lulz.

If they play each other, I think my head might explode while trying to figure out who to root for. But I would probably end up rooting for Mizzou to destroy the Squawks.

Wow, you think the Big 12 is that bad? My mind would boggle if that was even a game - the Big 10 just looks so bad.

Lots of black/gold, though.

What's the o/u on A Robinson's yards tomorrow? I'll put it at 149 - his career high.

My, my. How times have changed. A few years back he was worth only 250k share of GM stock. Now look at him. He is a Lamborghini.

So they only beat us by 28?

I think that just like all fans do, you underplay the value of the departing seniors, especially Daniel. He and Hoffman are major players that won't be easily replaced. Brad Smith was decent, but he's nowhere near the threat that Daniel was throwing the ball. If Maclin bails, that offense is not going to be anywhere near as good. And the D isn't that good right now...ISU moved the ball decent on them. I'm not predicting a bowless season, but 7-5 wouldn't surprise me at all.

As for Pinkel, $2.5M is a lot, but I have no doubt that ISU could come up with $2M+ for a coach that has done what Pinkel has. Hell, they were paying Tim Floyd over $1M more than a decade ago.

It'll be interesting to see how they do without Daniel, Maclin, Coffman, and their O-Coordinator Christensen next season.

i really think they might have overpaid a bit..........Pinkle really hasnt proven anything without having Daniel as his QB and i think there will be a steep decline in performance in 2009, get your money while you can i guess.

Interesting point. HM, what is Pinkel's record vs. UNL w/o Daniel?
