Someone had a nice post ---- Arizona was 18 points away from being 10-1. Maybe they suck, but he has recruited well and the team is just a tick away from being special. Bring him aboard if JP thinks he's the right guy and can do the job....

In the PAC 10.

Can we all agree that other then USC the Pac 10 sucks ***?

Can we all agree that the BIG XII is by far better then the PAC 10?

Can we all agree that being 18 points away from being 12-0 in the Pac 10 amounts to Chizdick's word? (means nothing)

Is this Stoops thing for real or what? What is going on!? :)



Sounds like it is for real. I really hope people take a deep breath and settle down a bit. If this is true, I think it brings some excitment to the program. If you want to turn in your tickets and your Cyclone card, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I like the hire if it happens. The "Stoops" name holds a little more sway in recruiting in Big 12 country than in the Pac 10 and he should still have contacts in TX & OK from his time at OU. Couple that with some experience recruiting the west coast and some time to work out the kinks in his first HC position and I think this would be a great pick up for ISU. Sucks that he has Hawkeye ties, but if we can look past that it's a good hire.

why is Stoops a rotten choice, yet Gill was a God?

Im not thrilled by either so it dont matter to me. Both are lame imo. So im not going to act like a 5 yr old brat if Stoops gets hired he will be the coach so be it. Im not going to act like a 12 yr old school girl with 1st crush like some have with Gill either. But why is one worshiped and the other despised?

To everyone handing in their "fan cards" over the possible Stoops hire...

Go cheer for Iowa. Seriously, if this is the move that's causing you to ditch ISU, than go **** yourself. Is Mike Stoops a knockout hire? No, not given his current record. But with that said, if he's hired, we'll know the man wants to be here, and wants to make Iowa State better. Is Arizona better than when he got there? YES, they are. They aren't great, but they've improved, and it's hard to argue that. Should have beat USC this year. I think that Mike Stoops (with the right assistants) can make ISU better, especially if he wants this job. In case some of you guys didn't realize this, we aren't going to hire Bill Parcells. Mike Stoops is winning at a BCS school. This is more than anyone else on our radar at the moment. Oh yeah, we aren't going to land Gary Patterson either. Sorry. If Mike Stoops is the smoke screen, that means he's the worst possible hire we're going to get right now. If Mike Stoops is the worst we can do, than we're going to be ok...

Um was that warranted? I didn't say anything to trash him at all.

I'm not sure how everyone keeps coming up with these breakthrough alerts. The search is top secret. Stoops wont confirm that he's been contacted and the university has said that they HAVE NOT been contacted. I'm sorry, but you really arent gonna know who you get...until it actually happens. Just be patient.
