    Expand the Playoff... and here's how

    I will forever argue that 6 is the correct number and have been saying it for years. To me a 24 team playoff is ridiculous. This is football not the NCAA tournament. 24 renders regular season games meaningless. The 6 can come from the Power 5 conference champions. It essentially makes that 10...

    College Gameday thread

    I am still on the side of 6 teams. This makes the conference games matter, and the conference championship is a defacto playoff game. Winner gets in. 6th slot is for the top Group of 5 as long as it is ranked in the top 15 or so. It essentially is an 11 team playoff. 10 teams from the P5 and one...

    Purdy's Early Performance

    There are a few things here in my mind. First, the receiver group isn't what it was his first two years. Butler was a complete stud/mismatch that he was able to take advantage of his first year. Jones was a great reliable receiver last year. I'll also argue that though our lines have struggled...

    Your Comedian Mount Rushmore

    George Carlin- Genius, his stuff still holds up so well. Steve Martin- Just loved how versatile he is, plus he plays a banjo for gosh sakes. Robin Williams- Just amazing energy. Will Ferrell- For some reason I just enjoy his movies and humor, though I know he isn't for every one. The Other Guys...

    Is this where I'm supposed to say "Let Me Mayor Coach"? Did I so that right?

    Klatt on the playoff committee

    I don't get the push of people for 16 or 24 teams unless you want to totally blow up traditional bowls. Even then, I don't see the reason for that many. I am still on the side of taking 6. You take all of the major conference champions and then a plus one either from the group of five, Notre...

    OT - Cutting Cable

    I have jumped around the last few years. I started with sling a few years back and at the time it was ok but the espn channels really lagged for me. I went to Vue and liked it much better, but went through 2 price increases in a short time. Did Hulu last Fall through Spring and liked the...

    I'm on board with liking them. Have always thought we should emphasize the gold more, since it is a school color unlike say charcoal...I'm not bashing the grey look, but don't get the gold hate.

    MLB: 2017 Minnesota Twins Thread

    No kidding on the football scores. Seems like any time they play anymore someone is getting double digits. I just hope it's the good guys more often than not. 28 hits, and 3 bombs by Rosario, and Gibson has a 500 record. All in all a good night.

    OT - Cutting Cable

    This is the same thing I did and thought the same thing. I'm going to sign back up in August once football starts, but in the summer I just don't watch enough to care.

    MLB: .

    I was actually on the trade Dozier for some pitching court through mid-season. Now I don't know how you trade him as he is about the only one consistently producing. No way he can have this kind of impact but if he can bat .270 and hit 30HR's for the next few years he'll be the twins best...

    If so, think of the crazy ISU news and signees that would break while he was gone!

    MONDAY MUSINGS: Ames, a football recruiting hotbed

    "With the commitments, Iowa State’s recruiting class ranking jumped to No. 33 according to 247. Meanwhile, the Cyclones are currently ranked third in the Big 12." This statement would have most likely been from "The Onion" in prior years. Crazy how well recruiting is going.

    Cutting the Cord

    I had sling tv for about a year basically to watch ESPN for basketball and ISU football. Only few downsides were no Fox Sports stations for ISU football, and there were times for me where it lagged way behind and quality issues. I have had PS Vue for about a month and haven't had as many...

    Friday 5: Big 12 expansion

    In a world where poaching is possible go after the weak PAC 12 and get Zona, Utah, Colorado, Arizona St. Then if West Virginia gets mad you can release them to go to the ACC so they can have some geographic travel partners and try to pick up UCLA. Yes I know all of this is absurd but hey we're...
