    GB @ SEA NFC 'SHIP??

    I was just about to post the same article. I don't like Reilly much, but I think he does a good job of explaining how Cutler has a way of getting on people's nerves a little bit. Another big reason for me is I was a Bronco fan living in Chicago when the trade took place. I never really...

    NFL: John Fox new Denver Bronco Head Coach

    You are forgiven as that was the first link I went to when I was trying to find the score. Surprising that it doesn't have an up-to-date list.

    5 for 5

    I got selected to shoot once while I was in college. It wasn't the 5 for 5 but the progressive jackpot by the construction company. If you made it - you won $50, if you missed the next person had a chance at $100 and so on. Anyway, it is extremely difficult to shoot in front of 10,000+...

    NFL: John Fox new Denver Bronco Head Coach

    Aren't you forgetting: Broncos 27 - Pats 13 in 2006? Or do you just use facts that support your case, and eliminate all others?

    Next years schedule just got more difficult

    From all the things I have read it looks like there will be a rookie cap starting this year if/when the new CBA gets signed.

    I hate Golden Rules

    Because if we can't get fans to buy a $10 gold/yellow t-shirt then how can we expect more than 4 people to show up with sombreros? Plus, with our luck sombrero night will likely coincide with us playing anyone but a Texas school and fans will think we are doing it because we are too scared of...

    I hate Golden Rules

    I'm hoping you are being funny, but the fact that Kansas is the other team has nothing to do with the Golden Rules promotion. Unless, of course, you factor in that the only reason we are on ESPN2 tonight is because we are playing Kansas.

    I hate Golden Rules

    I don't think the Gold Rules has anything to do with Kansas' second color being red. I think it has everything to do with the game being on ESPN2 and presenting a cool camera shot for them. That and maybe (I'm hoping but doubting) our team will come out with some gold uni's as well.

    NFL: Fantasy Football Advice

    I initially thought Tomlinson, because the Jets may not score at all (see 45-3). However, I would sit Rice as Pit's D has had a week to rest and generally doesn't give up much to the RB anyway. If you must start Rice then I would sit Mendenhall because Balt's D isn't a picnic either.

    ISU's FB Graduation Rate

    I understand what you are saying, and it is a great argument. However, you bring in the can ISU succeed in FB without taking academic risks question when I think you first must ask can ISU succeed in FB. If ISU were to succeed in FB would you prefer we went the troubled JC route a la K-State...

    ISU's FB Graduation Rate

    I disagree. I don't want to post it here because it will be too easy for a troll from a certain school to the East to take and rub in our faces, but schools can succeed and recruit a certain type of player that is more likely to graduate. To me, and trust me I am not trying to point a finger...

    ISU's FB Graduation Rate

    I'm not suggesting that anyone strives to finish at 64%. But there must be some measures that some programs opt to take where they are consistently above average.

    ISU's FB Graduation Rate

    I know it can be a bit confusing, but No, I am saying that I would like Iowa State to be better than average at graduating our student athletes. I included the general student #'s for comparison sake and because I thought they were interesting as well.

    ISU's FB Graduation Rate

    Transfers happen at every school. I think we at Iowa State lean on that and act like it is our excuse for everything. We wouldn't have "the greatest scout team since sliced bread" if other schools didn't have transfers as well. Comparing these statistics to the general graduation rate and the...

    Another cool site that adds the graduation rate into the BCS formula. It will never happen, but it a cool idea. Higher Education Initiative | NewAmerica.net

    ISU's FB Graduation Rate

    I was reading TMQ on espn.com (direct link to the article: Stanford and TCU prove that academics and athletics can coexist, so why aren't more schools held to that standard? - ESPN ) and thought to check out this website: NCAA Education and Research Data - APR, GSR, Federal Graduation Rates, ASR...

    TV ratings down for 4 of 5 BCS games

    Mickey Mouse Conglomerate to you: We chose to air the 2011 BCS National Championship game on cable instead of OTA because 2010 saw a massive reduction of people opting to purchase cable packages and by offering one of our most prized assets (TV rights to that game and others) only on cable we...
