Its being talked about on Dallas sports talk radio today often. 1310 The Ticket just played the 1:30 of audio.

It cant hurt anywhere, and it REALLY cant hurt in north Texas.

Translation attempts:
From Lazard: Why I can't wait to play for him. Cares more about his players than anything else.
From Mister: Just know i love #CycloneNation

I think it's embarrassing. Yeah you might have got a bad call but freakin deal with it like a professional. Why were they even in that position? Couldn't score a TD and kept giving Texas yards in penalties.

I don't know for certain that it will help a lot, but I know for certain it won't hurt recruiting. Who wouldn't want to play for the guy?

Just like at least getting one signature win each year, CPR seems to make at least one motivational video each year just by being himself.

Embarrassing for who? You? Are you on the team?

To me, outside of talent, recruiting hinges on recruiting kids that respond to your style. Some people actually do respond to being yelled and screamed at. Other prefer a emotional "I got your back" style like CPR. To me its not weather or not this style is better but at least our recruits have no doubt what style of motivation CPR uses.

CPR has a different style than Mark Mangino and different than say Ferentz, but different people will respond to all three.

It's like Rosie Perez said in White Men Can't Jump - sometimes when you lose, you actually win. CPR's emotions in defeat were absolutely a selling point for recruits looking for a coach who gives a **** about his players.

The only people who find it embarrassing are Hawkeye fans and who cares about their opinion. Seriously, everywhere else across the country it's gone over well.

Absolute dumbest post I have EVER read on CF and it's not even close. Congratulations.

Question for the Mods: Is being that dumb a valid reason for a permaban?

I thought it was great, and if I were a recruit I would've loved it. That said, it's a card that you can't play very often, otherwise it'll just be sour grapes.

This!
Whoever visited last night saw a lot of excitement and passion from the coaches, team, and also the crowd. If they don't think that's a good environment, and are more concerned with Rhoads comments post game, they can go play for CW and KU in front of 35K disinterested basketball fans.

do we know who visited last night? i assume Thursday games with Football friday the next night are hard to get kids to come?

I guess a troller is going to troll. rhotgraves I've seen you post crap like this one every thread you've touched on today. Any reason you feel like you need to be a part of Cyclone Fanatic? Because you are neither a fanatic, nor a fan.
