OK, I've reached my limit. Davis is wrong to let his political beliefs interfere with his polling duties but I've had enough of our posters interjecting their beliefs into this thread. I know plenty of brainwashed right-wing morons to go along with the brainwashed left-wingers. Stop it already.

And pls. don't cite top 50 or top 100 wins or losses. Good mid-majors can't get games--even roadies most of the time--with good teams.Steve Lappas tells story about getting Manhattan job when Jaspers were 1-27. Had more than 100 messages from coaches, 'hey let's play.'Three years later, after they'd won 24 games, "no one would return my phone call." Sums it up nicely...Feinstein out. Gotta get some sleep.

Originally posted by 1972Shocker View PostMy guess is Seth Davis probably doesn't even have good understanding of what the Koch Brothers politics are nor does he probably have a clue exactly how much Koch money has contributed to Wichita State vs other academic institituions and other charitable endeavors. All he knows is that the Koch Brothers are worth a sh$t ton of money and the Koch name is on our arena. He probably assumes, like many others do as well, that Koch money is funding 95% of our athletic budget and paid for 100% of the Roundhouse Rennaisssance. I'm pretty sure that is not even close to accurate. Heck has David Koch ever even attended a WSU basketball game?
Seth also knows that in the circles he runs in that he can gain cool points by bashing the dastardly Koch Brothers even though he probably has no clue as to what he is talking about or exactly why they are such evil people. But he does have a podium to shout from so that right there makes him credible I guess.
Not sure I would get too worked up about it. It is what it is. Unfortunately, we tend to give guys like Seth Davis and Jerry Palm exactly what they want. Attention and to be noticed and to be responded to in any way, shape or form as long as they can count it.I won't tolerate rude behavior

Originally posted by Woodrow View PostI'm sure he knows who the Kochs are and their political leanings. Seth's dad is Lanny Davis who was a special counselor for President Bill Clinton and a huge Hillary supporter. Based upon his tweets I am sure he is biased and the WSU link with the Kochs has some influence.

Originally posted by Hurley View PostWell said. Do your friggin job, which has nothing to do with your personal political beliefs. I may think Baylor University is trash for all the terrible things the school has been involved in over the last decade, but that CANNOT get in the way of whether or not I think Baylor has a good basketball team and bias my top 25 vote. One has NOTHING to do with the other.
Absolute garbage that Seth Davis would tweet that about WSU and Koch. Brainwashed left-wing morons who believe everything they read from biased media with political axes to grind.
