Lincoln coach to face possible charges for yelling

at the ref. First off, if you watch the video of the hit. The ref should be suspended, the Dowling player should be suspended and a 15 yard against the Lincoln coach. However, criminal charges against the coach? What a joke. I am not sure how the ref didn't see this as intentional targeting. Not sure in high school if the kid get's kicked out like college and Pros.

Big 12 Championship Game Projection

Hey, y'all. I've done this the past two years, and we're far enough into the season that I think it makes sense running the scenarios again.

Basically, this is 100,000 Monte Carlo simulations of the rest of the Big 12 football season in Python, using Ken Massey’s rating system for the odds for every remaining game.

Here are the chances for each team to make the Big 12 Championship Game. The parenthetical is their regular-season chances of finishing 1st and 2nd.

Oklahoma: 87.7% (61.6% 1st, 26.1% 2nd)
Texas: 72.8% (30.6% 1st, 42.2% 2nd)
Baylor: 17.1% (4.2% 1st, 12.9% 2nd)
Iowa St.: 6.9% (1.4% 1st, 5.6% 2nd)
Oklahoma St.: 5.1% (0.8% 1st, 4.3% 2nd)
Texas Tech: 4.1% (0.4% 1st, 3.8% 2nd)
TCU: 3.7% (0.6% 1st, 3.0% 2nd)
West Virginia: 2.1% (0.3% 1st, 1.8% 2nd)
Kansas St.: 0.4% (0.1% 1st, 0.3% 2nd)
Kansas: c'mon

And here are the Championship Game matchups that have at least a 1% chance of happening:

Oklahoma/Texas: 61.7%
Baylor/Oklahoma: 11.8%
Iowa St./Oklahoma: 4.8%
Baylor/Texas: 4.4%
Oklahoma/Texas Tech: 3.3%
Oklahoma St./Texas: 2.7%
Oklahoma/TCU: 2.6%
Oklahoma/Oklahoma St.: 2.1%
Iowa St./Texas: 1.6%
Oklahoma/West Virginia: 1.1%

(Slight boring caveat: The program only goes through the first two tiebreakers, since the third tiebreaker involves points and would be a pain in the butt to model. That said, the first two tiebreakers -- and situations with no tiebreaker necessary -- covered 99.6% of the simulations, so the odds wouldn’t change much.)

And finally, here’s Iowa State’s chances of ending up at any given record and their chances of making the championship game at that record:

ISU record chances:
3-9: 0.3%
4-8: 3.9%
5-7: 16.0%
6-6: 30.0%
7-5: 29.7%
8-4: 15.8%
9-3: 4.0%
10-2: 0.4%

ISU odds of championship game at record:
7-5: 0.4%
8-4: 19.9%
9-3: 82.8%
10-2: 100.0%

Anyone want the odds for different scenarios, just ask -- they're easy to do.

Why was Brock still in the game for the last two possessions?

Spoiler alert:
This is NOT a thread about Re’al Mitchell’s playing time.

I am respectfully wondering why Brock was still in the game when the game went to 49-24 with several minutes and two (I believe) possessions remaining for our offense?

CMC is the best coach we’ve ever had in my 40 years of watching Cyclone Football- so I’m not here to second guess CMC. However, I don’t want to see Brock get hurt after the game was well in hand. I thought Re’al should’ve been the QB at this point to protect Brock and to give Re’al some valuable reps.

Should ISU start overselling student tickets?

I realize not every game is going to be a huge draw for the crowd and for students. But I have noticed the last couple games there is plenty of room for more students in particular.

I know they only sell the amount of tickets for the seats available for students for football, unlike they do for basketball, where the sell more than capacity and only allow so many scans in.
With student season tickets selling out so early, well before the school year, I assume we have the opportunity to sell more.

Then on game days, those days the student section may always be full or close to full, even when its a game where its not as big of a draw. Of course on the huge games there will be a line to get in just like in basketball, but this would not only help sell more student tickets, but also keep that section full during all the games.
All of this would increase fan excitement, game atmosphere, and future fans.

Of course I think we are also at the point where if we continue to improve, this section will continue to be full most of the time anyway, and also continue to out early. But there is always some people that can't come or don't come to all the games. Overselling, would at least allow for people to fill those spots.

We may need room for more student tickets in the near future too which I don't think is an option unless we oversell seats or expand the stadium, something I don't see on the horizon for a decade or so.

Its just a thought.

Two year old bill received yesterday

Opened a bill that I got in yesterday’s mail

Didn’t recognize the company and noticed it had old insurance information

It was for a glucose meter receiver that supposedly shipped in July 2017.

Insurance did not pay anything. Maybe because the claim was two years old.

Will call tomorrow and ask questions

Anyone have experience with getting the first bill two years after ?

Squib kicks

Surprised to not see any posts about this. I presume the idea was to try to capitalize on wet field conditions. First one was a puzzling surprise to everyone sitting near me. The 2nd one was a near disaster. Almost set them up to score late in the first half. I'm guessing he just didn't hit it quite "right" to get the big bounce or hop? Only Walden and/or Rhoads would go for a surprise onside kick at that point of the game! LOL!
3rd one worked great! That said, we were glad to see them kick away deep after that.

Sophomore Class Offense

Purdy already starting to carve up some good defenses got me thinking about how good he could be as an upperclassmen. Six offensive starters from the current soph class:

Purdy
Lang
Kolar
Milton
Downing (RS FR)
Newell

Need a couple of playmakers on the perimiter to emerge and some holes to be filled on the offensive line.

Confiscated by security

I had my clear plastic bag and in it I had rain ponchos, two bottles of water and a roll of paper towels to dry off seats.

First inspection was fine. No problem.

After the ticket scan I was approached and told I couldn’t keep the paper towels.

Did they think this old lady was going to throw the paper towels? I could do more harm with a corn dog

What are we learning today in the Big 12?

Looks like WVU might be better than we thought, but they turn the ball over a lot. Should be an interesting game.

TT might not be as bad as we thought, although OSU is their usual Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide on the road.

Baylor might be better than we thought or KSU might not be as good, time will tell.

TX pass defense looks vulnerable,but they will be tough to start.
