Bout time this guy got a big boy job.

Kansas State going to be kicking themselves that they're stuck with Brucey boy instead of Underwood.

Big 12 got a lot more interesting today

 

[isufbcurt]

oh no we suck again!!!!

 

[ISUcyclones11]

Solid pickups for the league today. Underwood is an extremely good hire (if it happens) and Dixon is a decent hire for TCU.

 

[BBHMagic]

Uh oh. Sleeping giant awoken.

I wouldn't mind if a couple conference schools gave up on basketball. We need some bottom dwellers.
This is another good hire.

 

[CarlHungus]

Sucks for k-state

 

[Prone2Clone]

Good hires. Maybe OSU will get GIA half full next year.

Still think Isu should have got him over Prohm. Great hire for them, hopefully I'm wrong and he is a poor mans Huggins.

and yes I am expecting to get flamed for that.

 

[SerenityNow]

Wasn't he considered as ISU's coach? Or was that just speculation on CF?

Sounds like a good hire, but watching him for those 2 games he does have himself quite the temper.

Good hire but whatever. That place needs a 5 year rebuild.

Probably hurts West Virginia. Having OSU play the same style won't make West Virginia such a shock to the system.

I will agree with you, but its a good thing we are not Ad's.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Big 12 definitely got more defensive minded today.

 

[somecyguy]

Not particularly thrilled with that. I hate watching WVA play, the conference didn't need another football coach.

Adding to this last point isn't it interesting how coaches with such bad tempers seem to have teams that struggle down the stretch? Iowa immediately comes to mind and WVU's loss in the opening round. Season after season Iowa pisses themselves in their last set of games and I think it has to do with their coach.

Teams tend to take on the personality of their coach. I'd much rather have a coach who is cool and composed under pressure than a coach who has a system of anger named after himself (Francon).

Yep, just like Izzo.

Plus Shaka will be bringing his press soon, big 12 teams will be well versed against the press. I like that we have our top 4 guards coming back next year.
