    After much thought, my best-case, realistic realignment scenario.

    PAC-12 goes with safety in #'s and adds remaining Big members (minus West Va) + BYU to form the PAC-20 They do 5, 4-team PODS that look something like this: Oregon, Oregon St, Wash, Wash St USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford CU, BYU, Utah, & Kansas Texas Tech, TCU, Arizona, ASU Baylor, Iowa St...

    NCAA- Supreme Court ruling

    The thing I'm most fascinated with is how any money can come directly from the school without Title IX implicaitons. How are they going to balance that? I don't see Title IX going anywhere. It could be catasphrophic for non-revenue men's sports like track, wrestling, etc. Will the NCAA change...

    Report: T.J. Otzelberger headed for Iowa State

    Can you imagine what thsi thread would be like if we weren't really good at football? Man.

    Greg McDermott Suspended

    If a suspension was warranted it was was warranted BEFORE he coached a game. Shouldn't the AD be suspended for not doing his job and suspending him right away?

    Jamie Pollard "State of the Union" Address for Dept.

    I’m guessing there are plenty of people on here who think like this as well but I was thrilled season tickets are going up ~20% or so. They should, even if we weren’t in a pandemic. I want the FB team at the school I attended and have had season tickets at for 20+ years to be really good at...

    Bankston Transferring to the Rajun Cajuns (EDIT: Now Houston)

    Ironic. Hope he enjoys The New Orleans Bowl.

    Way Too Early Look at 2021

    Fun schedule, especially with a trip to Vegas. But, if anyone on here doesn't belive the UNI game will come down to the last possession, you're kidding yourself. They're good and we always struggle, mainly because Purdy doesn't run (designed or otherwise) in non-conference games except Iowa.

    The last time you took a loss this hard

    I felt 1,000,000,000 times better walking out of the stadium yesterday than I did walking out of the Palace at Auburn Hills (Elite 8 Michigan State 2000).

    The last time you took a loss this hard

    People took this loss hard? This was the best I’ve ever felt after a loss. That’s weird. I felt worse after Louisiana and Okie St.

    What are the odds our Pac-12 bowl opponent Covid cancels?

    Whoever is the original Pac 12 Alamo Bowl team is most likely going to back out. I’d bet $ on it. Can they fill the spot? Maybe. Fiesta Pac 12 rep less likely to back out because it will be there conference champion and they’ll want the NY6 payout.

    Debatable Targeting and Obvious Facemask Penalties

    1) The targeting call was the correct interpretation of a bad rule. 2) Purdy late hit push was ” 50/50“ but given the other calls, I thought he’d get it. 3) The offsides was completely Iowa State’s fault. When they jump into the neutral zone you have to either snap it or flinch to get the...

    Prohm Defenders

    You honestly think Iowa State’s program is on the same level as Duke & Kansas? If you do then you’re right.

    ***Official College Football Playoff Rankings***

    Whether we're 6 or 7 tonight really doesn't matter much. #6 helps for that 3% chance we get in the CFP but if Georgia is #6 and we're #7, we'll jump them back next week. Stewart Mandel (and others) have Indiana in NY6 instead of us (if we lose) and whether 6/7 isn't going to impact that...

    Post Covid Vacation

    Key West, February. Wanted to get as far south as possible without leaving the country, preferably in a red state.

    Prohm Defenders

    My thoughts are this: Prohm actually recruited too well in spots. The key to modern CBB is to recruit really well, but not too well. THT, Wigginton, Haliburton played a combined 5/12 seasons. He just able to replace them fast enough and that is where we are at now. Fred recruited really well...

    Sat 12/12: What game outcomes are best for ISU?

    I think Georgia is going to jump us after picking up a blowout Road win versus a ranked team today.
