I think people are overvaluing both Santos and a closer.

If the Heisman is really for college football's "most outstanding" player, no one stood out for me more than RG3.

I think Kansas State has a bigger gripe about not being in the BCS than Oklahoma State does with not being in the title game.

I just feel like Jerry probably talked to him and said to go out and test things, just ask that you come back to us before you decide and we'll see what we can do.

And Sugar Bear gets fired. Imagine that.

Glad to see Leach get a job....despite the fact I was very drunk when I met him he was very nice.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 10:16 PM) Seriously, losing to this UNI team, at home, by 8? How do they beat Providence and Rice handily on the road, and lose to UNI at home? And to Drake? I've seen some clips of some games on the Cyclones site. Looks to me like they have no game control on offense. I think you nailed it earlier Heads, they need a real PG, bad. They miss Garrett, a lot. Also, some defense would help.

Iowa State, you're a f***ing embarrassment.

Oh wow, Iowa still sucks.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) The way they handled leaving? Which was saying we want out and then getting out? Give me a break, you're just jealous your piss poor athletic department wasn't in a position to do the same. I expect better than blind faith bitterness from you, but this is a garbage stance on your part. Waa waa your school did something to better itself and it could have hurt mine, waa waa. You're right, I'm sorry. The way Missouri handled it was picture-perfect. Did I ever once say Missouri was wrong for wanting out or going to the SEC? To that end, why the f*** can't I be pissed at them for b****ing about the instability of the Big 12 WHEN THEY WERE ONE OF THE MAJOR CULPRITS? You say I have a garbage stance on this and you accuse Iowa State of being a piss poor athletics department despite being at the bottom in both revenues and expenses, not to mention being the number two BCS level school in a state, when Missouri had more than enough in the way of resources, money, support and the geography to do a hell of a lot better than SEVEN total conference championships since 1996. Don't accuse my school of having a piss-poor athletics department when your school has no excuse for trailing schools like Kansas State, Texas Tech, and yes, Iowa State.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) This is me, being a smartass to refute your point. That last outright football championship in 1945 had to have been cool. Seriously though, even counting divisional football championships, how many Big 12 titles did Missouri have in 15 years? Five?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 01:02 PM) As opposed to Iowa State, which is already failing in its current league. Iowa State has nothing to do with the way that these schools handled leaving. To that end, Iowa State does more than OK considering its resources. Missouri is the school that has the proud tradition of never winning conference championships in anything.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) Iowa State beats Providence, then Rice, away from Hilton, handily on consecutive days. Not exactly a huge accomplishment, but that loss to Drake had me worried it was going to get ugly. I said last week, the 4 game stretch in front of ISU will tell you if the Drake loss was a fluke, or an indicator of a very weak team. So far, 2-0. As long as they beat UNI, and at least stay in the game against Michigan, then I'll feel decent about this team developing over the season and maybe, just maybe, being in the discussion for a tournament at the end of the year. With the talent they have, that should be their goal. There will be inconsistency as they get to know each other and a new coach. After that, the remaining non-conf schedule is mostly very easy (Prairie View A&M, Iowa, Central Michigan, Lipscomb, and Mississippi Valley State). Iowa is a legit game, the rest of those should be no contest. I've never even heard of Lipscomb. If they beat the remaining teams except Michigan, they hit the Big 12 season at 11-2. They have to play 18 Big 12 games this year, and would need to win at least half of them to even have a chance to be a bubble team for the NCAA. Even at 20-11 / 9-9, they probably don't get in. 21-10 / 10-8 makes it more likely. Makes the loss @ Drake really hurt. Long view, I figured pre-season this team has the talent to be in the discussion for a tourney bid, but probably next season is their real goal for getting the program back to where it was. They are playing a lot better lately, especially on defense. Chris Allen being healthy helps. They still really miss a point guard. Tyrus McGee is starting to take more of Scott Christopherson's minutes.

I'm not sure if there's any apps (like the Tapatalk one) that would allow you to, but that might again be an upgrade sort of issue.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 12:45 AM) Better question- why would you care about them? None are in your league so what's the difference. Because I can. Don't care if its petty, I hope they all fail in their respective leagues.

Suggesting I'm more of a Big 12 fan than an ISU fan is quite possibly one of the most asinine things I've ever heard. Acting like A&M, Mizzou and Nebraska didn't pour gasoline on the fire is simply ignoring their roles. A&M and Nebraska helped foster the system that gave Texas so much power, while Mizzou's flirtation with the Big 10 helped set everything in motion. Not to mention, I likely don't have any chance at a job next year if the Big 12 collapses.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 12:17 AM) They left for greener pastures, so what. Sometimes I wonder if you're an ISU fan or just a Big 12 conference fan. Really?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 12:00 AM) Your bitterness is hilarious. Have fun with Texas. I can't believe you were pro-Texas in a game. Why in the world would I want anything good to happen to A&M? Or Mizzou or Nebraska?

f*** you, A&M. Get out.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 01:22 AM) Wow, really? Thats Indiana-esque We have to fight a lot of history here. That's why a six win season and two wins over top 25 teams have our fans talking contract extension.

Iowa loses at home to Campbell by 16, f*** em.

I find it hard to exaggerate it when I get drunk on 6 beers.

Drinking New Belgium's Snow Day - the Walnut is overpowering. I feel like I'll enjoy this more when I'm drunker.
