    Milan's Zoom Call

    Florida paying Thomas Haugh $10 million next season. That is stupid insane. I'm done watching any college game that Iowa State is not playing in.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    Whatever pressure Milan has felt at Iowa State will pale in comparison to what he's going to feel at blue blood Kentucky when they're paying him $6 million.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    Many are speculating it's 2 years for Milan and Audi, assuming the 5 yr eligibility rule gets passed.

    They haven't yet experienced the crazy unrealistic expectations that accompany massive paychecks, so they've hardly "adjudicated it". Like I've said a couple of times already, no matter how awful the pressure of living up to those expectations may be, they may always feel the massive...

    Coping??? Never said Milan, Audi, or Campbell will regret getting jumping ship for the enormous paychecks. Just saying they're gonna find out quickly how nice it was playing for Iowa State fans where the expectations weren't massive and the love was pretty much unconditional. Let's agree to...

    You might be right, but I'm guessing not. Just wait until Audi or Milan has a less than outstanding game, the hate from the Kentucky/Okie State fan websites will be so awful they'll long for all the adulation they received back in Ames. Same is true for Campbell when he loses a game Penn State...

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    Campbell, Milan, and Audi are all getting life changing money, but they all will have to meet what I'd consider unrealistic expectations. Don't blame any of them for getting the $ while they can, but I'm guessing all three will miss the true enjoyment of the game that they had back in Ames.

    Yeah, if only Campbell had taken one of those NFL jobs a few years ago, where our entire roster could not follow him. Our program would be in dramatically better shape right now.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    When we whipped Kentucky in the tournament a few months ago, you could see they quit in the second half. That's the type of culture you typically have when your roster is a bunch of highly paid prima donnas who are happy only when the ball is in their hands. Milan is set for life...

    So Kentucky spends $6 million to get Milan and I'm guessing TJ spends about the same to get Singleton, Bond, Johnson, and Manning (heck, maybe even more than that). I like TJ's strategy better.

    Jerry Moses has passed away

    Every time I see the Moses name, I think of the touchdown that JJ Moses scored on Iowa on the very first play from scrimmage. Steve Looney, our OC, said he decided a week before the game that he was going to call a reverse to JJ on the opening play because he knew Iowa's defense would be so...

    Williams & Blum: Congress vs. College Sports, Momcilovic Gone & Texas Tech Fires Back

    I enjoyed the podcast greatly. I'd much rather hear discussion on the major issues currently effecting us than a bunch of superficial talk about the good ole days. Keep it up Bent and CW!
