    Sam Neill has died at age 78

    Because of the timeless nature of Jurassic Park, this is one of those deaths which douses us with the reality of mortality.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I seriously question public media's reporting these days. Miscalculation on 'travel'? I find that hard to believe. Those expenses were closely tracked by the P12 office when they were part of that, but were reported by the school. Those things aren't runaway type expenses. They knew exactly...

    INSTANT REACTION: Jamie Pollard set to retire within the next year

    One thing we'll be assured of is that people will 'speculate'; most of which will be irrational, foolish, childish, and every other words one can dig up to belittle things that he's done. And, just as foolishly, people will differ; threatening threads of never-ending length. Well, I have just...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    I grew up an insane sports fan. My loyalty never swayed from my home teams. But, now the fun and excitement of college sports has been so materialized it's lost its soul. I'm with Jaimie. Time to retire from fandom.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Nothing lasts forever except his legacy. I'm glad to hear it'll be a transition.

    Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

    I use AI extensively. Not floating my boat, but I think I have the perfect qualifications to maximize AI gain. What I can say, is that I see 'degrading performance' over complex problems. However, I use that degrading performance from one AI provider to maximize my query on another AI...

    Big 12 FB Media Days

    I'm definitely ok with this perception as it doesn't set unrealistic expectations, may lull the opposition, and certainly presents different sets.

    Random ISU FB player you remember

    Chris Boskey: It was such a random thought, that I originally thought of 'Tom' (his brother) who was renowned as a linebacker. No. I knew the person I was looking for was a defensive lineman. So the research enfolded. And Chris rose to the top. Of all the recruits heralded by Earl Bruce...

    Serious Question: How does ISUs football recruiting look so far?

    A lifetime of experience brings a lifetime of perspective. MC's success is primarily predicated on the 'culture' he built. Every soccer team I've played on in my life went from last to first. Certainly, not because of talent, but rather chemistry. Chemistry never came overnight. It took...

    Favorite part of ISU campus

    For a long time I could've answered this with a single choice. But, given how much the world has changed and how much time has passed since the best era of my life, ALL of those now memories hold a special place in my heart.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Debt service is the KEY to many of these discussions. I suspect JP has those within very comfortable margins, whereas, I suspect a good portion of the P2 are over extended, despite their lucrative contracts. Remember, many of them are in more concentrated markets, with substantially higher...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    This is carefully placed 'bait'. Don't bite.

    Grading TJs Recruiting Strategy

    C'mon given NIL, TJ is #1. Guy works with less, but continues to astonish.

    USMNT vs Paraguay Gameday Thread - World Cup 2026

    Played soccer most of my youth (yes, for Iowa State too) and on to Div III/II/I. The play making was good (not great), but the shots were beautiful. Some lapses on defense. Several lapses on the Paraguay side. What I'm seeing more and more are the long space passes; something I'd always...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    The players voted to not play the bowl game. If they voted not to play TT, I can not see a litigious scenario for TT which won't dramatically hurt them. I wonder what the players think of all this. Anyone know?
