More gasoline for the Hype train

[TedFlintKansas]

is anyone else getting worried we are getting to hyped up before the season starts

or it is just me

What hype? We're just an average big 12 team but improved from being 8th out of ten the previous few years.

I don't worry about anything Fred Hoiberg is involved with.

 

[cyfanatic13]

I don't know but it's a good idea this is the third thread started on it

 

[TedFlintKansas]

damn i was 3rd, crap

Trains run on diesel (technically diesel/electrics, but what burns is the diesel), not gasoline.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Better start learning to live with it.

 

[aeroclone]

Drink it up, baby!

 

[19clone91]

Wait, I thought we were finishing 5th in the Big 12?

And he's partially responsible for the hype... Talking national championships n whatnot.

Well, you just took the steam out of his engine (in case anyone forgot about coal).

Awesome write up

 

[fenton06]

I think our athletes use it as motivation rather than pressure. You think Georges doesn't like hearing this stuff and get pumped up? This team as played best when the lights are brightest. Can't wait to see what this year brings!

Anything can happen between now and April, but what the guy writes is pretty darn sound. There are not a lot of media guys that have figure this out yet, but Fred is one of the absolute best coaches in college BB, and he certainly has not done it with blind luck. Actually he is pretty far from lucky. (Babbs, GN, BS officiating, etc.) A lot of coaches have a plan for the next game, Fred has a plan for the next season before the current one is over.

His use of redshirted transfers has changed the whole game. He now has talented guys that spend a year getting stronger, smarter, and better while also making his team better, because they are practicing against good, developed players instead of freshman and walkons.

Always nice to see the Hawks get a little exposure also....

Not satisfied with crippling the street railways and furnishing active competition to the short-haul steam roads, the ever-growing motor industry is now beginning to appropriate the very tracks of the steam locomotive. It is likely that this invasion will never be crowned with complete success. Yet it is equally likely that the gasoline locomotive will in a few years be a familiar sight on branch lines of most U. S. railway systems.
The latest experiment—for it is still such—in rail transportation under gasoline power will be tried on the Rock Island, on whose rails...
