    Prediction for Baylor Kick Time

    Hate, Hate, Hate 11AM games for the simple reason that tailgating is substantially cut short. Lots open at 5AM, so have to be in line by 4:00 AM to get our normal spot, and then all of our sane friends will not show up till 9:00-10, so makes for a very small tame group. Really only get 1 good...

    Grass Lots?

    This whole thread brings up an interesting predicament... I was planning on having a "backyard" tailgate just to make the game more fun, and mimic what I normally setup... however, I normally setup in a parking lot, not grass... Now I have to consider moving to the driveway... Does anyone know...

    NCAA and Big 12 Ticket Refunds

    Has there been any formal communication from ISU? I have not seen anything, and I purchased through the Cyclone Club.

    And from the "I've heard this before" rumor mill ...

    Let's quit fooling ourselves... We all know what needs to be done here... Jettison WV, and form a new Conference I-35... we pick up Minnesota, Wichita St, and UTSA, and form 2 divisions in the new 12 team conference... maybe add Minnesota-Duluth and Emporia St for a 14 team super conference...

    Chuba

    Over. Easily. Hubbard is a freak, and has NFL written all over him. Forget his stats (which are impressive) and watch his games - he simply does not go down (leads Big 12 in forced missed tackles). He will go over 100 easy. If they gave him 50 carries a game they would probably be undefeated...

    ISU Favored by 10.5 vs. Okie State

    This will be a close game. OkSt is a good team that has handed wins to everyone - they were not really beat in those losses. They are better than Baylor. With their freak running back Hubbard (he is a much faster version of Montgomery), they can control a lot of the time in this game if they do...

    Bowl or Bust

    Umm.. Gee.. Thanks Gladys. FYI, I have been an active reader on this site for many, many years. Just because I do not post on *this* site much, does not really mean anything, other than I choose not to. Your 1700 posts in 30 months is impressive. I think at 2000 posts you get a free mug and...

    Bowl or Bust

    It should go without saying, but for some reason needs to be stated here... Anyone, in any field, that makes $1M+ a year, is held to a much greater level of results. If CPR made only $50K, then yeah, just getting a team on the field and winning a game or 2 would suffice. But if you are a CEO...

    Where does Sam Richardson rank in the Big 12?

    You could change this entire thread to "Who has the best O-Line"? (note, Oklahoma is the glaring exception here...) If you count the number of O-Line from each school to get All-Conf honors last year, the lines would rank: Okl - 5 (yes, their entire line) TCU - 3 Bay - 3 KSt - 3 TxT - 3...

    Bilas: Improving the NCAA tournament

    If the NCAA wanted to make the tourney better and truly crown the best team in the country the winner, they would drop it back to 32 teams - no automatic bids, and hold a double elim tourney. That would result in the very same number of games as the current format. It would also give quality...

    Big 12 Tourney Predictions

    I would give mine away for free to any non-KU fans if ISU is not in the championship game... rather spend the day elsewhere in KC having fun on Sat. We currently have nose-bleed seats right now, so I am hoping to pick up much better cheap ones from some of the other teams prior to the Fri/Sat...
