I was wondering if ISU could get Tubberville, who has proven to be
a highly successful coach at a school that plays second-fiddle to
another in-state school and plays in a tough conference, both things
that Chizik hasn't yet done.  Anyway, that might be sort of funny.
I wonder if it has happened before.
