Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Worst of the Big 12 - Big 12 Cob Of the Week(s)

Okay, like I said, I missed last week, so we have two weeks to work with.

Blankman:


Gary Pinkel - Oh sure, you kicked our asses up and down the field, but you knew as well as everyone else that the Gary Pinkel Factor had been absent for WAAYYYY too long.  Wonder if it'll happen again?
::cough::Kansas::cough::

Husker Mike:

Well, I'm not sure who I'd cob up this week:  Pinkel?  Stoops for the fake punt?  Iowa State?  Sherman?  (Gee...he'd get it EVERY week!)

Since we missed last week, I'm going to rehash my choice for UNL students at the Missouri game:

I looked over early in the second half of the Missouri/Nebraska game, and I thought a neutron bomb had gone off in the student section.  The rest of the stadium was still 95% full, but most of the students were history.  Yeah, a few of you stayed around until the bitter end...but very few.  Maybe you were protesting your seat relocation, but the sad truth is Uncle Elmer and blue-haired Aunt Betsy had more impact Saturday night than you did, and they still had a four hour drive home to Broken Bow.  (Even though the walk to your dorm was shorter than the walk to their car...)

Corn Blight:


Mine has to go to Chase Daniel for a fitting two week span. First, you kick our ass in Lincoln for the first time in 30 years. Then you call us dirty. Then, apparently you think this all counts for something because you let the friggin’ Oklahoma State Cowboys come in and ruin your shot at a perfect season.

You let a team coached by a clown goad you into three interceptions, costing you the game, probably the Heisman and potentially a shot at the Big 12 title game. I expect more from you, Chase.

--------------------

Incidentally, Mike did send me his choice last week, and just flat out missed getting this out.

Wow. Lots of Missouri up for this week's award. Well, hell it was their turn. However, I’ve decided that we’ll turn this into a poll from now on, and try to get it out on Tuesday.

a question about Sherman

Please tell me how Mike Sherman’s first year at A&M is different from Gundy’s first year at Oklahoma State or Dan Hawkins’ first year at Colorado.

As I’ve pointed out before, most coaches don’t do well in their first season in the Big 12. Sherman has the misfortune of debuting in arguably the strongest season in the Big 12’s history.

history

For me, it’s not about what Mike Sherman is doing at Texas A&M. This goes back to the Green Bay Packers. He was a good coach there, but his general management skills after a while caught up with him (Ahmad Carroll). He had some great players, but the ones (Ahmad Carroll) that he chose that sucked, he couldn’t give up, the arrogant bastard.

At this point, I think we’re done abusing Sherman unless he does something really really dumb, like Franchione dumb. It’s not as much fun anymore.

Plus, for crying out loud, Byrne makes an ex-NFL coach hire after everyone but Pete Carroll has faiied pretty miserably?

well

at least Byrne didn’t hire someone from Nebraska or some other former job he’s held.

That is usually his standard MO.

Look at our basketball hire, for example.

he

got a helluva baseball coach from us.

I’m not complaining about that…. people in the baseball program had (well, still have) a lot of respect for Childress.
