  1. 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
  2. Yelk’s kick was good
  3. This doesn’t suck
  4. Agreed. I wasn’t thrilled with the news BEFORE Campbell left.
  5. @Kennythetigerid have to imagine you’re pretty elated with Klein’s “Mama called” moment?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. The death of the black uniforms is a nice touch in all of this. Agreed
  10. We just hired NDSU’s President. Their coach is top of our list it sounds like
  11. In coaching? Yeah.
  12. 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.
  13. It depends on what Penn State wants. Campbell is very similar to Franklin in a lot of ways. He’s an elite program builder that’s kind of a shitty in-game coach. He also struggles with high expectations, and high profile moments. Really, he’s perfect for a job like ISU where we’re thrilled with being consistently solid and have no pretenses of being elite. He will win a lot more than he loses, but that’s not been enough for the pederasts. I’d be shocked if he’s still employed there in 5 years.
  14. I’ve never heard a single anecdote of him being anything other than a good dude in his time here. No banging coeds, no abusing players, no racist ramblings, no -insert shitty thing here- whatsoever.
  15. One of the 4 jobs I’ve always feared (along with OSU, Mich, and ND). Seems like this is closer to happening than other Campbell rumors. If it’s time, it’s time. He stayed here about 8 years longer than anyone expected. The job has been improved dramatically. Hope he stays, but I wouldn’t begrudge him leaving for a job you can actually win a natty at, that’s also dramatically closer to his aging parents.
