  1. Very possible. There are connected ISU people that believe player retention, especially on defense, is going to be better than expected. We announced the Rogers hire before Pedo officially announced Campbell. It was complete whiplash for everyone associated with ISU. Then you add the hoops team beating the ever living fuck out of Purdue on Saturday and it was a pretty insane weekend in Cyclone land.
  2. I hate it. Sounds like we let the players make the decision, and this was their way to protest Campbell's OC not getting the HC job. I guess if not having to prep for a game allows the new staff to retain a bunch of guys, I'll be cool with it next year, but it really sucks not having another game to look forward to.
  3. It probably wasn’t, and we got one back with the Quinn Sharp miss in 2011, but that will always be my memory of that game
  4. Yelk’s kick was good
  5. This doesn’t suck
  6. Agreed. I wasn’t thrilled with the news BEFORE Campbell left.
  7. @Kennythetigerid have to imagine you’re pretty elated with Klein’s “Mama called” moment?
  8. I’ve said for years he would likely leave for one of the 4 Rust Belt blue bloods - Pedo, ND, Mich, OSU. He and his wife are both from eastern Ohio and their family is all there. His mom was recently diagnosed with cancer and I know damn well if I was living 12 hours from home, and my mom got cancer, and I was offered a huge raise to be within casual driving distance, I’d absolutely pull the trigger. I think he’ll win consistently there, but I just can’t see him winning a title. If they can accept that and be happy with 10-11 win playoff appearance teams, he’ll do fine. I think we’ll be fine, relatively. Part of his success at ISU has been a result of excellent fan support, and facilities. We have the second largest stadium in the conference and fill it regularly. I see no reason that Rogers can’t win 7-9 games regularly. That’s good enough for me and nearly every ISU fan.
  9. Winning is a skill. You see coaches that get good players and can’t win with them all the time. You see guys that can win with lesser players. He won an FCS natty two years ago and unseated his arch rival perma-wagon in the process. It doesn’t mean I think we just made some genius level hire, I just think he’s inarguably proven his ability to guide a team to a championship.
  10. Pretty excited about this hire. Dude knows the Midwest and knows how to win. Probably won’t stay for a decade, but the days of Bill Snyder and Kirk Ferentz are (nearly) over.
  11. The death of the black uniforms is a nice touch in all of this. Agreed
  12. We just hired NDSU’s President. Their coach is top of our list it sounds like
  13. In coaching? Yeah.
  14. Whether or not State College is an upgrade, it’s like a 3-4 hour drive from he and his wife’s hometown. Ames is like 13 hours away. Pretty sure his mom has battled cancer recently too. Outside of the money and prestige, those factors are likely weighing heavily.
