Jack Trice "like a kindergarten class"

Ah yes Arkansas, Vanderbilt, A&M, Missouri are just powerhouses. And we couldn't even compete with OU or Texas if we'd ever play them. Lol
I guess Cameron indoor isn't a hard place to play because it's so small.
Typical Finebaum. But it's kind of crazy that it's a bit of a backhanded compliment as he likely chose Iowa State as it's the largest stadium in the remaining Big 12 (besides BYU) and one of the tougher places to play recently.
Things sure are different than the days of the Big 8 in both good and bad ways.

Texas A&M has one of the largest stadiums correct? Surely they'd never lose a game there.
I've said this in multiple threads over the years but I've been to Nashville many times and I don't think I've seen a single Vandy clothing item on anyone there. Obviously it's a tourist town but what are the odds? No one gives a **** about Vanderbilt outside of baseball.
Dude, it could be a literal hornets' nest. They could burrow up under all the empty seats and grow exponentially. You don't think that's some real scary ****?
We have a very solid tailgating and gameday environment but if you've been to a big time SEC game you know it's a different world than here in the Midwest. And that's ok.
If every stadium in the SEC was like Bama and Tennessee, this comment would be accurate. However, SEC has way worse atadiums and environments than Jack Trice and their basketball is a joke minus a couple teams.
Absolutely agree, but to say it's like college vs kindergarden is a little harsh. Bama, LSU, Ole Miss, Georgia, Florida, Auburn all have amazing atmospheres. But they also have histories of success and larger stadiums. Ames isn't a slouch like Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, etc are.
I do take it as a compliment that he used Iowa State as an example though because it's one of the best atmospheres in the midwest and the Big 12 and he knows it.
Also awkward quiet stadiums are said to be hard to play in.
These teams with 1/6 of the place full are playing chess.
I have never understood why anyone considered Paul Finebaum and expert on anything. He is nothing more and never has been anything more than an SEC shill and a complete moron when it comes to anything else.
Oh it's fine but him taking a shot to downplay us (and the entire Big 12 at that) is just stupid. I mean it's par for the course for Paul because he just slobs on the SEC's dong, but c'mon. I'll give him this, he knew what he was doing in saying that. There's a reason he didn't mention Kansas or say Houston. He could've just as easily made a comment about KSU or OSU.
