I'm not your friend, buddy!
My son in law is a KSU fan, and he's pissed. He wanted Weber gone last year and replaced with UWood.
This is a very good post ...
There wasn't even time for all of the ex Illini to complain about the process and suggest that (not them of course) but that an Illini should be hired. Would be nice to wrap up the assistant coaching process soon for the same reasons. And no reason to discuss the Chicago stuff, old BOT stuff, etc. Days are over!

Yes, hopefully this will tamp down some of those thinking he might bolt for K-State next year. I don't see K-State putting out $12M (buyout + $3.5M for first year) for their first year after firing Weber...
I am so fired up about this hire. Seeing Huggy and Frank in the S16 makes me giddy to think we might see a similar type of resurgence very soon...
Huggy's not walking out of any bar.
It's a gamble, but it's probably the least gamble that was available to us, including retaining Groce.
And if they do, adding that buyout onto the resources we've already demonstrated is Captain Insane-o money. We're in fine shape either way.

It is actually an awesome place. GI is a fantastic venue . Don't forget they draw +10,000 regularly to NCAA wrestling events . I'm actually headed down there (Stilly ) with wifey on Friday to see my lad who's graduating in May . He loves the place - the students , the campus & the culture.
You would probably never know it , but that campus is really really nice . T Boone & other oil rich donors gave that school a ton of $ the past 15 years
We poached their coach . They have their own issues re their AD . No reason for anyone here to down talk that school . It's about 40% the size of UIUC, and they outdraw us in a lot of sports , and are like in the top 4-5 of NCAA championships in all sports combined . Wrestling , golf , baseball and
X country are all big time programs .
We better make sure JW is still here....I have a good feeling about that
Yeah that's one of those places that's a cauldron when they're winning. Kevin Durant and Texas played them there in one of the greatest college basketball games you could ever hope to see.
Does anyone know if this type of rider is typical? If it is not then I would assume that BU asked for the rider.
How does her being escorted from the game relate to his character?

Maybe Kansas washes out on Thursday and Kansas State poaches the Jayhawks coach on Friday. Would he settle for that?
For anyone worried bout underwood leaving after years one or two.
year 1) 8.5 year 2) 7.4 year 3) 6.3 The buyouts in his contract. I don't see a Kansas state paying 8.5 7.4 or 6.3

He's not taking his 4th job in 4-6 years unless a North Carolina or Duke comes calling. And if that happens, we're probably in good shape anyways.

And that would mean that he's done well enough for them to want to buy him out. So our program would be in better shape than it is now and we'd be getting a pile of money. If he's doing that great, I'm sure I'd rather keep him, but we'll be in a significantly better position than we were for this search.

WHAT?!?!? Self leaving KU for KSU because he didn't make the elite 8? I want some of what you're smoking.

In cyberspace, no one can hear you snark.
Remember, I did begin with "Maybe..." But wouldn't Kansas' Little Brother just love to do that to Big Brother Lawrence if they had half a chance? Didn't The Coach say something about some job in Kansas being his Dream Job? Which one was that again?
