If you were Utah, Colorado, Arizona or Arizona St. would you even wait at this point? There is no way the PAC12 comes even close to matching that total. BIG12 would only grow that number with those additions.

"Tinsley wouldn't shower after practices or games. We easily enter or exit the shower, and he would be dressed already exiting the locker room. Once, twice, three times... And Reggie Miller says to the team manager: 'Bring the team rule book, we have to add one change that every player must shower after every training session, especially after every game, otherwise he will be punished.' The first fine was $500, and it would be doubled every other time he didn't take a shower."

"Guess how much Jamal Tinsley paid in fines for not showering? He paid $250,000 in fines because he did not want to shower after practices. It's like he's taking a shower at home; he doesn't want to be naked among everyone... We counted at the end, and he paid $250,000 worth of fines for not showering; in the end, a scandal broke out, and he had to speak with his agent, and his girlfriend."

Outstanding breakdown of each offensive play in the OU game.

Of particular interest, some of the blocking issues. Alignment leading to an extra man in the box. Under center!

I didn't see another thread to discuss the question from today's pod on where they should go when they invade Campustown on Friday night. They'd really like current ISU students feedback on how they'd feel about ~40(?) year old guys at different campus town bars.

As a near contemporary of them, it sounds like a bad idea other than Cafe B, but that's just me. I did have a chuckle about CW's story about feeling awkward about being a bar with the WBB team from a few years ago.

Pete Mundo gives a fairly insightful analysis here in the first few minutes on the league's new tv deal. He is somewhat of a K-State nerd, but his analsysis of the sport is pretty spot on.

This is exactly why we hired Yormark. In a cutthroat era of modern semi pro (I mean college) sports, we needed a grizzled business man who knows the inner workings of media. Our league is in such a bright spot right now, having a AD/Politician type would not have served us well. What I love most about this is Yormark front ran our deal - he got ours done in FRONT of the Pac 12's. He is playing for keeps to keep our league the third most relevant league. If he is going to keep us being the third most valuable league, that's a best case scenario for us as far as I am concerned. Also in the details of this video I think I heard: 1) The top 4 football Big 12 games will be on ESPN /ESPN 2 every week 2) Some basketball games will be picked up by Fox and FS1 for hoops, but the football will be mostly ESPN. This is a great outcome Cyclones. The Pac 12 is officially in scramble mode. This could be a domino that leads to a couple pac 12 schools jumping towards us. Discuss:

The ESPN app is horrible. Why can't it ever remember my login? Every time I try to watch something on it I have to login again. And today I was hoping to watch the NFL game (it's still the Jags and Broncos so I didn't want to that much) and I can log in on my phone fine, but it doesn't recognize that exact same account on my TV.

I wish the Big12 would just drop ESPN and get rid of this garbage product.

Offense

• We are making it so easy for defenses to defend us. Averaging 2 ypc (even less for some rb's we had today) is a recipe for disaster. Teams feast on our 3rd and longs and we do not get to second and manageable and third manageable enough.
• Dekkers: he had a couple really bad picks today, but to me he is not the reason why this offense stinks right now. He is being put in terrible positions with zero run game and I think many qb's would be struggling in his seat right now. No running game makes it impossible for us to score in the red zone. A lot of his throws to Noel and Stanley were on the money today.
• Stanley: one bright spot today, he had a few catches for 90 yards. Actually wish we had another year of him as he does have speed.
• Norton: I won't fully assess until we see some more of him, but he's not ready yet to be RB1 on a good big 12 team
• Brock: I think he's a quality character guy and a team first guy, but he really hasn't looked right since the Ohio game, not much wiggle and he rarely makes a guy miss.
• RB: looking for a RB in the portal (along with an O lineman or 2) seems like a total necessity at this point. Sanders or Silas will be gone i feel.
• If we struggle to run inside, where are the quick pitches outside and more zone read? We do not have the O line right now for delayed handoffs up the middle, it completely stinks. We cannot be this predictable with our run play calls.
• TE: where is Tyler Moore? He's 6"5, 250 lbs and I guarantee a much better athlete than Jared Rus. He should be getting more pt as a run blocking TE. We need a run blocker in at tight end b/c our offensive line is terrible at run blocking now. I feel like he is Dylan Soehner 2.0 but he never sees the field
• OL: Trevor Downing has been a disappointment at center this year. Simmons and Hufford in the past have shown flashes but are not playing well, Remsberg had a bad day at the office, Miller is capable in pass protection. This unit gets an F today. Jeff Myers should be gone.

Defense

• MJ Anderson with another sack, he's arguably been our defensive mvp. Thank goodness he returns next year.
• Will McLaughlin is our next great LB in the program. He has had multiple games now blowing up plays, getting rb's down on first contact. Stud.
• Agree with Campbell in the presser TJ Tampa is playing lights out football right now. If not for two of his pass deflections this game would have been out of reach earlier.
• Lots of good pieces returning on D next year. I do shudder at the thought of a game though where our D breaks in the next few and our offense is playing like they are. Heacock deserves a raise this year.

I'm starting to feel like WVU is our only remaining W on the schedule and even that looks dicey at this point. TTU can score more than us which worries me, TCU could get out of hand, OSU will put up points so I feel like that is an automatic loss.

Really tough halloween weekend and we are almost boxed out of a bowl. This is a set back year. I have the confidence in the staff to build this up again - but we will need to start with some adjustments. Myers and or Manning has to be gone. Make either Manning OL coach or find an elite OL coach out in the free agency market this winter. Scheelhaase maybe deserves a shot at OC, or find a great OC in the market this winter.

Portal wants: 2 offensive line (any position), a WR, a RB. I'm disappointed to be even typing RB but this room has shown me not much at all in Big 12 play. Not seeing anyone with elite speed, great wiggle or the ability to make anyone miss. There have to be backup rb's in the big ten or sec that want more time after the bowl season.

Great class coming in? We will hit the portal hard and offer immediate playing time to some gifted athletes? Team size, speed and talent is going in the right direction? Special Teams will become ...well... special? Margin play will be where it's supposed to be?
This ain't looking good folks. I need a beer and a hug. Mostly beer. Maybe a gummie?

Title

Seems like the golden halo over CMC is getting badly tarnished the season. Is he as great as people on here think?

He had two weeks to prepare that delicacy for Cyclone Nation - he needs to be gone.
