When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
Meandering a bit from the original topic, but still about electric transportation - Does anyone here have and use an electric bike? My boss came in today really excited about how much he's already used his since he got it last week. I live and work in Ames, so there would be a fair amount of... -

Higgins is a star
Yeah, that break-up was huge. Higgins was behind the defender but was able to reach around and get a hand in just like a defensive back would. I think that might have been right before the fake field goal and the ensuing touchdown, as well. A bit under the radar, but it was maybe one of the... -

Which Brother Was Better?
It makes sense to compare their senior years, but I'd add that in Nick's junior year, he averaged 11.3 ppg, 7 rbp, and 6.8 apg. I maintain that Nick's ceiling was really high if he had stayed healthy. He had that run in non-conference his junior year where he could take over when the team...- MJ271

Do you want Campbell gone?
I think the main disagreement here is with your use of the word "floor." To me, at least, floor implies that even a single season below that is worthy of firing. Based on your other comments, I don't think that's what you actually mean, but that's what the usage of that word sounds like. -

anyone heard how J T Rock is doing this fall
Osen at 247Sports did report that Rock would redshirt when his reclassifying was first announced. I guess that's not "official" in that it wasn't said publicly by Rock or Otz, but I'd expect that's close to as official as it would get until the season starts. Unless we start to hear other...- MJ271

Pregame atmosphere
I largely agree with @BillBrasky4Cy that many make too big of a deal out of where the students are and how much it affects the atmosphere. There might be some loss from not having the band and students next to each other, but I don't think there's much loss at all during actual gameplay. Last... -

49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1
It seems like a mistake to ignore the other 20 starters on the field. Also, Brock clearly has improved a lot since college, and even in his 1.5 NFL seasons. He obviously wasn't doing this when he got to San Francisco, otherwise he would have started right away. And he also wasn't close to this...- MJ271

What Has Changed Since Ohio Loss?
Yeah, after that game I was pretty upset, especially with play calling. But as you said, we don't know how limited the team was. In terms of the passing game especially, with the benefit of hindsight, we saw Becht play really well in the second half. However, could anyone reasonably expect that... -

Game Thoughts TCU
I'm pretty optimistic now about the run game moving forward. It seems like Scheelhaase has figured out some things with play calling and pulling linemen/TEs. Black was solid and will only get better. It seems like Clanton's coaching might be starting to come through. I understand why some might... -

Tracking games played by the true freshmen
Sturges got a lot of time at safety in the second half last night. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a significant majority of his previous plays were probably on special teams? Regardless, pretty incredible for a true freshman walk-on to work his way into the rotation. And not a walk-on... -

ISU Gambling Megathread
There aren't necessarily laws (though I'd bet that some states do have laws that try to prevent insider info), but I believe most sportsbooks do have rules in their Terms and Conditions against someone making bets with information that is not yet public. Those rules can't really be applied at... -

Cyclones in the pros 2023-2024 (hoops)
I don't know what's up with his current status, but in his two years with the Suns, he dealt with a lot of injury issues. He only played 38 regular season games over the two seasons, mostly because of injuries rather than DNP-coach's decision. I assume he's either continued to deal with injuries...- MJ271

49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1
Darnold came in to take the knee, and executed it perfectly. QB controversy?- MJ271

Game Thoughts Oklahoma State
Certainly there's truth to all of that, but I was responding to those saying we need to pass more. I also wanted to find a sort of "competitive game" passing rate statistic, but was unable to. While Iowa State has definitely been predictable on running plays this season and in the past, I don't... -

Game Thoughts Oklahoma State
I largely agree, with the caveat that I might actually trust Rocco to throw that much. I don't think his comp is Brock Purdy, I think his comp is more in the style of Gardner Minshew. But, you would definitely prefer to be more balanced than that and at some point you also might run into the... -

Game Thoughts Oklahoma State
I've shared some of these stats a couple of times, but it seems worthwhile to keep repeating it. 70%-80% passes is a super high amount that would be higher than basically every FBS offense in the past decade (many of Leach's teams were in the 70s, but no other FBS team has reached 70% since... -

Time for Sanders to be the featured back
I like how Sanders gets downhill and takes what's there. I think it's possible that Norton and/or Sama would be better than Sanders if the offensive line was better, but right now I'm at the point where I just want the RB to limit negative plays and focus on getting a couple of yards before... -

Game Thoughts Oklahoma State
On the defense... The big plays are a bit of a consequence of the changing identity of the defense. For much of the Heacock era, the defense was more in the bend but don't break style. Now, with the talent of the defensive backfield, they're playing a lot more man coverage and daring the skill... -

Game Thoughts Oklahoma State
I don't disagree on most of your points (though I think it's extreme to say those points are enough that the players won in spite of the coaching), but the bolded stat is incorrect. There were 24 pass completions at the end of the third. There were 34 pass attempts, for a passing rate of about... -

Okie State game is looking wet
With the two-point conversions in overtime now, a score of 1-0 is now possible (no points scored until a safety on a two-point conversion attempt in OT).
