I agree, one report may be wrong, but several reports including from the mouth of Mack Brown, this story is done.
Does this rate as one of your toughest days...
- Thread starter UNIGuy4Cy
- Start date
I hope that these media people get fired, very, very soon. There is, in my opinion, absolutely no winning argument for Baylor when compared to ANY of the other Big XII schools. No fan support, crappy facilities, private college as compared to state school, crappy town. Sure, it's in Texas, and they have powerful backers, but really? Not trying to hate on them too much, since I actually feel sorry that they're in this position like us...but, seriously?
It sucks but the last few years when something bad has happened something good followed it. Hoping this wont be any different. Good things happen to good people, they just get tested from time to time.
I agree with a lot of what you're saying. However, that's like saying, "don't freak out yet, we're down 70-3, but there's still 15 seconds left in the game. We can come back from this." This may not be true, in which case I'll be perfectly willing to eat crow, I promise (I'll also kiss the feet of whoever saves ISU athletics). But with all of the smoke, which often leads to fire, especially when there is THIS MUCH smoke, I find it hard to believe that things will go very well for us with regard to realignment in the near future. I'm not freaking out, but I am feeling very depressed when thinking about our future now.
Sorry if I discount the the opinion of the unofficial most ******** on CF (it's UNIGuy4Cy), as a source of "fact" that this is all going to leave ISU in the dust right now.
I'm guilty of holding on to this hope as well, but the Pollard/Geoffrey email last Friday was the only smoke I needed to see to know there was a fire.
Im glad you are not in charge of ISU's current situation, **** we would sit around till we land in the CIML or something.
I think the correct comparison is that we are down a couple of games in a 7 game series, but we still have a chance to bounce back with some interesting realignment options.
Until anything official comes out, the people freaking out are the chicken littles that will believe anything they hear, from anyone. Including the DB from a TEXAS MESSAGE BOARD.
Yes, that includes both of you.
Oh good grief. Pick yourselves up by the bootstraps and get on with things. Holy crap! This isn't a friggin funeral. ISU will be fine. You have a great AD. BTW UNIGuy4Cy they are talking about you the HN rivalry forum.
I really, really don't like to get mad at something that is posted on a message board, but calling individual people out for freaking out is freaking out yourself. Everyone should take a deep breath, stop the bickering, and quit saying condescending things about other people on the board. Debate is good, argument is not, especially with the future of ISU athletics seemingly in-limbo right now. Who knows what's going on? All I know is that everything being reported, by fairly reputable sources, doesn't make me optimistic about the future. Do you see me, or any of these other people, completely freaking out? We're just Cyclone fans who are concerned about what may be happening to us and all of college athletics. Please, just settle down.
If you are all having such a tough time with today, then what happens if all your doomsday theories are legitimized? Mass suicide? I love ISU, but get a grip.. we could come out of this worse, but there's also a chance we come out better or the same.
Your mom told me "Your welcome," but I used a new toy today. I'm a little disappointed that there wasn't a "goodnight" thrown in there though.
