Otz Appreciation Thread

Did I say they didn't do fine? I'm comparing our NIL to other programs. I know those 3 still made good money but we absolutely don't have the resources of other programs.
Agreed but all things considered we’re competing at least
 
It's been a rough week, starting with the season-ending loss, followed by the wbb implosion. So I sat back and watched the Big 12 Tournament semifinal vs Arizona. What an incredible game. Still lost, but one of the best cbb games I've ever watched. The last 4 minutes were amazing!

That's got me now in a reflective mood. It really was a great season. I'm going to watch some more games.

Being a top 10 team all season is an incredible accomplishment, and while they went out earlier than anyone expected, it was as a result of an injury to their All American leader. There's no question that this basketball program is among the elite programs in the country right now.

I didn't want this thread to end so soon. So, I will add...
I appreciate TJ Otz!

Who doesn't? Well, someone who's not a Cyclone fan, perhaps.
 
My stand-by AI was too choked up to do a good likeness of Coach, so I settled for a modified version of the pic from KCCI...along with the verbal tribute the stand-by site. Thanks, Otz. You're a dinger.

He’s built something pretty special in Ames: toughness, defense, belief, and that unmistakable sideline intensity. A tribute well-deserved.

Guy to his right has a dead rabbit on his head.
 
I know he's shot down any job opening rumors but will there be any sort of extension or official announcement that he's here for the long term? (Or did I miss that?)

An extension is rumored to be coming. Nothing yet though
