This post is for those with no skin in this game, who are just curious. I don't think LaCCTiC is perfect, but I believe it provides a solid basis for comparison.
16) 22:52 - transfer; 1st season at CU

40) 23:45 - 7th freshman in the race (first non-Kenyan freshman)
These anti-Carlson threads are tiresome. They provide no new information, and are so clearly written by a small number of people who are very deeply, personally offended and affected by the coaching change at CU. I am sympathetic, but this will be the last Carlson-bash thread of theirs I waste my time reading.
But from the above, it's very clear that Carlson and CU did not choke at Big 12.
