All FB coaching rumors and speculation

Good point.

Fred leaving for the NBA wasn’t that much of a surprise.

Chizik was a surprise but not a big loss.

Maybe people didn’t believe the Eustachy news at first?

Too young to remember Floyd leaving for the Bulls.

Seems like we’re more conditioned for in-game heartbreak.

Yeah.. things like, "OK. We have a 10 point lead and the ball with 1:30 left in the 4th quarter. It is preposterous to think we could somehow lose this game in regulation!!"

(Details might be off a little)

Although I don't react the same way now as BC (Before Campbell) days, even if a bad outcome happens.

Hope it’s true, but I think this guy has no idea what he is talking about. He might be correct , but if he is, it would be known by now.

Even if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, it’s highly likely to happen.

Necessary. Will reduce foot traffic at S. 4th, S. 16th, and random points along University.

Agree, there will also be a bridge over Worle creek and path leading from S 16th to the new bridge ramp to divert people off S 16 to the new bridge into the stadium. It will be nice. We have an RV so it will be cool to walk right up and into the stadium as well.

Must be nice, I have a van down by the river!

Serious question: what are people's take on this bridge? I know a guy that is SUPER pissed about this "Bridge to Nowhere".

Good deal for the RV tailgate crowd. JP is moving the RV lots over there.

 

[cyIclSoneU]

Regarding the bridge, I have it on fairly good authority the idea is more of offering a grand entrance to Iowa State driving under the bridge rather than offering a place for pedestrians to walk to Jack Trice 6 times a year.

The SEZ expansion was similarly pitched as a front door to the university for cosmetic reasons. This was a major priority of Leath at the time.

 

[Trice]

It's primarily, IMO, just something to be pissed about it and get stuck. He's one of those guys who thinks Jamie does "just an OK job". However, he would say that it is stupid to separate the RV lots from tent row because no one is now going to walk back and forth between them (like he does). So it cramps his style.

I wonder how relevant tent row will even be once this entertainment district comes to fruition.

 

[CloneJD]

I don’t see any way Fickell or Freeman both turn down Notre Dame. They are ahead of Campbell in this.

They are only from the fan’s perspective. Matt could go into his interview with swarbrick and leap frog both of them.

 

[stewart092284]

The bridge is just your entrance to the rest of an unbelievable plan to renovate this side of Iowa State. If you haven’t seen the entertainment district portion Jamie’s trying to implement, Google it.

There will likely be new parking for RVs as early as next year.

Next step would be filling in the old donor/RV lots with some sweet entertainment buildings.

Its going to be awesome, and people who are against it are against modernizing anything, yell at children who step on their lawn, and have zero happiness

Agree, I have seen the public mock-ups of the entertainment (Power & Lights?) I think district and it looks incredible. Obviously with budget restrictions and everything else I'm not sure about the how - when - etc and everything else but that would certainly transform the current space. Nostalgia me would miss the wide open spaces of tail gating with grandpa but adapatble me would certianly love the district and everything else

Craziest thread of the day-Matt Campbell

I’ve been researching the candidates, while I’m not a fan of any of the 5 or so names I’m starting to like Matt Campbell more and more. He’s done at two different stops, I think Cincinnati is a better job than Iowa State. I know a lot of people are not going to like the 7-5 record this year. But...

[cyclone87]

Yes, it will also enhance the entrance driving up University

Yeah, a lot of BS flying around.

He's a former ND player FWIW

I mean.. WOW. not so much at bashing CMC... but are they that delusional to think they even have a shot at Dabo?

In 2021 why wouldn't they have a shot at Dabo? Everything seems possible at this point.

Fickell has an agent. Jimmy Sexton. Notre Dame likely talking to him.

Dabo wants the Bama job when Nick goes
