I'm all for it, let it ride. They can be in the cellar for eternity for all I care.
Live look in at Tang's famous locker room speeches:
Meanwhile TJ and Self quite often spend 5ish minutes talking and laughing before every game we have with KU. It really bothers me how much I like Bill Self most of the time.
Not the guy eating a Twizzler! He looks happy.

I stood behind Bill Self at a buffet, one time at an Adidas event. He took the last of the smoked salmon. Never forgive that ****er.
Yeah...gotta be honest...I like Self! Seems like a guy I would enjoy playing for...or golfing with!
Before the season started, there were rumblings that he wanted out. The problem is, now that the feeling is mutual, I can’t imagine a high-major AD willing to hire him. He’ll either have to take a lesser job to save face (aka the Tubby Smith), or hope the AD can come up with $15 million (!!) for the buyout. I think they’re stuck with each other, and it’s hysterical.
Yes, but less so.
Mostly just because they have been so bad since then.
Most are now essentially pleading no contest regarding the incident in question. This is a dramatic change in attitude, but still a gutless cop out.
idk... right now he can still pretend like his value and rep are what they were at the start of the season. but another year next year like he had this year and he is fully cooked and going to be relegated to a smaller school, an assistant job, or maybe television. TV seems to be the best fit for him.
maybe when the hawks hire Bruce Weber away from the BTN, he can slide into Bruce's gig, and then 5 years later replace him in iowa city too.
That's pretty captionable.
"That's ridiculous we have to wait until 4pm to get the early-bird special on the meatloaf!"
They are talking about Tang. You try to do that with a straight face.
I think that was BS by Tang. To me it looked like KSU was putting in effort they just weren't very good. He is such a douche. He said the Cinci game was an NCAA tourney game and they lost lol, then said they are treating KU like a sweet 16 game and got destroyed, are they treating ISU like a elite eight game? Because if so i like how this is trending. Also thought it was hilarious he did a blow by in the hand shake line of KU coaches and players. I have a feeling ISU is going to win pretty easily for a road game.
Yeah Self is without a doubt a larger than life character and the real deal in terms of recruiting, developing, coaching, and leading a blue blood program.
He has consistently been complimentary and respectful regarding ISU. It seems genuine and honestly it just means more coming from a guy of that stature.
It's completely fair to want to hate him and I don't think he's the best human being in the history of the world, but only a certain type of persona can take a job like KU and make it his b**** the way that he has, and it is NOT your buddy Joe Everyman salt-of-the-earth guy from down the street.
So in that context, I think he's a pretty good guy, and I'm not afraid to say I like both like and respect him.
It's a bold strategy to publicly point the finger at the players and defend the coaching staff. We'll see how that works out for him.
Make sure the whole bus has a disposable camera to hold up during every time out.
