This man is dominating the Spurs right now

Sorry I’ve been afk/not tweeting about K-State. I know that’s why 5k people follow me. Not much to say about the 26/27 season specifically yet, you know how this time of year is. But I’ve had some stuff on my mind lately and I want to get it off my chest. By Thanksgiving of ‘25 all I wanted was Collin back and Tang gone. Don’t think I’m reaching to say that was basically all of us that aren’t complete bots. The honeymoon stage felt like Christmas every day. But ever since that article from Kellis a few weeks back where Gene Taylor said that $19 and $6 million rosters were “competitive”… man it really took some wind out of my sails. I know he said that we have to raise more money in that article too, fair play, but then last week I open twitter and see we spent a fortune on… lights? Look. We’re no where near the top of this conference financially in either sport. And unless some angel of a man with a K-State degree decides he wants to play CFB dynasty mode like Cody Campbell, we never will be, under Gene Taylor or the next guy. But that’s not my problem. I accepted where we sit financially years ago. It’s year 1 with Collin and Casey. You’d think the money situation would get better over time. But you see Gene’s comments on what we spent this year being “competitive” while money goes up in smoke so we can have an Avicii concert during the football game… it just shows we aren’t serious. Our AD and donors still want to put the toothpaste back in the tube on NIL. A lot of this blame should be on the donors. I know Gene is kind of the online whipping boy right now, but he’s ultimately at their mercy. Gene can’t make them spend money on good football players that they can’t put their name on. The question I’d like to pose is - why live and die every game day if the athletic department is not financially serious? If we’re flat out saying we’re going to be above the board, we’re not going to cheat, this is enough to be competitive, etc. etc… Well what’s the point? K-State won the Big 12 in 2022. They were a top 3 odds team to win the conference the following 3 seasons. Those 3 seasons they went 24-14 with 2 bowl wins and it forced the coach to retire. And now, despite all the turnover, they’re 4th in odds to win it this year. We’re a really good football program that’s highly thought of. We belong at the head table of this conference. I have no interest in being a beautiful loser. I’m not here for the aw shucks ag school bullshit. Play to win, because we have, and we can again. But we can only do it by getting serious about the realities of winning college football games in the year 2026. Yes, we have finite resources, I hear ya. So do we want to spend them on light shows over shitty music, or do we want ball players? And we know the lights aren’t the only example, just the latest one. We’re putting some bad teams in great facilities right now. For the first time, I’m kinda burned out/hopeless tbh. I never wanted to be the guy that throws in the towel on college sports because of the current climate, but that’s because I saw the backing Tang got and thought the top level of the Big 12 was financially possible. I guess that money was conditional on being an idiot? Once again, our donors deserve no quarter. It’s not Gene’s money. Hopefully Collin does something even more impressive than Bill - make K-State donors financially serious about building winning programs. I won’t hold my breath.

@Jakeostreet11 @KUBaseball Hell yeah man

100% Committed!! Thank you God for being with me every step of this journey. Rock Chalk! @KUBaseball “In you, Lord my God, I put my trust.” - Psalms 25:1

@M_Vernon Are they going to close down that section of the street?

The Outhouse is lookin good

@tgoff11 Please don't let the basketball team fall into mediocrity because of we are spending all the money on football. We should be spending money with the top schools in the nation to get the top transfers and we are not.

A construction photo. A perfect depiction of where our department & industry stand. Will we do it right? Maximize the opportunity that’s ahead to be our best version? Need our supporters to continue stepping up. Need my team & Univ community to strive 4 more. Let’s be all in.

@KcSmurthwaite My math points to BYU coming in north of $15m for home games and another $1.5m for the regular season tourney invites. Total north of $16m.

@paulpierce34 Rock chalkkkk

Rock chalk!!

@BleedBlueCasey Whoops lol

Tyran Stokes announcing his commitment tonight will be interesting for a variety of reasons: - Kentucky assistant Mo Williams is currently in Atlanta. - Jamal Crawford won't calling a game because the Thunder swept the Phoenix Suns. - Shaquille O'Neals daughter committed to the Kentucky Women's Basketball team yesterday. - Charles Barkley always has positive things to say about Kentucky and likes them. - Nike has been the official apparel deal with the NBA since 2017. Bring it home. 🙏

Rock Chalk.

I literally cannot name one good reason for this “state” to exist It’s like the worst parts of Arkansas and Illinois had a child together

@MizFanJoe @MizzouHoops @ShowMeZou @brysontiller_11 @MizzouAthletics @Mizzou @coachdgates Easily our worst starter last year. Got benched the whole second half of a big 12 tourney game cuz he's weak and scored 0 pts in 28 min our last game VS. St. John's. You can have him

@MizzouHoops @ShowMeZou @brysontiller_11 @MizzouAthletics @Mizzou @coachdgates Fuck the beakers! Welcome young man!!!!

crossing over to the good side 😉 One of just four rookies nationally to total 250 points, 200 rebounds and 40 blocks, Bryson Tiller is now officially a Tiger! @brysontiller_11 // #MIZ 🐯

@dillondavis3 What a bitch

Jeff Goodman told Bryson Tiller he better be ready to hear some boos when #KUbball and #Mizzou play next season. Tiller's response: “I’m extremely ready. I'm going to embrace it. I’m with the Mizzou Tigers." si.com/college/kansas…

@aaronladdtv He's actually the opposite of what he thinks he is.

#Mizzou Bryson Tiller: "I’ve already proven that I can step into high-pressure moments and impact the game in multiple ways, and Coach Gates has made it clear he expects me to do exactly that"
