I have to believe forums like those found here on CF had a big impact on McD feeling like the end was near. Thanks to those who kept the pressure on. Iowa State basketball has hope once more.

Oh, happy day!!!!

Completely agree! Great post!

You can use them for excuses though.

Here is what Cornell did to hire a new coach:

Va. Tech's Bill Courtney hired as Cornell coach - Yahoo! News

The Va Tech guy.

The ship was sinking around him, and Creighton sent a single occupancy lifeboat.

Greg gets to walk away, we get to start the next era sooner than expected and JP gets another merciful mulligan with a shot at another first rate redemption (see: CPR). That's a rare win-win-win. Be happy for all involved and let's move on.

Ya saying that the boomerooskie excuse mill was coming to an end?

If this board had any influence there would be Shasta Creme soda in my local grocery store. Still waiting...

The commissary at the state pen doesn't sell Shasta?

If we take credit for the saving of ISU basketball we also must take at least some credit for ruining it as well. Because this site was once called fire waynemorgan.com or so I am told.

Get over yourself. His record at ISU, his son, the 10 year contract..... ALL those things were on the list but you'd be hardpressed to find "anonymous post from CTTB" as a deciding factor.

He probably would have moved to CU last year if it was open then.

I think some people on this board think too much of their influence on world affairs (and ISU athletics). It has absolutely 0 impact on anything, let alone ISU.

**CTTB78** · 04-27-2010, 02:25 PM

If this board has zero impact on anything, why do you guys bother posting? Nothing else to do?

Would you rather study tax accounting, do operations and supply chain management homework, or **** around on the internet?

Bingo. Why do you go to the bar with your friends? Why watch TV? there's little impact in those things.. just things to entertain you.

I can't believe how horrible the average poster has become on CF.
