weakest OOC schedule award
2 years ago Texas Tech rattled the panes with a jaw-dropping load of shite, last year ATM baffled the world with it's stay-puff schedule (whaddup Fran? shooting your woulda-shoulda-coulda mouth off at Big XII media day)....but this year i nominate Kansas.
Central Michigan, Southeastern Louisiana, Toledo and Florida International.
eat your heart out SEC ballsucking homer. not even mid 90's Bill Snyder had the 'nads to yank like this.
Mark Mangino and the KU AD, this bud's for you. i hope you fucking pussies lose to Toledo again.

That is weak by anyone's standards.
That is what I like about UofH (Houston), they always schedule a competitive Non-Conference schedule. Here is their non-conference schedule over the past few years:
2000
Texas
LSU
Rice
2001
Rice
Texas
TCU
Georgia
2002 - Not as strong as their other years, but still respectable
Rice
UL Lafayette
Texas
TCU
2003
Rice
Michigan
UL Lafayette
Miss. St.
2004
Rice
Oklahoma
Miami
2005
Oregon
Sam Houston St.
Miss St.
2006
Grambling St.
Oklahoma St.
Miami
UL Lafayette
2007
Oregon
Colorado St.
Alabama
Texas Soutern
UofH always has a powerhouse on their Non-Conference schedule which is great, but what I'd wish Briles and the AD would do is schedule the respectable teams from the major conferences like South Carolina, Texas Tech, Mizzou, Purdue, Arizona St., NC St., etc. Those teams make bowl games and would make the Coogs schedule respectable enough and realistic enough to have a chance at having an undefeated non-conference schedule. Obviously the ultimate thrill is to schedule a home game against a powerhouse and rush the field after a historic upset, but most of those powerhouses only agree that the Coogs play on their turf. Hopefully, after this season, the Alumni will open their wallets to add more seats to Roberston Stadium so it can become a 40,000 seat capacity. Maybe that would entice more powerhouses to come down here and play since the game check will be respectable. We'll see.

KU is a bad team, they lost a ton of talent on defense 2 years ago and realised unless they load up on puffers they wont be seeing any bowl games or .500 records soon. its bad, but u have to do something to try and improve the program. Th KU fans dont give a shit about football, except 2 times a year, vs Mizzou and vs KST. other than that its basketball season all year long. he's gotta do what he has to do. no reason to schedule tcu and byu and take asskickings, u can those asskings during trips to ou,neb,mu,tejas,atm,tech.
if that was mizzou schedule, i think u could have more of a problem, but KU needs all the wins they can get, they are in major transition.

you guys backed out of playing Iowa and lost to Troy.
3-3 against KU is not something to brag about. especially when they are your "rival" and suck out loud every year in football.
that said: i pull for Mizzou against Kansas most of the time. you guys are such pussies sometimes....you don't even get what winning is all about. its foreign to your constitution.

KU's sched is rather pussified but not surprising since Mangino needs to be at or above .500 to keep his job. As far as KU being a basketball-school goes I think KU-fan would embrace the football-team if they really got things going. Like Nebraskans for teams other than UNL-football they tend to be more fair-weather, only getting behind a team that is getting things done. We've crammed 'em in for Creighton basketball, Neb-volleyball, and Neb-baseball because those teams won. I think KU-fan would do it for football if they got something to look forward to. Eventually Mangino will have to do more than play a Bill Snyder-sched to struggle into the Independance Bowl. I hope he does, I'm tired of the north being the little sister in the 12.

ive been on here bitching about pinkel being a pussy. for fucks sake, he canceled a series with UCLA, why the fuck would you do that? Its not like your playing USC. He canceled IOWA, because he said the program wasnt ready, and he needed those wins against ohio u and murray st to get to bowl. Instead of trying to schedule a big school, they scheduled SEMO for next year. if he dotn go 9-3 or better i will drive the uhaul to his front lawn.
doesnt matter what the records or whos the best, when MU-KU play, its on even keel, and anyone can win. KU fucked up playing at arrow head. they lost home advantage in lawrence and will now get pole axed.

There is a reason that Cougar High can only get those teams to play at their place, and it is the Cougar's fault. Remember 2001? Cougar High has a contract with Texas which calls for Texas to be given 30,000 seats for the game in Houston. Cougar High decides to play this game at Robertson and brings in temporary bleachers that are used at Indy races and golf events and has them erected around the outside of the stadium. Texas is given all these seats to fullfil the contract. Then the Wed before the game Cougar High decides that the stands are unsafe and will not allow them to be used for the game. Cougar High then tried to get the contractor to remove them so that the national game on ESPN won't show all these empty seats. The contractor told them to go F@#K themselves and they stayed. Texas contacted the Astrodome who agreed to host the game, but Cougar High still said no.Obviously the ultimate thrill is to schedule a home game against a powerhouse and rush the field after a historic upset, but most of those powerhouses only agree that the Coogs play on their turf.
The game goes off and Texas kills UH with Texas fans still outnumbering Cougar Fans despite "bleacher gate." Apparently Cougar Fan was happy to sell off their tickets instead of seeing their team get killed. ESPN spoke at length about the empty bleachers and shows many pictures of the empty stadium.
The following Monday, Texas demanded payment for breach of contract. Cougar High ended up paying Texas a huge amount of money for not fullfilling the contract. Cougar High then tried to sue the bleacher contractor saying they were unsafe to occupy. Cougar High lost that one too. The next year when Cougar High again played Texas in Austin, Texas didn't have to pay Houston a dime for that game.
The kicker to the whole thing was De Loss signing a 10 year deal with Rice later that season for all sports, replacing Houston on the Texas schedule.
Any wonder why Cougar High can't get teams to play them at Robertson?
It will be a long time before Roberston is expanded. Future football schedules with Cougar High call for the games to be played at Reliant. No way UH expands their stadium when the city already has three 65K plus stadiums. Let's not forget that Robertson was originally an HISD stadium until purchased by UH in the 70's. Prior to that Cougar High played their games at Rice Stadium. Nope, Robertson is about as big as it will get.Hopefully, after this season, the Alumni will open their wallets to add more seats to Roberston Stadium so it can become a 40,000 seat capacity. Maybe that would entice more powerhouses to come down here and play since the game check will be respectable. We'll see.

Not a proud moment in Cougar football. I really hated the whole thing and you are right about that being a reason for powerhouses not coming down here. But that only proves my point more that Robertson Stadium is a great HOME venue for the 2nd teir schools such as Clemson, Ok State, Michigan St, etc.. I've been to games at Reliant where UofH plays their ESPN games against the likes of Oregon and Miami and the stadium is only half filled. Its quite obvious UofH doesn't have the following needed in order to fill Reliant Stadium when those powerhouses come to town. Its not a good atmosphere by any means and I wish they would NOT move the ESPN games to that venue.Left Seater wrote:There is a reason that Cougar High can only get those teams to play at their place, and it is the Cougar's fault.

However, if the Coogs gain the respect from the powerhouses once again, then Robertson stadium can work and it would create that exciting college atmosphere (see Okla St. and Miss St. games last year). That plan just won't work with the likes of Texas and Texas A&M because of the geographical situation. The other powerhouses can come to Robertson and still have plenty of tickets for the travelers, but wouldn't sway who the crowd favors. I remember when UCLA played at Robertson back in '98 when it was Cade McNown leading them to National contention. That was a very inetense ballgame where the Coogs played toe to toe with the Bruins for 3 quarters only to have 2 turnovers deep in their territory that helped the Bruins pull away for a 42-24 win. The point is, Robertson Stadium can host a game with a big powerhouse as long as it isn't Oklahoma, Texas, or Texas A&M. Will it ever happen? Probably not.

As a 'zou fan I have a long appreciation for OU and their fanbase. GREAT fans, and seriously a class act. That said: Cut 'del some slack.
Seriously, King, you know better: Chuck the records come a bitter rival. Missouri-Kansas dates to the Civil War... And a huge reason why the Tigers will NEVER bolt for the Big 10.
Mind if I squirrel that one away for the next time OSU knocks off your vaunted Sooner juggernaut, aka '01 and '02? Not to mention Sooner escapes in '04 and '06...King Crimson wrote:

Our non-conference schedule....
"at" Northern Illinois (game at Soldier Field will be 90% Iowa fans and it's a sellout)
vs Syracuse
at Iowa State
vs Western Michigan (game in Novemeber after Big-10 season)
Northern Illinois, Syracuse and Iowa State will not win more than 9 games combined and I'd take that to the bank. Western Michigan should be a MAC contender, and this game scares me. Granted, we don't know how Iowa will finish the season and what bowl implications will be on the line but playing a quality mid-major after finishing up the Big-10 season smells of trap game. It's very possible Iowa could stroll into this game with a 9-2 record and exit with a 9-3 record if they don't play this game like it's the last game of the Big-10 season. A win and a loss could be the difference between a trip to the CapitalOne Bowl or a trip to the Champs Sports or Outback Bowl.

Yeah, a win is a win, but it ain't like your boys ran away and hid from the 'pokes. As a huge favorite in this series, perennial national power OU managed to cover the spread exactly twice against OSU in the new millennium, while losing the game outright to their lesser opponent on two occasions.King Crimson wrote: true.

That kind of attitude will get you Baylor in Norman again this year, King....

After losing last year I look for Mangino to bring his A-game in 07, he has to against Mizzou and KSU to stay in decent standing. Giving-up your home-game to play in Arrowhead is kinda dumb. I can see making it a yearly thing but why just give-up your home-field advantage?
