Wichita State media love thread

To all those "experts" who think that 3G is surely out the door next year with a $3-4 million offer somewhere else, I ask, "What school THAT WILL HAVE AN OPENING THIS OFFSEASON will offer Gregg that kind of money?" Wake Forest can't pay that. Boston College can't pay that. Washington State can't pay that. Besides, all of those programs are horrible, so Gregg won't go there. Short of a blueblood school in the southeast part of the country losing a coach to retirement or the NBA, I don't see it happening.

Maybe we are too sensitive? I think the author of the Washington Post article was simply asking the question; will be leave or stay? It is a reasonable question in my view and one that would be asked of almost every coach in America with the same situation. Question were raised recently regarding Calipari and even Self going to the NBA for starters.

Oh, and it seems lots of Shockers fans have been asking that too. But for now, I think we are all concentrated on Friday and hopefully then Sunday.

My sources tell me that Wake will make a run at our coach, and they can afford the 3M - 4M. Their donors are desperate to get them back to where they were, and are willing to throw serious money around to get the coach to get them back.

That being said, the program is in complete shambles, the AD is hated by everyone, so why would our coach start from scratch?

Also, which of those schools is going to draw 10,500 to a game against William and Mary in early December.

Didn't their AD fire Dino Gaudio after several moderately successful seasons so that he could hire his buddy who was about to be fired by Colorado for being terrible at his job. It will take institution wide changes, and not just a new AD, plus several years in purgatory to reestablish themselves as a program that can actually get someone good. Right now they look more like the type of program that's gonna be shot down by anyone worth while. We'll see if they go the right way and find an up and comer with sustained success, or if they throw huge amounts of money at someone that just finished a single good season preceded by years of mediocrity. My guess is the latter. It's almost always the latter.

Why would you leave a situation where you have 2 of the best point guards in the nation returning the next 2 seasons and one of the best lock down defenders for one more season.No rebuilding to do. Shore up the 4 and 5 position and the bcs conferences and gonna be really tired of us really soon....

Obama picking WSU over UK makes our fans very happy.

Yeah, it's been posted but it's 11 lashes for a Cle repost. Be careful with the Baker stories.

It's nice to know you are a superstitious bunch.

I'm sure K-State fans are feeling the same way with him picking UK over them.

He doesn't have WSU winning it so that actually bolds well for you.

Did I hear that KSR (Kentucky Sports Radio, I think?) is giving away tickets to the WSU, UK game?

That's an impressive amount of confidence for an 8/9 match-up.

No offense @Slam21 (And let me say, I appreciate any opposing fan who can go to an opponent's board and be respectful, so thank you), but things like that make me want to root harder for KSU. But I guess if UK doesn't make it to Sunday, some lucky fan will either be able to drive to St. Louis and sell them or have a souvenir that doubles as a painful reminder of a disappointing season.
