I didn't read the comments that way either. This is a HUGE hire by UCO. I think that if UCO wins, the stands will get closer to capacity. The Bedlam schools will always be the biggest draw, but if the athletic department can do something more engaging for the student body than posting political yard signs on campus saying "basketball game tonight", they might get somewhere. Dorrel knows what a winning culture looks like.
The only issue I had was with NW fans acting like Maryville is a Mecca of COLLEGE FOOTBALL. I will say that NW is the STANDARD of D2 football and rightfully so. However, just because it is close to Iowa, that doen't make it heaven. The posts acting like he would only return to NW would be the equivalent of thinking the only school Meyer would leave Jacksonville for is Ohio State. (I know he didn't "leave" ACU for UCO.)
Acting like the balance of power HAS changed is like USC saying they "changed the world" by hiring Lincoln Riley. It has been said around here that when OU was looking for a coach and Stoops was trying stop the recruiting exodus, "OU is in great shape that it isn't like OU is 4-8, that is what USC is." UCO was 4-7.
A wait and see approach is warranted, but it is exciting to see what is next for the program.Last edited by UCObluejay; 12-06-2021, 07:00 AM.Go Bronchos!

The directional schools are a joke. Just ask BulldogLB. That being said, SEOSU did just embarrass Emporia State yesterday.

That's funny you say that. You guys lost to Emporia. Who southeastern just beat. ECU and SEOSU would have beat UCO for sure this year. Let's not bring up the fact that you guys nearly lost to SNU and canceled the game against Oklahoma Baptist because you knew you were going to lose.Go Bronchos!

As a UCO fan, you have every reason to be excited about the possibilities. As a NW fan, personally, I am happy for AD, maybe a little disappointed that he's in the conference and we have to root against him, and perhaps a little nervous that with the resources at UCO, he'll be able to get it done, but I'll worry about that when it happens. Like PP said, wait and see. I'm sure he'll do a great job and we can acknowledge a shift if it ever does happen.

UCO treated those games like NFL preseason, they played their whole roster. The 08 Lions went 4-0 in the preseason. What's your point?

It's a crazy world! I had heard rumors that AD traded in his old Tri-state Ford pickup for a new Bronco and now he's coaching the Bronchos! ;-)
It's funny reading all of the outlandish comments about what happened to who, when on this MB! Most times I just bite my tongue instead of commenting.
