. And that has nothing to do with KU playing poorly enough to earn that L.

Nah, he got them to stop.

And I expect Self was more angry about how bad KU played and less about the refs. That kind of ref ball down the stretch is nothing he hasn’t experienced loads of times before in a conference road game. The issue was letting it get to that point.

Still feels good, Man!

Let’s Go Cats!!!!
