Deserving of 100k+ subs just amazing work
Great video. The funny thing is if this was 2024, this wouldn't even be a scandal. We can say NIL but lets be honest: It's complete BS that players never got paid legally until a few years ago. CFB has ALWAYS been big business, off the backs of poor kids. They always should of been compensated. But here's the thing to some who clearly aren't paying attention: SMU was told numerous times to stop the slush fund (a fund going all the way TO THE FUCKING GOVERNOR of TX). They gave the NCAA the middle finger every single time and thus NCAA were fed up and killed them. You can get mad at that and get mad at other programs for illegal acts but escaped the death penalty, but the other programs actually stayed out of trouble. SMU didn't and thus were punished swift and fierce with the death penalty. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY they were given the death penalty. They just wouldn't stop. Maybe they should of simply listened and be wise moving forward like other schools did after getting in trouble by the NCAA. Not hard to figure out. Great video as always, Empire. Keep up the outstanding work!!!
This video made me think of Kansas State. We all know what they did under Dan Snyder, and for the past thirty years or so, they've been a consistently competitive program. But that followed eighty plus years of utter futility, to the extent that they were the statistically worst program in Division I history up to 1989. If they could turn things around, anyone can.
21:24 PURDUE MENTIONED
What I heard: Blame basketball! [my team] sucks because my school puts all the sports money into those lanky hoop-shooters! aaaargh!
My dad had season tickets to UW in 2008, lost his job to the recession near the start of the season, but still kept the tickets/tyee donation to keep his spot in the stadium. I was 10 and joined him in attending ALL of these games. As an adult I can hardly imagine the black spot that year left on his soul inside and outside of Husky stadium.
watching this video from my dorm room at iowa state university go cyclones
I'm surprised you didn't mention the second worse ACC team. Those boo devils have been great lately
Me, a Rutgers fan... like the squidward window meme looking out at everyone having a good year and then seeing us be a stupid decision away from a ranked win this year at least...
I’m so confused why 1980’s Iowa state is wearing red and yellow helmets AT THE SAME TIME
What’s funny is nobody in the big 12 would consider Iowa State the worst. At all
Wake Forest was so beaten down this year, they got boat raced by Ole Miss, and decided that was enough, and cancelled the return trip to Oxford in 2025. I wouldn't say that is rock bottom, but it's pretty damning when it happens
Lets go Indiana win the playoff. That'd be great. 😅
It's weird growing up in ACC country that I always think of Duke as the bottom feeder over (under?) Wake Forest. Duke had a 55 year streak without a bowl win. The lows of the 90s/00s were so bad.
Great video as always but i feel like this year is an anomaly personally for the smaller schools. My reasoning being I'm an Arkansas fan for now at least they try my patience thats for sure but unfortunately with this new era of NIL it's making schools like ours become feeder teams for the bigger schools in our conference. Essentially Arkansas Kentucky and Vanderbilt may do well one year and seem to be building momentum but with players being able to transfer every year it makes the best players from those teams seek better deals with Alabama Georgia Lsu Ole miss etc. Ultimately leaving us high and dry and having to rebuild year after year. Arkansas alone has seen close to 30 trasfers and while some may say its a culture issue and that may be true. We're not the only ones experiencing that I believe teams like Kentucky are as well. So it seems to just be the influence of NIL and the transfer portal in my opinion at least. Don't wanna make this seem like I'm hating on your opinion I think you make the best college football content personally.
Bro you didn’t HAVE to lead off with my clones lol #RollClones 🌪️
With that being said, if you find yourself looking for an underdog in a world of big money & major brands, pick the cyclones! A passionate fanbase that loves the team and fans. Stop by and tailgate, tell the people you meet your visiting and I’ll bet ya you never drink your own beer.
Vanderbilt doesn't have an athletics department, technically. In 2003, they moved it under their Division of Student Life. It's weird.
Thank you so much for highlighting my Beavs!! Not a lot of coverage understandably.
Honerable mention to Kansas St. Worst record all time until the 90s.
These are so well produced, you deserve way more subs.
Pop Warner coaching at ISU was a twist 🤯 Also, I had no idea that ISU is considered the worst team the original seven Big XII schools! I mean, even better than Kansas??
Might want to look at K-State before Snyder.
I would say a honorable mention belongs to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights .492 all time Winning %. Yeah Vandy had some good seasons with James Franklin at the helm which is how he got the Penn St job.
Growing up in Bloomington I never ever cared about college football because we were so embarrassingly bad my entire life. This team has absolutely vaulted my interest in CF as a whole and its been great
My dad bet about $75 at the beginning of the season that IU would make the playoffs. We got our 10K payout last Tuesday.
High quality channel.
I'm surprised the shamecocks didn't make the list.
Correction Kansas state is probably the worst of the big 8/12. Petty sure Kansas state is the only conference opponent ISU has a winning record against. Problem is Dan Snyder raised their program from futility decades ago.
Bill Snyder was the one that saved them, Dan Snyder did the absolute opposite with the NFL's Washington Redskins/Football Team/Commanders.
This is such a good video seriously
Like you said, Oregon State has been through this before. Our fan base is beyond loyal, even in down seasons. We had multiple sold out home games this season for a very average team. I think the fans just know there’s a bright future ahead, all things considered
22:11 bros phone went off while recording😭
That's real shit.
Amazing video as always
Always a good day when EMPIRE uploads another CFB video
Tom Arth finally having some success with the Steelers! Good for him
Christmas came early wow, thanks empire !
It is crazy watching this December 2024 where they were picked as the last at large bid for the CFP
as a wake forest fan i’ve been spoiled w the 6 bowl games😢
UA-cam is undefeated for saving my life. Right when I had no clue what I was doing, Empire uploaded ,, yes!.
2:18 I know what that feels like. My alma mater, Augustana in Sioux Falls, SD, was BY FAR the smallest school in the Division II North Central Conference, after Morningside dropped down to NAIA; in the early 2000s, Augie was 1700 students, while the next-smallest, University of South Dakota, was around 7000 & SDSU (yes, the same SDSU which is the 2-time FCS Champion) was around 8000; the largest school in the conference was St. Cloud State with 15,000. Augie just wasn't big enough to consistently compete with the larger schools in our conference in football & men’s basketball. My freshman year, 1997, Augie actually BEAT SDSU in football, & my senior year (2000-01), Augie won BOTH men’s basketball games against SDSU, in Sioux Falls & in Brookings!
Every video smack I swear
That Iowa State playoff game was a vomit-inducing tragedy
As an Indiana fan I never understood why people liked college football until now. This is fun
came to youtube searching for something to watch while i roll up. *new EMPIRE drops* *search concludes*
Aw yeah Papa Empire back with yet another banger
14:37 don't tell me that was Chad Ochocinco 😂.
that team also had tj houshmandzadeh the beavs had the bengals 2000s receiving core in that season
@99TS yeah Ocho talked about it on nightcap, and he told this story of when he dropped it at the 1. 😱🤣
It's always nice to see my Beavers 🦫 talked about. In any context really
Who wrote your script? "Respite" does NOT rhyme with "despite."
No mention of Wake Forest being bad getting immortalized in the song "Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan? Missed opportunity.
Iowa fan, I had a front row seat to a lot of ISU’s 1982-99 misery. Without a trace of hyperbole, they were easily in the running for worst major conference program of all time. To see what they’ve done under Campbell is truly remarkable, I don’t know if the general college fan has any idea or appreciation for it. Hell, sometimes I wonder if ISU fans themselves appreciate it! State of Iowa has extremely challenging demographics as far as building a winning FBS program. State population has essentially flatlined for something like 70 years with TWO FBS programs to support (one of the two, Iowa, definitely hogging most of the glory, historically). Yet, there they are, playing for the Big XII title, damn near a playoff team. Incredibly impressive.
@nickhill934: Hang on to Matt Campbell as dearly as You can! Two other guys with The Cyclone Program did very well later on. Johnny Majors won The 1976 Natty at Pitt with Heisman Trophy Winner Tony Dorsett at RB. And speaking of Dallas Cowboys, a former Assistant in Ames eventually became the first Head Coach to win both a National Championship and a Super Bowl. His name of course is Jimmy Johnson. Then there's Matt Campbell himself who nabbed a couple of Rings while helping guide D3 Superpower Mount Union to two of their overall TWELVE Natties in just over three Decades!😂🤷♂️🏈B.W.
Once the season ends we have to know where the formula :tm: would rank the best and worst teams
the child like joy i get knowing i can sit down after work and watch new empire
