So I guess a couple of Final Four berths and conference championships, high seeds in the tourney are mediocre now? Wow....I would hate to see what the new definition of just plain awful is.

Maybe he meant Sean?

Apparently Pickens had nothing to do with it.

Yeah right. Pickens has done everything but renamed the whole athletic department in his name.

Any members of Pickens family become big donors recently ?

I did too. They improved a lot over the course of the season, and even knocked off a team that was no. 2 in the country at the time. (KU)

OSU is Self’s Alma Mater...he left Kansas as as assistant coach to take the same position at OSU in the 1980's.

Roy Williams left Kansas for his Alma Mater; it would not surprise me to see it happen again, especially for the kind of money that has been discussed here...

I hope they can't get anybody good, for fear of "The Boone". The other scenario I would like to see is for Self to go to OSU and KU flipping.

I thought late in the season they were playing way over their talent level. Must have been a Wayne Morgan-type deal where the AD and booster(s) just didn't like the direction of the program.

Sean, on the other hand, has had some issues. He's got two McD All-Americans on the roster, i believe. This team should have been better.

Whoops...I meant Sean.

Quite true, yet it would still be damn funny. It would send Jayhawk nation into a tailspin.

More complete hypothetical thoughts...

Would it cause Appleton to reconsider? :)

I sure hope someone calls him to find out.

Exactly what I was about to post.

The prospect of all this is kinda of amusing...

Self to OSU
Turgeon to KU
? to A&M

Back-to-back years where A&M has a new coach.

It would be sweet if he did, but to do that, OSU would have to make a move before the spring signing period.

One would think that if it happens, it will happen almost immediately after the Jayhawks' season concludes.

A month or two ago, street talk said that T. Boone was interested in Self but even more interested in Bill G (Head coach at Kentucky). Either one is going to take serious cash....

Scott Drew to A&M
? to Baylor
