Lol, my wife always says I'm one of the most pessimistic people she knows. There's a difference between being realistic and thinking the sky is falling all the time.
I get that it may be foolish to assume Campbell will stay here forever, but it’s just as foolish to assume that he will be leaving for another job in the next few years.
There’s a lot of them on this board
Somewhat related ...I'd love CW or someone else to do a piece on sources,etc. It fascinates me...like clearly sometimes stuff gets out on purpose....but if a source shared stuff they shouldn't, you know CMC would be pissed.....we all remember the Hines vs Hoiberg beef....sources....lol
That he's not a New York guy? Weird..
Kidding aside, y'all realize NFL is a whole different animal than NCAA, no?
I've honestly never understood what people get out of purposefully leaking info knowing their name isn't attached to it. Just an internal sense of ego?
I don't follow NFL stuff so idk. I just was saying it could make things more enticing to him.
The difference...
The Jets shouldn't be historically a basket case. They are in New York -- they should be a marquis franchise, just like all the major sports leagues want their NY and LA teams to be the best. They are the franchise that won Super Bowl III to legitimize the AFL and the AFL-NFL merger. This franchise is still defined by "Broadway Joe," one of the kings of 60s cool. They should be cool and they should be consistently successful like that.
Their ineptitude isn't sympathetic. Quite the opposite, really -- it is super funny.
Iowa State pre-Campbell save some rare moments in the 1970s and during the McCarney and early Rhoads tenures was awful but, frankly, given our local talent pool, geographic/weather constraints, and our financial resources compared to our peers, we probably should be a weak program.
There is nothing ironic or funny about our historical ineptitude. It is expected and pathetic. It is sad, too, given how loyal our fanbase is and how hard our teams are always trying, even if losing.
Going to the Jets would be like going to Michigan -- a team that should be competitive. Iowa State is more of a situation akin to Kansas State when Snyder showed up. Basically nothing to start with, same isolated geography and limited financial resources, but, miraculously, building a program that was respected nationally and often hung out in the top-ten despite having a stick of gun and a paperclip to work with.
When was the last time you saw a woman make a Big 12 football title game and lead us to a NY6 bowl? Check and mate sir.
What does that even mean?
Some of us are married with young kids. We're trying and failing
You said "Iowa State is more of a situation akin to Kansas State....."
You think that is where we are currently or did you mean Iowa State was....?
K-State pre-Snyder and ISU pre-Campbell is the analogy I'm trying to draw. Heck, you could throw Iowa pre-Fry onto that list. They didn't have much going until he showed up, too.
What do you mean by “get laid?” Never heard the phrase.
