This is the Truth. There is only so much you can do without paying players. Texas runs the best clean program in the nation - but you can't compete with SEC programs - they play by different rules.

I don't think so, the expectations haven't been too high for them in recent years. They actually over-achieved for once this past season. Well, at least until that OB debacle. :lol:

Texas still has the talent that should have them competing with anybody in the country. Mack Brown is a middle of the road coach that happens to be a great recruiter. He should have a lot more national titles by now.
IMO though if you want the most overatted program in college football, the winner has to be LSU. What a joke of a program. So damn lucky they even got to the title game last year. I bet LSU would be a middle of the road MWC program. CSU could probably smoke LSU, no contest.

Your'e right, 13 wins in a season is a real embarrassment. Tiger fans should hide their heads in the sand. Maybe one day the MWC will invite LSU, and they can leave that p($$y SEC, and play a real schedule.

But apparently CSU can, what with it's huge TV deal and gigantic stadium and all.

Absolute pathetic play from LSU, horrible. If I were to rank the programs in the state of Louisiana it would be the following
1. Tulane
2. LA-L
3. LA-M
4. LSU
5. LA tech
No NDSU? They'd obliterate LSU and would have scored 55 on Bama's D.
after 28 years at CU and 20+ natl chmps, i went on to LA Tech. Beat those ****ers at #8LSU my 2nd year in and am sitting at 7-1 (stupid SJSU).
LA-L DEAD MEN!!!
LA-M DEAD MEN!!!
Tulane?...... DEAD!!!!!!
now. where is mrs wormer?
i have not played them yet at La Tech.

That's probably true. The amount of money smaller programs receive for "Pay to Play" games is usually directly proportional to the level of ass-kicking and embarrassment they'll be forced to endure.

UGA would have been my first guess. ATM seems more "underachieving" based on their recruiting (which also may be inflated at times)....but i thought they would be pretty good last year but took a big step back on D and blew some big leads several weeks in a row and that was that.
no one has commented how Nebraska is basically the most overrated in TWO conferences. hehe.
discounting their own fans estimation of themselves in an existential sort of way, i wouldn't say UT is overrated...but, i do think they were clearly the 2nd best team in the vintage Big XII. they won the first conf championship and then only two after that. wha? in 16 years? i'd be more impressed with UT's total win numbers if they played some deece OOC games and traveled outside the state of Texas OOC instead of rehashing former SWC cupcake "rivalries".

Because they always make it to a BCS game. Granted, they lose the game, but they're usually there...
They are 6-3 in BCS Bowls... 5-3 if you don't want to count the vacated game vs Arkansas. I'd say that's pretty good. And when did Colorado win a BCS Bowl?:lol::lol::lol:
Teams that choke in BCS Bowls:
Virginia Tech, Florida State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame.
Hey whatever happened to UW being in the dance like you said?
The Selection Committee being a joke happened. Oh well... at least we are still playing.

Even though you're a troll, I'm a little embarrassed for you.
Embarrassed? When was your last Sweet 16? Last Regular Season Conference Title?

You're missing my point. I'm embarrassed for you because of the lame argument to which you retreated.
Last year when many pundits across the nation felt we'd been snubbed by the NCAA Tournament, we still experienced relative success in the NIT. But, when the question went out "would you rather win the NIT or go one and out in the NCAA" we nearly all agreed that we would have preferred to go one and out in the NCAA.
Your argument seemed desperate and sad. That's why I'm embarrassed for you.
I don't think any of us are in the mood for this right now. Even though you are trolling for an emotional response and some posters like tini and BCS will give you that response. I just don't have the hatred for Washington or its fans as much as any of our former dysfunctional family.
Congrats on still playing in the NIT. Win the whole thing! Represent the PAC-12 well. We are going to be the best MBB conference next year.
Snubbed? You had an 8-8 conference record and Finished Tied for 5th in your conference. That's much different than Finishing 1st outright and going 14-4 in conference.

And yet we went dancing, beat UNLV, got loads of national press, etc while
UW got none of that.

But that's not what we're discussing, 'tini. That's what Dub wants to discuss. If I remember correctly, the topic at hand is how lame Dub's argument was when he said, "at least we're still playing."
You've got to admit that even you feel a little sorry for him, don't you?
You beat UNLV? You want a cookie? I'm sooooo jealous.
Yeah. I don't think he really knows what he's trying to argue and won't admit it.
