    MONDAY: Big 12 press conference scheduled for 5:30

    Seems like the new news is that the conference could be working arm in arm with the networks, meaning no expansion, and the big12 members receiving cash to not expand. If this is the case, it seems like the best option for now would be to get the networks to agree to pay a fraction of the money...

    I'm doing a podcast with Prohm today ... questions?

    What's your biggest guilty pleasure for food? Are the players hinting at more of a press defense this year because we plan to go 10 deep every game? Or are we willing to average less than 80 pts/game to create more havoc with a 7-8 deep rotation? I would assume that we will score less per...

    Iowa State vs. UALR Predictions

    I just talked to White Goodman, and he told me that he really wants to win this one.

    TJ Otzelberger versus the other Assistant Coaches - Recruiting

    Agreed. Look at what the football staff did in 2 months. Guys come from other programs, hopefully with relationships already established with good players. I guess on the flip side to that, Small and Robinson are coming from Murray State and Loyola-Chicago..going to need more talent than what...

    TJ Otzelberger versus the other Assistant Coaches - Recruiting

    I'm curious if anyone would have any thoughts or information as to why TJ still does all the recruiting? That's how it seems at least with him traveling with Prohm to see Darrell Bowie as an example. When Fred was here, TJ did most of the recruiting leg-work. Not much has changed now that Steve...

    Terrible Loss?

    I'm not sure how anyone at this point can argue that lack of depth is not an issue. Jordan and Hallice don't get that many minutes, and Deonte's minutes are up and down. We all know that the Big12 is a grind. But take Naz out of the equation and that really puts pressure on the starting 5 to...

    Wow, Maybe a little house cleaning needed CW???

    No need to apologize, some people have nothing better to do than b****

    Jamie is handing out Twitter justice!

    I guess that just brings me back to my original point, all the money in the world doesn't solve your problems if you aren't doing things the right way. "I love that our AD doesn't take crap from anybody regardless of whether they donate or not. Last thing we need is to be in a spot like Texas...

    Jamie is handing out Twitter justice!

    You wouldn't do it if you didn't like/agree with the $50 million donor. What if someone donated $50 million on the condition of bringing Chizik back?

    Jamie is handing out Twitter justice!

    Maybe, maybe not. I guess I just hope he didn't, I like to think he doesn't give a ####. It's an absurd notion to believe that the more money you donate to a program, the more visibility you have and the more weight your comments carry. Anybody with any idea could walk into the athletic...

    Jamie is handing out Twitter justice!

    I love that our AD doesn't take crap from anybody regardless of whether they donate or not. Last thing we need is to be in a spot like Texas, having to give special treatment to all the high-maintenance boosters. They don't even need the money. Now they have to find a replacement AD and...

    Motivator vs Head Coach...

    This is unfair and ridiculous. This is unrealistic. It's Iowa State football. Even if we caught lightening in a bottle, your genius new head coach would move on in two years time. Then it's back to square one. How many times can JP consistently catch lightening in a bottle? I'm not saying...

    Am I the Only One?

    Agree, people can be ****ing miserable on here.

    FIRE PAUL RHOADS!!

    Yeah, there were busts. Sedrick Johnson was a waste of a perfectly good scholarship. But there were good ones too for sure.

    FIRE PAUL RHOADS!!

    I'm not completely sold on sub-par development by the staff. I think Rhoads' staff sucks at recruiting compared to Chizik. The one good thing Chizik did was find good raw talent. I would argue that Rhoads' guys can development can coach them up, get the most out of his guys. But the guys...

    FIRE PAUL RHOADS!!

    If the next 10 years were like the last two seasons, I'm pretty sure I would not be in favor of keeping Rhoads. Don't put words in my mouth.

    FIRE PAUL RHOADS!!

    Give credit where it's due. You say 7 years and 1 winning season, but don't mention 3 bowl appearances in those 7 years. Almost half the his tenure going to bowls with a program that hardly ever went to bowl games over it's history.

    FIRE PAUL RHOADS!!

    Agreed. I'm just saying that everyone needs to chill on the whole fire Rhoads talk. Everyone talks about how the fan base is so strong and the fans deserve a winner. Well I would argue that excitement in football increased to what it is now solely because of Rhoads. The fans have kept coming...

    FIRE PAUL RHOADS!!

    So you're assuming we still would've beat Texas with Mangino calling plays?

    FIRE PAUL RHOADS!!

    Yeah I'm sure the Big12 will fall flat during bowl season again. But whether we play nobody's or not, we spent half the season with an OC that wanted to do things his way and not the way the rest of the staff wanted to do. With that kind of disfunction JP isn't going to make a rash decision to...
