  1. When Rhule was coaching at Baylor, he talked about Penn State a lot, and I thought his ambitions were (1)NFL and (2)Penn State. He's jumped jobs a lot, and was just getting Baylor together when he jumped to the Carolina Panthers. His biggest strengths are his organization, and he wins the games he should win. I have never been enamored of his handling of the quarterback room. I don't know if his ceiling is like Franklin's, or if he's just left programs about the time they were reaching the point that they could compete against top 25 teams. Both Baylor and Nebraska were basket cases when he got there. Baylor's Sugar Bowl win was mostly with Rhule players, and he is big on recruiting measurables. He moves players between position groups a lot. I know the NFL kicked him out, but NFL coaching and college are different beasts. I know Temple, Baylor and Nebraska were all happy with him. Good hire for Penn State? I don't know. If he'll stay there long enough to finish a program build, we can find out if he can beat top 25 teams.
  2. Barry Switzer laid out the requirements for an Oklahoma coach a few years ago. I forget the exact status, but basically: If you don't beat Texas, Nebraska, or win the Big 8, you're fired. If you do one of the three, you'd better be home by 8 PM and in church on Sunday morning. If you do all three, you can live with your girlfriend. If you win a national championship, you can live with your boyfriend. As many games as Mack Brown won, he caught a lot of hate for his record against Oklahoma. Pretty sure the same thing is happening to what's his name on the OU side, and hell, we'd fire three coaches a year if some of the fans got their way. But yeah, for OU, beating Texas is one of those required benchmarks.
  3. Troof. Stoops didn't want the rivalry to continue, cause Nebraska was good back then, and he didn't want to be guaranteed to play Texas and Nebraska every year when no one else did. Considering ALL his recruiting was in Texas, there was no way he was going to give up the Texas game. That was Nebraska's original butt hurt, and they never got over it. Oklahoma was Nebraska's big rivalry, but Texas was Oklahoma's big rival.
  4. Don't you mean "neobladder?"
  5. Not sorry if already posted. Not digging back. Went to the doctor. He told me, "You have to quit masturbating." "Why do I have to quit masturbating?" "I'm not going to examine you until you quit masturbating."
  6. The only political point everyone on this board agrees with is that Craig James sucks. There were a lot of twists and turns in the Beto story, but since I'm right and all you other fuckers are wrong, and I come here to get away from politics, this could go cloak room fast. I'm not the pope of this dump, but let's not spiral.
  7. Can't speak to that, but I did get to meet both Earl and Robertson. Went to UT when Earl did, stayed in Jester, we said hi a few times in the halls, talked maybe a couple of times. I'm short, 5'6". He wasn't that much taller than me, but I swear his thighs were bigger than his waist, and he could damned near cover a coke machine if he stood in front of it. Met Robertson when we both went to a Bill Glass Prison Ministry visit. Got to talk with him some, there. Dude was huge. I probably came up to his armpit. Said he did prison ministry cause when he got in trouble after football nobody wanted to know him, and Hollywood Henderson was the only guy who visited, and it gave him strength to finish his time and make changes. Didn't ask about the Earl hit. He'd packed on some pounds, but I didn't want to poke that bear. About thirty years ago, my crew put out a chimney fire at Earl's house. No biggie, no damage, but he sent the station a case of Earl Campbell sausage.
  8. Weird thing on Belichick and the hoodies/sweats. The NFL was pissed cause they required coaches to wear NFL branded merchandise on the sidelines, and Belichick wasn't in compliance. He's always been an oppositional bastard, so he got the cheapest sweatshirt, cut the sleeves off, and started wearing it. It almost immediately became a best seller. IIRC, NFL apparel made a few commercials with guys working out in sweatshirts with the sleeves cut off, wiping the chalk dust off their hands on their chests, and throwing it down on a bench as a cushion for a bench press.
  9. Troof right there. Whenever either team loses a close game, some fans will grab that one call that didn't go their way and hang onto it, because the alternative is to admit they lost.
  10. During the sideline shots of the coaches, Sitake looked focused, and you could tell he was making decisions. Sanders looked like a slightly disgruntled fan. Giving Sanders the benefit of the doubt, there was a video before the start of the season, and he's had one of his toes amputated and said he takes a butt load of painkillers to get through being able to stand on the sidelines during an entire game. So, yeah, I think he may have been high as a kite. It was especially obvious during the interview before the game where the sideline chick was asking him about coaching his son for his last game. Someone else on the board called it fake crying, but I think he was having trouble formulating words.
  11. Hell's bells, man. All football games are exhibition games. It was a great game, you got the win, one of the coolest/funniest trophies, and beat the Hurricanes. That was a win for the Cyclones all around.
  12. Iowa State guys played to the end, even though they ruined their original jerseys in the wash and had to buy generic uniforms on eBay before the game started.
  13. She'd do this and you'd agree with her:
  14. https://texags.com/s/64261/press-conference-elko-aggies-react-to-las-vegas-bowl-disappointment/5 Highlight is Elko burping into the microphone at 2:08.
  15. He's like a dwarf among midgets.
  16. Probably from listening to these announcers.
  17. And it would have been a catchable ball if #20 hadn't slammed into him.
  18. You see, Beaver, if you make a mistake on a message board, you'll hear about it for years.
  19. Those OU receivers couldn't catch herpes in a trailer park.
  20. These bowl games have been legit. 5 OTs, 7 OTs, crazy Kansas State/Rutgers, and just when I thought this one was about to turn into a yawner, wow.
