They can still find common ground on Rivals ratings, how their coaches have been put in "bad" situations, and how they have historically been better than lowly Iowa State.
No I didn't. I said that the record Rhoads had in his first 3 years at ISU would have gotten him fired at Lubbock, Norman or Austin. Just because that record would get you fired at all 3 doesn't mean I am saying all 3 are equal, that's putting a lot of words in my mouth and then just drawing a really poor conclusion.
Like I said, I like Rhoads and think he should be given time to build the program back up from Chizik's disaster, and the situation at ISU and TTU is different, but multiple 5, 6 or even 7 win seasons will get you fired at Tech. Our AD has a happy trigger finger.
You still lumped them together insinuating that they are all alike and on the same level. Again, why would you choose your program and the two most successful programs in the Big 12 to try to prove a point? Why wouldn't you choose K-State or OSU?
Do some research. 5 win seasons get you fired here. McCarney got fired. We have expectations. This is more of that Texas arrogance that I just love to curb stomp each and every year in one way, shape or form. You guys aren't that good. You may beat us, but I doubt it. You guys suck hind tit last year, beat three awful teams and now you are talking smack on our board? Raggies. Red Raggies.
Honestly, because they haven't been as good. They were better than UT two years ago, I'll give them that but they aren't nearly as good as KSU or OSU.
Tubberville sounds "tentative"... I don't hear any resounding enthusiasm in his comments. I think he knows that Rhoads has his number and he's walking into a beehive!!! :yes:
Once again, you're putting words in my mouth and making insinuations for me. If you just want to put words in my mouth you can argue with yourself and I'll bid you good night.
Meanwhile I'd bet ihavnocash $100 that we (ISU) won't win 8 games this year or next.
If you really "weren't trying to say they are on the same level", then how come you randomly pulled those two names out? Explain that one.
Perhaps you weren't really trying to say they are on the same level, but most would agree that the level of arrogance coming from you and the other Tech trolls make it very believable that you actually do believe you are on the same level as UT and OU.
Its stupid because as an ISU guy I find myself defending the TTech posters. 5 win season get you fired but what about a string of 6 win seasons? What about a sub 30% winning percentage in the B12?
TTech guys - we are ISU and the fact we're talking smack is flat out goofy. Your program has been what we aspire to and while TTub may not get the wins this year, he is an established top-tier coach and MANY in the ISU community would have felt blessed if he could come coach in Ames.
That's an issue. I don't aspire to be a program who wins 11 games once and never wins a conference championship.
In the past two years? Both of those listed, thanks. Honestly, you guys are becoming that fanbase that I don't like for any particular reason. Where were you guys last year?
We're struggling to be program that wins 11 games over 2 years... I'd provide my left nut on a platter for an 11 win season that did NOT include a conference championship.
You gotta have high standards, but you have to be realistic and accept the small steps that hopefully lead to greatness.
I agree with that. I just don't like the expectation being a bowl game this year. We went to one of those last year. It should be AT LEAST a 7 win regular season. Now, does that mean I want CPR fired if it doesn't happen? No, but he certainly isn't in the graces he was. I expect continued improvement and it has to be tangible. The "well it was a tough schedule" bs has to stop. I don't care. I want to win and he has told us there is no reason we can't. What I have loved about the guy is he has not made excuses and he has created his own expectation. The days of hoping to make a bowl should be over. I realize those are steep expectations but the fanbase needs to have those IMO.
