Coach Tang's opening statement post-Elite Eight loss to FAU:
"If we can't be grateful in these times, then all the love and joy we talk about is fraud — and we're not frauds."

I’ve been vaccinated. I’m pro vaccine. I’m not sure I’ve ever believed a single conspiracy theory. But I absolutely hate the idea of the federal government mandating these vaccine measures on private business. It’s a scary line being crossed
18 years ago our lives changed in the best way when
@Dylan_Foster30
made us parents for the 1st time. So proud of the young man he's becoming. When he sets his mind on something, he excels at it. Couldn't ask for a better son, he's made our life so much better! Love you
2 big things watching this video
1. Feel terrible for

Good leadership lesson relevant to some recent news: If you are in a leadership position and make an unpopular decision step up and own it. Leaders take responsibility for their decisions. Great leaders always take the blame and give their team the credit
Everyone tells you it goes fast but you'll never realize how fast until that day comes. God thing…as we are driving across the bridge leaving Manhattan this song comes on radio. Cherish the days you have left w/ them because.... next thing you know
I hope
@JoeBiden
is the greatest President in the history of our country. I've also hoped that about every President we've ever elected. Why you'd ever want the President to fail is beyond me
It’s fun to see your kids find something they love & do it with excellence.
@Dylan_Foster30
has put in a ton of work to become a great designer. Proud of all his hard work & how it’s allowed him to meet some great role models

Can’t wait to see what he accomplishes over the next four years there. 1st day officially in the books
I asked
@desisills3
about what transferring to Kansas State did for his basketball career. His emotional answer on his arrival to the 'Cats:
"I didn't know if I was going to be here or not... I always wanted to get back to March Madness and I'm doing it."

We didn't do it for the money (although I hope we make some!), we did it for Topeka. January 29th has a rich history in Kansas & will serve as the Grand Opening of

WATCH: K-State head coach Jerome Tang and assistant coach Jareem Dowling told students waiting to protest for Nae'Qwan Tomlin to 'spread love' instead.
The group left after the coaches stopped by.
Man I am so excited to have
@CoachJTang
leading
@KStateMBB
As much fun as it is to see great basketball again I’m more excited about the lives he’s going to impact
A year ago so many critics said investing in

We have to fix our approach to mental health in this country, it is so broken. If you know someone struggling check in on them. And never forget you are loved more than you will ever know!!
Last week was the worst week in 4 months for our restaurants. This week has been worse, & now more restrictions being put in place. A lot of local businesses won't survive this stretch without your support. Order from a local restaurant this weekend if you can.

I don't care about your politics, as a parent, this is one of the coolest photos ever. Look at how proud she is of her mother... hope my kids look up to me like this one day!
We started doing a scholarship years ago at

that honored the top student athletes picked by coaches and admin.

was one of the first recipients & is going to be a great person and player for Giants!
Fun having a coach that doesn’t make excuses but just goes out and gets the job done and creates excitement around

Future is bright w/

My daughter played soccer this weekend. Gyms were packed for AAU basketball. But college football w/ incredible facilities & medical staff is too risky 🤔oh and these same kids will be going to class in person. Makes no sense
So proud of my girl. She loves the sport and has put in the work. Not easy as a freshman to make varsity but she’s going to make an impact! Hayden will be young but has a bright future

Can neither confirm nor deny that Taylor Swift will be staying at

Love you brother. Don’t you worry I’ve got everything covered down here for you. Go rest high on that mountain! Can’t wait till we see each other again. Save me a spot! 🙏🏻
No matter your opinion about our President now would be a good time to spend less time making fun of & criticizing him & instead spend more time praying for him. Praying that he will make wise decisions!
Amazing time at

If you are a sports fan need to have this on your bucket list. Beautiful campus and incredible history. And we brought the Irish some good luck

I'm personally going to match whatever we raise Sunday to help out the Topeka Rescue Mission. So if you are looking for an excuse to come eat at

here is a great reason!
Save the Date for this Sun, Aug 25, for Support TRM Day!
Partnering with Iron Rail Brewing + US Foods, we’ll donate 30% of ALL REVENUE on Sunday back to the Topeka Rescue Mission AND our Ownership will be MATCHING each restaurants’ donation 100%!!
Event:
Iowa state might be hottest team in basketball. Won 7 of their last 8 & many by 20+
Whoever beat them last must be a really good team & should definitely be in the tourney
He’s waited 19 years for this. Bright lights just expose the hard work done in the dark. So happy for

Thanks for the ride you’re taking all us

Just a good reminder. The freedom of speech granted by the constitution doesn’t also guarantee that there won’t be consequences for saying stupid, ignorant, hateful or racist things.
Wanted to share a better video than most of what’s been on my feed this past week. Here’s my Dad & fellow Veterans returning from their Honor Flight yesterday. Thankful for those who understand real sacrifice 🇺🇸
Happy sweet 16 to the most beautiful, kind & competitive young lady I know. Love her more than anything! Can’t wait to see what you accomplish in the coming years

He picked up the game this summer & worked really hard to improve. Hard work paid off as he got moved up to varsity but came up a little short of qualifying for state. Proud of
@Dylan_Foster30
hard work & exited for his next few years of competing
It’s hard to believe we have a 17 year old today. So proud of the young man he’s becoming & love watching him find his passions & excelling. The days are long but the years are short. Cherish them!
Don’t have a lot of days left with him before he’s gone. Gonna make the most of them till them. (And we were secretly cheering for the Braves but our friend that took us to the game is Astros fan so had to play along, nobody likes cheaters)
If you are a kid that wants to play in front of great crowds and for a coach that will make you a better player and better man, time to come visit

I received this letter from a farmer in northeast Kansas. His wife is ill and he is aging.
He sent me 1 of 5 N95 masks he has from farming to pass on to a doctor or nurse in New York.
This is humanity at its best. I share his letter as inspiration.
Always disappointed when the Cats lose, but excited about the character of the man leading this program and the bright future for

"Forget the football side of things, what an honor it was for me to coach against the Naval Academy." After the game, the Wildcats stayed for Navy's Alma mater. Coach Klieman said it was a moment to honor their tradition.
#KStateFB
Jerome Tang needed a moment to gather himself when asked about a KSU student who recently passed. Tang had visited her sorority, and she made a trip to Stillwater to watch the 'Cats this season. Coach gave her parents a call yesterday, about 30 minutes before tipoff.
Love this girl. You will never see her post about herself, only about her team & teammates. But that’s what good liberos do. Proud of you
@EllaFoster30
Coach Tang perfectly sums up the life of a student-athlete. From the outside, you tend to forget alllll that could hinder an athlete's performance. We make judgements based off of what happens on the floor, forgetting everything that happens off the floor is still involved.
Gyms in Kansas are packed this weekend with tons of youth basketball going on, but for some reason opening schools can't happen? I just don't understand the inconsistencies in our approach. Would think kids sweating all over each other is bigger risk than sitting in a desk
I didn’t get to go to my dream college. Instead I went to a college where I had the best scholarship opportunity. I worked all four years including full time my senior year. It worked out pretty well & I graduated with no student loans. Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything

Jerome Tang on Kansas State signing of guard transfer Dug McDaniel..
"It's always a great day to be a Wildcat but even better when you get to welcome a player like Dug and his family to K-State."
My son got in a wreck this week. His first one but he’s fine. This Dwayne Haskins just hits a little different. Makes you realize how life can change in an instant. Don’t take it for granted & tell the people close to you that you love them every day.

Hate losing, especially to KU, but man it's so refreshing listening to

even after a loss. So excited about the future of
@KStateMBB
under his leadership. All class, no excuses, future is bright:
3 interviews in past 2 weeks that went like this - People grew up in Topeka, Moved away & live in another city, but all say, "I want to come back and be a part of everything I see going on in Topeka!"

If the last 2 months weren't hard enough on restaurants, now they are facing supply shortages & skyrocketing costs of goods. Going to be so hard for many to survive this. Support local restaurants as much & as often as you can over these next few months. It will matter
I have no idea what
@Simone_Biles
is dealing with. What I do know is anyone criticizing her hasn’t achieved a fraction of what she has. She’s the greatest to ever do it. I have a feeling her story is about to become even more powerful 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The reason I was so excited when
@KStateMBB
hired
@CoachJTang
was not just because I believed he would build a great program but that I knew they hired someone who understands the platform God has given him & uses it to impact others!

Wow.
The morning of K-State's Big 12 quarterfinal vs TCU,
@CoachJTang
made a surprise trip to Children's Mercy.
18 y/o Taylor has been hospitalized for a week with an infection & woke up asking about the game — so her dad DM'd Tang her story:
"It'll impact our family forever."
