        I dunno. I just saw lots of dudes saying it in music videos back in the 90s so I thought I would sound cool if I used it. Did it work?

                    A wonderful story for a wonderful supporter of Valley ball and Wichita State.

                        I forget, did he immediately follow Spoonhour or was there another MVC voice in between?

                          I thought Mark did a very nice job on the WSU-UNI game. Giving both programs, coaches and individual players plenty of love. I like him so much better with Hollenberg or even Heartl than I do with Holtus.

                          Actually, Mark is a pretty sharp dude. He found a need outside the P-5 conferences and he is doing a nice job filling that need and probably making a pretty decent living doing something he loves which means he doesn't have a job. Lucky bastard!

                            Here is where I eat my hat. Mark Adams is indeed awesome. Mark stood up for Wichita State on twitter. Here is his series of tweets this morning:

                            Reading STL Post Dispatch that UK 31-0 is 1st undefeated reg season since 1975-76 Indiana. NO WICHITA ST DID IT LAST SEASON. #notacceptable


                            Mark Adams @EnthusiAdams · 3h 3 hours ago
                            "First unbeaten in a major conference" BS! This isn't football. The Valley has a 108 year history. Top 10 RPI, 4 NCAA titles, 17 Final 4's


                            Mark Adams @EnthusiAdams · 3h 3 hours ago
                            I respect what Kentucky has done. Others need to respect Wichita State, St Joe's, UNLV, Indiana State! This is an insult to true hoops fans!


                            Mark Adams @EnthusiAdams · 3h 3 hours ago
                            I call on all followers to respectfully contact all media outlets, set record straight. Those historic teams deserve respect! AP started it.



                            Mark Adams @EnthusiAdams · 2h 2 hours ago
                            We appreciate @SportsCenter @AP. We simply ask you to recognize all great undefeated teams in college basketball. UNDEFEATED IS MAJOR! Thx!




                            Mr Adams - Please accept my humblest apologizes.

                              It is nice to have at least one guy like Adams to help balance the scales.
                              From the FSU/football perspective, Adams is a lot like Danny Kannell. Kannell's basically employed by ESPN to troll SEC fans, since it seems like 90% of the other ESPN analysts are there to publicly felate the SEC.

                              Kannell's very pro-FSU and very anti-SEC (or at least he comes off as very anti-SEC because everyone else is SO pro-SEC). I appreciate his contribution on ESPN as somewhat balancing the perspective, the same way I appreciate Adams for doing the same thing, but I don't personally have any more interest in watching Kannell than I do the Alabama radio troll. I know he's there, doing his thing, and I appreciate his contribution within the biased system, but I'm not listening to him.

                              ESPN has a two-pronged analytical strategy that basically amounts to: tear you down to make you angry, tell you you're pretty to make you happy. And they will employ people to do both of those things at the same time. Some people watch because they're told they're pretty, some people watch because they're so angry you're calling them ugly -- which seems insane, but they do it. And the more people they have watching, the more people they're going to employ to do both of those things. Ultimately we don't have as many people, so they have a lot more guys who's job is to tell everyone else we're ugly so that they can simultaneously tell the fans of the "big conference" teams, who out number us, that they're prettier in comparison. And then they'll find someone else to come on and tell them that they're ugly, too.

                              When everyone is biased, absolutely, we have to have someone out there that's going to be biased in our favor. But I'd prefer if we just had less bias and more intelligent debate in general.

                              Given that we're saddled with the rest of the biased talking heads, I like that we have Adams to tell us we're pretty too.

                              I have similar feelings on most politicians. The pretty/ugly thing is a very effective way of manipulating people on any subject.
