Jack Trice "like a kindergarten class"

NickTheGreat said:
That's a very condescending take. Though I looked at the list of 2022 college FB attendances, and we'd be #11 in the SEC.

I don't know how to quantify the environment, and I'd like to think we're better than some of those other teams in that regard. :shrug:

It suggests the whole “breakaway” thing and national interest would absolutely completely implode because nobody wants to watch minor league sports from another region. Nobody. Zero.

I mean, Finebaum last week said that Nick Sabans legacy would be judged by how his team performs this season. Nick Saban is a HoF coach right now, nothing is changing that.

Dudes an absolute hack. I wouldn't believe or even consider anything he has to say for so many reasons.

Here's the quote...

“You can’t limp into this league. You’ll get run over,” Finebaum said, according to On3’s George Stoia. “Nobody needs to take the Big 12 and compare it to the SEC. There’s simply no comparison. OU’s done so well, but everyone talks about going to Iowa State. Well, I can give you 12 places in the SEC that make Iowa State look like a kindergarten class.”

And the second...

“I’ve had people tell me, ‘you don’t understand what it’s like to go to Ames, Iowa.’ Well, first of all, I don’t want to go to Ames, Iowa,” Finebaum told TexAgs. “I can assure you, Saturday night in Ames, Iowa, does not compare to Saturday night in Auburn, Baton Rouge, The Swamp, Knoxville. I mean, you can go 11 deep in the SEC. You think it’s easy to play in South Carolina?

Wonder why he chose to say 'night'. Probably because Ames' tailgating compares to anyone's.
 
I subscribe to the HCS podcast and enjoy most of the episodes. I hate Paul F and will not click on anything that might support him.

So he admits Iowa State is better than 3 SEC teams? That's better than 20% of the conference!

Eh...we've heard from coaches for a long time it's a tough environment. Even CMC knew that a decade ago when he was at Toledo.

Scott Van Pelt used to say on Sportscenter years ago you just don't walk into Jack Trice Stadium (in reference to the opponent) when he'd play the highlights.

TBF SVP is one of the few decent personalities left at ESPN - a relic from a time when SportsCenter was one of the best shows on TV. Most of the time anymore, outside of sports, I just keep ESPN on for noise. SportsCenter with SVP is one of the few things I still actively watch on ESPN.

If we get a cold night in November we’ll finally get to see how Texas handles less than perfect weather. Only took decades for it.
