    2024 FB Season Poster

    Funny to see Utah on both schedules. And it would be quite the shocker in 1975 to have UCF on the conference slate considering they weren't D1 until 1984. And then no Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma in the conference.

    Downtown Royals Stadium

    And depending where they build it, Missouri Chiefs fans likely won't even need to cross the river, just State Line Road.

    TJ best coach we have ever had?

    One way to do it would be by NCAA tournament wins at Iowa State. By my count it's: TJ Otzelberger - 4 Tim Floyd - 4 Fred Hoiberg - 4 Larry Eustachy - 3 Johnny Orr - 3 Steve Prohm - 3 Lou Menze - 1 Wayne Morgan - 1 Obviously not perfect, but is a pretty impressive stat for a guy in his third...

    Offense > Defense

    I think the system TJ has put in place is a great plan to have success. This team doesn't have the offensive superstar but those won't be there consistently in the NIL world. Yet still 3 pts away from an elite 8. If I had one complaint, I wish we did more to steal a few points with set plays...

    You're the Commissioner. Now Fix Wrestling!

    I'm just a casual fan but I'd make big changes to the NCAA championships. Since that seems to be all most care about, I'd stretch it out through the second half of the season and expand it. One three day event is just too short and condensed for fans to actively follow, especially during the...

    Net Rankings vs. SOR

    I think they do have access. But I was suggesting just get rid of the committee as SOR has an extremely high correlation with who gets in the tournament and how they are seeded. Just using it would have little effect on the field and allow fans to track in real time. The other idea I have is...

    Net Rankings vs. SOR

    I wish the tournament committee would just officially make it strength of record or wins above bubble or similar. Something that creates a global standings where each win moves you up (and no margins of victory effect except in the underlying rankings of opponents). I think it'd be more fun to...

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    Nah, I predicted it. We all knew TJ would be competing for Big 12 titles once he got a 5-star, McDonald's AA on the team, right!?

    Bracketology 2024

    It's a mixture of geography and s-curve (true seed). For example, here's last year's top 16 teams with their seed and place on s-curve: South 1) Alabama - 1 2) Arizona - 7 3) Baylor - 9 4) Virginia - 16 East 1) Purdue - 4 2) Marquette - 8 3) Kansas St - 11 4) Tennessee - 14 Midwest 1)...

    Interview with George Conditt

    Except the being a Mountaineer part. But he is a good promoter of Cyclone football.

    Illinois MBB Star Suspended

    He was definitely in Lawrence at the football game that night with several other basketball players but would be curious what level of detail they could get.

    POLL: "Lower level bowls", which should the new Big XII avoid?

    You've got LAX vs. SAN, that's one of my least favorite airports to one of my favorites. Better beaches in SD in my opinion. I haven't been to the area around SoFi since it opened but Gaslamp/Petco for Padres games is one of the best baseball experiences in all of MLB. I can't imagine how...

    David Harris to Tulane

    You're talking about a school with less than 9,000 undergrads vs schools with over 50,000 students. A better comparison is SMU. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Currently, I think you'd say Tulane is a cut above SMU academically. The rich donors buying SMU's way into the ACC...

    Caleb Grill has entered the portal and committed to Mizzou

    Listening again, I may have misinterpreted coach's quotes of "I didn't want to pick up a tech" and "Caleb gave us a spark by getting ejected." At first I thought he was implying that he didn't want a tech on himself personally so wanted Caleb to get one. But now I see he may have meant that...
