    [Commitment Watch] '22 In-State TE Gabe Burkle

    But there are fewer WRs that are on the field at a time. If we have a 3 TE set and you're the second string WR, you aren't on the field.

    Also is there a different thread we should discuss this in? Sorry I don't mean to clog things up in this thread.

    Best & Worst Traditions

    There are already bagmen that indirectly pay money to recruits, with the larger programs likely having the most money going to players through bagmen. If they allow NIL but regulate it (as in, don't allow some billionaire to give one mil to each football player for his team or something. Keep...

    Best & Worst Traditions

    NIL is not the same as paying the players, if that is what you are talking about. We are still a long way off from schools directly paying players.

    Xavier Nwankpa

    I think we can agree that everyone older than me is senile and out of touch, and everyone younger than me is lazy and a freeloader. Only people my exact age are perfect haha! But yeah, to get semi back on topic, it sucks that Nwankpa doesn't want to play here, but he is under no obligation to...

    Updated “Way Too Early” Rankings

    The only good thing about the rain delays was that we forced Nebraska to play on Fox business or some other obscure channel

    Updated “Way Too Early” Rankings

    Having both us and Oklahoma start so high in the rankings does give us a good chance to make the playoffs if we only lose to each other. Although both games being both towards the end of the year makes it so we both have little to no time to climb back up the rankings after the drop from the...

    Updated “Way Too Early” Rankings

    Yeah, Iowa is the only non conf team I am worried about. Iowa will probably be our second hardest game this season, after the Oklahoma game. I pray to the corn god that there's no torrential downpours this year!

    Updated “Way Too Early” Rankings

    Put both of us in so we can have a third game against each other in the championship game. Or better yet, just go undefeated in the regular and post season!

    Cyclones in Mock ‘22 Drafts’ First Rounds

    Good edge players are always in high demand. If Will McDonald repeats this past year, I think there is a good chance he goes in the first. Kolar I am less confident in. TE is just a position that doesn't have as many 1st round picks. If I team goes TE though, I think he would be a great option.

    Undrafted free agents

    Yeah, school of mines. I imagine got started as a mining school. There are a couple of those throughout the country in areas where there was/is a lot of mining. Last summer I stopped at a nice museum they had at South Dakota school of mines (was passing through towards Montana to get to my gf's...

    Kene Nwangwu getting PAID, drafted 4th round

    Pretty great to see our backup RB drafted in the 4th round! Although like many said, he could have started or at least had a much bigger role if he played elsewhere. I wish he has a successful career, just like I wish for all other ISU players!

    Tom Manning a candidate for KU FB job

    I know if I was in their situation, I wouldn't want to coach for Kansas, but some coaches think they can be the one to pull Kansas up from the pit that it is in. And in many ways, coaching at a P5 program (even at Kansas) is seen as more prestigious than most G5 teams. I think it would make more...

    Conference Record

    I agree with your analysis here. TCU will likely be the hardest to pass, but it is still possible. One of the other teams could suddenly get good too, or we could settle down to not being as good as well. But I think the future is bright. Many of these teams I think we will pass, it is just a...

    Conference Record

    Baylor, West Virginia, and Texas Tech I think are all teams we should be above 50/50 against in 7 years. It is more than likely we will be above 50/50 against Kansas at that point too, unless somehow they become awesome very quickly. TCU is the team that I think is within reach but we won't get...

    Culture or luck?

    He said weary, not wary (could have been a typo to be fair), as in he is tired of having to deal with other people's actions

    Culture or luck?

    Yeah, the issue is mutations. The more people who get covid, the higher the chance there is that covid mutates to a degree that the vaccines are less effective. The last thing we want is for covid to turn into the Flu 2.0 where there are many different strains and it is impossible to control. We...
