Wichita State media love thread

He isn't insane.... Kenpom would have us as a three seed. Win this week and we will get a one seed.

Too bad the committee doesn't use Kenpom.

Is this how he treated Gonzaga the last few years? The loser, wish he would come to town. Would love to see students throw credit cards at him....fake ones of course.

Gooblieb is a bigger hack than Billy Packer. Now, that's saying something.

Ol' Fudge!

Oh, how he is not missed.

Gottlieb is twisting his words now to make sure he still has a fallback in April. Back in December it was "Wichita State is definitely not a Top 10 caliber team." Now it's "Wichita State DESERVES a 3 seed." So when we win the whole f'n thing and Gottlieb gets proven wrong he's just going to say "I didn't say there weren't good, I just said they didn't have a good resume." The fact that he's switched to making sure he covers his bases at least means that he knows Wichita State is legit.

Gottlieb is one wierd dude. He tends to use only "I think" as fact. Back in 2006, right after we beat Tennessee, Gottlieb said, "I am not impressed with WSU's win over Tennessee. I don't think Tennessee is that good."

It is impossible to discuss things with some people because just as you lay a fact right in front of them, they counter it with "well, I think..."

Not a damn thing you can do about it.

So back to the Media love part of this thread -- this article reads like pure poetry -- http://www.midmajormadness.com/2014/...t-cotton-early

Love this line: When Balentine stops, Tekele Cotton's arms surround him, moving up and down like some sadistic obstacle at a mini-golf course.

I think WSU fans are possibly the best fan base in the nation when it comes to dealing with people like Gotleib. We have to deal ku/ksu fans on a daily basis who think just like him. And personally with those comparisons he made of us to ku during that rant and how wsu amounts to nothing,I think he's just someone that hates change perhaps? There's only 1 school in Kansas that plays d1 ball in his mind.WSU'S basketball tradition isnt THAT bad.. The program just took the entire decade of the 90s off and has just been reasserting itself the past 14 years. The best thing that could happen to WSU after it's all said and done is finding a more respected conference.

The most telling thing I could add is that if I passed Gottlieb on the sidewalk, I wouldn't even know who he was.

He's the one with his pants on backwards.

For me, having to deal with the bull Schmidt from KU and KSU fans makes me less tolerant of crap from others - b/c I'm full up!

If you pass gottlieb on the sidewalk then you better check your pockets.

[Overtime]

As I recall, years ago, when Gotleib was playing point guard for O St under Eddie Sutton.....they played us here. We were not very good and they were highly rated, but we upset them. Don't think that would play into his opinion but.......

[Shox21]

I get the feeling that DG feels that no team outside of the six major conferences should EVER be in the top 5. I'm just glad that he only holds 1 vote.

[Heinro]

I got my pay back with Gotlieb last year. Before the game against Gonzaga he tweeted Gonzaga only had a bad shooting game because they had been off for 12 days, I retweeted him that we had been off for 13 and he doesn't acknowledge that it may have effected our shooting versus Pitt. After beating Gonzaga, he was at the team hotel. I walked up to him and all I said was, 13 days off certainly must have effected our shooting.

Espn's Sport Center's top 10 of the plays just came on and in the intro they showed T. Cotton's dunk at Ill. St.

When a 6'2" guy posterizes a 6'9" guy, and the 6'2" guy gets that level of elevation and hits the jam THAT hard - that dunk is gonna get some play.
