    Osgood-Schlatter disease

    I had it really bad starting in 6th grade and into early high school in both knees. I eventually grew out of it around the end of my sophomore year. It was bad enough that if I was playing in a tournament I might have been able to play the first game, sit out with rest and ice the second game...

    Husker Hatred

    They do have a lot on big donors and money behind the program, but almost all the advantages that fueled those 90’s teams are gone. They had the perfect timing, support within the state, and lack of competition to fuel those teams. Those advantages have disappeared including the following...

    The Fuskers appear to have gotten their franchise QB

    The problem is that fan base thinks they can, and more importantly, deserve the 90’s level of success. Which no matter how good their NIL is won’t be possible. They had the perfect storm to pull that off and most of the advantages they used have disappeared.

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    I think this is the bigger issue. Yes, FSU got robbed this year. But it is the constant mental gymnastics the committee engages in every year that clearly comes from their preference and bias towards the Big 10 and SEC. The “criteria” is either shifted or a new term is entered into the...

    ***2023 College Football Playoff Rankings***

    They have an uncanny ability to draw very friendly bowl matchups that allow the illusion to continue….unfortunately they all can’t be like Stanford in 2016.

    Line coach

    I thought Bruns didn’t hold back last year as things were getting worse and frustration was growing. What he said after yesterday is valid, why pull in 2 extra TE if they can’t actually block. All that’s doing is compressing things making it more difficult t run. Could he have been more upset...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs Ohio Game(Day) Thread ***

    Just pray there is a come to Jesus discussion like the defense had a few years ago before Heacock switched over……Having said that I’m not expecting anything to change. At this point it’s watching the the definition of insanity saying with what the offense tries to do every game.

    Campbell's Unwillingness to Use the QB Run Game

    There were yards left on the field that Rocco could have picked up and could have made the difference. A big frustration for me with this offense is if we’re running read plays the QB better at least try to keep the defense honest by running it himself occasionally.

    Hoiberg to Transfer to Iowa State???

    I think he used his experience here to take a look in the mirror and made changes to his coaching and philosophy. Which I give him credit for doing. I thought he was a great hire at the time but obviously didn’t work. Both parties came out positively from the split which usually can’t be said.

    Ryan Clanton to be new offensive line coach

    It felt like someone on Chizik’s staff had a decent eye for o-line talent. Got KO, who was a 2 star, and had James Carpenter signed before he had to go to Juco. He ended up at Alabama and the NFL. There were a couple others that we offered early and they blew up with higher offers. They left...

    Scheelhasse oc

    I’m still excited to see where the offense goes this year. I didn’t expect any big changes in the philosophy or scheme, which I think is fine. Hopefully we just see upgraded o-line play along with more creativity and awareness with the play calling. Those two things I believe could make a huge...

    We own a general contracting and remodeling company. So I will be getting the bill but it is a business trip.

    Hotel recommendations in Vegas?

    Yes, I was typing when trying to multi-task. I edited my post. I figured the hard to get/super in demand places will be booked out. My wife and I are more traditional and would probably stay away from the more trendy/foodie spots. We would be looking for nice meals and understand everything is...

    Best vacuum? Dyson? Miele?

    I briefly looked at the back pack models before purchasing the Oreck. If the Oreck dies here I will probably be doing a back pack model next. I appreciate the help, thank you!
