who misses ksu more...lon or bob?

Nice article, but I have no idea how it has jack poo to do with the thread title. Thanks for playing, though.
 
Good to see you still have your sense of humor, fatty. ;)
 
Having been to the little apple.... and since they are both in Norman now.... I'd say neither.

Seems a little unprovoked and classless, come on man OU fans are better than this. Manhattan isn't a bad town at all, Aggieville (their bar district) makes a joke out of ours. Pretty charming town IMO, one of the better ones in the Big 12.
 
Lol... If you want to get specific, I can....

we have a better athletic administration...
we have more money...
we have better athletic tradition...
we are within 20 minutes of a metropolitan area...
we have better facilities...
we have better weather...
we control our own destiny when it comes to life post-big twelve...
we are about to have our own television network...


And you want to talk about aggieville?????? lol. Why does either coach care about how hopping the bar scene is????

And I grew up in kansas... I know all about it... and now I live in Oklahoma.

Take a pill, buddy. I believe what ousoonerfan was trying to say, was that fatty was making a joke. There's no need to slam KSU or Manhattan, since between football and basketball, quite a bit of our coaching staff got their start there. I'm sure they're all pretty proud of that.

Well said my friend.:woot
 
Would be interesting if Venables would leave OU to coach his alma mater when Snyder finishes cleaning up the mess Ron Prince left. Man what a joke that guy was! :ez-roll:
 
Wow... I had no idea that kstate was a protected topic here on this board. Lol. You guys are funny. I was being sarcastic in my first post, as I figured that was the tone of the thread.... But, then someone got butt hurt by it so I clarified...

And in my past experience with fatty, I can say I think he can take it... so you guys can stop sticking up for him. lol

"Butt hurt?" How old are you? :D
 
Neither, since both jobs have been opened and they didnt go back...

KSU was a great stepping stone job to get experience, but no elite coach is going to go there...they might be groomed there, but not go back...

Did you not know they circle around the field with motorcyles before football games? That has to be attractive to the top coaches.

That sounds almost as lame as mizzOU's fire truck going down the track shooting water into the stands...i went to football games with better atmosphere's than that in high school...and i was at the mizzOU Texas game when Vince played there during their championship year...

other than the motorcycles though, i did hear it was pretty decent to watch a game at KSU...

I never quite understood why people consider a coaching job at a BCS school as a steeping stone. I don't know, I mean if it were me and I was successful at a D1 school I might consider staying instead of going to a program that has a rich tradition and history. You can become a legend if you stay where you are at, but at these "prestigious" schools, you would be just another coach. I guess that's just me. Just thinking out loud here. BOOMER SOONER!!!

Manhattan is the worst town in the Big XII. Well, maybe not as bad as Waco, but it's close. It's like a worse Stillwater.

Because KSU is not OU, Texas, Nebraska, FSU, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, Ohio State, USC, Miami, Florida, LSU, A&M, Auburn, Georgia, etc. etc.

It is a great football head coaching job but it is not remotely an elite job. That makes it a stepping stone job. I think there are people that would be attracted to the concept of building their own program/tradition but it simply isn't one of the elite jobs. The same thing can be said about basektball but the list of elite programs would be different.

Prior to Snyder KSU was an absolute joke. When I was in college Playboy listed it as the worst D-1 program of all time. Snyder has done an amazing job just to make it a respectable job.

I don't know if I would say just respectable, he made it a very desirable program to take over when he left for the first time. KSU just made a horrible decision in hiring Ron Prince who managed to undo what Snyder built for 20 some years in about 2 seasons. They were just one win away from going to the championship game before losing to A&M inthe pointless Big 12 Championship. Even Barry Switzer called Snyder "the coach of the century". But I would agree that now they are not elite.
