    Big XII to add schools within days?

    So with this lineup we'll have the Babtists, the Mormons and the Disciples of Christ in the league. Maybe need to round it out. Anybody know of a good Catholic school that plays football?

    IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

    Good point on the travel. The Northwestern game would be a sellout. They would be thrilled. They average about 37,000 and their stadium holds 47,000. That and a weekend in Chicago would be a fun tri....Oh...wait...never mind. But still a good point.

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    I've come up with a metaphor to describe what ou and texas have done here. I liken it to a man who has been happily married to a beautiful woman for years. The marriage is great but suddenly he just up and leaves her for his younger secretary. And after that everybody starts paying a price.

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    texas has screwed over the Big 12 twice now. And as I like to mention every chance I get they won 83% of their games in the 10 years prior to the formation of the longhorn Network. In the ten years since....58%. But I'll set the over/under as to the amount of time it will take texas to screw...

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    One thing I can say is that even though it's not readily apparent today as to specifically why....the fact that we might not be associated with Texas anymore is a big plus. They screwed over the Big 12 twice now. And there is no reason to believe they won't do the same to the SEC in some way...

    ISU and PAC12 Attendance and merger idea

    So a quick eyeball only comparison of the lists from 2009 and 2019 shows these teams as the programs with the largest percentage growth over that period. This is their percentage growth and their 2019 average attendance. Iowa State is 6th. Only one of the top 6 teams has a larger 2019...

    ISU and PAC12 Attendance and merger idea

    Good idea. But I have a day job. ha. And don't know where that information would be readily available. The attendance figures are and it doesn't take long to do some calculations. http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/football_records/Attendance/2019.pdf From there you can go into the address line and...

    ISU and PAC12 Attendance and merger idea

    Here are some numbers I crunched concerning attendance. We would rank 8th in attendance in a 16 team Big 10 We would rank 2nd in attendance in a 16 team PAC 12. We rank 21st nationwide in football attendance . Iowa is 20th. We out-attend 16 of the current 26 teams in the Big ten and Pac 12...

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    When I was at Iowa State I had a fraternity brother who organized a fund raiser. I forget who he was raising money for but he was the only one doing it. And after it was over he actually did give the money to the charity. And he didn't just get sloppy drunk or anything like that. But he took...

    Who is in the (BIG) Cyclone Camp?

    Iowa State's fans certainly would be a big selling point. They obviously have a great reputation for how they travel. And since the new calculation seems to be potential streaming numbers rather than cable viewers it would seem to be important as to how many fans a school actually has as...

    Clyde Williams Stadium?

    Good stuff here. My biggest memory of Clyde Williams also had to do with the Nebraska tie game. I was a kid and was down on the field under the south goal post....I guess you could wander anywhere in those days...and saw Ike Harris(?) I think it was catch the touchdown pass that tied the...
