Texas at KSU...

Basing our chances against KState on a game with Texas is off base.

Texas is bad.
 
What I think is the most remarkable is the fact that KSU hasn't had a QB since Jake Waters. No disrespect to Iowa boy Jesse Ertz and that Hubener guy, but they wouldn't start for us...at least in my opinion. Lanning and Park are better, at least when it comes to God-given talent.
 
Bill Snyder purchased a summer home at Okoboji several years ago. He agrees with me in that Iowa is a great place to spend part of your time during retirement. The Okoboji water is clean and clear and the golf courses are challenging and fun.

This is the first time I've really watched K-State this year. Was hoping for a win against them next weekend, finally....but don't think we're going to get it if they play like this again.

If ISU and its fans dont want to lose to billy bob snyder then ISU's powers that be....should have hired Snyder instead of Jimmie Dean Walden....

And that My Friends was the MISTAKE of the CENTURY.....................

And Mr Snyder is gonna make us pay again come next saturday when his record will go to 22 wins and 3 losses in his time at KState vs IState............
 
Yup. JP needs to start scheduling all of those same preseason patsies that K-State was known for playing years ago.

Our problem is we have to win ALL our NON conference games to have any chance at a bowl game because we play in the Texas Ten Conference or as they used to say in the old Big 8....Oklahoma and the seven dwarfs.

Bob Devaney put an end to that in Nov of 1963 ...when good old Irish Bob flattened Joe Don Looney and his buddy Bud Wilkinson in Lincoln
 
Disagree, this road loss to a good team won't get him canned. If they lose this, at home to Baylor, and then in Lubbock after that, then I could see him fired with 3 games to go.

Also somebody needs to comment on how weird it is to wish a football coach would die. Maybe hope instead that he would retire and enjoy his remaining years on a Caribbean island @SpokaneCY

boys boys boys....Thee University of Texas has already said Charlie Would Coach the whole year because their is nobody else on the staff to give the reins of longhorn network er longhorn program too

I see Charlie Strong as thee fall guy for all things wrong with both the longhorn football program and the big 12 conference.

As they say Somebody er Charlie Strong has got to take the Blame...lol
 
Something that makes coach Snyder way different is that he stayed in Manhattan. People like to compare this coach to that one, but never recognize his commitment to the K-State family. UCLA tried to get him in the mid-90's. He turned them down. Staying is one of his most endearing qualities and one that separates him from other greats like Tex Winter.

Oh, I think we all get that. The real achievement is that he's been able to sustain it at KSU, not that he opted to stay. After all, it was widely reported both McCarney and Rhoads turned down other positions to stay at ISU.
 
That shine on Herman to Austin or Baton Rogue must be way off after going from "likely going to take Houston to the playoff if they can get past Louisville" to losing to Navy and SMU. I bold those to indicate how far they seem to be falling now. Going to be a real thin class of coaches to grab for LSU and Texas and these other programs this year.

Makes me glad we got Campbell when we did. The supply was much higher and the demand much lower for up-and-comers like him last year.
Me says the jury is out.

I don't entirely disagree. This year sucks. But expectations were pretty low.

Just saying - if we were on the market this year, we'd likely have fewer choices and much more big dog competition for somebody with Campbell's CV prior to any tenure in Ames.

We had a better "process" against the competition and applicant pool of last year compared to what we might have this year. Even if that doesn't assure a good "outcome" in 2-3 years with this regime, but we were in a better spot last year than we would be this year to search.
 
Sort sounds like a head scratcher on the surface to some, but Chizik would be my sort guess for uT.

He's got quite a few strong relationships with the many powers that be down there and dealing with all that comes with that could scare a few of the top candidates away. For him, it will probably come down to who he can get as a staff honestly.
 
A Wildcat fan pulled these amazing quotes from "Shaggy" They are posted here for your enjoyment.

If we ever add intelligence to our aggression on the line, we will be great.

How inept can one defense be? We're answering that question right now.

I've watched 10 plays. We've made blatant errors on nine of those. Solid effort.

Our gameplan is to wear out their offense by continually giving them 1st Downs via penalty and keeping them on the field

No coaching. The entire team has the IQ of a potato

And holding? WTF. We had to hold to get that awesome return.

What does the Defense do during the week? It ain't practicing football. Probably watching food network.

Right now, Snyder is playing chess against coaches that are eating glue.

We're so bad they're showing Indiana-Northwestern highlights during our game.

Stephen Hawking would look all american against us

Explosive offense? Explosive like diarrhea

The Pride And Winning Tradition Of The University Of Texas Will Not Be Entrusted To The Weak Or The Timid.... until now.

I do not understand our gameplan, apparently our players dont either

There are pacifist, flower selling, hippie communes with more defense than us.

And now we realize the true reason why we want out of the Big XII: Having to play Purple Kryptonite.

At this point, I'd rather bring Beth Mowins down from the booth to coach our team.

I have been cautious to join the Fire Charlie crowd but I'm there now. If they fire him at half, I would be fine with it

Well, at least we haven't missed any extra points.

if we forfeit now, the score is still somewhat respectable?

Hopefully, they have someone packing up Charlie's office as we speak.

Packing defense? The only one doing any packing is Bill Snyder.

Hey guys charlie strong is a good coach. You can tell because we dont get penalties at crucial times.

We look about as well coached as the first time Coach Bombay's Mighty Ducks faced the Hawks.

"multiple players moved" The only time our guys have all been on the same page today

My burnt orange heart is slowly beeping crushed again by the Purple Wizard.

looking at that play, i see three KState players split wide in the same spot, and we have one player covering them

i saw ONE defender to cover 3 kstate wrs?????

A head coach and a demoted defensive coordinator focused 100% on defense and we run a junior high level scheme and execute on a junior high level.

When Charlie said he was going to put the T back in Texas, did he mean T as in terrible?

It sure didn't mean tackle.

I would be worried about our D getting tired but can't be that exhausting watching dudes run right by you

Remove the longhorn decal off every one of their helmets at halftime. They don't deserve them

Even the announcer is giving Charlie advice about jamming the WR's at the line instead of giving them cushion. This is sad.

I got in an argument 2 years ago with a Michigan grad buddy who said Charlie would be another Brady Hoke. We were both wrong because Charlie isn't nearly as good as that fat bastard.

Liveleak videos are less disturbing than watching this crap.

Even the moron announcer wants us to play press coverage.

If this team was a horse, we'd shoot it.

every wideout was open on that pass. he could have thrown it to four different guys

They should put TOAST on the back of Bonney's jersey

We won the toss and deferred so we will PROBABLY get the ball first in the second half. Let's see what this staff decides

I need matches, Charlie's address, and an alibi.

I've had it. Bring on a coach who wins but doesn't condone rape. Petrino, Chip Kelly, whoever.

I've resorted to freshly broken up chick mode, I just sent the girlfriend out to buy me ice cream, this isn't good

Playing "not to get beat over the top" by a QB that can't throw it 20 yards is possibly the worst coaching I've seen in CFB this season.

I don't know who should be coach but it absolutely should not be Charlie strong

My first child, a son, is to be birthed tomorrow. I should be over the moon with excitement, but I find myself thirsting for the sweet embrace of a shotgun blast to the face.

Can Darrell Royal arise and slap some sense into our coaching staff?

This game makes me want to open up a shotgun tasting business.

Charlie getting out-coached by a man who is old enough to have charged up San Juan Hill with the Rough Riders.

Great use of play action there on 4th and 17! Really faked them out!

Did they really run play action on that? I just caught the throw (unlike Foreman).

We are so inept we might as well field a team of pomeranians.

This team deserves a prime time spot on comedy central.

Duck farts. That's all I got. We are a bunch of duck farts.

That guy was a Groza finalist?

I'm not even mad...that might be the worst indictment of this team and staff.

I feel like I am strapped in a dentist chair and getting a tooth pulled without anesthesia, while gay porn is on the tv.

um, they know we have to get two scores, right?

I think Gilbert is trying to lose so that they fire Charlie and make him interim

The o-line sucks, but at least the d-line is inept.

Glad we wasted a minute calling run plays with no timeouts

Can't wait for this onside kick. Probably will be blocked somehow.

If TDomingue can shank the kick off like his FG we may get this ball back

Welp, I think I prefer smelling my farts to watching a Charlie Strong coached football team. To be fair, my farts smell amazing.

Should have had Kansas aggy go to the SEC..

I can't decide who is more stupid, the players or the coaches....maybe it's just both

With November comes new hope. At least we have basketball to be unreasonably optimistic about

Can we lane kiffin Charlie and not let him travel back with the team

And you can get an early-bird AARP dinner at 3pm.

That's a bad comparative for an ISU example, try Johnny Majors or Earle Bruce.
 
I am saddened by how poorly we looked against Texas. New Uniforms. New Logo. New colors.
 
Majors and Bruce got out after early success. McCarney and Rhoads stayed. That's the comparison.

Except Rhoads descended and McCareny had limited success with some really bad losses.

Snyder has had some very good teams and is at least always going to be built around the players/team's strengths.
