Re: Portal 2024

The NIL should never have been permitted in college sports. A college education and a nice stipend should have sufficed. My post, about players wearing jerseys with the name of their employer on the jersey, was made tongue in cheek. But, by golly, it is only right. If the owner of a car dealership p...

Re: Portal 2024

I have a novel idea. Those players, who have left a school in order to get a bigger payday at another school, should don a jersey with a dollar sign on the front instead of the school logo. What is better, the player should have the name of the donor emblazoned across his chest. Let’s just be hones...

Re: Portal 2024

I liked supporting the under dog against the blue blood cheaters. What is a blue blood if not they who dared to cheat the system and create monopoly? I’ll take a Dean, Barry, Kam and Xavier winning a championship and whipping Kentucky over a bought championship any day.

Re: Portal 2024

As I argued for years on G&G and on this basketball forum, balance is sanity, imbalance is insanity. College sports are just a symptom of what is going on in this country. Everything must be balanced by controls pure and simple. I don’t care if it’s religion, money, guns, sports, government, speech,...

a lot of this discussion, for me at least, revolves around fairness and class. i believe weber was treated poorly from the get-go but was terminated for good reason. both things can be true. and revisiting history is not wrong until the facts are revised to fit the narrative.
Well stated

Re: I want Coach Tang to stay. I think the world of him.

I’m quite aware of Weber’s unimpressive over all record at Kansas State. I can make the argument that many good coaches would have not fared much better and some not as well IF they faced the exact same set of circumstances. 1. No recruitment cheating 2. No transfer portal 3. Multiple years of a tr...

Re: I want Coach Tang to stay. I think the world of him.

Weber coached one year with the transfer portal and the transfer portal came within a hair of saving his job. It would have saved his job if Covid had not depleted the team for the first four conference games . When you play by the rules, and you’re recruiting to Kansas State without a transfer por...

Re: I want Coach Tang to stay. I think the world of him.

mindless comments about a coach who actually won championships here always make me chuckle. *and lost quite a bit of games too. Gotta admit the good with the bad. It's not like it was all cherries and roses year after year. Weber coached one year with the transfer portal and the transfer portal cam...

Re: I want Coach Tang to stay. I think the world of him.

I like Weber, it’s just in fun. You have to admit the play hard chart was certainly different. But it was his thing and he stuck by it. weber brought "play hard" from purdue. fitz, kurtz and the other low thinkers made hey with it. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fk8ZeTJXoAEofKl?format=jpg&name=4096x40...
