  1. They were. I gotta make up calories somewhere
  2. Continuity issue: in episode 3, Brownie talks about growing up with Cookie. By Season 3 he’s a contemporary of Mabel
  3. Sautéed pork tongue and shishito peppers, scrambled some eggs on top of it, and made breakfast tacos, topping it with candied japs and a pepper sauce.
  4. There are probably 50 posts from you about how the new Big 12 wasn’t really worth what they got and it was a bribe, etc. Not participating in the backslapping would be simply ignoring it, like most posters. It’s also hilarious to me that you view the Big 12’s collective sense of relief as backslapping.
  5. It’s out there that ESPN and Fox viewed the Big 12 sans OU/UT and the Pac 12 as essentially the same value, but were only giving one of them a contract. The Big 12 had time zone geography and competent leadership on their side, and that’s why they won out. Yormark moved quick, and they liked having Eastern, Central, and Mountain options. Statsman has an axe to grind against us leftovers
  6. I was listening to that album this AM and thought WVU would be crazy to not use that song for the stadium entrance
  7. He could lose out and not be on the hot seat with our AD. I think he needs to win 5 to keep fans engaged.
  8. Defense is still pretty good. Early in his career he would adjust the offensive scheme to fit his talent, and now he’s stubbornly insisting on “his” offense even when it no longer works. Our special teams cost us a lot of games too. They were better earlier in his tenure too. He just really started to believe he was the smartest guy in every room and lost his self critique. This is what happens with too many yes men.
  9. Oh, excellent. I totally thought the was the end.
  10. I was just improvising with what we had available and it slammed and went hard. Surprisingly solid the next day.
  11. My exact thoughts. Fuckin’ Kenny Boy bout made me cry.
  12. He probably is. There's been absolutely no rumors whatsoever of him doing anything inappropriate off the field, and the guys who play for him seem to universally love him. I know a guy who has worked for ISU football since 2006. That's McCarney, Chizik, Rhoads, and now Campbell that he's worked for. He's emphatically said Campbell's the best human of those 4. He's acting more and more like a bitch during games, and I get why other fanbases would want to dog pile on that (I would if I was a fan of another school) but I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest to me he's a bad person.
  13. We bought into it because it looked we were winning with lesser talent, when the reality in hindsight is that Campbell's probably a little underrated in his ability to spot talent. His first bowl team seemed like they had exceptional culture, because they'd been so shitty the last couple years of Rhoads, and came off like a squad of try-hards that overcame the odds. In reality, there were quite a few guys that would go on to play in the league, and a couple of them (Lazard and David Montgomery) have been pretty fucking good. Campbell's a good recruiter and talent evaluator who thinks he can and has manufactured some superior culture, and that appears more and more delusional of an idea with every passing week.
  14. You remember wrong. I've always thought he would take one of those if offered. When Kelly left Notre Dame, I was very much sweating it. I'm no longer concerned about a better job even wanting him at this point. From my cheap seats it looks like the typical story of someone being told he's God so long that he started believing it himself. 5 straight winning seasons at ISU isn't a fluke, but something broke in his brain after the 2020 season, and it's hard to tell if he ever gets out of it. Either way, he's fine. He's making a shit load of money and has an extremely long leash with his current employer.
  15. Michigan, Notre Dame, or Ohio State. Those were the jobs he was waiting for I think.
  16. Recruiting has actually got better on paper. I really don’t know. Seems like Campbell started reading his press clippings to me.
  17. If they give me nothing else this year, they gave me that
  18. I’ve been getting annoyed by Campbell’s smugness, but I’m pretty close to being out. I’m actually glad that he flipped out on that guy. I was starting to wonder if he cared at all. That dude is like 6” shorter and 80lbs lighter than me.
  19. @Kennythetiger we all float down here
  20. We made Campbell a God and he got complacent and conservative. Its exactly what happened with Paul Rhoads, but he took it up a notch before he started huffing his own flatulence.
  21. We made the kick too. We don’t deserve it. At this point I would rather rip off the band aid.
