Heads22 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 01:02 PM) As opposed to Iowa State, which is already failing in its current league. Iowa State has nothing to do with the way that these schools handled leaving. To that end, Iowa State does more than OK considering its resources. Missouri is the school that has the proud tradition of never winning conference championships in anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect better than blind faith bitterness from you, but this is a garbage stance on your part. Waa waa your school did something to better itself and it could have hurt mine, waa waa. You're right, I'm sorry. The way Missouri handled it was picture-perfect. Did I ever once say Missouri was wrong for wanting out or going to the SEC? To that end, why the f*** can't I be pissed at them for b****ing about the instability of the Big 12 WHEN THEY WERE ONE OF THE MAJOR CULPRITS? You say I have a garbage stance on this and you accuse Iowa State of being a piss poor athletics department despite being at the bottom in both revenues and expenses, not to mention being the number two BCS level school in a state, when Missouri had more than enough in the way of resources, money, support and the geography to do a hell of a lot better than SEVEN total conference championships since 1996. As of June 1, 2011. List includes both regular-season, tournament titles, and co-championships. List does not include conference championships won prior to the formation of the Big 12 Conference in 1996.[114] [edit]Current members Texas - 114 (121 including 7 football division championships)[114] Texas A&M - 53 (55 including 2 football division championships)[114] Oklahoma - 39 (47 including 8 football division championships)[114] Oklahoma State - 43 (42 including 1 football division championship)[114] Baylor - 42[114] Kansas - 24 (25 including 1 football division championship)[114] Iowa State - 11 (12 including 1 football division championship)[114] Texas Tech - 11 (12 including 1 football division championship)[114] Kansas State - 7 (11 including 4 football division championships)[114] Missouri - 7 (10 including 3 football division championships)[114] [edit]Former members Nebraska - 72 (80 including 8 football division championships)[114] Colorado - 27 (31 including 4 football division championships)[114] [edit] Don't accuse my school of having a piss-poor athletics department when your school has no excuse for trailing schools like Kansas State, Texas Tech, and yes, Iowa State.

Looks like Urban poaching Lakeland I saw that. Meyer has a good relationship with Lakeland and if Miami is going to lose a recruit, I guess its best it happens at a position that we have some talent on. We'll see if my theory of Rivals and their star rankings holds true on this switch. He was a 0 star recruit with Miami so let's see if he gets a few star bump since he is committed to OSU now. A few years ago Miami got a commit from a local WR with 0 stars. A week later he changes to Florida and somehow magically turned into a 4 star recruit. haha also grumblings of UF QB Jeff Driskell leaving the program and following Meyer to OSU. edit---Frankie Hammond Jr was the UF WR that went from 0 stars to 4 stars just by committing to the Gators.

zenryan Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 but the kid is good. South Florida has the best talent in the state by far but Lakeland is one of the premier football schools in the state. It hurts losing a prospect like Southward though.

Certain schools do get a stars bump. But when a player is ranked as a 0 or 1 star, it means he hasn't been reviewed or ranked yet. 2 is the lowest a kid can be ranked after review.

Quin Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Dear God Heads, I said I was being a smartass. You and Dan both need to calm down super fast. Conference realignment sucks. Mizzou should have handled it better by clearly stating its intentions. Texas shouldn't have put such a stranglehold on the conference. You're getting WVU and TCU, so it will remain a BCS conference (at least I think), so relax. You know who's getting left out in the cold though? Baylor, Kansas, K-State, and Iowa State. Mizzou was with them and jumped ship and I wouldn't blame any of those four for doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do need someone to bring the fans back, I read in the ST today that ILL averaged under 10k their capacity. You need to bring in someone with an explosive offense or an electric defense to bring the crowds in. If they are going for coordinators to promote I would go for Chryst or the DC for MSU. And if Urban Meyer didnt get the hate flowing for OSU yet, apparently Mike (im an asshole) Stoops is reportedly the next d coordinator.

Illinois fans are like White Sox fans - they show up when the team plays well, but not if they don't. What's really sad to me is that even students fail to show up. It's one thing to have some empty upper deck seats, it's another to not sell out the student section (it is most of the time, but even against ranked opponents this year it was probably 95% full). They need to make a big splash here. Hopefully the admn realizes the importance of making a good hire. The roster still has lots of talent, and the defense should still be pretty good next year. I say raise the salary (Zook was making 1.5...maybe up it to 2-2.5) and go after a big name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
