Mack Brown wins Big XII Coach of the Year; Sims and Smith get all-Big 12 awards

[Clones85']

Yah . . Mack Brown really had em up for the AT&M game. I hate the Big Texas XII . .give me back the Big 8.

They won a rivalry game on the road. Get a clue

We lost a rivalry game 35-3 AT HOME

The bigger travesty here is that A-Rob is only an honarable mention and is somehow behind Helu who he ranks ahead of in yards while being hobbled by an injury most of the season.

This...no brainer 2nd team guy.


Jesse Smith from walk-on to first team BIG XII how awesome is that!

I think if the Clones went 8-4 (those games against KU and K-State), I really think that we would be sitting here and talk about CPR's great year. But since he didn't, I don't have a problem with Brown getting it. And I really, really dislike Texas. But he did maintain his program....and they are undefeated....and spanked a lot of teams this year.

Why not 12-0? The point is . . CPR took much less, in terms of talent, and placed ISU in a position to go bowling.

So who did deserve it? PR did a great job, but look at our overall body of work. We have losses to KU and KSU, who aren't going to bowls, got trounced by AnM and Iowa and took a pretty good beating down in Columbia. We really only had one meaningful win all year, Nebraska, and the rest of our wins came against very, very bad teams. PR definitely deserves the respect and admiration of all Cyclone fans, and we are on the way to being relevant in the Big 12 again...but Big 12 COY is giving him a bit too much credit when Mac Brown will likely run the table in the Big 12 which I would imagine hasn't happened more than 5-6 times, and will have his team playing for a NC.

And they slept walked through the conference. To have that much talent and not win would be a crime. But hey, you can take your Horns . . I love the Clones.

This entire thread has been an interesting peak into human psychology.

I see people sticking up for our coach. Honorable trait. Some may not see the logic to why Rhoads is deserving to the COY honor. Those defending Rhoads don't see the logic why Brown is deserving the COY honor.

Again I can see both sides to this.

Yes that's how I feel. Big whoop. Do you want to fight about it?

I dont' think sticking up for anyone has anything to do with it.

Facts are facts.

My Horns? I am just as big of a Cyclone fan as anyone but I don't follow things blindly in life. Just don't do it

My dad doesn't know 1/2 as much about ISU as I do. Doesn't care as much as I do, but he is blinded by everything Iowa State. He would be like you. Does that mean he is a better fan then me?

Dude, just stop it. You are making yourself look VERY foolish.

Not everybody who thinks Mack Brown deserves to be COY is a Texas fan.

Agreed.

And some Clone "fans" on this board will justify the total screw job on A-Rob. Just wait and see.

Bitter much?

[DaddyMac]

Ok - the insult tossing stops now.

Thank you.

[ISUFan22]

Holy crap. Someone conveniently deletes almost all of their posts in this thread and then gets to say "play nice".

[Clonefan32]

Lets all agree that he wins Big 12 North Coach of the Year, I will print him off a certificate and give him one of my old AAU basketball medals, and we can call it good.

Actually Bo Pelini makes a good case for that one.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but Paul Rhoads was an honorable mention for coach of the year, so he did get a little recognition.
