False. BYU alum. Crumbl is the reason we don’t have CMC anymore, kind of.

i mean... he might have gotten the michigan job instead.

that dead cat has bounced.

Gross

that is what we wanted IMO. as much recovery time as possible for JJ.

Are some of you being forced to listen to KXNO Clockwork Orange style or something? I just don’t get all the anger. Iowa may be the bigger story this week because they just beat the defending champs. It is what it is.

Would suspect most of the nation (1 tv viewers) will be watching Arizona-Arkansas game at that time.

that game will be on Thursday night though right?

My bad, you are right.

They started like we started, but without the defense needed to turn the tide

I think you’d better google Todd Golden…

Have to win the next game obviously but would be pretty surprised if we aren't the early game on Sunday for the Elite 8. I'm sure CBS will want that East Region match-up for their late game.

Big 12 really faded as the top league but injuries for both tech and byu changed their seasons.

As bad as the sec has been they still have two title contenders left and then Tennessee and Texas.

Big ten is just dominating right now. No argument there.

The big 12 only hope to save some reputation is going to be winning the whole thing. If houston can get by Illinois they may have the best shot

Those two SEC teams are not title contenders. Bama maybe but Tenn and Texas are no where near that caliber

Expecting it

I am doubting it.

Are you forgetting Arizona?

I’m not a Florida fan at all, and most definitely not a fan of Golden, but I don’t have to listen to their fans all day every day…. and ISU very rarely has to compete with Florida for recruits in anything either.

Iowa winning at anything is NOT good for ISU…. period!! I can’t believe how soft and nice ISU fans have gotten on Iowa? Is it just because we beat them in nearly everything now! Well…. that won’t last if we don’t keep them down!

That's old school thinking.

Local media is dead. Hell, KGAN just announced they're not even going to have live newscasts anymore, everything is either going to be canned or national.

Everybody seeks out their own sports echo chamber so you don't have to be exposed to what you don't want to be like you did 20 years ago

Plus, in state recruiting is super rare for both programs and that combined with NIL makes potential recruits care even less about what happens in the past with individual programs.

I am doubting it.

Me too now. We will see.
