    Big Announcement - Lazard staying put...

    2 things: 1) That was probable best case. Was also told he might not be drafted. 2) Lots of 5th rounders are not NFL players. They are mostly marginal picks.

    Big Announcement - Lazard staying put...

    This thread is in Through the Looking Glass territory. AL is not ready for the NFL. True, elite speed is not the end all be all for successful NFL receivers; however, in its absence other skills must be exceptional. In those respects, such as catching the ball and route running, AL has a lot...

    Disappointed

    History is tough on wishful thinking. Campbell's predecessor in his first season was 7–6 and beat Minnesota 14–13 in the Insight Bowl. That was coming off a disastrous 2-10 season, with no wins in Big 12. How would you rate the '09 progress to the '16 'progress?'

    Disappointed

    '15 3-9 '16 3-9 Improvement? Meh. Who would be favored in a '15 vs. '16 game? I think '15.

    Flying is hard

    Given how busy he is, it is perfectly reasonable that he forgot to notify Madden, the BoR and the insurance carrier. You guys act like he was trying to cover something up. Give the guy a break. Just what do you think slush accounts are for? Legitimate expenditures?

    Been doing some soul searching.... What can we honestly call a success the rest of this year

    Our green banana coaching staff starts showing signs of yellowing-up.

    CFTV: Campbell's Iowa postgame presser

    A minor miracle occurred at the end of the half last night. A power 5 football coach with worse time management skills than Captain Kirk was discovered. The sad truth is that he's greener than a banana bought at Hy-Vee very early on Monday morning.

    MONDAY MUSINGS: Two quotes prove Matt Campbell gets it

    Yes, it is really great to finally have a coach that can give a good post-game speech. And, I could not agree more that we need to "tone our expectations down this first year." I just do not know how or from where our fans came to have these elevated expectations.

    Q&A: Matt Campbell recaps the spring game

    From what I saw, in terms of the Dirty Dozen or so, thank goodness for Kansas!

    Matt Campbell "Grind to Greatness" video

    After 7 loooongggg years of Professor Harold Hill's excremental hot air about 76 trombones just around the corner, was hoping for a coach that was more about the cattle than the damn hat. But, I suppose, this beats a newly minted coin. Sigh! Edit: To be fair, I suspect this particular...

    Pollard Press Conference

    Well, say what you will, but there is always this: JP never made a bad baseball coach hire.

    Would we be a bowl team this year playing iowa's schedule?

    This is loser BS. Just like how many we would have won if games were only 30 minutes long. Focusing on what actually occurred, reality, might be where wisdom lies, as opposed to these nauseous flights into fantasy.

    Goodbye Paul

    I think the players had something to do with losing this game. There were some plays late that were much less than above reproach. For instance, what was Warren thinking trying to get an extra half yard? Yes, perhaps, Paul should have had Lanning take a knee, but ....

    Jamie Pollard trolling Baylor

    When the league kicks us to the curb within the next 5 to 10 years, remember this and other gratuitous nonsense that have emanated from the man genius who has made our last 2 head football coach hires. Facilities? Had more to do with historically high commodity prices than the guy who locked...

    The end of an era? Did you mean the end of an error?

    Why shouldn't Paul Rhoads be fired now?

    Here is why. Pollard needs to be fired first. He has badly missed twice on hiring our football coach. Why would anyone entrust him with this decision a third time? Not to mention the boneheaded contract extension he granted this disastrous coach. This is a dumpster fire on steroids.

    Refs…

    How much did UAB pay them? This one's on the refs. Will NCAA investigate?
