That's what I assumed, but I couldn't see the connection. I can't throw too many stones. Some of my fanbase thinks it's cool to type out "Hoks" instead of "Hawks" as a way to insult them that I've still never been able to comprehend.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
I just read through some KSU boards, and I've changed my guess to something like this. Knowing absolutely nothing, my guess is some kind of severe mental health crisis for one of his kids. Which makes you sick as a parent. I hate KSU, but Kleiman has always struck me as a solid guy and I wouldn't wish that kind of experience on very many people.

Uhh, that sounds like a divorce. I realize he mentions his wife, but that doesn't sound great.

I heard last summer that he was seriously contemplating retirement. Perhaps he's already made that decision assuming that he'd go out on a better note, and is just struggling with that. I've seen the vague Twitter posts too but not sure to take it as anything more than speculation.

That was early in the season, and I'm told that doesn't count when it's Notre Dame losing to NIU. Or Tennessee losing to Arkansas (who lost to the lost place Big 12 team). Or Ole Miss losing to Kentucky. All extremely similar losses to CU losing at Nebraska.

It wouldn't break my heart if they won out. Obviously I want us to win out and play for the CCG, but that feels prime for committee fuckery. If we ended up 11-2 or 10-3 I'd be ecstatic regardless of whether or not we got into the conference championship. That Tech game was an all-time fuck up, and a classic example of why Matt Campbell is never coaching at a blue blood program. I think Colorado could beat about half of the SEC and Big 10 teams they might face.

That's definitely part of what's happening, but the 4 teams tied for first place went 11-1 in the non-conference and had a 3-1 record vs the other power conferences. Including BYU's win on the road over a team they're ranked behind despite having the same record. All of that just gets conveniently forgotten. It's an arbitrary fatwa, and I think you guys get that. It's part of what drove you out of the league in the end. When the major mouthpieces scream "YOU SUCK" for a decade, people believe it regardless of how true it actually is. Makes about as much sense as his actual behavior.

Hey Steel Shank!
Left over chili. Left over dogs. Japs, cheese, mustard, kraut, salsa. Sleeping on the couch? Likely.

Right. And they don't act that way towards leagues/schools that objectively have fewer people giving a shit about them. I understand why posters on this board hate the Big 12. I don't understand why people in the CFB media apparatus do. It's always unpredictable, it's always entertaining, and generally shows off a lot of what people like about college football. Just without blue bloods. Which, while certainly a reason to pay it less, doesn't feel like a good reason to be so blatantly hostile and dismissive.

Desmond is a massive part of our problem. Or he's at least a symptom of it. A lot of people have a negative opinion of the Big 12 BECAUSE of shit like this. Notice how when people talk about TCU in 2022, they never say a fucking word about their convincing win over the Big 10 champion. It's just all "Georgia beat them lifeless". I don't think anyone expects to be put on the SEC's level, just knock this kind of shit off.

Exactly. If this train wreck doesn’t entertain you, you don’t understand college football. Give me TNT over low tier ESPN every day. Beats the hell out of the ACC on the CW

Got ya. I read it as a question about what shoulder pads protected, which made me wonder if shoulder pads had changed in recent years (in terms of what they cover)and I had missed it altogether

Wait - what do you mean by that (RE shoulder pads)?

Fuck Big 12 refs
I came here to post this exact second paragraph. This is the only solution. Every conference has bad officials, and specifically being employed by a conference creates this.

See, I don’t like raw cucumber much, and I like it a ton. I’ve had other hot sauces with cucumber in and liked that too.

Yeah, we have Trader Joe’s an hour away. I’ve seen that stuff, will have to try it.

It’s utterly endemic in the entire sport. There need to be full time well compensated officials that work for some central body - not a conference. That way there’s no “school X needs to be kept unbeaten” bullshit. That said, he’s Harlan is being a bitch. Every conference has trash officials. The P12 was just as bad as the Big 12.

There aren’t 4 deserving Big 10 teams either, but no one questions that

Tell me about Iowa State
Yes. Of course. We just want to be entertained and the Campbell era has delivered that in spades. We don’t have high expectations at all in football and likely never will.

I kinda doubt he will at this point. He’s basically Kirk Ferentz 2 hours to the west

Fucker. I’ll be at Farmageddon this year I reckon
