    NY Post says West Virginia to the Big 12

    The last 5 years ND has lost to traditional powerhouses Navy, Tulsa, UConn, Syracuse, Pitt, and Air Force. I'm pretty sure they could handle a loss to K-State or ISU. Even ND fans know their program is not once what it was.

    Who Should Kick Field Goals/PAT's

    For perspective, we need to measure our kicking game to a team with consistent kicking. For his career, Mahoney is 39 of 65 on FG's, for a percentage of 60%. In 4 years, he has also missed 7 XP's. As compared to a good kicker, I chose Alex Henery of NU. His career mark was 68 of 76, for a...

    Texas a 9-point favorite on Saturday

    Just out of curiousity, does anyone know the spread from last year? I'm gonna take a shot in the dark, and say we covered!

    You might be a Hawkeye if.....

    You consistently refer to the Hawks football team as "WE", even though you personally have never attended the University of Iowa. You actually have never even taken a college class.

    Top 5 80's "sellout" songs

    I can't believe one has mentioned Def Leppard yet. They have to be the biggest pop sellouts of all time. Listen to Pyromania, then Hysteria, and its very obvious they wanted radio play. Listen to High N Dry, then listen to that garbage single "Let's Get Rocked". You won't even be able to...

    Direct TV - where to buy?

    Every year I add the sports pack for football, and then just cancel it when football is over. You get all the Fox Sports channels. It is currently 12.99 a month, but they usually have a special during football season that knocks it down to 8.99 a month. Well worth the money, you get all the...

    What's a bigger win this season? Iowa or Texas?

    Three things stick out..... 1. Do some of you really think people outside the state of Iowa really care that we beat Iowa? Other than being able to rub it in your annoying neighbor's face, is beating Iowa really that big of a deal? 2. Aren't we trying to recruit Texas hard, and establish...

    McRoy, Iowa State parting ways

    What about Giggles? I am sure he has the whole east coast thing down by now. As long as we are not recruiting against Creighton, we should be fine.

    BASKETBALL RECRUITING: Baylor now recruiting Korie Lucious

    I want Lucious because of his pedigree. I don't know how you can't get excited about Tom Izzo coached players. That guy has been phenominal. He has been to 6 Final Fours, including a national title. That is also why I am so excited about Allen. Lucious and Allen have been in maybe the best...

    Friday Confessions

    I like to give myself dutch ovens in the morning, just to check my tolerance of pain.

    Why do we think the transfers are the answer?

    Agreed. These are not transfers from the Horizon League. Babb, White, and Allen all played in the Big 10, maybe the best conference in the nation this year. Allen and White were both Rivals Top 50 players (White #19, Allen #33). White was the #2 rated forward in his class behind some guy...

    ***Official: ISU @ Colorado game(day) thread***

    Unfortunately, in the game of basketball, there is a lot more to playing than being able to hit a 3 point shot. Little things, like you know, blocking out, playing defense, and if you are so inclined (like 6'10" people), rebounding. Pssst, here's a secret too. He is not hitting the 3's...

    Bench Ejim for OU

    I think a lot of it is these starters are completely gassed. They all have been logging 35 minutes a game in conference play. If you watch Scotty and JVB almost all of their 3's the past 2 games have been short, they don't have the legs. Its obvious Ejim is exhausted too, he is reaching on...

    ***Official: Iowa State @ Okla. State game(day) thread***

    I have not had this much fun watching Cyclone Basketball since the Elite 8 team of 2000. They simply have heart, something we have sorely missed!

    Favorite Stand-up Comedian

    All comedians have a "shtick". Dice didn't care what you thought about his attitude, he was raw. He had the same persona on the stage as he did in real life. Say what you will, but his live acts are legendary. Comedians like Dane Cook seem so polished today, I doubt they even write their own...

    Favorite Stand-up Comedian

    Can't believe no one has said him yet, but I will..... the Dice Man. I saw his show in Vegas about 8-9 years ago, funniest thing I have ever seen. The way he went after people in the audience was awesome. Others - Bill Hicks, Steven Wright, Gaffigan.

    QB Competition for 2011 season

    From what I have seen of Tiller, he has a hard time moving the offense, to say the least. Like one poster has mentioned, in the games he has started, he has led the offense to about 8 points per game. For the last 2 years, his QB rating is right at 90 (by comparison Arnauds QB rating the past...

    Has Dish ever told anyone why they don't carry FCS?

    Actually, DirecTV is running a special for their sports package at $7 a month right now for the next 3 months. Just call, and they put it on your bill. At the end of the football season, I call and cancel my sports package. They tell me thanks for trying it, and throw in like 3 months free of...

    The Walking Dead

    Good show, I liked it. Here is my beef though.... Does AMC not come in HD in Direct TV? I am so used to good shows in HD. If that is the case, AMC, you gotta pony up some money and start shooting in HD.

    Stats Do Not Lie

    I disagree that this team is above average. In our last 7 quarters of football, we have been outscored 110-13. Above average teams don't lose by 50 points a game, regardless of who they are playing. As one poster said, this offense is really, really bad. We are averaging about 300 yards of...
