ISU points per game average

The following attachment looks at ISU's & their opponents points per game average since 1987. Initially it to take a deeper dive to see just how inept our offense has been compared to our history, and on the flip side, how much stronger our defense has been. Obviously one of the first things I've noticed is while our offensive ppg is obviously sh*t, historically it could be and has been much worse. Second thing I'd like point out is we might be the only power 5 team to actually be currently averaging more offensive ppg & less opponent ppg vs conference foes compared to the non-con. I'm sure it change as we start facing off against the tougher members of the Big 12, but still surprising nonetheless. Third thing is Campbell still has the highest offensive ppg average and lowest opponent ppg average of any of the 4 previous head coaches (not particularly a high bar all things considered). So as we get ready to stare down the Sooners I'd like everyone to remember just how bad we used to play in this game vs since Campbell came to ISU:

Kids - School Grades

Our oldest is in 7th grade this year, the first year they actually assign letter grades. Before, it was just the fall, winter, spring standardized testing results.

How do you/did you approach balancing a push for good grades with just doing their best? What were suitable grades for your kids?

Our kids are incredibly intelligent but struggle with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression so there's a bit of a balance act we have to figure out and just realized as the first grades came in that we hadn't figured that out yet.

National Coordinator of Officials Steve Shaw says FG in Ohio game was "no good"

I just thought to bring closer on the matter, you folks would be interested to know that Steve Shaw, the national coordinator of officials, has reviewed the "controversial" FG attempt against OHIO and concluded that the officials were correct. It was no good.

You can see his analysis here (starting at the 4:42 mark):

I'll be rooting for you guys for the rest of the season. Nice seeing you take down Okie State on Saturday.

Friday OT #2 - Dichotomies and Superlatives

Follow me on this one - I am not sure it is going to make sense.

I had a woman stood next to me this week at a mixer. Very nice lady, we chatted about the weather and other random niceties.

From the outside, I realized as we got a few glances, we must have looked incredibly different. She was legitimately well over 7 foot; I am 5’2” in shoes. Her hair is stick straight, mine is super naturally curly.

It made me think of how people would boil me down to compare me to others, and what one- or two-word adjectives they’d use.

Physically - short, fair, curly haired
Personality - dry/sarcastic, independent, stubborn

If someone had to boil you down to five or six adjectives to describe you, what would they say? How would they compare you against someone else?

Password Managers

Do you use one? Which one do you use? Do you use it to generate PWs for you?

My wife has been asking for me to list out our usernames/pws in case something were to happen to one of us. I decided to use BitWarden, it's free version seems fairly robust. I am surprised at how many places we have logins for, back in the day we had to memorize phone numbers, now I know only a few. Seems that brain power is now used for username/pw info.

Longhorn Network will be gone soon.

Let us take a minute and appreciate that we soon will no longer miss games due to the LHN. With the MBB conference schedule being released i couldn't help but notice once again the game @ Texa$$ is on the LHN. I was immediately irritated then realized that should be the last one we have and I was finally relieved.

This got me thinking, does anyone have any data on how many of our games were on the LHN compared to other Big 12 teams? Seems to me we had to have a disproportionate amount but I also don't pay any attention to who is relegated to that monstrosity when it isn't us.
