    JoePa Fired/What is happening at Penn State?!?!

    As head coach JoePa was effectively head of the department, a department which has seperate offices and facilities from the rest of the university. As head coach he likely spent more than an average work week at the facilities and had the opportunity and obligation to follow up on these...

    Big 12 Network?

    1. Cost. It is estimated ESPN will spend 1 billion over 20 years for the LHN $300 to Texas and the balance to set up and operate the network. 2. Media rights. Most Big 12 schools have contracts for the third tier rights which they either would have to buy out or wait until they expire. 3...

    After going back and watching last year's UNI game...

    Maybe you should also watch the Iowa game, the Utah game and the Oklahoma game. Our offense and defense were terrible at the beginning of the year. We will be much improved, UNI will be better but not nearly enough. 31-10 ISU

    Better this year?

    Poor assumption, conference only stats ISU finished 6th in total defense. Started off fair and played very good teams which screwed the overall stats. Finished with an above average defense. Watch the interviews with the coaches, they say the defense will be better.

    Another good Niang Interview

    You hit the nail on the head. That's Georges! Would it be bragging to tell you that he has been the co-captain or captain on the basketball team @ Tilton for the past 2 years and that he was elected Student Body President for the upcoming school year? I think the Will Rogers quote is: "If it's...

    Cornell Mann arrested for OWI in Dayton, OH Tuesday

    I'm on the side of firing the man. A couple of drinks is ok, but he was way over that! He WAS being a danger to other people and that is a serious lack of judgement.

    TV Money = 13 mill a year per school plus "Big XII" Network creation

    So "our" share of the 13 year deal would be about $100 million, isn't the plan for the south end zone $65 million (double deck)? Whoo Hoo

    Car Goes Click Click Click...

    It is NOT the battery. If the battery is good enough to start the car you can go a long way before it will not work the other electronics. My pickup had alternator problems last summer and I charged the battery every day for a week and got along just fine. People teased me about my "hybrid"...

    CBI...Yes or No

    Then don't call it a reward (it's not). It's a chance to make a couple of bucks and let the seniors play another home game. What is wrong with THAT?

    Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes

    Small portions? Brown rice instead of white? Nutrition class I took at ISU said 65% of the protein in the Japanese diet was from animals, mostly fish. There is science to back up the theory that a diet high in animal protein reduces the desire to eat and therefore is easier to control calorie...

    Death to the BCS

    That money would go to the NCAA. ISU's cut would be the same as any other school that did not make the playoffs. It likely would strengthen weak conferences and the top teams in the major conferences, everyone else not so much.

    When will Garrett pass the ball

    Scotty was taken out of his game??? If 30 points was a bad game I can't wait to see the ball in his hand 50% of the time:confused:. DG drew defenders away from Scott, passed to him when open and allowed Scott to nail OPEN trees. Scott is not great at making his own shot.
