Title: Do we have the worst athletic department in the Big 12?
Post by: Pete on January 12, 2011, 10:19:28 PM: ....before you consider this question, rule out all sports except for football and men's basketball, because these are obviously the only ones that matter.

You can make a very compelling argument that we are the very worst in the Big 12. Even worse, you can make an even more compelling argument that we are getting worse.

Better current facilities. Better football record as of late. Better home attendance in basketball even when terrible. ....there's an argument to be made on each side.

So failing that, we have second-to-worst locked up with a bullet.

I'd argue Tech is in a free fall right now and trying hard for the #12 spot. Save the "Tech won 8 games and a bowl" argument. They beat Northwestern in their bowl and their best win was Mizzu. They are nowhere near where they were in recent years and looks like they are on a steady decline. The basketball team is beyond horrible and getting worse by the minute. That puts us as the third worst program in the league.

We'll be fine. He's bringing in $$$, which is the #1 job. We'll have better facilities, so if Frank needs replacing it'll be okay...he's already shown you can recruit and win at KSU.

Football will be okay, too, if he can deal with Snyder. Plenty of up-and-comers who will take it for at least a couple of years. Lots of upheaval in college football right now...the important thing is to have an AD who can read the curves. I feel better about Currie reading those than Weiser or Krause.
