Kevin Saal Not Hot Seat

[Kung Wu]

I was at that game with the old guy, and I was fine playing along for him. When I realized they were still doing at the KSU game, I was mortified! Honestly it’s more embarrassing to me than the Umkc loss.

This is how I felt. As a one time favor to a long term fan, sure let's do it for fun. But it was retired long ago for a reason.

Two games ago a young lady approached my wife and I and asked if we would like to be fans of the game. My wife shot daggers at me since she hates anything that brings attention to he. She may be in the witness protection program for all I know but the woman hates it when others even wear bright clothing that draws attention to them. So luckily I missed that bullet of maki8ng a horrible cheer. I did thank her later

I’m guessing Saal has made some ‘inroads’ with the heavy hitters…

Chase, Charles and Elizabeth sitting on the front row Saturday night right across from our bench; Chase and family were ‘into’ the game.

Be thankful they retired the kiss cam.

It just needs to be modernized.

Visiting team, bend over and . . .

You thought it would end in what???

Actually, on the opponent's opening possession the crowd cheers . . .

Cover your ears, you've entered
THE CHUCK!

Why do we offer buyout clauses we can't afford to serve? We're structuring long term contracts in an old school manner that we can't afford to move on from. Hiring coaches is an educated guess at best, and a crapshoot most of the time. We have to structure contracts assuming this reality.

[Shocktoberfest]

Doesn't it now make more sense to just have a player/coach? Scrap the whole coaching staff and designate the most appropriate senior as HC. Then use all the rest of the funds to buy our team. Simple. Some school is gonna try this eventually.

Start with, from what I can tell, I think KS has done a good job (2 exceptions) to this point.

1. KS absolutely had to fire IB. Don’t care what others say, he needed to go. He ran on GM’s coattails and his players long enough-everything was about to implode, imo. (Not going to get into an argument with someone on this).
2. KS’s Alma Mater, K State, had an incredible first year with Tang…soon on their way to an elite 8.
3. Baylor wins a natty a couple years earlier.
4. KS naturally thinks that style is the right formula for championships. (Drew/Tang).
5. Abmas makes Mills look like a coaching genius. Perhaps if Mills gets hired away from ORU, Abmas comes with him. (Abma$ ultimately goes to Texa$).
5. KS hires Mills, thinking he gets Tang 2.0
6. 1.5 years at WSU (and Tang 2.5 years at KSU), neither can duplicate Baylor’s success because to win, you need Baylor-type talent…none of which either school will get.
7. Now we are stuck. Bad hire, really bad. Not to mention the other exception mentioned above-which would be the Women’s HC. (You mean to tell me there isn’t some Kansas HS girl who can shoot, who could play for that team?)

Two bad hires, that unless daddy warbucks walks in the door, we are stuck with. Nicely done, KS.

1 did not need to be done when it did. ADKS waits a year and we are in a MUCH better position than we are now

Well reality (like getting blown out by UTSA and UMKC) disagrees with you
