    Marty and Miller Meltdown

    I would listen some after they got on the air together this summer, but gravitated towards KXNO. I really like the guests they bring on so I wanted to give them a chance. But whenever I would switch them on occasionally this fall the Hawk bias was too much. My final farewell to them was a few...

    SUMMER SERIES PODCAST: Inside ISU coaching searches

    The night before the Chizik hire KCCI reported that Kelly was the next coach on the 10PM news. At the time Chizik was a splash hire because he was a coordinator for UT who had been unstoppable during that era. At the time, Chizik seemed like a better bet to most rather than the coaching...

    ISU to B1G was discussed in 2011

    Can't find the original source but here is an article from a hawkeye fan site that references that article. It all revolves around a single quote from the Ohio St prez to their athletics council in late 2012. He says, "We had to deal with some of those in-state rivalries. One of the problems...

    ***Official B12 Expansion/Implosion Thread 3.0???***

    Here is what I don't want to happen: Boren convinces the committee to expand regionally with Houston and Memphis. Boren and Oklahoma AD then decide a couple years later that the B12 isn't attractive anymore because the opponents aren't big enough (because they have to play opponents like...

    ***Official B12 Expansion/Implosion Thread 3.0???***

    That's exactly the problem. You're basically suggesting the B12 takes 6 from the AAC/MTN. You know what the AAC's TV deal brought in 1 year ago? 7 year - 126mil. That is 18 mil a year for the entire 12 team conference or 1.5 mil per team. Think about that for a minute. ISU is pulling in...

    Could we be looking for a new Non-Conf opponent in '17-'18?

    The MAC had a stipulation when UMASS joined that if they didn't become a full member by a certain date, the MAC had the right to boot them. The MAC exercised this right around a year ago and this is their last year in the MAC. UMass will be going independent beginning in 2016. How they're...

    Roth 401K or Traditional 401K

    I worked in the call center at Principal and had about 10,000 conversations with people on their 401k's before I moved to a different position. A few points 1. There is no such thing as Roth 401k vs. traditional 401k. There is 1 401k with different types of money within it. Even if you...

    Fox Sports article reviewing successes and failures of realignment

    That's probably an overstatement though. Just because you have 50% of the country geographically, doesn't mean you would be the #1 money conference in terms of revenue/team. The PAC12 net is way, way behind the B10 and SEC primarily because the population on the west coast doesn't care about...

    Fox Sports article reviewing successes and failures of realignment

    A few thoughts: 1. The SI article talks Texas and Nebraska helping kick things off, but what was the initial public quote that got them talking? It was the Missouri governor talking about the Big 10. Why? They were tired of getting picked over in the bowl process and the '09 Insight Bowl...

    Comparing Conference Networks

    Favorite Moment on Cyclone Fanatic?

    It wasn't until "Let me Mayor Coach" that I felt like I really understood what CF was about. That and cyber going to the airport during the conference realignment thread. We all knew Larry Scott was not on that plane, yet things were so crazy during realignment that everyone was straight out...

    College Gameday

    Here you go... * It appears that most of ESPN's College Gameday basketball schedule, especially the final two weeks, will be flexible selections. Looks like it starts on 1/17. All times Eastern and all of the Gameday games are on ESPN. 1/17: West Virginia at Texas OR Kansas at...

    It could be worse (UAB)...

    Charlotte is joining C-USA next year. So they're still be 13 FB playing members in C-USA. I believe last year was Charlotte's first year of FCS football.

    TCU an 11:00 a.m. kick

    Full national broadcast. And unlike some other time slots throughout the day, there are essentially no competing games on TV. Only the C-usa championship (LA Tech v. Marshall) and a couple meaningless American games (SMU- UConn, Houston- Cincy) are the only other things on TV. At least at...
