    Rocco's NIL value

    It depends on how we look at it. Is this bad for Iowa State? Yes, it definitely is. Is it bad for CFB? I don't think so. I think it makes the general product more compelling. How many teams are going to have a legitimate shot at the playoffs next year? Certainly more than the pre-NIL era.

    Rocco's NIL value

    While I agree that NIL isn't a true market value proposition right now, they're not going to be able to do anything about it until we get to official revenue sharing. This is the entire argument for NIL as it is and I agree with it currently. With few exceptions (Caitlin Clark and she gets...

    Rocco's NIL value

    Listen man, I get your point and there's definitely something to it but the idea of a kid walking out of college with a million dollars, conceding he came from that same "balanced" home and a degree has it made even in today's world. I mean, at retirement age, that's well over $10 million at a...

    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    Concentric to get big, Eccentric to get strong. A few years ago I heard or read that and I was just coming off of Hammer and Chisel (Which is still the best full body workout program IMO) so I did a couple weeks of only eccentric stuff and the strength gains relative to a workout based in...

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

    If Michigan wins, that's how they'll do it. They will have to play a whole lot more clean than they did yesterday, though, because unlike Alabama, you can't give UW free possessions. I would also look for them to be very aggressive in 4th down decisions. They are already but as you play more...

    Liberty Bowl postgame thread

    I’ve been thinking about this. I think I settle out at average. Way too many home runs to be below and way too many misses, particularly on the OL to be much better. I generally like what they do and their plan but you have to win some of those battles like R Mason, Purchase, etc and yes I know...

    So much leftover ham...

    You can do anything. Sandwiches, anything breakfast, scalloped potatoes, soup if you’re a weirdo, ham balls, ham salad, just eat it cold. It’s nearly impossible to screw up.

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    Forgot who I was talking to. He said we were bringing in higher rated players that are more athletic. I then said, participation has not indicated that to be true and he was also wrong that we were actually bringing in higher rated players so neither thing he claimed in regard to WR recruiting...

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    I didn't bring up ratings. I was told we were bringing in higher rated guys and we just aren't. None of any of this is opinion. Objectively, and I posted the numbers, we have a very low hit rate among WR recruits and up through the 2022 class, absolutely none of those trends are changing like he...

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    I mean, that's just not true. There is no one we've recruited that was ranked higher than Scates and the one who was close is gone. The guys purported to be athletic in some way are either gone (Adams) or on defense Tampa, Porter, Cooper). Beni is the only one who would qualify there and it's...

    I get what you mean. It just isn't supported by what's actually happened, at least so far.

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    What do you mean? Two out of the three guys who have been multi-year contributors were in their first two classes and those guys were on rosters with Butler, Lazard, and Ryan who I'd put up against anyone we have now. Like I've said, I don't think this is some huge issue as much as I just want...

    SIGNING DAY CENTRAL 2024

    I think it may still be a guy they want on campus but I also think they know that's not a game they're going to be competitive in and one thing this staff does very well, IMO, is cut bait quickly on guys who they don't think they'll get. They do not waste time on guys that they don't think will...
