<p>But you should know somebody&#8217;s got Stoops&#8217; back.  <a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/67063/weis-stoops-has-a-point-in-sec-criticism" target="_blank">Mr. Decided Schematic Advantage has weighed in</a>.  (Is there something about being a former Gator assistant coach that&#8217;s conducive to whining about this?)  And let&#8217;s face it &#8211; Weis at least has the currency of perspective here.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We were the only team in the whole league that didn’t play in a bowl game. It was us. We were the sole member,&#8221; Weis said. &#8220;You talk about bottom-feeders, you think Iowa State was a bottom-feeder?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Now there&#8217;s you some conference pride, buddy!</p>
<p>Nobody knows suck like Charlie Weis knows suck.</p>
