No it won't. There is power in the spoken (typed) word.  I say it comes nowhere near the men's program.  If they lose every game, so be it.  They will play every game as scheduled. Sorry, I feel it's time to take a stand against the paranoia. (not talking about you, nighthawk). GBR!

Maybe they were telling you something.

Barefoot baby!

jimmy, in honor of your wit and Norm's always spot on threads, the next cip contest we have, whenever that is, the prize will be two 14 oz wagyu ribeyes.  Can't call them Kobe, unless they were raised in Kobe, Japan.  For you city slickers, wagyu is the breed of cattle they raise in Kobe, Japan.  Similar to angus in appearance, but the meat is more marbled. Doubt we've ever had an FFA meat judging discussion on this forum before. 😉

Steel toes or no steel toes?
 

@aphilso1, actually, I think Frost saved his job this off-season. I think the changes he made were not just window-dressing or rearranging the Titanic's deck chairs, but actual, structural improvements that will lead to success. And we have a bit easier of a path next season, in terms of schedule, to get to a bowl game.
 
We still have a few needs, but we've checked some boxes. And if Frost wins 8 or 9 games and takes us to a bowl, it'll be impossible to fire him after NOT firing him this season and giving him another chance to fix things. If you give him a chance to fix stuff and it gets fixed ...
 
So, I expect the O-line is going to look a bit saltier. We have a pretty solid receivers room. We just added a the best juco player in the country to our running backs room. And we replaced the turnover machine with the Big 12 leader in TDs, so the QB room should look better. The offensive coordinating will probably be just a bit better. And special teams could be night and day. I mean, it would be hard for our special teams to NOT be a lot better than they were a year ago.
 
So, yeah. Anyway, Fred, not so much.

Burn? Why so much effort? It's very easy to pop a bubble. We've got experience with that.

Lil Red does the women; Herbie does the men's games.

God bless the hype man though.  Dude gives it his all for the type of season we’re having.  

Personally, I hope this is the one and only season we have to listen to that song and the drum.  

Frustrating. But nothing anyone on this board doesn't already "know." Just sucks to hear it outloud. 

Yes, Kobe said as much. If Kobe comes at a teammate and says you are slacking on the defensive end, and the teammate says "Worry about yourself", and the coaches continue to play the teammate 30 minutes a night without consequence.....then what the F is Kobe suppose to do. Other than maybe go on a radio show and let the world know of his frustration haha. 

From my understanding, it sounds like Kobe and maybe some others have tried to hold each other accountable with it not being reciprocated at the coaching level.  What else can the players do if they’ve tried and aren’t getting any help?

I have no qualms burning a bridge that leads to nowhere.

Staying at Docs house the next two nights...if I run into him I might ask his thoughts on this.  

The "wins" will come during the next seat-yourself process when all those guys who scooped up extra lower-bowl seats during the last seat-yourself process look at their ROI for those seat purchases, see that we're stuck with this horrid team dynamic for at least the forseeable future since we have a buyout like a giant millstone tied around our necks, and decide to dump their extras, and, without a lot of energy or passion among the remaining fans, lower bowl demand reduces to a trickle and NORM FINALLY GETS TO MOVE INTO THE GOOD SEATS. At least that's the story I keep telling myself so I don't cry myself to sleep each night.
 
Oh, and finding free parking should be a breeze.

Culinary note: This thread should be titled "Kobe Beef". (I should get an upvote from Cip for this one).

Maybe it was needed to be said.

I thought we got rid of Mike Riley.

Good thread, Norm.  Might as well get this stuff out there.  
 
This is pretty obvious watching the games.    Bad culture.   We have enough problems on the basketball front, but this is ridiculous.  And, of course, depressing.  

oh, dang! He went there!!!

Is this.rock bottom?  Sorry, couldn't resist.

It's the "stupid ass drum" that is scaring away all of our in state talent.  I thought that correlation was fairly obvious 😀

See my edited post!
