Can't wait to listen though part of me doesn't want to because Tang might come off as more likeable

 

[Dirt Boy 2]

Don’t know what to say, “WTF” or “Masterful”. And I haven’t listened yet.

 

[RollClones14]

Haven't listened yet but Kudos to Tang and whoever on his team got him to do this

 

[Frog]

Wow, Tang? I know Grant and Jeff will represent, but I’m not sure I can listen to him speak. I wonder if he wore purple clothes and had purple hair. I think I will skip that part when I tune in later.

 

[cyfan964]

Can't do it. I realize it's a me problem.

I think you should only listen to Tang if you want to be an astronaut.

 

[jsb]

He comes across pretty well.

 

[Cyched]

Still a total goober, but that was a good interview.

Comes across like a lot of coaches. Seems to be a good guy off the court, but goes insane in the heat of battle.

 

[ackatch]

I did laugh when he talked about his entrance to the court last year and how he's going to try to time his entrance with TJ's moving forward.

 

[Marcelason78]

He comes across pretty well.

Agree, if we didn’t know his Hilton back story.

When Tang told us of his call to Fran F. telling him what he couldn’t say on air, I wonder if Fran told him what he couldn’t say to TJ accusing him of PhoneGate.

 

[jsb]

This is really unfortunate for my narratives. It appears Tang is a good guy

I’m not going to become some sort of huge fan and I’ll continue to love to hate him.

 

[DSMCy]

Yah he's a recruiter, of course he can turn on the charm when he needs/wants to.

Good on him to actually do the pod though, I'll give him that.

But he's still a total dingus

 

[NickTheGreat]

He seems like a nice guy. Off the court, in the off season, on a opposing teams' podcast.

I get why they didn't ask him about anything he did in Ames, and I probably wouldn't have either, since I'm a non-confrontational kind of guy. Like Jeff said, this isn't the Watergate investigation. This is a puff piece during the summer slow times.

I'm actually really surprised Tang came on and kudos to him for doing so.

 

[NotJustMagic]

Can't wait to listen - as I can't stand him. I love having rivals and hating their coaches - but this is a good move. Wish all B12 coaches would embrace this and engage with other teams fans in this mannor. Would definately help with bringing cohesion to the confrence.

 

[NWICY]

Didn't listen, Tang and phone gate he's on my enemies of ISU list

0% I'm listening to that clown.

 

[cayin]

That was a good listen. Thanks Jeff and Grant for getting him on there.

 

[Cycsk]

Really glad that Grant got Tang for the interview. I enjoyed it. However, I don't think I could have resisted asking about the incidents with TJ and the mop. When he talked about his 'welcome" at Hilton, it almost seemed like he wanted to talk about it. I suspect that there was an indirect agreement not to go there (and not to admit to such an agreement), probably brokered by the K-State journalist. Grant and Jeff certainly took the high road. They are better people than me!

 

[cyclones500]

Pretty good interview. Didn't know if I'd like it, but some interesting stuff.
