    What if, 4 team dream

    Lots of people don't want these lesser programs. So which powerhouse is coming to this B12 and what is the reason they pick the B12? Yes the money that was reported today was good, but the B10 is reloading with new tv deals that are left open to more $$ as they bring in more teams. The B10 makes...

    What would ISU do with a decent kicker?

    When Miller and Deace were doing sports radio, they took a 5 year stretch and flip flopped the kickers. During that time Iowa was winning close games and ISU was losing close games. All of them game down to how the kicker performed. I don't recall the exact numbers, but Nate Kaeding at ISU and...

    COLUMN: Why I like the OVER for ISU at 3.5

    Last 20 matchups, ISU is 7-13 ATS vs Iowa. When betting this game and taking ISU, better to take the moneyline. You will be getting plus money and you want ISU to win anyway. ISU is 10-10 the last 20 vs Iowa.

    COLUMN: Why I like the OVER for ISU at 3.5

    When betting a game or an over under, it's also good to ask why/how does ISU only win 3 games or less? What could happen to cause that? The over 3.5 is juiced even so $100 bet pays $100. So as long as you think it's more than 50% likely to happen it's worth a wager. How much more likely...

    COLUMN: Why I like the OVER for ISU at 3.5

    Using a couple factors Phil Steele uses: Teams that are net -3 in close games (7points or less) have same or better record 77% of the time the next year. Teams that are -10+ in turnovers have a better record the following year 66% of the time. Turnovers were so painful last year it hurts to...

    What if, 4 team dream

    What if 50% of the Iowa St fan base didn't play "what if" we played Iowas schedule? What if that 50% last year in late October, November was more worried about how things were going in Ames and not concerned about "I hope Iowa finally gets beat." Yes, both fan bases have a segment that do that...

    What if, 4 team dream

    Was implying if ISU played in a major bowl game, how crazy would the fan base be about it. If ISU made a run like KU did how many fans would show up? 40,50,60k? How crazy would the buzz be that season? Bringing in schools that want to be in the B12 at this time would help ISU chances of this...

    What if, 4 team dream

    After ACC implodes, Pitt, BC, and Syracuse would be available to join. They don't fit SEC and Big10 will already have their part in that market.

    What if, 4 team dream

    Grab some teams now to be stable, then when the ACC implodes grab what the B10 and SEC don't grab.

    What if, 4 team dream

    But who that has history is picking the B12 as a home? Ideally getting a historic program would be great. If B10 or SEC want them they will go there. B10 and their $$ is eyeing expansion.

    What if, 4 team dream

    What if ISU played in a bowl game that mattered? What if ISU ended up in the Mtn West when things were nearly to that point in 2011? What if the B12 got some mediocre teams to join that ISU could beat in football and stabilize the conference. No big name is coming to the B12. It's a dream in the...

    What if, 4 team dream

    FSU, Virginia, UNC, GA Tech are not coming to the B12. If the plan is to wait, it will be a fight with SEC to get the best remaining teams from the ACC. The 4 above will likely go B10. When all said and done, 4 conferences with 20 teams. 10 in each division, play 9 division conference games and...

    What if, 4 team dream

    He would definitely help cut down the number of missed tackles. Also would cut down the number of players cramping up!

    What if, 4 team dream

    What if the 4 teams lobbying got into the B12? How about B12 north with ISU, KU, K St, WV, Memphis, Cincy, UCONN. B12 south with Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, OU, OK St, Houston, TCU. The schedule could set up where u play your 6 division opponents, 2 cross overs random rotation, and 4 non...

    Phil Steele #s, ISU season Wins, & ...Beer???

    SyracuseCyclone Boykin likely will be at WR or RB and on kick returns this yr with the Texas A&M transfer Matt Joeckel playing QB. TCU will be tough this yr. TCU should be an 8 win team. For the 1st time since joining B12 they have a team with upperclassmen. Completely agree about Toledo...

    Phil Steele #s, ISU season Wins, & ...Beer???

    Isu81 I lean towards 4 wins also. ND St graduated lots of players. ISU Is 13-2 last 15 home openers in Ames. ISU has won 4 straight vs Kansas by average of 19 pts. ISU is also 6-3 last 9 home finales (play WV this yr). Now ISU needs to beat Toledo and ISU will have 4 wins. Plus ISU is capable...

    Phil Steele #s, ISU season Wins, & ...Beer???

    Many college football fanatics read Steele's magazine each summer. While reading it and his blog from June 30 I noticed ISU was a team that met some of his trends. Last yr ISU was 3-9 and Sportsbooks have O/U @ 3.5 for 2014. ISU netted 3 close losses last yr. ISU won 1 game by a TD or less but...

    ISU projected game lines & % to win each game

    Incyte Other than ND St game lines are based on power ratings and do not figure in public perception. Boyd As for Iowa and KSU, Iowa is favored by more over ISU than KSU is favored because game is at Iowa while KSU plays at ISU. On a neutral field ISU would be +12.5 vs KSU and +9.5 vs Iowa...

    ISU projected game lines & % to win each game

    Melvin, As with most ISU games no lines are out yet. All the games are based on numbers but the ND ST, game which is based more on perception. The Golden Nugget in Vegas has lines for a couple ISU games. The projected lines are based on power ratings from Chris Andrews (former bookmaker in...
