    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    Maybe not on that grand of a scale, but on a smaller business scale those predictions are far more accurate. 20% fail after the first year, gradually increasing to 65% after 10 years. And, that's taking into account compounding. And, let's not ignore the several sports leagues that have...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    The bigger the playoff the greater the hastening of league imbalance. And, of course, the greater the imbalance of contract negotiation. Which, simply hastens the inevitability of the separation of classes. Gee. Where else are we seeing that?

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    I can't be the only person to realize the enormity of what's happening. As a boomer Chicagoan, I was pretty much resigned to never seeing any Chicago team go to a championship. Of course, da Bears, Bulls, White Sox, and Cubs did, but well after my childhood. I look at what Brock is doing for...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    If I had a nickel for every business decision that worked, ... I'd be filthy ... poor! They're treading in very risky waters.

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    When your group is built from the rich, how can anyone believe they have all of college football's best interest in mind? It never works like that...anywhere!

    Huggins might be in trouble, DUI is good, Bees are bad

    Not really. Word here in W.V. is that he's still heavily involved in the program. It's been on the hush-hush, but the signs certainly suggest it. For example the wording on their official site still says 'interim' for Eilert. That's a LONG time for an 'interim' coach. As a consultant he can...

    Video Doorbell Recommendations?

    Which leads me to an all important question: are ALL of these devices software upgradable, fixable, or remotely manageable? You see, I'm fixated on quality and reliability. For those making the suggestions, how long have you owned them? Are there changes you'd want in them?

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    Honest objective question. Do you think the majority of K-State fans agree with you? I ask because in this age, opinions seem to be confused with facts.

    NFL: ***2023 San Francisco 49ers***

    Pro sports has changed so much to me. When I was young, you couldn't pry me away from a Bears, Bulls, Cubs, White Sox, or Blackhawks game. Heck you couldn't even get my attention. I've introspectively asked myself why I have so much less interest today. Well, my answer is quite simple. I...

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    While I agree a lawsuit is absurd, one has to question why the line of defamation is not being addressed properly.

    STUDENT CHANT

    So were we back then. And, that furthers my point. Today is so much more different than 40 years ago when it comes to fandom class. As another poster pointed out, 'Sit down Norm' was the norm :)

    STUDENT CHANT

    The mere fact people are justifying it, says it all. 'It' being classlessness. And, yes, Tang was classless. And, yes, it got a lot of you riled up. But, c'mon folks. Classlessness in return? Wow, what a time we live in. Oh, and every 'dumb' further proves our point!

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    I've lived all over the nation, all with something that makes it uniquely beautiful. Nowhere is better than anywhere else. At least not in a sweeping fashion. Ames is beautiful in its own way. And, above most it's the people that define its beauty. I traveled to every Big8 (yes. that old)...

    What is the oldest item you use on a regular basis?

    Hair trimmer. And, it's as old as I am 60+ years. It's from an era where things were just made much better.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Three things stick out, all of which are progressing. One, his body is still not B12. A year more in the weight room will fix that. Also, you can see he's still hesitant in the system. You know, "Where am I supposed to be?" But, even that I am starting to see improvement in. And, three, he...

    Sports Illustrated Done

    I hate to say it, but ineptitude of management. It happens everywhere. Even Google's recent layoffs are indicative of management not 'branching' into profitable arenas and re-mobilizing their staff. 80% of the companies I've worked with over my lifetime are out-of-business. 80% of the...

    TCU Forfeiting tonight & Saturday in Hilton

    The selective 2 weeks, would strongly suggest 'recovery' within that time which would support the sickness logic.

    Evidence of life found in the atmosphere of Venus

    Since you brought Star Trek up, The Next Generation - Final episode changed a fundamental belief of mine. Evolution vs Creation. Up until then purely evolution, but since then a combination. Seriously, what are the odds, the vast majority of species on this planet interact with surroundings...

    *** Official Oklahoma State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Used to traffic direct at Hilton. These types of days are downright scary. Luckly, back then we were allowed to stay warm in our cars until the last 15 minutes when 95% of the attendees arrive.

    Rocco's NIL value

    Everyone seems to be talking about the logistics and legalities. However, I can't help but think that the NFL is going to make some changes if NIL is going to curtail some big-time athletes from entering the draft. Also, the 'consequences' of transferring will become a metric that will be...
