thanks for the link.. unfortunately no new questions were asked, so fred didn't really say much new.
No, but I loved it when Marty tried to imply that he was in a dead end job because nobody can win at ISU, and Fred had to remind him that we have won 2 big 12 championships and were one game out of winning the big 8 when he was a player.
Marty didn't imply that at all. He said that some people may believe that, but he was here to watch 2 Big 12 Championships, and he knows that coaches can win big here. He just gave Fred a chance to respond to that sort of thing.
I'm no Marty fan, but Marty was almost drinking the Kool-Aid in this interview.
Fred responded perfect, but if you don't think by him saying that "some people may think that" wasn't him implying that then I guess I took it different.
I have never listened to Marty before, but he was a bit condesending.
Often, somebody saying that would be implying that. That's where I think Marty was careful not to say it was him by stating that he's been here to watch ISU win 2 Big 12 championships, and also to point out that he has seen much worse programs (UMass) turn thing around.
I thought that Marty made it clear it wasn't his opinion that ISU couldn't win. Either way, I'm sure both of us think we can. Fred thinks so even more clearly, so we're all right.
Fred just says all the right things. Too damn excited about this upcoming season.
