K-State Basketball
K-State takes on Texas in Manhattan tonight. Peter has the preview over at Burnt Orange Nation, and it would be fair to say Peter has a pretty damn good read on K-State's personnel this year.
Apparently practice has been much better since the Oklahoma game on Saturday. It sure is good to hear that we haven't had players running stairs in the practices leading up to a conference game, because that seemed to work really well as preparation for OU.
K-State needs to get better on defense. The Wildcats rank last in the conference in opponent field-goal percentage during conference play.
SB Nation's Bracketology has K-State on the six line this week.

Chris Cosh's move to USF still isn't officially official, but it's about as close as it gets. Haskin muses on that subject, among others.

Oklahoma handed K-State its first conference loss last night in Bramlage.
Big 12 Basketball
Oklahoma kept Texas Tech winless in conference play with a 64-55 victory last night.

Dear Frank
If you are still having to punish college kids by conference play, you need to reexamine your approach to coaching during the noncon.

Exactly.
Martin definitely knows how to coach kids up.
But I think he needs to realize that at a certain point you have to let kids play through their mistakes too. Nobody can be perfect 100% of the time. Nobody. Michael Jordan wasn’t perfect 100% of the time.
So, after the non-con games that he likes to play, I think he needs to take a bit of a different approach in conference games, otherwise I don’t think he will ever win a Big 12 regular season title.
Although, by the way he seems willing to sacrifice conference wins to make a point, I’m not so sure he values conference titles so much.

Again, I bring up my point about maturity
Martin is still immature in some of his coaching aspects—as it compares to other coaches in his level and quality.
I agree, HOWEVER,
if Angel was doing something detrimental to the team (ie not practicing hard, poor attitude, etc) then I have no problem with the benching. I have to assume this was the case.
The short and long term success of this team will be better with Angel fully on board.
I have no problem with the benching...
But tired legs makes for low shooting percentage and defensive struggles. Both of which we experienced against OU.

Fight till Hell freezes over and then fight them on the ice.
I was talking more about his pulling of players in the Baylor game.
But, yeah, we don’t know why Angel was pulled for OU, so I have to give Frank the benefit of the doubt on that one.
Heck, it could have been for grades, and I can’t argue with that at all.
My sig needs updated.
by ChrisP Wildcat on Jan 18, 2012 10:09 AM CST up reply actions
I remember him saying that it wouldn't be fair to Angel or the team if he said why Angel was benched.
Then talked about how if you aren’t buying into the program that can get you benched.
I don’t remember him giving a specific reason for his benching, but regardless, my point remains that I give Frank the benefit of the doubt on that one.

Ah
though I think we decided a couple weeks ago that it was now OK to link to Kellis’s blog (and use his name). His coverage has gotten better and less biased, and he has gotten more scoops than before.
I finally found it
and it wasnt where I thought it was…had to reread your post Anon
for everyone else, here is the link
I agree. I think he did very well.

Spencer Hall gives us the 2012 College Football Do’s and Don’ts
I particularly like the first “Don’t”…
The last "Don't" is also funny
Bill Snyder sighs, and gets no credit for doing this [playing defensive, ball-control oriented offense] for years, but old men are used to seeing their style jacked and presented as “new.”
No wonder we never saw Nino last year

and I dont really like him as a person based on the interacts I’ve had with him. Shane is the same way, but more of a dick than Nino
Don't tell us this!
Nino and Shane aren’t great guys? You lie!!!!
Interesting note re: Shane -
Frank said in his weekly radio show that Shane came back into the huddle after his untimely threes against OU and said he was shaking his head and asking himself why he took those shots.
Part of the learning process.

I agree with him
It does make sense, and I hope he comes to Manhattan. I’m not sold on him being the next head coach, but I wouldn’t object right now.

I agree with you Sean
I think it would be an improvement for our defense compared to what we have had for quite some time.
Venables name always seems to be at the top of a lot of short lists for openings every season, but he has stayed put in OU. I’m trying to figure out if this is because he really thought he would eventually have an opportunity to be the head coach at OU, or if maybe he would RATHER be a D-coordinator than a head coach (and I’m guessing he is making a pretty decent salary there in Norman, and has a lot fewer headaches to deal with than Bobby does).
Or is Venables one of those guys who is not really head coach material? I honestly don’t know, but we have seen several (successful) coordinators go on to become head coaches and have pretty much flopped. They just don’t have the right make up to be a head coach, and are better suited to be a coordinator.

Not sure why that would be an immediate cause for anything to be upset about.
KSU has no limitations towards relationships among staff/faculty/student body. The problem comes in when that relationship has some kind of leverage for one of the parties.
Him sleeping with a student (if that’s what happened) isn’t necessarily a reason for hard feelings to develop.

Pretty sure you can use Bud Light
or any other lighter lager in summer brew. You just can’t use a heavy or extremely flavorful beer or it won’t come out right.
And yes, Pineapple Beer is glorious, but not quite as delicious anymore because they had to switch to Old Milwaukee because they stopped being able to get Old Style at a reasonable price

You must have some very exacting taste buds.
Their beer is nowhere near the same category as Fourloco.
Is it the best thing since sliced bread? No, but it is a good, solid brew. It is enjoyable.

You and me both
self-immolation proceeding.
Until proven otherwise, I think UT stays close to the bottom of the league - I don't know how good Brown is

It's hard to believe how much homework they've done when
it Mark Stoops not Mike… Wrong brother guys!
I think so too, but I don't know what to think about OSU next year, and I reall think WVU is going to be surprised coming and playing big boys
I may be optimistic, but I think TCU (thanks to Patterson’s defensive bent) is going to do better initially in the league than WVU.
I’m really hoping WVU gets a home game for their first Big 12 game, and they get to take on OU. I’d really like to watch that game.

Another story about Venables
I think we can stop worrying about/hoping we get Venables. Of course, we are still all waiting on an official announcement that Cosh is actually leaving!
Im done with Venables, I dont know if it is Snyder or Brent, probably Brent. He seems to have no desire to be affiliated with his alma mater so honestly fuck him.

Hold on. It may be the case, but let's hear it from someone not named Dave Sittler first.
The guy is an amazing OU homer, and generally, a piece of shit.

I'd like that after 13 years, we could probably look at things from a more objective perspective
Though I don’t know exactly what it “IS” we are looking at with BV
"Nor yet in Dell?"
One, I'm not giving up on BV as of yet.
Snyder probably won’t pay him enough, so yeah, we probably won’t get him because Clemson is coming after him with a supposedly absurd amount of money.
Two, I think Leavitt is a long, long, longshot. I’d love for him to come back and be the DC, but I’m lukewarm on him as a HCIW due to his age.
Three, if we just promote Tom Hayes and Joe Bob, and then, like, promote Joe Gordon or something, I’ll go bat shit.

Agreed to point 3
Except that I don’t think Joe Bob would be bad as the DC and is still young and “fiery.” that said, I would still much prefer to go outside of the current staff for some fresher blood
I heard a rumor that a Kstate jet was in south florida...........
apparently they want to talk to Martin Gramatica about the D Cord job

I agree on all three points, Pan
And Clemson has the absurd kind of cash to entice him out there. IPTAY all the way in Tigers country.
Ditto on Leavitt. Love him as D-coordinator, not high on him as HCIW.
If BV and JL ain’t happening then an outside hire needs to be made. Someone young, up-and-coming, fiery, a sound tactician and hustler on the recruiting trail. But something tells me Snyder would prefer to keep it in-house. Moe Latimore it is.

GREENAWALT HELPS EXPEDITE HEALING PROCESS FOR CATS’ JONES
Kansas State junior transfer Jeremy Jones practiced Tuesday after missing Monday’s practice to rest his sprained right ankle. The injury, which occurred late in the first half of Saturday’s game against Oklahoma, forced Jones to spend most of the second half on the bench. "(Monday) he was hobbled," K-State coach Frank Martin said. "We put him on the side and said, ‘If you can’t go, then you don’t need to waste your time.’ We put him with (strength coach) Scott Greenawalt on the sideline, and suddenly that ankle felt a heck of a lot better."
Nice, thanks for posting.
I played through ankle pain all high school. I never thought it was a big deal, just push through it.
Bitchslapping Texas since 1997
I don't like the implication that Jones was acting, but at least Greenawalt seems to have taken care of that

I heard he had a flex off.
Left side v right, ankle threw in the towel.

If it was a serious injury then I'd have a problem with this.
But most likely the team doctor released him to practice if there was no pain

I think it was in Hawaii sometime
an announcer during one of the TV broadcasts remarked that Greenawalt would have to be either 1) a strength and conditioning coach or 2) a member of the Russian mob with his looks.
I think you're right
I laughed. But then, Martin looks like he could be an Italian mafia boss himself.

Not a bad cover for a Cuban.
Though the mob used to spend a LOT of time in Havana pre-Castro. I’m going to have to request a DNA test. I would not be shocked if Frank’s grandfather was Sicilian.

i remember that was gottleib
because he kept dropping that he played professionally in russia, as if that would impress someone. but dammit if he didn’t mention it several times.
also, are we getting a pregame write-up for the game tonight?
Outside of Venables and Levaitt is there really any canidates for DC that arent within tye program already

What about Crash Ekeler?
does he have the street cred to be a coordinator? I don’t know the answer to that.
oh hail the Purple and White
I dont know, were the Indiana lbs any good this year....it is a stretch, if we were gonna go that route I would presume it is
Joe Bob or JG as Pan said above
Eks has only completed his first year as D-coordinator at IU
having made the move out there I’m assuming he isn’t ready to jump ship just yet. But man would I love to see my boy back at K-State.
Leavitt?
I just have my doubts he comes back to college ball. He made good money on the buyout at USF; he’s coaching in the NFL and probably making darn good money there.
Only way I could see him coming to KSU is with the understanding it was about a 7 year gig with the goal of further grooming Sean to be a head coach some day. Not saying I’m right.
oh hail the Purple and White
Ummmm

well yea, I thought the same too...
So far that appears to be the only story out there…sleep well tonight cat fans!
"Nor yet in Dell?"
I cant sleep well until I know who our DC is gonna be
Honestly as K-State fans we need to cheer hard for the giants this weekend if thwe 49ers lose and we pick up levaitt in time we can still get some good recruits on the trail but if we have to wait until febuary we may be in trouble.
