Big time fail on his part, he is quoted in the CBS article saying that HOD were interested, how could the HOD have been an option? Even if OU gets BCS as everyone expected, BIg 12 and Big 10 still fill their slots for that game...and then the liberty, they were interested, sure only if no one else was available. Take your cross state game and be happy, happy, happy or stay home. Now from the Indy Bowls perspective, why not take them today when most other options fizzled? Could it beacuause BVD is a joke and no be wanted to deal with him?

Probably because BVDV wanted to string them until they could secure a higher payout.

Yeah, I understand what he was trying to do...it's what he did that makes you wonder, Indy Bowl should have wanted that match up and been willing to wait for it, they weren't. Makes you wonder how effective BVD was in his negotiation. People would be flat ****** if this ever happened to ISU.

Who was still on the board when the Liberty Bowl picked us? Who else could they have picked?

I don't have to - they were both at ISU. Kinda bad when you're trying to slam someone and they're in your close ex-friends network. I'm calling this a logic fail.

The real question is why do people keep hiring ISU's failures?

OK, so I was looking to make a joke about whether BVD was still posting on the forums at the school before ISU. Searched, thinking I'd find a wikipedia page. He don't have one. But this guy does:

James Oliver Van de Velde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The effing Bishop of Natchez Mississippi in 1853 has a wikipedia page and Bruce doesn't. That's saying something....nah-mean?

<Fill disclosure, I don't have a wikid-wikidi-wikipedia page either, but sheesh>

Really feel bad for La Tech players, they had a really good team and they were fun to watch. Damn shame. Also a damn shame BVD was the AD here, ISU is very lucky we survived that period as an athletic department. Given much more time BVD would have run ISU so far into the ground there would have been no return.

Have the masses started gathering on BVDV's front lawn yet?

Serious question, did anyone ever confirm that is him posting on here? I read a bunch of the posts and sure seems like how he may feel.

I think it's funny how ****** Karl Malone is at him.
