    Cessna. It was co-ed and wet. Otherwise it wouldn't be topping my list.

    *** 2025-26 NHL Thread ***

    Calling Plano "20 miles north of Dallas" is one of those things that's technically accurate, but spiritually misses the point. That's not going to hurt their following one bit. From where that arena's going, you have another 20 miles before you're in the country, and those northern 'burbs are...

    To be fair, both communities support their NHL squads extremely well.

    Well yeah, they want to add several ACC schools + Notre Dame. I don't think the breakaway is as big of a deal as controlling every property worth $X.

    You might even be able to throw PSU in there (shockingly) based on that graph of revenue percentage derived from TV payouts.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    What I really actually want is the Top 16-20 schools to separate into a different division and schools 20-80 form their own division with it's own national championship. Then the remaining G5 and FCS merge into one division with it's own champion. Other than that, I prefer some version of...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I legit don't care. The Plains Midwest type of pod ISU would end up in would likely never field a national champion unless OU was part of it, but the national championship has never been the part of college football I cared about. I care about playing schools in the same part of the country...

    The way you would get pooling to happen is by eliminating equal revenue sharing. The big dogs get more money. At the end of the day, what this would mean is that the actual elites would get more than everyone else, regardless of conference. The schools most adversely affected would be the...

    7x10 would be awesome but it's not happening without severe government intervention that's wildly unlikely.

    Iowa is in the same boat as us in that they get no other subsidization from the institution or state. Most P4 schools do, regardless of Big 10/SEC or Big 12/ACC. Penn State is the baffling one.

    Which state is most Midwestern?

    The portion of Minnesota that was originally prairie is extremely Midwestern, IMO and totally different from the North Woods/North Shore part of Minnesota.

    Which state is most Midwestern?

    Everyone I know from Kansas sounds exactly people I know in Southern Iowa. Which is a mildly southern accent, but that's compared to my "dontcha know" right off the set of "Fargo" accent.
