Well, as you know
@cyrocksmypants and I have decided to give you all a weekly mailbag and here is the first one of them. Lots of good questions this week (and lots of bad ones - but we answered them anyway). In the words of
@ChrisMWilliams : "Enjoy!"
***Official Insider Information Weekly Mailbag 10/2/19***
Presented by Coleman Tents. Coleman - helping Cyclone fans pitch their tents everywhere in the US (except for Waco, TX at the request of Baylor and the BigXII office)
Cmjh10 asks: Should we blow up the football program and replace it with baseball? And then later in the same day follows up with: Instead of baseball, how about we start an esports team with the football money?
GTO: The fact that you changed your mind so quickly about baseball rules that first question out. Now, esports? Maybe Tom Manning can learn some new plays from some Madden 2019. I’ll even settle for some Tecmo Bowl plays.
Pants: There’s a lot of money to be had in eSports, and a lot less CTE cases. Most money is made through endorsements, and with California now passing a law allowing college athletes to make money on endorsements, I expect that to grow even more. Give it about ten years and we’ll start to see the switch.
Jcyclonee asks: Pants isn't a hot chick?
Pants: You’ve met me, you know the answer to this.
GTO: I wouldn’t. But maybe you’re into that kind of thing. I don’t judge.
CySmurf observed: You guys are off to a hell of a start. Lol
GTO: Just like ISU football, we’re only at our best after September.
Pants: You start out the game with a simple run, not a flea flicker.
Jacktronic asks: What are you both wearing right now?
Pants: I’m currently laying in bed, putting off getting up to start my work day, so, as all sophisticated people sleep, I’m all nude, baby.
GTO: I’m Porky Pigging it, just in case I have a video call and need to be seen from the waist up.
NWICY asks: Next time the FB team gets a win? I'm saying this Sat. against TCU.
GTO: I wish I had your confidence. TCU brings a freshman QB to the Jack, so we need to rattle him early and often. Also, has TCU recovered from their propensity to commit turnovers last year? If not, that should also help. Lastly, will they let us pitch our tents this time?
Pants: Saturday. I had TCU as a win in the pre-season, and I’ve seen nothing from either team that would make me change that.
JM4CY asks: Suppose you actually have a date with an attractive woman (not an escort @GTO ) , highly hypothetical obviously, what Cyclone sporting event would you take her to, past, present OR future? (Any and all in play here, JTS, Hilton, P and L district, CCG, etc.)
Pants: Seneca Wallace’s The Run game against Texas Tech. Fun game, exciting win, iconic moment, was a nice chilly night where she’ll cuddle up with you to keep warm. Celebrate the win afterward appropriately. No brainer.
GTO: Pinstripe bowl. Anything I did would be great in comparison to that huge letdown of a game.
Sigmapolis asks: Have you used your dog to try to pick up girls, @cyrocksmypants? Do chicks dig the corgi?
Pants: He’s the only way to pick up girls. Chicks love him. He’s really made my game incredibly lazy, though.
Malone rant/raged: Pants pulled false information out of thin air in the Malou/Lard situations, presented it as fact, was called ….. ZZZZZZZ…
Pants: I love this sort of thing. The funny thing is, I actually DO have sources. Much more basketball related than football related. Usually I’m just messing around when someone tags me in a post for football information. Granted, since Hoiberg left, one of my sources is no longer there and the others are weaker, because Prohm is much more tight about who has what information, but I know a person or two that work within the AD.
GTO: Are you questioning our insider sources? One of my sources gets all her info directly from Tommy Birch at least once a week.
