History[edit]
Special review day at Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ontario ca. 1939-46
MacDonald Institute, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ontario
Ontario farmers increasingly demanded more information on the best farming techniques. Their demands led to farm magazine and agricultural fairs. In 1868 the assembly created an agricultural museum, which morphed into the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph in 1874.[1] Its first building was Moreton Lodge, located where Johnston Hall now stands, which included classrooms, residences, a library, and a dining room. (Several buildings constructed during this time period are still a part of campus life today, including President's Residence, Raithby House, and Day Hall.)
The War Memorial Hall (more generally known as Memorial Hall) is a landmark building built in June 1924 as a lecture hall or theatre at the Ontario Agricultural College to honour students who had enlisted and died in the First World War, and in the Second World War. Two bronze tablets in the Memorial Chapel remembers alumni who died in the First World War and in the Second World War.[2]
Subsequently, the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) became one of three founding colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964. (The other two were the Ontario Veterinary College and the Macdonald Institute.)
The OAC opened on May 1, 1874 with an enrollment of 28 students. The OAC administration was housed in Moreton Lodge until 1931, when the building was torn down to make way for Johnston Hall. The OAC's offices have resided in Johnston Hall ever since. The Canadian-American economist John Kenneth Galbraith earned a bachelor's degree in animal husbandry from the College.
In August 2008 Dr. Robert Gordon was appointed Dean of the Ontario Agricultural College.
Campus[edit]
In 1997, three other agricultural colleges affiliated with the Ontario Agricultural College and the University of Guelph [1]: College d'Alfred, a francophone college in the eastern part of the province at Alfred, Ontario; Kemptville College, founded in 1917 and located at Kemptville, Ontario about 30 minutes south of Ottawa, and Ridgetown College at Ridgetown, Ontario founded in 1922 and located in southwestern Ontario near Chatham. In May 2007, they were renamed Campus d'Alfred, Kemptville Campus and Ridgetown Campus in order to recognize their full integration into the university.[2]

Point being not interested in 4 or 6. Riley gets less with less or something. Ask iDawg
-
Do I think we have a better program than Oregon State?
Probably a wash at this point.
We have more inherent advantages of a program (bigger alumni base, city, university, facilities, recruiting base).
They have an inherent advantage at head coach.
A head coaching advantage can mitigate a lot of other advantages. -
Anyone who wants Craig fucking Bohl to be the next coach at UW needs to bathe in some gas and then turn a blowtorch on themselves.HeretoBeatmyChest said:Nuss or Scott Frost?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Tim DeRuyter, Craig Bohl and Mora. It's one of those 3. Anyone who thinks otherwise should be beaten to death with a heavy club.
11 years at NDSU? With a 3-8 record in year 7? Good god.
That would be the most miserable and deflating hire.

The school looks like it jumped up in conference competetion from Division 2 - from looking at his entry on Wikipedia, it's hard to tell how much of an impact that had on his record.chrisvashon said:

For the last 3.5 years though, his record is 44-7 with 2 National Championships. His team is currently 7-0. -
Go look at Jim Tressell's record at Youngstown State and get back to me. He went 3-8 in year 11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Tresselchrisvashon said:

Bohl won conference titles in his 4th and 5th years at NDSU. He then went through some growing pains when they switched conferences, and he now is coaching a dynasty going for their third championship in a row. Results are results. The guy can coach. I like other candidates as well, but maybe you should save the gas and blowtorch for yourself.
-
Vashon, NDSU moved up to Division 1 in 2004. So basically in a matter of 9 years, Bohl will likely have led the Bison to 3 consecutive national titles.
Look at our amazing accomplishments in the same 9 year span. Shitting the bed repeatedly would be too kind of a description. -

Look at his accomplishment like national titles, beating a BCS opponent this year, his overall W-L record where he has been dominant.
Coaches have a bad year but overall he's been terrific.
