Well, that’s something I don’t think about with 20+ Olive Gardens in a 20 miles radius in Houston.

The Big12 has lost

○Mike Gundy (OSU)
○Matt Campbell (Iowa St)
○Chris Klieman (Kansas St)

All impacted by transfer portal & NIL.

You hope Colin Klein & Eric Morris are good hires. But overall the Big12, very good coaches at the top 6. Alot of question marks after that.

And Kyle Wittingham potentially retiring at Utah in the near future

I think I’d drop Dykes below Brennan

Thats fair. Dykes seems to be underperforming. But 9-4 & 8-4 last 2 seasons

Brennan, 4-8, last season. But strong season this yr

Hehe, Olive Garden would be one of the LAST places anyone from Houston would go for Italian food. There really are lots of different italian restaurants in Houston that you would go too. However, having said that, here in Little Rock we have 2 Olive Gardens and I do go to them sometimes but we do have some Italian restaurants run by Italians that would be first choice.

My general feel (and it wasn’t based on stats) is that Dykes is a good coach with other people’s talent, but not great at getting his own. I feel like they’ve regressed since then. But I can see that I’m probably wrong

Wow!

Really went out on a limb with that one. An 11-1 team, from a power 4 conference , beats another 11-1 team in a conference Championship game and they’ll manage to make a 12 team playoff. Shocking prediction


I wasn’t going to be able to sleep until I got that reassurance

Not bad for a week’s prep.

More than Campbell leaving, Im worried the current climate of college football impacting a coaching change. If this were 15 or 20 years ago Id be less concerned. But now? The media bias, financials, portal, etc. make everything risky.

The reality is Pollard (our AD) is more important to the football succes than Campbell. I dont even mean that as a slight to Campbell, rather that losing Pollard to another program would be infinitely more damaging.

Part of me was ready for change, but this could fall anywhere between terrible and great. Ask me a year from now.:grinning:

I’ve been listening to several ISU pods, Pollard is a fantastic AD. Farmageddon withstanding.

Speaking of, who thought Campbell vs Klieman in Ireland would be their swan song?

Both teams picked to contend for title. Both teams squared off last year as contenders, too.

Now it’ll be two young guns in a brand new thing next year in Ames.
