Official "WTF is Wrong With You?" Thread

Just saw this article and those were literally the words I said to myself as I read it.


I've no idea if this thread will stick but I find myself saying this more and more with all the weird sh*t happening out there.

25-26 way too early rankings

I feel for a lot of these teams, especially in the top 10, they are projecting too many freshman in the starting lineup. Need to let the dust settle on the portal. But here we are anyway

High School Soccer Hooligans

Sounds like things got pretty wild down in Keokuk the other night. They ended up with 4 red cards in one game. It's apparently the 2nd time in 3 years they've been disqualified from the post season because of getting too many red cards. Those twitter threads are kind of wild, the players are in there blaming the refs for being out of hand. The superintendent down there apparently felt differently and cancelled the season.

Anyone work out in the morning

I recently switched hours at work and now don't get off until around 5:30. I used to get off at 3:30 and get my workout in. Howerver, with the new schedule I don't want to workout that late. So today I did my first morning workout. My muscles were not ready for this. I am 51 years old so it takes me a little bit longer to get going in the morning. Anyone else work out in the morning. Any prep ideas. How do you just wake up and start working out and a cold body?

NCAA Tourney success-all teams since 1985

Pretty interesting system analyzed here. ISU is #33 with 51 points. Iowa is #55 with 33 points.
Iowa State has 7 S16 or higher finishes. Iowa has 3 such runs.

Bits and Pieces from Today’s Presser

OL and Safeties, Coaches Clanton and Broomfield, Players Tyler Miller, Marcus Neal and Jeremiah Cooper.

Clanton said that Miller is at 6’9” 340 now. Wants to work him on both sides for the flexibility, to appeal to the pros.

Didn’t flat out say it, but it seems blatantly obvious James Neal won the LT—and has improved.

Neal is at 335. Looks solid.

Center will be a tough fight. He said that Jim Bonifas is as smart as anyone, and knows the position.

Among the youngsters, the Helton twins are each working at both C and G.

I think he mentioned Garret Rutledge at RG, but apparently he’s a road grader. At 6’7” that seemed odd—but maybe that’s where they’re breaking him in for a year?

*Inference By Omission
When Clanton mentioned a LOT of IOL, did not mention Deylin Hasert. Still on roster, I assume he’s rehabbing.

When Coach Broom was listing all of the current signees, including those yet to enroll, he did not mention Mason Ellens. The (very stretch) inference here is that Ellens may be at corner when he reports.

Assuming he just didn’t slip his mind.

Ellens may wind up one of the fastest ISU football signees ever—my thoughts.

Coach Broom talked about how physical Marcus Neal is. Marcus said he’s working at Star, sounds like we might have a starter. Along with Coop and Ta’Shawn. I think Jamo Patton will still play a lot.

Sounds like Carson Van Dinter is an athletic monster, but still has some learning to do.

Cam Smith and Drew Surges in the mix, too.

Early enrollee Joshua Patterson working at FS.

Apparently along with WR, Ethan Stecker played DL in HS. Interesting combination. He and LaMarcus Hicks will arrive in summer.
