*RUMOR* why is Park taking a leave of absence?
- Thread starter Artic Zone
- Start date
I don't think that is overacting at all. It's a little skeptical but hardly unreasonably pessimistic. We had better still be able to pull off a win for homecoming but no Park the rest of the way and we likely get run by the rest of the league.
Back then I could not have cared less about the hoks. 20 consecutive years of losing seasons.
Earle showed his props by beating top 10 Nebraska two years in a row.
The 1993 ESU Timberwolves had Heisman hopeful QB Joe Kaine go to rehab in the middle of the season and they were stuck with a clown like Bobby Collins under center. They still made a bowl so don't tell me it can't be done.
Because the ISU administration at the time didn't care about football success, and wouldn't have put nearly the resources at his disposal that KSU did.
There were some people posting earlier in this thread that Park had been practicing all week, so can anyone confirm if this is true?
Why in the world would Park be practicing if we knew he wasn't playing and we needed the backups to get every single rep possible to get prepared for this game?
Unless the coaching staff is just saying... "awww, screw this week, we're going to lose anyway, so lets still give Park reps to keep him ready for Kansas". But if our coaches are thinking this way.... that is beyond troublesome IMO.

Didn't Hayden Fry go to bat for Synder telling ISU they should hire him? At that point in time ISU wasn't very far removed from being successful.
I've heard Fry told Snyder that two D1 football schools could not exist in Iowa, so stay away from State. And Snyder was very happy at Iowa.
The story of him walking around K-State's campus, a complete unknown, getting a feel for the 'family' has been told many times. That's what convinced him to come to Manhattan.
What you wrote is completely opposite the commonly accepted narrative.
I hope we're not going to end up having to burn some RS that we didn't plan on.
Park failed a piss test after Texas game. Campbell is making an example of him and he will be back next week. From a reliable source and don't ask for a link
