Big Game Bob

[Sparky]

This is such a tired comment. You have to make a tradition - of EXPECTATIONS. Nobody even knew Oregon played football until Bellotti came in and changed expectations. Oregon seized a generation and became a recognized power. Others have come and gone - because its easier to get to the top than stay on top. Those who return to the top simply refuse to accept not being on top.

They playing field is level today. We have to drive out the weakness of low expectations. That door is open, please leave now.

I was able to visit the OSU campus this fall on a game day while I was traveling for work. It's an entirely different atmosphere than any of the other venues I have attended in the Big 10. It's not surprising that they get good recruits.

Same thing with Oregon I would imagine. They became a powerhouse when they started pumping money into the football program and improving their facilities and yes, even uniforms.

All we have to do is really really really want to be a perrenial power with perrenial top recruiting classes.

Both Iowa and Okie hired the best man for the job.

Truth is we'll never know if Stoops would have been a better hire.

Exactly, another what could have been in Hawkeye sports...

Don't look now...but Bobby may be be headed to the NFL with Cleveland.

He's resisted the lure of the NFL before, this may be his last shot. And after the W over Bama...he's hot. Timing is everything.
