    RECRUITING: A couple 11-27-17 tidbits

    Because playing IL & IN is more exciting than UT, TCU, OU, & OSU ? NU has more issues than coaching...boring schedule, being in Nebraska, & loss of recruiting bases like TX due to change in conference. The 80’s & 90’s aren’t coming back. Frost or no Frost- & I think he’s a great coach...

    Matt Campbell gets PAID.

    He's still a DB. His Big10 loyalty and even his love of Pedophile State this year....puke.

    Campbell Staying

    5-7 million with the option of being fired in season 3? There is a lot to be said for having a quality of life as well. It's not like anyone's hurting for cash at $3-$4 million in Ames Iowa a year. The difference is the locals aren't calling for your head and your kids don't come home...

    Coaching Carousel

    A&M is stupid if they do that...Sumiln has a better SEC record than that of FSU the last 3 years...and the ACC isn't the SEC. But that's A&M for you... God bless them...but they do have a ton of cash...to throw away.

    That game was fixed

    My question is this on the picked up flags...don't we have instant replay to determine these things? Why were refs standing on the field making these decisions based of memory when there are officials with the benefit of High Def, multiple angle, replay?

    That game was fixed

    My favorite was the announcer after the picked up flag on Lazard on our final O drive. "Well there's contact there...but you've got to let the D have that to defend against a beast like Lazaard" Oh...so maybe we should use smaller defenders and then we can just tackle opposing WR's...you...

    Rumor? Campbell and Co. contract extention and raise

    Yea...trading Ames for Lincoln...Nebraska. : 0 On top of that you trade a highly supportive fan base with low to reasonable expectations for a bunch of living in the past morons who expect NC's they'll never win again. And you trade UT, OU, TCU rivalry games for Iowa & WI? An occasional...

    Rumor? Campbell and Co. contract extention and raise

    I really don't think any SEC job is that great right now. FL is probably the best of the group...but they just fired their coach 5 games into his 3rd season after winning their division his first two years there. Sounds like a great job! TN has been good historically...but they're also long...

    Bielema Fired

    Paul was a successful SEC D coordinator at AU. He did a decent job at ISU as HC...a job that no one expects success at. I'm sure he's learned something from his time at AR and from his mistakes at Iowa State. I wouldn't be shocked to see him end up as a HC somewhere.

    Bielema Fired

    He's evidently never meet Bret Bielema. :) Let's be honest, Arkansas and all other SEC teams looking for coaching miracles are pretty much kidding themselves. There are no guarantees in coaching, especially when your expectations are 10+ wins and a BCS birth...or a conference championship...

    Bill Snyder Historical Facts

    I don't often hope we kick the **** out of a 98 year old man...but tomorrow I'll make an exception. : )

    Will this be Fred Hoiberg's last year at the Chicago Bulls?

    He wasn't staying here for $10 million a year. He wanted NBA challenge & I think out of Ames to get away from the spotlight. I've heard he pursued the MN college job more than anyone appreciated at the time. I think that was a lot about getting out of the spotlight & back to friends in...

    Will this be Fred Hoiberg's last year at the Chicago Bulls?

    Also...my brother feels vindicated because he's said forever Fred cheated off him in Finance classes they took together. "Never really talked to him...or got to know him. But he did sit one to the left of me and one row behind me for almost every test I ever took with him" My brother was...

    Will this be Fred Hoiberg's last year at the Chicago Bulls?

    Here is the thing about Fred. He's an introvert for the most part from all reports and my limited interaction with him. It's why he hates recruiting. It's why he wanted out of Ames & ISU. He doesn't want to talk to you at the gas pump, or waiting in line at the Hy-Vee, or sign your autograph...

    Tablet Buyers Guide

    Had a Surface Pro4...it just took a dump on me 3 days after the 2 year extended warranty. : ( I liked it a lot, but the idea of paying for another one after that...ehhh. Bought a Lenovo Yoga with same specs for about $250 less with a bigger screen and more memory. I never used the tablet...

    Kodi TV

    It's a lot more prevalent than most people know. ISP's are starting to evidently monitor it...which just means that people are using VPN's. The reality is there is an ongoing shift in the entertainment industry. Distribution is going to have to change dramatically...same for how money is...

    Coach Snyder's presser just now ...

    I think it should be a two bottom plow...upgraded to high speed tires and 22" spinner rims. That way we can pull the thing highway speeds as needed between Ames & Manhattan. : )
