    Misc: World Cup 2010

    True (especially Evans), but the fact is that Man Utd. is now definitely a buying club as opposed to a club that develops the bulk of its talent through its academy. I think it is admirable that they got to this position because of developing talent rather than some squillianaire investing in...

    Misc: World Cup 2010

    I hate to start a fight within the minority of soccer fans on this board, but this is (as the British say) a load of bollocks. Man Ure used to develop youth. Yes, their current success was originally built on an amazing youth system that developed the Nevilles, Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, et al...

    Misc: World Cup 2010

    Absolutely. Don't know if you read this article, but it makes for some pretty depressing reading regarding our offensive options: World Cup: U.S. striker conundrum unresolved - ESPN Soccernet

    Misc: World Cup 2010

    I think England are vulnerable. They usually find ways to underperform in big tournaments and I think Capello has them playing better than they really are right now. Rooney is amazing, but the rest of the team is solid, but not spectacular. If we draw against them, we could potentially win...

    ESPN drops Shirley

    That's a valid point, but the fact is that people are there are dying of hunger and disease and giving money to them can help make this disaster into less of a disaster. For someone over the age of 18 who lives in a country largely responsible for the pre-earthquake state of the country to say...

    ESPN drops Shirley

    Are you serious? You say you agreed with Shirley's general idea, then lament that people don't look into an issue before forming their opinion? Take five minutes to research why Haiti is so poor. As clone52 pointed out, Haiti is poor because their government sucks. Their government sucks...

    Colvin will suit up tonight

    I think he is teaching some great life lessons here: -There are no absolutes in the world. Circumstances can change and you better be ready for them. If Colvin wasn't "being a good boy", McDermott probably wouldn't even consider lifting the suspension. Instead, by doing what he's been told to...

    Best game attended at Hilton?

    Absolutely. I was a freshman the next year. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone told me about being at that OSU game. The best game I was at was the KU game the next year. A lot of people that were at both games said that was a close second.

    Coaches with ISU Connections

    This thread reminds me of a story Todd Doxzon told years ago when he was on an Omaha radio station back when he played for the Dolphins. He said that when he first started playing with the Dolphins, he was stretching before practice and Jimmy Johnson walked up to him. He was new to the team...

    NFL: Chiefs Keep Collecting Garbage

    Can someone please tell me why Charlie Weis is such a great NFL offensive coordinator? In the entire time he was at New England, his offenses ranked in the top half (not top 5 or 10, but half) of the NFL in yards gained exactly once, his last year there they were 7th. Since he left, they have...

    Texas Tech game next year

    If you're talking in terms of body shape, I thought McNeill = Charlie Weis.

    Texas Tech game next year

    I'm not sure I'd be so quick to build up T-Tech just yet. Watching the game last night reminded me a lot of West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl a couple of years ago. They destroyed a good Oklahoma team with an interim coach, but fell off a bit (they're still pretty good, but not BCS-bowl good)...

    Team recruiting ranking..

    Yes and no. There was a an article in the most recent issue of the Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports (yes, it really exists & is peer-reviewed) showed that only about 45% of a team's performance can be explained by recruiting rankings, but 51% of recruiting rankings can be explained by...

    NFL Network

    I love this board. We defy all expectations and make a bowl game. We then get in a better game against a higher-profile opponent that happens to be the only bowl game on an obscure television network that the largest cable provider in the state does not carry. So, due to circumstances beyond...

    I live in Iowa City. Should be fun hanging out in a sports bar on New Year's Eve trying to watch the Cyclones.

    ESPN Bowl Projections

    Disregarding the incorrect use of the work "litterally (sic)", but what do you base this on? Georgia just lost at home to Kentucky. They had some decent wins early on, but haven't been too impressive lately. South Carolina is, once again, awful in the second half of the season. They lost...

    Sounds like internal problems happening at KU football

    Why is everyone assuming that this is due to either one issue (either the player getting poked or Mangino being restrained from beating up a player that made a stupid remark) or that the fan base (who don't attend games and leave at half time) are suddenly not happy and are looking for the...

    WSJ article on Iowa

    Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but has anyone else read the article on Iowa in yesterday's Wall Street Journal? It is proof that the WSJ should stick to business and should never attempt to cover sports again. Basically, the gist of the article is that Iowa's recent run into the top...

    Do they still have Crazy Bread? I had a friend in high school who pretty much lived on the stuff.
