    *** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

    Thank you for sharing that link to our local station; I dont ever watch normal OTA TV, and dont have cable, so I would never have seen this otherwise!

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    Is truly fair to tar an entire fanbase because a few tryhard uber loudmouths decide to strut around? I am 150% certain Iowa State has some such troublemakers, as does every fanbase. In a medium where we cant see each others faces or hear vocal tones, it seems only fair to *try* and give...

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    I apologize.. I thought the meme of "Circle of suck" was wider spread than it apparently is. PAC12 was notorious for canniblaism, but at least twice, maybe 3 times in 13 years there was a completed chain of defeats in the members - here is an example The Pac 12 Circle of Suck is COMPLETE...

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    Classy way to treat a 100% disabled service connected Navy veteran; ironically I was a Hospital Corpsman -- all those years healing others only to end up suffering so many problems as a result. Chronic/recurring problems with my knees led to a MRSA infection, per doctor, I barely survived the...

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    I'm sorry... <shrug>. I tried to be as clear and honest about being very happy for your great stroke of fortune. Sometimes there are genuine people on the interwebz, ya know. I realize one of the big drawbacks to texting, boardposting, etc, is the lack of context clues from voice tone of...

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    Just wanted to pop on and show y'all some of we "Red Iowa" folks are definitely in your corner! I wish I could have watched live, but I don't have the proper service. In any case, congrats on your contribution to this years Big 12 Circle of Suck. I have totally lost track of who beat who, who...

    Congrats from a BYU fan!

    I'm addressing specifically their period of "independence". Their AD et al were so angry about not being taken with Utah to PAC, that someone somehow deluded themselves into thinking leaving MWC was a brilliant idea. Sigh. Not so much. While the temptation to schadenfreude is definitely...

    Congrats from a BYU fan!

    YOU try wandering in the desert of Independence but at power 5 tier for over a decade, with no championship to play for, and after the first loss it's all for some meaningless bowl.. you, too, would be ecstatic to be jumping back into the big pond. For someone like me who grew up admiring BYU...

    BYU blackout uniforms for ISU night game.

    All of us up in SLC are nursing our wounds from the bizarre near miss in Seattle. BUt we're nearly all universally pulling for ISU tonight! Hoping the black uniforms turn out to be prophetic (yeah .. I did a religious joke - sue me) ;)

    Bye Week Browsing - Big12 Fanboards/blogs

    Greeting all.. took me a few days to get around to posting, but here it is. I took most of the past week after our BYE to try and find more different fan boards etc to try and prep for next year and the Big 16 or whatever. I'm already familiar with the following places - Utefans.net (home...

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    I cant actually remember any conference "getting rid " of ANYONE... it is always the schools themselves choosing to leave. And I'm thinking al the way back in the 70s.. but that far back my memory becomes a bit ... iffy.

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    well this Pat Forde tweet certainly didn't age well, after today's complete asswhooping at Autzen. That God Deion is so fond of invoking apparently decided that he and his eye-gouging azzhole of a primadonna son needed some humbling. "Mission Accomplished". That said, I wish the *university...

    *** Official UNI vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    As Pam from "ARCHER" loves to say, "holy s***snacks!!" Things have gone absolutely ugly as hell for No. Iowa. Glad you guys are having a helluva home kickoff for the season. Sort of doing to them what Utes/Smithson did to y'all way back when :oops::eek::explode:

    *** Official UNI vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    GO CYCLONES! Rooting for y'all from scenic Salt Lake City... where we Utes are recovering from a hefty dinner of roasted Gator (it was VERY hot on the field in first half!). When I look on a map and see how relatively close Ames, Cedar Falls, and Iowa City are, I realized it must make for some...

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    It was pretty much that farce of 1984 and BYU being "champions" that pissed off enough of the big hitters/heavy rollers in CFB so that they were inspired to create the BCS so that garbage couldn't happen again. As people are pointing out in comparing Whittingham's legendary tenure at Utah...

    COLUMN: Welcome to the conversation, hypocrites

    Believe me, calling someone out for the insanity of taking one media post as some sort of gospel truth is hardly "being a jackwagon", especially when that ridiculous hot take is used to bash someone, when there hasnt even been any actual athletic activity yet.. Call me names if you must, won't...

    COLUMN: Welcome to the conversation, hypocrites

    Utah is in NO WAY 2nd to BYU, except on the occasional year when their overall athletics results might be collectively better. They got a ridiculously false and inflated propaganda boost from the weakness of NCAA football around the pandemic era, when they played how many truly weakened teams? I...

    COLUMN: Welcome to the conversation, hypocrites

    you just described BYU post WAC/MWC... 40 years later still bragging about winning the voting popularity contest, without actually proving much on the field.. Especially the team they beat to end the season.

    COLUMN: Welcome to the conversation, hypocrites

    are you truly so simpleminded as to take one interview with KW musing over possibilities as any sort of concrete speculation for the future? Frankly it's more likely BYU will bail or get booted once the conference gets to deal with their special brand of garbage - think Baylor, but with the...

    COLUMN: Welcome to the conversation, hypocrites

    Your comment about the top half of the mega conference splitting off to form a new one is ***EXACTLY*** what happened to the very first mega conference - the WAC16 in the late 90s. Utah, TCU, BYU, Colorado State, Air Force, etc all bailed to create the Mountain West. Who could have imagined...
