    Kickin’ It: Mascot Bracket 2025 Edition

    Always a fun pod. I enjoy thinking about the mascots. Too bad for all those dogs. Very interesting competition for our Cyclones in the Final Four.

    Working out the details. Limit to top conferences. The main point is that they have to do something to make the conference tournaments more significant or they will start to fade.

    Here's an idea about how to put more significance into the conference tournaments: Give #1 and #2 seeds only to conference tournament winners.

    I'm just about ready to bail on the first weekend and just hold a neighborhood tailgate in Ames. Then go to the first day of the Regional weekend wherever it is. Hoping for Atlanta because my nephew is getting married on Saturday of that weekend.

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Interesting. I should have known that you would have a link to something like this. As you might expect, these videos raise a few questions. For instance, what criteria is to be used for picking the top 8 (or top 4 teams) or scrubbing one team down a notch? The video refers only to "best"...

    Is it as simple as picked the four #1's and then assigning them according to what makes sense geographically? And then again with the #2's, #3's and #4's? Surely, there are all sorts of caveats. I hear the committee spokesperson make reference to variables, but do they publish the list of...

    Waiting for Jamie Pollard to explain that we fell to the four seed because of our nonconference schedule in November!

    Big 12 Back to Division??

    The best design for divisions falls apart when any changes are made to the conference membership. That is what allowed EIU to avoid Ohio State so much. It is the resetting of the divisions that creates the unfathomable gaps in playing other conference teams.

    Seems like a fitting way for his Iowa career to end.

    Did he really flip him off? I couldn’t tell on the video I saw.

    ESPN+ A Joke in KC

    Wait. What? The Kansas City Marriott is not showing big 12 tournament games? Sounds ridiculous.
