Mavric Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Millard Fillmore. "What's he doing on this list? Was he ever President? That wasn't just a thing they made up just to name schools on television shows after him? Really? He was President, of our country? Why is Dan Hawkins running away from his body with a dagger?" COLORADO Grover Cleveland. Big, unremarkably remarkable, forceful, and suffered horrendous defeat before reclaiming the title out of sheer will and tenacity. Once wrote: "sensible and responsible women do not want to vote" in Ladies Home Journal, which specifically is the most 1891 Jonathan Chait thing ever. MICHIGAN William Howard Taft. Any ambition and talent the man had was overshadowed by his very public battles with self-defeating behaviors. OKLAHOMA. Calvin Coolidge. Kept a low profile and said as little as possible, which allowed him to dodge responsibility for any problems that began during his tenure but did not manifest until after his departure. NEBRASKA..

StPaulHusker Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Bill Clinton. Massive failures, massive comebacks, more massive failures, and a propensity for getting caught with their pants down in so many ways. Prone to bloat. ARKANSAS Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ulysses S. Grant. Spectacularly corrupt, wildly popular, prone to drinking, and known mostly for being good at something else entirely. KENTUCKY Ha ha! These are awesome! +1 Quote Link to comment

Sargon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ronald Reagan. Old. Old school. Kindly. Occasional dry humor. Unpretentious. Focused on the process to win the elusive championship (defeat the evil empire). NEBRASKA 1 Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 COOLIDGE? THEY GAVE US COOLIDGE?!!!! Saw that coming when I first saw the article tweeted this morning. The Do Nothing President, whom most people don't even remember as being a President. Forgotten. Not flattering at all. And not even funny. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 George H.W. Bush. Turned a relatively minor political family into a dynasty only to watch some idiot who'd been stashed in Texas turn it into a disgraceful joke. FLORIDA heh Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 As one poster after the article states Taft should have been Kansas - with likeness to 2 of their recent coaches: Quote Link to comment

Unless they are referring to once Tom left, all hell broke out - we were no longer championship caliber?? If that is the case, unfair slam on Tom. Quote Link to comment

Pasadena Husker Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Herbert Hoover, cross dresser COLORADO !!! i believe you are thinking of the former FBI director J Edgar, not Herbert. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Herbert Hoover, cross dresser COLORADO !!! i believe you are thinking of the former FBI director J Edgar, not Herbert. It's a little known fact that Mr. Hoover would sometimes dress up as Mr. Oreck. Quote Link to comment
