They don't like Rhoads and they hate Pollard. I love KF, Fran and especially Barta. You can get rid of Brands but everyone else can stay as long as possible
Wha? I love Pollard. Going public with a Big 12 referee conspiracy theory? Pure gold.
A buddy of mine went to a coaching clinic a year ago where Rhoads was and even though he's an Iowa fan he said after seeing him and hearing him speak, he'd have killed to play for Rhoads.
6 letters are the difference between sounding literate and remedial. Not so much judging as wondering why people short hand on smart phones? My phone finishes most words before its fully typed anyways.
Well either you didn't attend college or you went to Iowa. Either way, well done destroying your argument.
CF Grammar Police somehow remind me of the SNL Church Lady. Satan probably inspired the incorrect usage of there/their/they're.
A couple minutes of googling:

How many apology letters do you think the Big XII sends out each year? ISU has 3 of them inside the last 12 months. How many apology letters do other BCS conferences send out? Ever heard of any?
Why did Mizzou, Colorado, Nebraska, and A&M leave the Big XII? One of the biggest complaints was about Texas running the conference (They have their own network, the director of officiating is a UT grad, revenue wasn't shared equally so Texas always got the biggest slice of the pie, etc....)
Think Pollard was the first person at a Big XII program to call out "shady" officiating? He was not.
Anyone that watches a lot of Big XII athletic events can see clearly that certain schools get the calls and certain schools get screwed repeatedly. It's no secret and it's been going on for years.
To your point... it's not a conspiracy if it is that easily identified.
I love your sentiments on this, but trying to distinguish schools this close with regards to quality by citing academic rankings is a little like asking Dwight Schrute which bear is best.
Off the top of my head? Football, men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball, etc.
But in everything that matters Iowa is better
Really? He has never even hit my ignore list. Any of the section 8 guys can go though.
"See...yous guys tank after you beat us and don't do anything the rest of the year while we go on to a bowl game."
"But you get to play Purdue. Baylor and Okie State are a little tougher than Baylor, don't you think?"
"Derrrrrrrrrrp. Big 10! Clowns! Hayden Fry! New Year's Day bowls! Derrrrrrrrrrrrp. Elite program! Super Bowl! Kinnick! Derrrrrrrrrrrp."
