My column from tonight's game. Hope y'all enjoy it.

FERG: Iowa State was close to pulling off a comeback after going down 21-3 to Kansas on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium.

The thing is, in 2023's version of college football, you have to be damn near perfect.

Tiebreaker points return this year. A reminder regarding tiebreaker points: If your team wins and covers you gain an extra bonus point. If you take a undefeated team who is the underdog you gain the point for them covering plus another bonus point. As the season goes on the number of teams undefeated being a underdog greatly diminish so take advantage while you can.


I will be using ESPN's Lines. Line will be the line at kickoff for tiebreaker points



Rules/How to Play if you are new:

You can only pick teams that are undefeated (they will be bolded).

1. Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
2. Don't pm me the pick, post on here your pick.
3. You can only pick that team ONCE the entire time you are in the game.
4. The goal is to advance and be the last person standing.
5. Only games that have a FBS school facing another FBS school are eligible to be picked.
6. You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch.
7. If your team loses, you are out for the competition.
8. If you skip a week of picks, you are out.
9. You can switch as many times up until the game you have picked officially starts.
10. If you have questions, pm me
11. Post 2 of the thread will have the possible games you can pick.
12. Post 3 will have each player and their previous week's picks.
13. You can't join in during the middle of the season.
    Please include prior weeks picks with your pick for the week.

I am a terrible sleeper apparently, I would say 98% of the time I wake up at some point during the night for 10 minutes to an hour.

I had assumed this was normal my whole life. But last night I asked my wife if she woke up every night, and she said no, and most of the time she sleeps until her alarm goes off. This was literally flabbergasting to me.

Is this true for most people here, that you sleep all the way through the night without waking up at some point?

Just curious if anyone has been dealing with any crazy stuff by selling, moving, etc.

What are everyone's thoughts after watching their first duels with the rule changes? It could be just the opponent, but there seemed to be a LOT more action, which is good. Will be interesting to see how this plays out against tougher competition.

The one thing I hadn't really thought that seems off is staying with 2 points for a reversal. There is often a fine line between a reversal and an escape + TD. However, scoring-wise that is now a difference of 2 points. JFrost had two or three yesterday that could have made that match more interesting.

Section 109, Row 11
Asking $30 a ticket ($60 total)--Sidecourt seats near even with the baseline.

PM if interested.

Didn't see much discussion on this. Outside of the ESPN tournament which is underwhelming compared to our previous few non-con tournaments...woof.

We play one true road game, and its DePaul, before Big 12 play. Not worried about the strength of schedule because we will have plenty of conference opportunities but the last two year's we've had some pretty good challenges and experience in the non-con. Won't get much of that this year.

For real. These Lincoln Riley defenses at SC and OU with Grinch in command are bruuuuuuuutal.

When will JP dig a little deeper in the pockets and buy 60,000 towels for most everyone in the stadium. It looks really cool when everyone in the stadium has them not just the students who are tucked in a corner of the stadium. If you’re going to do this, do it for those of us that pay good money to get into the games. It does help with the atmosphere. I also have season tickets to a pro NFL team. When we arrive to the games, every seat has a towel in it. Not just a couple sections. I watched several college games and the majority of fans had towels not just a few.

I'm trying to transfer a ticket for tomorrow's women's basketball game. I have tried both on the app and on my laptop and it keeps giving me a "processing error".

Is anyone else experiencing this? I've tried logging out and then back in, rebooting my phone, etc. Just wondering if there's something I'm missing.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looking for 4 tickets and possibly parking for the texas game. Taking 2 kids to their first game. Let me know what you have.

I have nothing against him really, but when you run your mouth that much, you damn well better back it up. He said he was the best coach in college football. Called out any reporter that questioned him. Well coach, your team just ran for -7 yards against Oregon st. Negative 7 yards. "We comin'"

Edit: I guess I proved I have something against him. It's his mouth in conjunction with being mediocre to this point.
