Future Big 12 FB Opponents/Schedule Announced
First, there’s a lot of competing interests and balancing that goes into a decision like this. You’ve got to keep the different institutions happy, and different factions that may/may not exist (Big 8 OGs, Angry 8, former G5s, PAC castaways). Second, what’s a rival for each school that makes... -
Future Big 12 FB Opponents/Schedule Announced
My first instinct is that everyone should have one rival, but the reality is a some are going to have 2 (ie, K-State with KU + ISU) while others might not have one that really makes any sense at all. It sucks I'm happy with getting a home & home with everyone at least every 4 years and they... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
Even if they can get charging times down to just 5 or 10 minutes, I'd expect home/work/destination charging to account for a bulk of it. There will still be a market for people traveling, but I'd be surprised if we just swapped out gas for electricity and kept everything else about the same. Am... -
In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC
I get that, but it's lazy thinking and a pointless conversation. How many teams could be CFP contenders if their offense or defense were rated 25 or 30 spots higher? It's like saying if the #20 team were just a bit better, they could be in the top 10 and would be a CFP contender. Or if the...- exCyDing

In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC
That's more an indictment of the offense than a validation of the defense. Here's the thing. Iowa plays maybe 1 CFP contender/elite teams at most per year. You can't throw out one of the few examples, call it misleading, and claim Iowa would be a CFP contender with a top-50 offense...- exCyDing

In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC
Sure, having a top 50 offense probably nets a few more wins over the past few years, but mostly by sidestepping land mines like they stepped on with MN two weeks ago. But CFP contender? Nah, they'd still be a fake ID. Their defense has been very, very good, but they've also played a whole slew...- exCyDing

When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
CA had a few days earlier this year where power from renewables was enough to meet the state's needs. Still a long ways to go, but that's a pretty big milestone and proof that real progress can be made. -
In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC
The Hawkeyes that are ready for a coaching change are giving me some strong Solich-at-Nebraska vibes, as in be careful what you wish for. The next guy is almost certainly set up to fail, or at least have a very tough road. Following a legend is always very difficult, but following a legend...- exCyDing

And Rivian has Amazon behind it. They'll be the ones making Amazon's delivery fleet. If Amazon wants it to work, they're going to have a loooooot of runway. -

In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC
I think he's at 192, Woody's at 202. 10 to tie, 11 to take the record. IL, NW, Rutgers and NE left on the slate for this year, plus a bowl. The bad news is Rutgers and NE have occasionally seemed like groups of people aware they’re playing football lately. They’ll probably draw someone well...- exCyDing

Official Apology Thread: Has the rot set in?
Agreed. The blowouts have been few and far between particularly the past 7 years. What constitutes a blowout is debatable, but I think 3 scores is pretty reasonable. I'm counting 6, with three coming in 2016 (Iowa, Texas, West Virginia). ULM in 2020, TCU in 2022 and Oklahoma earlier this year... -
Official Apology Thread: Has the rot set in?
It seems like we've had a series of coaches over the past 25 years that started strong before sputtering out. Eustachy, Rhodes, and Prohm all come mind. It's easy to understand how some looked at 2021 and 2022 being relatively disappointing, plus the Ohio and Iowa games and got that funny old... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
Right, but EVs shouldn't even be discussed as a realistic viable alternative for people until every possible edge case is accounted for. What about the people who live in a 200 year old house without electricity and have to make their 500 mile round-trip daily commute with 10 kids while towing... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
That seems high for anything but a house that is borderline in code or doesn't have extensive issues that would need to be addressed. That said, I didn't say it would be easy or necessarily cheap in all cases. Just that I wouldn't be surprised if in the next 10 years or so, most middle class... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
It's just something that has to be done, and landlords will respond when market demand is there. When we were apartment hunting in LA two years ago,every apartment building we toured had at least a few spots with chargers installed. These were all nice places, but hardly top of the line/luxury... -
F*CK IOWA
His left index finger is extended, so clearly he's pointing. DeJean was probably just pointing at a bee or other dangerous insect that was flying around so nobody got stung. Once it flew away and it was safe to do so, he picked up the ball and returned the kick. Besides, who waives with just...- exCyDing

Covid still frolicking around
Three of my co-workers went to a conference last week. One tested positive for Covid, one was pretty sick but claimed to have tested negative, and a third didn't seem sick and tested negative. Coincidentally or not, the sick one who claimed to have tested negative has a track record of... -

I can understand the heartbreak. I can't understand belaboring the point and trying out increasingly desperate explanations to maintain victimhood in spite of ample evidence refuting every argument floated thus far. That's how he runs. He was trying to keep his balance. He was waiving off his...- exCyDing
