    *** Official TCU vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Could we just, for once, put someone away early in the 4th? It’d be nice, rather than curling up in a ball and trying to hang on.

    Dookie - 30th Anniversary

    Easily one of my all-time favorites. I think I purchased this one 3 separate times. First on cassette (unironically) and played it so much my 5 year old brother knew a lot of the lyrics (and wasn't shy about singing them, loudly, at inappropriate times). That prompted a parental review of my...

    PedoState doing pedothings to Iowa

    IMO, it's a combination of factors. First, this year's offense is particularly bad, even by Iowa standards. Second, this year's schedule is particularly weak, even by Iowa standards. Finally, the CFB world seems to have caught on to Iowa inexplicably being set up to have yet another "fake id"...

    Penn State White Out

    Their schedule is so bad, we might be the 3rd best team they face behind Penn St and Wisconsin.

    Iconic beer labels

    That’s the one I was going to post! Never had the pleasure, but I remember our next door neighbor drinking it when I was a kid.

    Obesity in the US (and Iowa)

    Unfortunately, that applies to a big portion of our population. My father has always taken that attitude when it comes to diet, besides being a big (and loud) "personal discipline and responsibility" type in a lot of other ways. His big issue is too many calories, not enough fruits and veggies...

    Hollywood strikes + televised sports

    It wouldn't be at all surprising to see more sports get pushed to network TV, particularly on the weeknights. Even if both strikes were settled today, it'd be at least a couple of months before stuff was ready to air. They're going to have to fill a lot of air time, and sports would be a good...

    Thoughts on social media sites? UPDATE: Apple, IBM, Disney, etc. stopped advertising on Twitter - Musk suing

    There are a whole lot of ways to waste $44B (or whatever Musk paid for Twitter), but this has to be among the most pointless.

    *** 2023 Chicago Bears ***

    Nebraska is cursed, there’s no other explanation. The Bears have the McCaskeys, there’s no other common denominator.

    *** 2023 Chicago Bears ***

    I’m looking forward to finding out how they manage to **** up building the new stadium. As a Bears fan, I just know they’re going to **** up, the intrigue is how.

    Do you want Campbell gone?

    It’s time to clean house on the offensive side of the ball. That’s 100% what’s holding the program back the past 2 years. It’s a vicious cycle of playing to not turn the ball over, which makes every game close, which makes any turnover pivotal. How many games have we seen the D play plenty well...

    UNRL University Drop

    Right? The sweatshirt itself looks great. The colors on the Iowa State one look really ketchup-and-mustard-y. The graphics couldn't possibly be more generic for any of the different options they sell. I have a tough time with sports apparel. I absolutely despise "busy" looking designs, and I...

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

    I didn’t say I felt bad for their fans. One of these years I’ll get bored of watching them lose, but not this year it seems.

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

    The program has to be cursed. It’s the only way to explain how the coaches and players have all changed multiple times, but it keeps playing out the same way over and over again. That has to be incredibly frustrating for the fans. If I have to watch my team lose year after year, I at least want...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Yeah, that's not going to happen. An agreement in principle isn't a signed deal. Deals fall apart at the last minute all the time for a wide range of reasons. This is just another one. As far as everything else, there's no legal basis for OR St or WA St to sue. All the other schools were free...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The conferences are already too big/concentrated. With the CFP expanding to 12, and conferences doing away with divisions, the conference title games are already gratuitous. What’s the benefit of getting a first round bye in the CFP? The top 4 are almost certain to be playing in their conference...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The B12 was never going to take SDSU. The B12 didn’t have to add any teams to maintain their status this round, and there was no reason at all to reach. There’s a reason the B12 didn’t add SDSU a couple of years ago in place of one of UCF, Cinci, Houston or BYU. There’s a reason the PAC didn’t...

    Tailgating Stories

    A couple of out-of-towner perspectives. First, a friend of a friend's girlfriend's younger brother came up for the Nebraska game in 2002. He talked a lot of **** about how much harder they partied in Lincoln, which was kind of suspect. It didn't help his case that someone had to help him home...

    Nah, I like them at 5 wins per year. Bonus if one of them is against Iowa.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I’m not convinced the Networks are working 3-4 steps ahead, mostly because having a conference’s media deal now doesn’t mean they’ll have that conferences next media deal. Yes, the SEC and B10 are very cozy with their networks, but that doesn’t mean anything for the next round. But as a thought...
