Not sure. I don't really follow the Hog's scene online that much. I listen to local sports radio quite a bit, but I don't actively post at any of the sites.

So, goEMAW is The Onion of college football message boards?

I can live with that.

I have to admit, that thread made me fall in love with goEMAW.

K-State’s Bill Snyder nearly unanimous pick as AP Big 12 coach of year after 10-win season

By Associated Press, Updated: Tuesday, December 6, 10:15 AM

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State coach Bill Snyder is the runaway pick as the AP’s Big 12 coach of the year after leading the Wildcats to a 10-2 finish and an appearance in the Cotton Bowl.

Picked to finish eighth in the Big 12, the Wildcats instead finished eighth in the BCS after beating ranked teams Baylor and Texas and losing only to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. They were snubbed by the Sugar Bowl for two teams with lesser resumes, but will play Arkansas in a high-profile Cotton Bowl matchup.

Snyder was selected on 16 of the 17 ballots turned in by AP members who regularly cover the league. Cowboys coach Mike Gundy received the only other vote.

It’s the third time Snyder has been the Big 12’s coach of the year, but the first since he came back following a brief retirement. He was also the AP’s national coach of the year in 1998.

I'm surprised they gave it to him after the hit playing a bowl with Arkansas has done to their reputation.

And I have a Woot! as well:

Looks like Paul Petrino is headed back to Arkansas to be our OC in the wake of Garrick McGee's departure.

Early voting saved him.

ouch...if VK finds a job Illinois may not have a staff for the bowl.

Now sources saying that Willy Robinson has been fired. Crazy move to make prior to a bowl game (will the players play as hard for his replacement?), but I ****ing hated his defenses. Reminded me of the old G-Rob bend don't break defenses that the Chiefs fielded during the Vermeil era.

I don't know much about Arkansas (other than they are small time). So, their defense sucks? Offense is pretty good?

Pretty much. Defense is horrible, especially against running quarterbacks, though they've managed to come through in the clutch a few times. Often have much better second halves than first halves.

I'm thrilled if they get rid of Willy Robinson prior to the bowl, as he doesn't seem to know how to scheme against a mobile QB.

Petrino to UT must be true.

DC now scared of ZombieKlein.

So, OC,DC, and ST's all gone.
