Jacob Park Update/Controversy

C
This past weekend, Jacob Park and the Missouri Southern State football team routed Northeastern State 86-7. Park had 8 touchdowns on the day (5 passing, 3 rushing). The game was surrounded with a bit of controversy as Park threw his final touchdown, a 43 yard strike, with 2:47 left in the 4th quarter while up 80-7. Many felt it was poor taste for Park to be in the game little own throwing the ball up by such a wide margin. Missouri Southern State is coached by Jeff Sims of “Last Chance U fame.” He was negatively portrayed while coaching the Garden City Community College football team on the last season of the show.

What is your take on having Park in the game and throwing the ball up 80-7? Is it running it up or just part of the game?

Couple interesting notes—-Northeastern State scores their touchdown on a blocked field goal return. Also, Park has 20 INT’s in 8 games.

JTS - Music vs. The Crowd

C
Warning - 40ish man complaining about loud music ahead.

There are times when the sound system plays over the top of the crowd noise to the determent of the atmosphere. During the 2nd half on Saturday (I believe it was after we had tied the score) the crowd broke into a "Cyclone Power" chant during a TV timeout. However, before too long the music was cranked and the chant quickly died. By the time the game resumed the crowd was quiet again. This isn't the first time I've noticed it this season.

I understand that the music is also for the players. In general, I think the game day atmosphere inside JTS has improved significantly, and the additions of the scoreboard and sound system are part of the reason. If you don't love "Juicy Wiggle" after a 3rd quarter TD, you're probably a closet Hawk fan. However, whoever is in charge of the sound system needs to learn to "read the room" and occasionally just let the crowd do the work.

SB Nation Fan Pulse Poll

Shared OU page's response because it complains that fans didn't rank K-State even though the AP did. It wasn't the fault of fans, it was the fault of the poll. After seeing the poll for the first time last week I signed up to give a more big 12 look to the poll. K-State wasn't even an option to rank. Neither was Oklahoma St or Iowa St. Now time to research who I complain too.

Anyone reading the current rankings knows its extremely faulty. I'm positive most fans ranking did not do research strength of record for teams outside of the top 10 and just used the teams' records.

Game Atmosphere

T
This is my 19th year as a season ticket holder and taking in a game at JTS has been a great experience...it gets better every year! I would love to see ISU handout towels to everyone going into the game or at least the majority of everyone going into the game. Looking over and seeing the towels waving in the students section was awesome! I can only imagine what it would look like if most everyone in the stadium had a towel waving. Penn St. did this a couple weeks ago and it certainly added to the atmosphere.

INSIDER: What I'm hearing on the scrimmage vs. Wisconsin

ChrisMWilliams
I don't have a ton of specifics as far as information goes but did ask around for general thoughts on the scrimmage vs. Wisconsin over the weekend.

The final score was pretty ugly but I'm hearing the damage was done in the second half. Apparently ISU was very strong in the first 20 and then just collapsed in the second.

Not sure exactly what to take from it other than inconsistency should somewhat be expected with this group early on. ISU did lose 80 percent of its scoring from a year ago.

I'd be really interested to hear about lineups, etc. Is ISU exclusively playing with 2 bigs?

Heard that the defense has been rough early, which is gonna be a problem, as this team isn't elite offensively by any means. I guess the good thing is the defense will no doubt get better with more reps. It generally always does.

Sorry I don't have more in the form of specifics. Will work on that today.

WrestleStat's Preseason Rankings - 2020

A
May as well, everyone else is doing it!

This summer we cranked through another couple thousand rounds of simulations to get a new and improved algorithm for the WrestleStat rankings. The 2 major components that were changed and implemented were 1) incorporating the RPI into the algorithm, and 2) moving the 14-match equilibrium to a "per-season" basis. The reason for this change is for the wrestlers that make big improvements later in their careers.

Now that these changes have been applied, we updated both of the dual and tournament rankings. If you've looked at the rankings at all this summer, then you'll notice the difference at the top/#1.

Here they are:

Wrestler Rankings: https://www.wrestlestat.com/rankings/starters

Dual Rankings: https://www.wrestlestat.com/rankings/dual

Tournament Rankings: https://www.wrestlestat.com/rankings/tournament

Don't forget to get signed up for #FantasyCollegeWrestling! The season gets underway on Friday, don't miss out!

CALL TO ARMS: Release Gaming and Hobbies Subforum

Farnsworth
Please turn the gaming and hobbies forum back to opt out and make it public for all to see!! You have killed a once great sub.

It was only opt in because people whined that a mafia thread was always on the front page. Well now it's cool that there are 10 stupid threads about trump constantly on the top of the front page?

And you can't even opt in correctly to the gaming sub without a mod trying to figure out how to force it through.

Take 10 seconds out of your day to fix this as mafia was once a great staple of this site.
