    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #11 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

    Defense and transition keeping us in it. Really like the defensive intensity. Still not sure what we are trying to do on offense.

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #11 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

    Our defensive approach of leaving 3 point shooters wide open is hanging around I guess. Luckily they have missed several wide open ones.

    Williams & Blum Pod: Red alert on bowl season, Liberty Bowl thoughts & hoops wrap-up

    This is the main reason bowls won’t die off. 10x more people watched ISU-Memphis than the Grizzlies/Clippers and almost 20x more than the #1 Purdue CBB team.

    Asking again: Has the rot started to set in?

    Maybe we find a coach that is technically good at all of the things you listed but if he can't recruit, can't retain players, and can't build the culture that Campbell has developed, maybe we would take a big step back. Do you want to risk falling out of the best football stretch in the history...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Red alert on bowl season, Liberty Bowl thoughts & hoops wrap-up

    Just finished listening and am still trying to reconcile the discussion I heard: 1. Bowl games have significant viewership on TV. 2. Lots of people betting on bowl games. 3. Bowl games are fun to watch even with opt outs. to Red alert - bowl games are dying and are meaningless. Did I...

    Survivor 45

    Austin had a chance to win if he would have organized the Julie vote and then also tried to get Dee voted out. He floated along and did well (hence the no votes) but he never really make a big move or controlled the game. His idea that he could go up against Dee and beat her was really bad...

    Survivor 45

    Just finished the finale and thought the players were the worst strategy players in many, many seasons. Heavy on relationships which determined the winner. Thought Austin might get it for never having his name written down but Dee also controlled the game more than him. Top 5 dumbest move was...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Bad luck but he’s been off all night and could have thrown 2 more. Feels like the Iowa game where he just didn’t have it. A lot of game left and it’s just one game. He’ll be fine. Sucks it’s in prime time though.

    *** Official Eastern Illinois vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Other teams seem to get a scare every now and then by these teams and we continue to piss-pound them. That said, it's boring as hell to watch and the Hilton atmosphere is...not great.

    Things to do in Memphis

    For those Gus's Chicken lovers, there is one in Kansas City now (next to Oklahoma Joes). Might not be as good as the original but its damn close.

    Things to do in Memphis

    Commissary for sure. Its worth the drive even if you aren't staying out that way. I think Central's ribs were the best in Memphis (and probably the best I've ever had) but Commissary's sides and atmosphere are equal or better. Must eats - Central and Gus's Chicken (its a regional chain now...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Fair point. Maybe said in a better way, I think there are less eyeballs for a 25-40 team breakaway league than there is right now with 120 fan bases paying close attention to college football.

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Same. I watch a lot of Iowa State and I watch other college football that impacts Iowa State. I watch Alabama/Georgia because there is a chance, especially in a 12-team playoff, that Iowa State could match up against them and because we are in the same "league" (NCAA FBS football). If a top...
