Iowa State tied at 24 late in the 3rd @ Oklahoma as a 30 point underdog. With their backup QB. Go Clones.

Oklahomo is now trailing at home in the 4th quarter as a 30 pt. fave. :lol:

Cyclones! Allen Lazard is better than any Bears WR right now.

I am having some trouble understanding why Kempt was the third string quarterback for Iowa State, especially since Park made some of the worst throws I've ever seen last week against Texas.

Park is not a good FBS QB but the TX game was a bit of a short week anamoly. They've scored 38+ in every other game. The MLB Lanning was the starter last year and is very similar to Park.

I am going to enjoy every moment of PJ's success at Minnesota because its going to be hard as fuck to root for him when he is at Notre Dame in 3 years.

The team he played yesterday was pretty bad though. I doubt he is that quick of a rising star.


I don't think his act plays well at traditional power school.
There are a few problems with PJ Fleck.

1) He claims not to be an X's and O's guy. This is a huge red flag at a big time school. You have to hope he gets in high quality coordinators who will then leave. What's the point when you have your pick of a bunch of guys getting a "motivator" and "recruiter"?
2) Along those lines, he tries to win by simply out-talenting his opponents. The talent advantage he had at WMU was insane in conference because he recruited at a Big Ten level though part of that was by taking somewhat questionable recruits. This is going to be a smaller advantage at Minnesota and absolutely no advantage at a powerhouse school.
3) He's cocky to the point of abrasive. When things are good everyone is going to love him but if things falter even a little he becomes quite hateable by his own fanbase. I mean, the guy has an ESPN show called "Being PJ Fleck" in his first year at Minnesota.
4) He's also a guy who lies or bends the truth for no real reason. He claims WMU offered him "more money". Unless WMU offered him a Scientology-like billion year contract there is no way that is true.

Those, and a few other reasons, is why Purdue passed on interviewing him after they did their homework and also "didn't talk with him or his agent". :lol:

I predict he is another Lane Kiffin type where his hype far exceeds his results. I think he'll be fairly average at Minnesota, and his recruiting, while decent, is not up to what you would hope so far for a guy who is supposedly an elite recruiter.


:lol:

I agree Fleck might suck in the long run, but this manifesto is ridiculous.

You described pretty much 90% of D-1 college coaches. These are some extreme rationalizations here.

:lol:

I will say for the college football Saturday tomorrow, there is always a possibility for some upsets, but not really high on them, could see LSU or Texas win but other than that, could be a ho hum Saturday, hope wrong though or at least some good games.

Watch the Pac-12 tomorrow night--both Washington and Wazzou on the road. Wazzou has the great-but-possibly-psychotic Mike Leach, and they were dominant last week. Both teams on the road.....and home field works well in the Pac-12. ASU is not always considered a tough place to play (like Oregon, Oregon State, Husky Stadium in Seattle, etc.), but they have upset lots of people there over the years. And Washington plays at Cal....who have upset people at home before. If Utah would have won last week, it would make this conference even more interesting. I usually hate Pac-12 football, but it's looking like it is gonna be worth watching.

Oh yeah--the Illini-Rutgers tilt will be one for the ages, too.

I don't know, there's a lot of other reasonably solid home dogs, which always sucker me in. I could lose 10k tomorrow.

Duke (FSU)
Pitt (NC State)
Indiana (Mich)
Kansas St (TCU)
North Carolina (Virginia)
Maryland (Northwestern)
Nebraska +24.5 (Ohio St) seems awfully high, though Nebraska is awfully awful

WSU plays Cal tonight, but the game might get cancelled because of air quality concerns from the wildfires out there.

I'll probably be the same way, I'm trying LSU and Texas with the points and with Texas straight up win

Looks like Washington has the best chance to face Bama. Easy schedule & get Wash St at home in the last game of the year. No USC until a conf. championship game.
