Nomally, I'd agree
but our kicker had missed two makable FG’s when the points still mattered. I think the coaches just wanted him to remember one going through the uprights before the bowl game.

Better example is the squib before half that led to the backbreaking TD
Unless it is the final play before half, or the other team has Rocket Ismail, that is hardly ever a good decision.

I should be happy...
My alma mater won yesterday, but the other team I was pulling for didn’t. We have a share in the conference title, but not the BCS bid. And we got to at least nine wins for the sixth straight year. Only three other major schools have a similar current streak – Boise State, Ohio State and Virginia Tech. That’s a list Texas, Florida and USCw fell from this year.
So, why do I feel so down about the season?
Hey Oliver Luck, I absolutely hate that WVU is "the winningest college football team to have never won a National Championship". You think you could do something about that?
Because you should have won the Big East easily
And your coach makes some horrible game time decisions that are mind-boggling.

The turnaround in the WVU season
came when the coaches realized that poor Noel couldn’t be the featured back any more. Once they moved most of the rushing duties to Clarke and Alston, the running game picked back up, and then Noel could be used as a change of pace runner.
Looking back at the Fiesta Bowl and the way he ran then makes you realize how that toe injury has slowed him down this season.

Ya know, I think this right here is where most coaching fuckups arise.
Failing to realize when an injury has robbed your best players of their ability to be your best players. Seen it happen way too many times; coach won’t pull the trigger and rely on the backup because he’s worried about the kid’s potential future rather than his actual future.

We saw the exact same thing with Florida this year
They should have just rested Demps until he was healthy instead of just trying him a few times a game, probably slowing down the whole process.
Pretty well, all things considered
Gramps took over a team that was one hilariously played rivalry game away from a national championship and has proceeded to shart games in the AA of BCS conferences.
Butch started in an entirely different situation (Bunting…sigh) and built a respectable team in the AAA of BCS conferences before, well, this season.

and yet he still managed to lose a bowl game to Grampaw
But I mostly credit that win to Pat White’s refusal to lose. I was there.

I was fine with that loss.

Bradley-Terry rankings for college football and basketball: because there aren't enough computer rankings already.
If Butch had no clue what John Blake was doing
Is that really any different from saying Cam had no idea what Cecil was doing? It might actually work, except that UNC isn’t a title contender so the NCAA won’t bend over backwards.
Yes, it's different
Blake was a coach, not a greedy daddy. His involvement with the school is much more direct. Also, players directly received illegal benefits at UNC, rather than mere solicitation from non-players (which is the point we’re at with the Auburn deal right now). I think they’re two very distinguishable cases, but I’m a law student so I’m trained to just make shit up as far as distinctions go.

IANAL
But I did sleep in a bed last night. We’ve had some discussion about agency law relating to the question of whether someone is exceeding the boundaries of the duties assigned to them by their client. It makes rational sense to me when we’re talking about an individual representing another individual, at least in the sense that doing so would effectively constitute fraudulent representation of the employer.
But at the same time, it seems to me that companies get held liable for the illegal actions of their employees all the time, generally on the grounds that the company failed to adequately supervise. Is there a legal distinction between “employee” and “agent” when it comes to this sort of thing?
My new blog: Those Other Guys. Critiques welcome.
And I'm an actual lawyer, I'm paid to make shit up.
The idea that Cam had no idea what his father was doing when Cam said his dad would pick the school is as ludicrous as the idea that Butch had no idea what Blake was doing. It also strains credulity that Cecil would solicit cash from one school but not another. But the NCAA has spoken for now.
UConn isn't going to travel well
It looked like they had about 100 people at the USF game; how are they gonna sell out 15,000 tickets to the Orange or Fiesta if they can’t be bothered to make the do-or-die-essentially-the-championship-game in Tampa on a Saturday night?

Well...
They only had a week’s notice that the game would actually matter. They actually had way more than 100 there, also.
I think we can send 15,000 to the Orange Bowl. We sent 12,000 to Charlotte and nearly that many to FREAKING DETROIT TO PLAY A MAC TEAM. Glendale…would be a problem. Phoenix is one of the most expensive places to go in the US from Hartford.

War
“The judge smiled. Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But trial of chance or trial of worth games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all.”- The Judge, War Damn Eagle

The jersey’s will be white (or gray i suppose), but what about the rest. You gotta think the sweatshops in Southeast Asia will be burning the midnight oil getting these new uniforms ready.

If you’re sitting there naked without clothes on, and have eschewed clothes, toys, knickknacks for the last 3 decades, I will concede the moral high ground. Otherwise, you’re pissing on your own shoes, my friend.

If they did, Auburn would prolly defer and onside kick

Bizarre, unbelievable trivia:
Don’t go looking for the answer, and if you actually already know the answer, shush.
Only one team in the Big 12 has gone to a bowl game every year since the conference started play. Who is it?

did it blow your mind as bad as it blew mine?

Okie State?
OU had the John Blake era. Nebraska had the Callahan era. UT had Mackovic’s last year and this season. I’m pretty sure Texas Tech and Missouri have missed bowls.
Actually, the question was flawed.
My source was incorrect, and I didn’t go check it myself before getting all excited about it.
No Big 12 team has gone to a bowl every year since ’96. Only one team has had a .500 or better record every year since ’96, though.

Not bad, but laaaaaame. Big letdown after talk of people that most of the country has actually heard of.
Seriously
who did Minnesota expect to be able to hire? Did the fan base really think Mike Leach would really want to go there while the Miami job was open? Silliness.
our honor defend
Honestly, I agree
I think Miami is a very overrated place to coach currently. It’s nature of being a private school that has lost some of the ability to drop the cash the bigger Universities have. It’s in a shitty sport city too.
Yes but
The dread Pirate must be around an ocean. Lakes aren’t gonna get it done.
Besides, think of the recruiting. Pretty hard to get spread offense guys to come to Minnesota.
our honor defend
Probably Duke
Sure, it’s a hopeless situation, but:
1) By the time coach-firing season rolls around, everybody will be thinking basketball so nobody will be angry enough to raise a stink.
2) It’s in the ACC, so on the off chance you do manage to build a halfway decent team you’re going to make a heck of a run.

Thirty minutes later, I feel much calmer. Florida fans were also apoplectic about hiring Urban Meyer. I bet there were a lot of pissed-off Buckeyes when they took some clown from Youngstown State instead of a proven-ish Big Ten coach. Initial fan reactions tend towards hyperbolic and chicken-little.
For helpful consumption: Kill’s records at Directional Illinois.
2001 Southern Illinois 1–10
2002 Southern Illinois 4–8
2003 Southern Illinois 10–2
2004 Southern Illinois 10–2
2005 Southern Illinois 9–4
2006 Southern Illinois 9–4
2007 Southern Illinois 12–2
2008 Northern Illinois 6–7
2009 Northern Illinois 7–6
2010 Northern Illinois 10–3
I maintain my shrug. Probably a shrug-plus. I’d like to see some indication of success at a higher level, but Kill did everything you could ask for and/or expect at this lower level of competition.
I like his offensive schemes, but I desperately entertained the possibility that Leach would have no other options, and we would acquiesce to his charms.
I suppose my reaction is: "Well, it’s no splash hire. At least he’s won football games as a head coach. I doubt he’ll be around for 5 years. I guess we don’t deserve anything better.

You guys did well
Jerry Kill knows his shit, and he’s used to building a program that holds its own on limited resources. An even bigger plus is that he has a multi-year track record of success rather than a two or three year hot streak. Since y’all are never going to outspend anOSU, Michigan, or Nebraska, those are good traits to have.
I’m increasingly of the view that in the cartel conferences, you probably do just as well picking a guy from a smaller school who has a significant amount of head coaching experience than taking a shot on the latest hot, young college assistant. Brian Kelly (though I’m loathe to say anything nice about the guy( is a good example. So were Terry Hoeppner and Randy Walker; both had good things going at mid-level Big Ten schools but died before they could accomplish everything they set out to do.

"Initial fan reactions tend towards hyperbolic and chicken-little."
Ain’t that the truth.
As CBS was all so giddy to remind us this season… I hope this guy canceled his season tickets. As an aside, this was pretty indicative of the AU message board “hive mentality” at the time.

I have to confess, I'm confused.
What did you guys want, a conference game in Tucson (or Houston or Dallas)?
/snark_off
Seriously, though, think about this really hard, and I think you’ll have to agree: there were only two bowls you could have gotten sent to which would have created any sense of satisfaction for you as a fan.
One is the Cotton, but you weren’t going there, though, and that’s got nothing to do with the Big 12. I’m pretty sure everyone knows full well that if the Cotton Bowl has any justifiable opportunity to take Texas or Texas A&M after one of them hasn’t been in their game for the span of an entire graduating class, they’re going to jump all over it. (In fact, the current UT/aTm absence from the Cotton Bowl is the longest gap between appearances since Rice and TCU were trading off appearances in the 50s.)
The other is the Alamo, and they haven’t gotten OSU since 1997. Given the final rankings, you’ve got to concede that OSU getting selected ahead of you is not much of a screw job.
Don’t get me wrong, the days of the Holiday being a satisfactory destination for a Big 12 team ended when they flipped with the Alamo. I can understand you not wanting to be “relegated” there. But compared to the screw job we got in 1998, what y’all just got was more like a desultory happy ending from a bored Vietnamese masseuse.
My new blog: Those Other Guys. Critiques welcome.
I get the argument you're making,
but you’re missing two major points:
1. this will be the 2nd of 3 times we play Washington in the space of 12 months.
2. A Nebraska-Iowa Insight Bowl makes eleventy bazillion times more sense culturally and financially.
No offense to your 1998 team (you got screwed, pure and simple), but this isn’t anywhere near a happy ending. It’s an ex-girlfriend throwing all your shit out on the curb, then lighting it on fire. It’s petty and vindictive and HOLY HELL I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M STILL THIS MAD ABOUT THIS.
"...water for the corn." — petromax spambot
And there's the crux of the problem.
It wasn’t about keeping you out of the Insight Bowl; it was about not screwing Missouri yet again (whether they deserve it or not notwithstanding).
Like I said, I don’t blame you for being pissed (and NU-WU is a total “why bother” game), I just think the anger’s misdirected somewhat. But mostly I was trying to at least make you feel a little better, and I guess I failed. :/
My new blog: Those Other Guys. Critiques welcome.
You're not going to be able to make us feel better
And Rev is right – it’s Nebraska getting done by the conference any way the conference can get away with, and everyone’s got a wink and a giggle about it.
Name the last time there was a rematch of a non-conference game in a bowl where the bowls had any wiggle room at all to avoid it.
by Albino Tornado on Dec 6, 2010 11:01 AM EST up reply actions
I appreciate the effort,
but considering NU beat Mizzou head-to-head it wouldn’t necessarily be a screwing in my book. Mizzou fans would beg to differ, of course, and they could use your argument and not feel ashamed to do so.
I even understand why the Big 12 wouldn’t want NU-Iowa: it would essentially be a 4 hour infomercial for the Big Integer when one of the schools is still technically a Big 8+4-2 member. But just because I understand it doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s a douche move on the part of the Big 8+4-2. I guess you could say at this point I’m looking at everything the Big 12 does with douchebag-colored lenses.
"...water for the corn." — petromax spambot
The funny thing is
Missouri could feel like they got screwed again anyway, only this time they at least got lube.
If you were to go by the BCS standings (I know, I know, just bear with me), here’s where everyone would have ended up:
Fiesta – OU
Cotton – Missouri
Alamo – Okie Lite
Insight – A&M
Holiday – …er, Nebraska.
So, to me, the only real screwjob here was that you ended up playing Washington. If this game’s against Arizona or something, I think you’re a lot less pissed off, but at that point I have to note that Nebraska’s opponent in the bowl game is Larry Scott’s fault, not Dan Beebe’s.
