Who was the last team to win a championship with less than a 60 thousand seat stadium? The problem isn't walkons, it's ain't no seats.
1990, both teams claiming a natty (Colorado and Georgia State) had around 50k at the time... so yeah, been a while.

For the record i don't think building a big Iowa Statey crap stadium would fix our woes getting more talented athletes.
Georgia State claims a natty?  :surprised:

I was being facetious. Stadium size and walkons are not relevant at all, and nothing but low hanging bbs fodder.
I figured as much, but i thought it'd be fun to look up that particular stat.

Mueller has been the biggest flop. He's decent on guaranteed pass plays, but dude just gets blown up too often. Love his motor, but sheesh. How he had so many sacks last year, we'll never know...

maybe it's because he's getting doubled more this year since people are game planning for him different.  just spit balling here.

I had no idea you guys had such a walk on problem.

I don't think TCU has had a walk on do something significant in over a decade.

I rarely see him doubled, but I'm also hammered watching games, so.... :dunno:

I notice he was getting doubled, and held, on the play where he got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Yeah, he got tackled and then he lost his mind and got flagged.

Meuller won't play in the nfl.

I do think that his lack of stats is scheme related and the absence of another pass rusher.

If William Powell can make a roster so can Mueller.

Nice logic (you dumbass). I liked Meshak a lot more than mueller and he couldn't make an NFL roster.  Ian Campbell won big xii defensive poy and couldn't make an NFL roster.  Maybe he can play special teams but he'll never be a good pass rusher in the NFL.  He isn't strong or fast.

Yeah, they probably didn't do that to him after he started getting all those sacks last year.

We have the best walk ons in America. Our scholarship athletes need to improve, but there isn't anything wrong with landing the occasional walk on that ends up being all conference.

yeah, he probably just got lazy this year and decided not to defend his 12 DPOY or All Big 12 or whatever he got

Getting lazy in the offseason sounds much more likely than teams not double teaming him last year when he was a Big 12 DPOY candidate for almost all of conference play.

maybe _Fan can shed some light on this whole did he or did he not get double teamed as often last year.  guess my point is, if we want to criticize playing Schellenberg, Cook, Kleinsorge, etc. I'm all for it, just seems dumb to lump Mueller in there.

Carnes you do realize there's a position in the NFL for undersized defensive ends right? It's linebacker. Draft analyst envision him at middle linebacker.

Everyone likes it just fine.  Its just the odds usually win and KSU FB's main goal should be getting as good as possible, not making something out of relatively nothing.

Fwiw, I don't think Bill plays those guys to be shitty. I think he's around all those practices and he thinks to himself: "This guy might be a shitty walk-on, but he's better than this rough ridin' bust, so here you go Shellenberger".  :dunno:

Maybe ok cat should start watching the games on mute if the announcers make him that mad.  :dunno: Sounds like a personal problem.  :dunno:
