Ha! That's good. Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh today.

You can tell he's getting more desperate. He has been reduced to the famous "I don't care if you believe me or not," come back when called on his nonsense.

That is about what you would expect from a middle school student, which is pretty much what we are dealing with here

Mac > Chiz and CPR combined.

If you disagree, say why here. Thanks.

You want a list?

How about starting with playing the first ever OT game, winning the coin toss, and TAKING THE BALL FIRST. THEN ADMITTING TO REPORTERS THAT YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE RULES WORKED.

1999, blowing a 28-7 halftime lead to KState. Being destroyed by the 3 good teams that played in 2000. Especially a&m on homecoming with the chance to become bowl eligible.

3-50 against ranked teams.

Baylor 2005, in his 11th year with his best team. Then of course you can add Missouri, nebraska, and of course Kansas.

4 plays from being winless in his 12th year.

And, MOST importantly, NO domestic violence charges.

I agree, but when? I have been a fan for 30 years and have been waiting for us to get better and it never happens. I think we have the right coaches to get to where we want to be, but it's going to take time. CPR is in year 6, I know, but he deserves more time to get things on track before we talk about firing him.

30 years is not long when you consider the first 10 we were not even trying and it took decades for other programs that were trying to find the guy. For a long time we had an AD simply because schools have ADs. IMO we have had 3 attempts. Rhoads with Mac's plan could have been the guy. Oh well, let's hope he takes to Mangino.

I don't know that firing Mac was the absolute worst decision in the world. My point was that those who hold CPR in a much higher regard are quite frankly offer their rockers.

CPR is lucky that he won all those upset games by forcing 4+ turnovers. Nebby,OSU ,TT, texas, TCU.

Tough to live on having to force 4+ turnovers to win....barely

With Gannon quitting the team after the first game, I'm scared of what kind of dumpster fire our coaching staff situation is.

I still do not see how our offense has not improved as other schools in the B12 in the six years. We really can never count on them to pick up a first down anymore. It is no wonder the defense wilted the second half.

And for the defense, I am not understanding how we could not recruit more defensive talent after the first four years. It seems like the most talent is on offense, but we do not see but 14 points. Yet we know our special teams.

I just want to go back to CPR and so many others that say you 'CAN'T' recruit to AMES, IA or ISU. It is the most northern team in the B12. Well, I watched the game with NDSU and just about man for man they were a lot better than we were. Are you saying that North Dakota is warmer and easier to recruit to than Ames, IA????? I get tired of seeing all the 5' 9" defensive backs and DE recruited to be interior linemen. How many DL did we recruit last year or for that matter since CPR has been here. Why is it that CPR small successes were with the prior coaches recruits. What has he done with his own recruits. Then let us talk about ISU and why we can't recruit. So, our indoor football training facility is not any good???? So, our new dressing rooms and weight training facilities are not up to par. I looked at the game last week and NDSU was bigger, faster, played smarter and stronger. They had many new starters, new QB and new coaches????? What the hell gives!!!! Look at there roster, mostly from the midwest. So, I just tired of hearing that you can't win here. We build the SEZ and we will hear it some more. Always, something else???? You have to start with recruiting. You need to recruit all positions on the field. No need to recruit 20 -30 DB's and 20-30 receivers if you can't block or stop anybody up front. It was a good thing we had easy fall camps so we were rested....lol We were the ones that were cramping and laying all over the ground being all worn out from the hot day (a big what 78 degrees) What would have happened if it was one of those 90 degree fall days????? To quote CPR ' I don't care if you are black or white whether you are rich or poor I GOT THIS JOB AND I"M GOING TO BE RICH W HETHER WE WIN OR LOOSE"!!!!!!
