Lol found this on there:
“UT won the first BCS championship. What part did ISU EVER play in the BCS?”
uhm....
Relevancy from 22 years ago is a great argument for current status. For context Britney Spears, NSync, and DMX had the top selling albums in January of 1999. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire had the top three TV spots, and frosted tips was the hairstyle of choice for young men everywhere!!
Pretty sure @JStanz51 will nut punch you for disrespecting DMX..... final answer.
That person is surprisingly informed on Iowa State. Props
Yes that person is surprisingly knowledgeable about ISU. It's been a member on their board for 3 years now so it's not a newbie to their board trying to stir up trouble or troll them. Says it's been following Campbell for the 3 years also. Might just be a smart dude or dudess.
Probably has a spouse or relative that went to ISU so is a fan by proxy or something like that.
Are they obsessing over the UL coach yet? Because that’s probably who they will get.
Yeah but they will be underwhelmed with that. They are convinced they are a blue blood. Not a mangled up old high school jock drunk and puking in a dumpster.
they are all over these flight today.. makes a slow ass day at work hilarious for me at least.

Blocked Flight Leaving Knoxville for State College, Pennsylvania
Could James Franklin be ready to hop back to the SEC? Update on the Plane Tracking: Update: The plane looks like it belongs to Jim Clayton, a prominent UT booster.
They will probably end up paying a Sun Belt coach $6 million a year to finish no better than third in the SEC East, never conceding the fact that Power 5 coaches won't even take their calls.
That's got to be tough as a fan to accept. But it's much more realistic than expecting Campbell to jump to Knoxville.
If they were smart they would really pour on the charm and try hard to get Fleck to jump. I think if you guaranteed him top ten salary and 7 years to get past the NCAA stuff that's coming, his own ego might talk him into it. Beyond him there is no Power 5 guy I can think of that would jump at it.

I would guess that's the key. Give someone 7 years guaranteed. But when the school digs up dirt on the current HC to avoid a buyout, it can be kind of hard to trust them. Because, everyone in the SEC is cheating to an extent. If you look hard enough, you'll find somewhere that they're cheating.
Their new AD hired Leipold at Buffalo, that might be a decent hire, although not exciting. The problem with the SEC is that they are so wrapped up in recruiting rankings that fans are upset if you're not in the top 15. Never mind that ISU would have wiped the floor with a majority of that conference this year.
They are SEC fans, so naturally they would rather have an SEC retread or a P5 snake oil salesman like Fleck than a really good coach like Leipold or Napier.
Hot take: Napier would do a better job there than Fleck.
It seems like most of them on there seem to think Campbell is their first choice and they are making him say no and Napier is the back up.
Not too many want Fleck.
Napier would be a home run hire. Not sure he takes it as he's holding out for a top level job.
Bear Bryant retired in 1982, longest tenured coach until Saban was 6yrs by Gene Stallings, the rest of them lasted 3 yrs or less if I looked at Wikipedia correctly. Bear coached for 25 yrs, Saban is up to 13 depending on how you count it hired in 2007. Lots of patience if that fan base.
Well to be fair to Snyder he tried to retire KSU fell into the dumpster and he had to comeback to salvage them. I'm glad he's retired he really had our number, and some lucky breaks.
