Every AD has one in case of tragedy. And we are there. Discuss.

Thank you all for the job you do on here to keep the rif-raf under control! After taking a short cruise over to Go Iowa Awesome and reading things on this thread, It must be anything goes. Just like Iowa's football program, it's a dumbster fire. Thanks again and hope you all have a great new year!!

Given that Memphis has 4 10-win seasons in the past 10 years, has 10 consecutive bowl appearances, has wins over ranked UCLA, Ole Miss, Miss ST, UCF, Cincy, Houston, and SMU, is putting $750 million into facilities, and has a basketball program with vastly superior history to ISU……,what is the basis for the feigned superiority expressed on this board?

Saturday’s game showed Memphis with dominant line play, superior speed, and skill levels above ISU

We respect all opponents; maybe that’s something many in your fan base should consider?

With all of the angst about bowl games not being good, dying, etc.; what would you do to make them better?

• Eliminate Bowl Game Contracts with Conferences = let bowl games pick any teams they want. It's like opening a bowl game portal.
• Have the Bowl Games and/or TV pay players to play = self-explanatory.
• Play more Bowl Games in actual CFB Stadiums = this could go in a number of directions. I was thinking it would be cool to go to a bowl game in some of the iconic venues in college football that are in warmer parts of the country (e.g. Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Clemson, etc.).
• Play more Bowl Games between Christmas and January 2nd = this would make it easier for fans to go.
• Encourage more off-field entertainment with sponsors like Pop-Tarts = I'm not sure how feasible this is, but part of what makes college football great is its quirkiness. We love MACtion, dumping mayo/french fries/etc on the winning coach, and other things like that. Make the non-game portion more entertaining.

Flag football for men and women is being added to the Olympics in 2024, and that has brought calls for the NCAA to add Women's Flag Football as a scholarship sport. Last month Sens. Rubio and Shaheen sent a letter to NCAA Commissioner Charlie Baker asking him to encourage member institutions to begin creating their own programs.

Currently, there are a few dozen NAIA programs that have formal women's flag football programs, and plans at DIII Atlantic East Conference to start their own programs.

Do you think Iowa State would be willing add flag football? Would you support a flag football program? Does the sport need to grow from the high school level first, or start at the college level to encourage lower level participation?

Would those of you with daughters encourage/have encouraged them to play if the sport was an option?

Understand we have a young D but I’m fed up our 3-deep safety look. Can we please make an adjustment ?!?!

We have allowed 35 and 36 points in past two games.
Zero sacks
Rarely any pressures
Short yardage stack the box!

Williams eventually died on Sept. 12 at the age of 36, and the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Department said he succumbed to "Bacterial Sepsis with Cerebral Abscesses and Necrotizing Lobar Pneumonia due to multiple Dental Caries and retained tooth roots."

Essentially, his brain had pus growing around it after he had severe dental problems to the point where infections spread. Initial tests showed he had brain swelling and infections.

He seems like a genuinely nice human, but he's 15-20 years past his prime... Just move to Florida and retire.. Constant errors all non-con. The play by play guy is really sharp and has to constantly save the broadcast.

Serious question, do they volunteer or pay minimum wage? Because there is no way that is the best we can get...

I’m selling a pair of tickets for the Houston game on 1/9. Section 216 row 13 on the aisle.

$20 each. I have Venmo and can transfer electronically.

Well folks guess I'm batting lead off this yr. @SaraV please bring the Narwhals along at your convenience .

Well I wish all RTTers, past, present, and lurkers a great 2023. I hope it exceeds your expectations and if it don't remember we've got each other to lean on.

Apologies if there's already another thread...

IOWA STATE GAME NOTES

We obviously know the O-line has been a glaring problem for years under Campbell. The average fan can see that. I’m hoping that someone with more football knowledge can truly break down what they are doing wrong and what needs to be done to improve?

2:30, Saturday, December 30. 2023.

51 degrees, clear blue skies, and a slight breeze.

Beautiful day to visit the National Civil Rights Museum.
