    REALISTIC expectations for 2023 football season

    they project 8 less plays per game but if you are actually using it as a strategy to shorten the game, seems to me some teams will find it very impactful. if a ball control type team (i.e. ISU...Iowa..KSt...) you might have 12 play 78 yd drives where you pick up 5 1st downs. instead of that...

    REALISTIC expectations for 2023 football season

    5 straight bowls. highest draft picks and most NFL players in ISU history. just signed arguably highest QB recruit in program history. CMC is huge reason for Jack Trice and surrounding area improvements. turned down who knows how many higher profile programs and twice the salary. he'd need at...

    REALISTIC expectations for 2023 football season

    2023 ISU football expectations: pain. but seriously i think Norton and OL coach are a key to winning 6+ games. can we get back to a physical run game? wear teams down in 2nd half. shorten the game keep our D fresh. remember clock runs on 1st downs this year. if can run the ball you can...

    Who will be the leading scorer this year?

    KU lost to the Bahamas National Team with Buddy Hield and Eric Gordon. they will be a favorite to win it all, like every year. they return 3 starters and add Hunter Dickerson. let's just be excited for one of ISU's best rosters we've seen, without trying to compare ourselves to one of most...

    Summer Bahamas Trip

    quick research on this team we're playing, looks like a lot of former mid major level players. think 25 yr old former UNI/Drake players, if anyone was wondering level of competition.

    Do you think non profitable college athletic programs should give out scholarships?

    the question was regarding should we be spending so much $ on olympic sports that generate no revenue. which the main way to cut expenses on those sports is eliminating scholarships. i know Title IX and big 12 rules require a certain number. maybe it's not enough to be relevant. maybe...

    Do you think non profitable college athletic programs should give out scholarships?

    you have an explanation for what "Not Allocated by Gender/Sport" category is? cause pretty certain that's some type of football/basketball $ that is separated for whatever reason. maybe combination of parking and concessions.....? the Big 12 TV $ isn't even included in this that's another...

    Do you think non profitable college athletic programs should give out scholarships?

    you're proving my point for me. if we didnt't give scholarships to any of olympic sports, nobody would care cause hardly anyone outside family/friends of the athletes follow those sports. right? 99% of AD revenue is from football and basketball, cause those are most popular sports fans enjoy...

    Why do you stay a fan of the NFL team you root for? (Kickin it pod)

    if you love football, why would being a hardcore fan of an NFL team be a bad thing? weird take. gotta remind myself CF is the top 1% of ISU fans and a majority of people on here grew up in rural Iowa. a lot of anti-pro sports people on here. which is now funny with how college is going. if...

    Why do you stay a fan of the NFL team you root for? (Kickin it pod)

    it relates to both college and pro. he was talking about ISU playing nearby schools and somehow trying to relate it to NFL teams changing coaches and players every year. isn't the entire point of message boards for pot stirring / debating ? ;)

    Why do you stay a fan of the NFL team you root for? (Kickin it pod)

    listening to Woody on the pod: "roster changes, coach changes, why would you be lifelong Vikings fan or Chiefs fan, it doesn't make rational sense" - paraphrasing Woody Woody is a very smart guy obviously and usually agree with what he's saying. don't quite understand what he was trying to...

    Do you think non profitable college athletic programs should give out scholarships?

    $17.6M makes more sense. total revenue for AD is....$110M or so? i think i saw. don't quote me. pretty high % of revenue going towards olympic sports. not saying i want to eliminate any of them. but it's a fair discussion about how our AD revenue should be allocated, i'm sure it's a main...
