The State of Hockey
I am excited for football season, and would love to be wrong, but I feel like this is a slowly sinking ship. Campbell does not appear to have the culture where it needs to be, and if he doesn't have culture, what does he have? Certainly are not out talenting anyone. We have never been a win in the margins program either, despite that being his credo. This is trending down a very Paul Rhoads type of path IMO.
CW and Blum just recently has a podcast about how in the last 4 years we have been pulling in the best recruiting classes we ever got. Yea we will probably never get to the top of recruiting (at least soon) but without a doubt CMC has been pulling in the most talent we had in our history. Plus with OU and Texas leaving, the gap between the haves and have nots is getting smaller. PR was struggling to get past 6-6 in a weak big 12 north. CMC has beaten every big 12 school and in addition to having to play teams like Texas and OU every year. When was the last coach to beat OU more than once?

Maybe. I just need to see something positive to change my mind I think. Where I live I am surrounded by Hok. Everyone knows I am a Cyclone fan --friends, coworkers, neighbors, local family members etc. -- in the last 18 or whatever hours since this broke, I have been hounded by questions, comments, and wild accusations and assumptions. I am dying for news to come out of Iowa City that some of the same **** happened there. And I know that it did, but it was the baseball team and nobody cares. I had one friend ask me when does Campbell get fired for this. I asked him what he meant by that and he said he thinks he should be let go since it happened under his watch. I am just sick and tired of it already and know it is only the beginning.

CPR didn't do anything after Chizik's recruits were gone.

CMC has built something and last year was bad but not even in the same stratosphere of how bad '13-15 were.

Let's see how this season goes before making these sorts of comps.

Just keep reminding them of lawsuits and settlements!

That's the easiest one ever to argue back on, when does Kirk get fired for misuse of low income housing, Rhabdo, I believe there are a couple of sexual assault cover ups, racial discrimination in his program.

Is it bold faced or bald faced lie? I need an expert opinion
Bald-faced.
Barefaced. Then you will not have to wonder which to use.
"Instead of telling a bald-faced lie, why not whip up a truth sandwich, which is an honest, meaty comment between two slices of lie bread?"

I want the best guy to win, but deep down inside, I’m hoping it’s Rocco.

First off, I don’t want to rush Kohl…. I think a year on the sidelines with the headphones on is very valuable for a true freshman QB.

And second…. I’m not sold on our OL at all still…. and I think Kohl will be a sitting duck back there and teams will T off on him. Rocco and his athleticism will give us a fighting chance.

I checked Hughes’ bio on ISU Athletics site. Good pedigree here:

Father, Joe, started at quarterback for Wyoming from 1992-93 ... brother, Brandt played quarterback at New Mexico ... uncle, Tim, played quarterback for Northwestern from 1994-97 ... comes from same high school (Pleasant Valley) and community college (Butte CC) as Aaron Rodgers ... majoring in business.
