College basketball opening day is upon us. What is your projected Final Four 2020?

I'll post mine in a bit.

First of all, I had no clue this was coming. Caught me off guard. I was in a meeting, got out of it and my phone had blown up with the news.

Called around ... sounds like things weren't going well with either. I don't know specifics. Do know neither was going to make an impact this year. Not sure if it was attitude or what. But I'm getting the feeling that this is going to be a better deal for all parties just breaking up now and not delaying the inevitable.

Doesn't sound like there is any ill-will on the ISU side. Prohm said he will help both guy find landing spots, but I would be surprised if either are at the high-major level.

Let's all wish them both the best.

Most entertaining thing to happen so far in this Giants-Cowboys game

Tomorrows schedule of games on tv got me thinking (Duke, KU, Michigan State, Kentucky) . Why is it that all the teams in the state of Iowa cant get big time teams to come play them out of conference? We all play schools of the blind pre conference. Only exception was a few years back when UNI somehow got #1 UNC to come play them in Cedar Falls and beat them somehow. How fun would it be to see a game like that in the pre conference schedule in Hilton?

@AlexHalsted Iowa State freshmen forward Luke Anderson has entered the transfer portal, per a source.

Wow before the first game. Good luck to Luke.

Adding in Leech is leaving too...

@AlexHalsted Prohm said Marcedus Leech is transferring as well. Opens up some recruiting possibilities.

@RandyPete Per Prohm: Anderson and Leech in transfer portal
@RandyPete Prohm said it’s possible to land a second-semester transfer

Dude had a rough day. His twitter account was suspended minutes after the week 9 loss to Denver.

Saw this article online. A person in Minnesota is buying carloads of Krispy Kreme doughnuts and re-selling them in Minnesota for a higher price to help pay for student loans. People are willing to pay more since there is no more Krispy Kreme locations in Minnesota. Krispy Kreame apparently called him and said he can't do it any more. I guess I don't know how they could limit this. I don't see anything illegal about this, especially since there is no stores in Minnesota and he is not getting a discount from the Iowa stores.

Didn't see a record prediction thread... mods please delete if someone already did one and I missed it.

I'm not super optimistic. Too many new pieces and a history of Prohm taking time to experiment first and worry about wins later. Thinking 18-13 and about .500 in conference. Hopefully on the right side of the bubble.

Wrote some things...

The guy who wrote the infamous Carson King story with his view of what happened.

Part of the CFB 150 anniversary, ESPN has a panel of 150 media members, athletic administrators and former players and coaches who compile different lists throughout the season.

This week, they have compiled the 150 greatest games of all time

1. Nebraska 35, Oklahoma 31 (1971)
2. Miami (FL) 31, Nebraska 30 (Orange Bowl - 1984)
3. Appalachian State 34, Michigan 32 (2007)
4. Boston College 47, Miami (FL) 45 (1984)
5. Penn State 14, Miami (FL) 10 (Fiesta Bowl - 1987)
6. Notre Dame 31, Miami (FL) 30 (1988)
7. Texas 41, USC 38 (Rose Bowl - 2006)
8. Penn State 27, Georgia 23 (Sugar Bowl - 1983)

97. Iowa State 37, #2 Oklahoma State 31 (2OT)
Nov. 18, 2011
The Cowboys' best-ever chance at finishing No. 1 went awry on a Friday night in Ames. The Cowboys went ahead by 17 points in the third quarter. But Iowa State scored a touchdown with 5:30 left to tie it. After trading TDs in the first over time, Ter'Ran Benton picked off Brandon Weeden to set the stage for Cyclones' RB Jeff Woody's winning 4-yard TD run.

Figured we might as well start a thread.

Florida State was first.

An interesting USC article with a couple mentions of not being interested in Urban, and a CMC mention at the end.
