New K-State Men's Basketball Coach, Bruce Weber

At 3p.m. in the Legend's Room inside Bramlage Coliseum today, Bruce Weber, was introduced as the new men's basketball coach at Kansas State University. I was checking twitter on my phone around 10 a.m. when I saw Weber had been selected as the new coach. Then, I saw the press conference to introduce him was today. I had plans of attending a speech by National Geographic photographer, Joel Sartore, at the Beach Museum on campus at 2 p.m., but I knew I had to be at the press conference. After a quick 30-minutes listening to Mr. Sartore (which was very interesting and something I did not want to leave, but did reluctantly) and rode (yes, rode, as in bicycle) to Bramlage Coliseum. Below are six images from the event.
