    Most overrated player/coach?

    I think you are wrong about the offense. I think Miles is gumming up the works. Just look at Jimbo Fisher under Saban, under Miles, and then at FSU...his worst work was with Miles because Miles fancies himself an "offensive guy" and he meddles in the offense a lot. Did you read the article...

    Most overrated player/coach?

    Not sure where you were last Saturday afternoon but I was in the Stadium Club at Tiger Stadium with a whole bunch of people that prime the pump for the TAF (meaning donate money). Les' seat is definately warm...there is no question about it. As for Crowton, he may end up being the sacrificial...

    Most overrated player/coach?

    I would not be so sure of that. Many in Tiger Stadium left last Saturday feeling as though LSU is "falling apart" this year. The game felt more like a loss than a win...and most think Les is one of the "luckiest" men walking the face of the earth. Most love Les as a person but are not...

    Most overrated player/coach?

    Les Miles? Overrated? No, Les is not overrated...that would imply that people think you are "all that" and if you are paying attention you will see that most people clearly agree that he is just not that good of a coach. Overpaid, yes...not overrated. Damn nice guy but in way over his...

    Utah's opponents are a combined 4-15

    I cannot tell you how much I hope we can win this game. I don't care who Utah has played (and most teams have had weak schedules to this point). We need to win this game for our program...to show we can perform with some consistency...to show that we can compete week in and week out with...

    ISU is Aflac trivia question answer

    Ha, ha. Jeesh, looks like they are even taking the "trophy for everyone that participated" philosophy from youth athletics to college athletics now. At any rate, I was somewhat heartened that both Pony and Palmer professed to not know the answer...so at least ISU did not instantly pop into...

    Principal to Cut Jobs

    You are absolutely correct in the portion I highlighted above and Principal is a perfect example. Mutual companies tend to have a much more long term thought process and approach to their business whereas stock companies tend to become somewhat short term focused in their thought process.

    Top 50 Loudest College FB Stadiums

    You should Google the "earthquake game" at LSU back in the late 80s.

    Reflection on our basketball program

    But, but, but, but, but Greg is such a great guy...really, he is a GREAT guy. And, and, and ISU is his dream job...dream job I tell you...he would have never...NEVER...left ISU if he had success. :jimlad:

    Keeler on How the Rivalry Game Got Renewed

    It is hawkeye fools like you that make me happy that I live outside the state of Iowa! If only you realized how insignificant your football program was on the national stage you would probably need to increase the dosage of your Prozac (or whatever drug you are on). By the way, what is a...

    Keeler on How the Rivalry Game Got Renewed

    I can tell you one thing for certain...Iowa did not want to play this game from about 1960 to about 1980 because their program was absolutely horrid...20 or so losing seasons in a row...TWENTY!! Too bad the great ISU teams of the 70s did not have the chance to pound the snot out of the...

    Where are all the Turner Gill groupies?

    Chizik is a very good recruiter. He did a fine job at ISU and he is doing a fine job at AU.

    Where are all the Turner Gill groupies?

    Wow...frankly, you need a more representative sampling from both coaches before you can make such dramatic pronouncements.

    ***Official NIU @ ISU Post Game Thread***

    Solid effort...you get a win against a team you should be able to beat that is not a totally horrid team. Plenty of good things to hang your hat on and plenty of areas that have room for improvement going forward. I would like to see us use #88 Franklin more in our offensive package...he...

    Rhoads ices NIU kicker

    Interestingly, on the three kicks their kicker actually got succesively closer to making the field goal each time...the first kick hit a lineman in the backside, the second kick was very wide right, and the third kick was barely pulled left and actually looked good from the TV angle behind the...

    Game attendance?

    Yeah, they kept repeating that it was a "great crowd over 50,000" during the game. From the broadcast, it looked like both the far north and south reaches of the upper deck on the east side were missing some fans but that the hillsides were pretty well covered.
