KSU ***The Official EMAW Repository thread*** - Page 270

I know there are enough of us to participate in this thread, even when our seasons inevitably go to shit.

KSU vs Western Illinois today, tip-off at 3:00 pm.

One thing I noticed near the end of the game on Friday night - we had 5 true freshman on the court, and still played sound basketball. None of them were scrub walk-ons either. While I don't think we will make a serious run at anything this year, the foundation is being laid for a solid program in the future.

Good game. Need a run here to get squared away.

And going back through some stuff, Bramlage is not the building that was presented in the original discussion. Not even close. It was supposed to be round and have two levels. Limestone on the outside. And was supposed to hold 16k.

Ahearn is in use today because they made the requisite upgrades to the facility to allow up to 6500 fans to watch a game. But even when I was a kid it was a raised floor over dirt. You could look up to the ceiling from the outer concourse and see the dirt in in the air above the scoreboard. I had a lot of fun there.

Great stuff man. I love talking about history, esp alt history that never was. I’m weird like that.

You’re weird in a lot of ways. And I’m not even trying to be mean with that.

After the 94 strike they asked Griffey about what coulda been. He said “I picked a bad year to have a great year”. (I think it was him, I’m a few years from 50 so my memory gets worse as time goes on)

Anyway the point is: this is a great year to have a great year. Some team is making Houston this year that is a head scratcher. Maybe two. Maybe three? I like AZ and Tenn but I don’t love them. Everyone else goes into the ping pong basket, nba Lotto style

How can it be a jump ball when all he has a hold of is his back?

I completely agree here. I think in this conference if you finish 4th you’ll still get a great seed. And that gives you a pretty decent chance to survive and advance.

Or get knocked off by LaSalle. (Thanks Bruce)

Massoud was late getting to the arc to set up the pick. Quis had to go to the hoop a little late.

Is Hilton still a bitch to play at?

For K-State it has always been pretty tough.
