Baylor Gold Uniforms

EKFuwjEXsAIfJP0


I've thought Baylor's Uniforms have looked similar to ours all season, just swapping the green for cardinal and obviously our Cyclone numbers. Not that I want to look anything like Baylor, but I would like to see a gold helmet and gold pants in the future. Not sold on all gold yet, but I just think all reds are too plain.

I'm not a coach but....(playcalling)

So before everyone jumps all over me about "CMC knows better than all of us" and "you aren't a coach so you dont know" talk. I would like to know 2 things about our play calling.

1. Offense : We have Breece Hall, the guy runs for positive gains and makes people miss. We have a line that opens holes for him and he averages over 4 yards a carry. Why do you stop feeding him the rock the entire 2nd half? We become so 1 dimensional on offense instead of wearing down a defense and holding a lead!

2. Defense : Why do we constantly see 3rd and 10, 3rd and 12, 2 and 35 etc etc, and we rush 3, get zero pressure on the quarterback (obviously) and the other teams offense consistently gets 1st downs? It is maddening. I wish someone would run a stat to see what team leads the nation is 3rd and longs given up, because we would have to be near the top. I for one would rather see a 3rd and 4 or 3rd and 6 versus a 3rd and long with this team because of the way we soften our playcalling.

Great to get a win this week, but that game should never have been in doubt. If we pressure Elinger like we did the rest of the 1st half it is 10 to 0 and we roll in a victory instead of biting our nails into the last seconds down by 1.

Ok Trolls, attack!

Mobile Season Tickets

Has anyone done these? Overall thoughts on getting them? I'm thinking about doing them as I have some friends that want to go to the ISU/Iowa game this year and maybe a few more. If I buy say 8 mobile passes, can I give individual game tickets to other people with the same mobile app? Could you screen shot the ticket and actually sell the ticket to someone? Just trying to get to as many games as possible without spending a lot. Normally I'd just try to make around 3-4 games a year, so this option would be a better buy I think since the Iowa game would be at least $100.

Friday OT #2 - The Weirdest of the Weird

I have a few bands that I really enjoy, but are so goofy or weird or silly that they've never really become huge. What are some of yours - post some videos!

Here are a few:

Yard Care for Dummies

Yet another lawn care thread! Since most of the threads are more of a specific question I thought I would start one for a general when do I do xyz kind of a thing. Not looking to live on Augusta National or anything but I do like having a decent looking yard.

So when are the best times to dethatch, aerate, plant grass seed, fertilize etc? Also on the seed and fertilizer front what do you use and where do you get it?
