Texas at Iowa St

Sound familiar?

he's right though. And I heard this morning Mangino is no longer the OC. I've seen ISU play twice this yr, they have one hell of a WR but thats really it. Once down 20pts they lose confidence and give up, its in the Horns best interest to get up 20+ on these guys early unless they want Chuck to go ahead and run to Miami. ;)

Down 20, and they give up?  That's interesting.  Baylor led them 35-0, but they came back to within 35-20 in the 4th Qtr.  Iowa St has played Texas tough the last couple of years.  I think Texas wins, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they lost. 

Me either.  Texas will rarely get anything but the other team's best shot.  Iowa St. also hung with TCU for 3 quarters.  We hung with TCU for 3 quarters of a minute.

game was over at 20-0 in the 1st quarter, 35-20 4th qtr, thx for nailing my point, BU started subbing 3rd qtr. Could have been worse.

Shock Linwood ran for 171 yards with a touchdown, and caught a pass for another score as second-ranked Baylor beat Iowa State 45-27 for its FBS-best 20th consecutive home win while ending another

Why does ESPN report that this is a landmark game for Iowa St against a 3-4 Texas team?

great upset

Because if Iowa State wins a game against Texas it is something to crow about regardless of current programs state of affairs - reverse that and if Iowa State loses to Texas it is how it should be no story there really for either team.

Exactly.  To the kids, some games are big games, regardless of whether that team isn't very good that particular season.  For instance, Michigan was pretty bad last year but I'm sure to the kids at Minnesota, beating them was a huge deal.  And whether we like it or not, in the Big 12, Texas is a team other schools love to hate, regardless of records.

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
