Who's On Pollard's Short List?

[NetflixAndClone]

Matt Entz

Not bumping to dunk on you are anything, but recently with his jump to USC to be positional coach, I went over to look at how NDSU fans felt with him leaving. Especially for a job i don't really consider a step up.

Turns out there fanbase was relieved. It seems that they felt like he was coasting off previous coach success and their fanbase felt NDSU was trending in the wrong direction. Some of it they try with NIL issues, but some think he couldn't recruit as well as previous NDSU coaches either.

Again, everything is hindsight, but it is interesting how perception of him can change and/or be evaluated differently.

I think this year soured a lot of people on him. Another year where they seemed to fall even further behind SDSU and they lost to the other two Dakota schools in the regular season. They have high standards there, understandably, he inherited one of the greatest dynasties in football history

This bump made me terrified that I’d missed something and Jamie needed to look at his short list. Nothing to see here folks just idiots wanting to dunk on everyone. CMC is still here

I wouldn't say dunk on "everyone" - it is a very vocal, very small minority.

Never listen to the idiots calling for Campbell to be fired. Never forget who these clowns are.

I was at the dentist yesterday, and he's a casual Nebraska fan. Grew up in the state but didn't attend the university. We chatted a bit about our mutual disdain for Hawk fans, then he asked me "Wasn't the Iowa State coach on the hot seat for a bit?" A casual college football fan, 60 miles north of Seattle. That stupid ******** travels, man. I was able to correct him without biting.

His offense might be better than ours. Think about that

I checked I did not embarrass myself.

Did he mention rot? (in the football program, not dental decay)

We found the Hot Seat guy.

We found the Hot Seat guy.

The one from Ohio/X(Twitter)? I know where that Hot Seat Guy sat for at least one home game - my buddy (huge Hawk fan, but also huge college football fan, and probably the most active X user I know personally) pointed him out at the game he went to when I had an extra ticket

Short sighted things can often seem to be true, even when mind numbingly wrong.

NDSU fans must expect championships every single year I suppose. He went 60-10 with two championships, made the game three times. 2020 was his only “down” season at 7-3. Their fan base must be full of LakesBison type fans.

Lakes is pretty mild compared to a lot of them. Just absolutely vile language and human beings when they roll in...

Pollard’s short list:

Can a new forum section be created for ridiculous threads like this one, the rot thread, and the Caitlin Clark thread, and make it one that you must opt into?

Watching Lakes get kicked out of Paddys when he came to Ames was absolutely hilarious, then reading his posts here as to why he was kicked out and what actually transpired added even more hilarity.

They out scored us and were undefeated. So yeah at the time it was true. Our offense was mind numbing bad the first three games. We scored like seven points on Ohio. Not Ohio state but Ohio
