Well that and Cignetti is a once-in-a-generation coach who moved with JMU from the CAA to the Sun belt. The one that built up NDSU was Bohl when he coached there from 2003-2013 and NDSU is now on their 3rd coach since losing Bohl.
At times I work peripherally in academics as a consultant. I've worked with numerous higher ed officials from different universities in Texas (UT, TCU, Baylor, Tech, HBU) over the years. I did not work with Starr directly, but I know Starr ideologically opposed Title IX. He didn't think a school should be legally responsible for conducting investigations of off campus incidents. He felt that should be done by law enforcement and I would tend to agree with that. Schools are neither trained nor equipped to run criminal investigations. That's not how they are built and it's one reason why you see a lot of schools having a tough time dealing with issues. The problem is, his opposition to Title IX created a lack of compliance for his school. Most schools response to something critical will be, "We have no comment at this time other than we are addressing the issue". Baylor's response was infighting, with the result being throwing the school and athletics into the public sphere. TLDR: School administrators often behave like children.
I think you have your years mixed up. 2011 tcu finished 1st in the mwc with a 7-0 in conference record and played Sonny Dykes la. tech team in the Poinsettia bowl , winning 31-24. 2012 was their first year in B12, they finished 4-5 in conference. So first place in the MWC = 5th place in a real conference.
Not sure if I already said this...fuck Bud Adams. Fuck Tagliabue too because he approved the "Retirement" of the Oilers logo and everything. WITF was that? That was some bastard fuck you shit. When the 2nd iteration of the Browns came back - they were the Browns. They didn't shut off the name sake for perpetuity. Oh and fuck the Titans too. They are NOT the Oilers and don't deserve to claim any of the history. TLDR: Fuck Bud Adams and Fuck Tagliabue
Kalen DeBoer: "there is a fine line" between his team's historic 38-3 loss to Indiana in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl and where he wants to be. Also DeBoer:
Any chance you can do us all a favor and go walk around Greenspoint (Houston) at night yelling out racists comments so you can get beat up or shot? Or, to speed up the process, perhaps go to Sunnyside (Houston) and do the same thing? TIA!
