Small concern about Jack Trice logo usage - UPDATE: Gerry Vaughn
Open letter time! Today I came across this very cool beer can design: I'm a bit uneasy to see Jack's tragic legacy on every single piece of merchandise out there, including the traditional "vice" of alcohol. I think the logo would benefit from some guardrails with a clear, tangible benefit... -
Thoughts on social media sites? UPDATE: Apple, IBM, Disney, etc. stopped advertising on Twitter - Musk suing
Musk has talked about creating an everything app known as X for many years. He claims Twitter is about to rebrand to X.com, which is a domain he has owned forever. I'll be interested in seeing whether anything gets lost in the transition. I can't shake the nagging feeling that some of his... -
Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)
Fix the dated font - look at the A and E in particular - and yeet the bevels. Like what I showed here from one of my old stories: Orr-nado isn't my creation. As my stories said, it was from the mind of @amestoplease - but all I did was try to bring more attention to it. For the record, I've...- Kagavi

Thoughts on social media sites? UPDATE: Apple, IBM, Disney, etc. stopped advertising on Twitter - Musk suing
Decent amount of people I was following have either deleted or stopped tweeting. That's a big change. I've stopped, so I have deprived hundreds of people of my spectacular insights. Big loss for humanity. /s -
Thoughts on social media sites? UPDATE: Apple, IBM, Disney, etc. stopped advertising on Twitter - Musk suing
Some others as mentioned are Discord and Substack notes. Some websites have vibrant comment sections that are quasi-forums. I liked Twitter cuz I could do chronological. WHYYYYYYYYYYYY do people not do that? Why would anyone willingly subscribe to the theory that Facebook, a vampire company... -
Thoughts on social media sites? UPDATE: Apple, IBM, Disney, etc. stopped advertising on Twitter - Musk suing
I pulled the ripcord on Twitter quite a while ago, because of ... uhh ... yeah. I miss it though. Really made me feel informed on daily news - I never understood those who said it stressed them out, etc. Sort by chronological and follow people who aren't morons. Done. There's a lot of hub bub... -
I asked ChatGPT about Jack Trice
I was already aware of ChatGPT's proclivity towards fabulism but I was still impressed with the completely fake players created. I was a bit surprised at how much it struggled with basic biographical details, given that I assume it's scraping wikipedia, etc. Altho to be fair, the Jack Trice... -
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
I posted about this a while ago in an AAU thread that I can't find now, but this is absolutely true. Regressive state policies focused on fleeting gains with nothing to show for it - except for declining rankings and brain drain. When Syracuse left the AAU a while back (ahead of getting kicked...- Kagavi

I asked ChatGPT about Jack Trice
I wanted to keep going but I was told my burner had exceeded a hourly limit. Just to be clear, none of this is remotely accurate. The teammates were invented out of thin air. Jack's actual teammate Johnny Behm, surprisingly, didn't die 20 years earlier. ChatGPT also said Jack Trice's coach in... -
I asked ChatGPT about Jack Trice
It's very late here, but I became curious about the famous University of Iowa State player named Jack Trice, so I asked ChatGPT (the popular AI model) to teach me more. Some very interesting and accurate information here: "Who were Jack Trice's teammates?" Some notable teammates who played... -
I updated the Cy basketball logo - and Rucker Park thoughts
I know this was a joke, but thinking about it ... with the Rucker Park exclusive gear, have Nike make custom Jordans for ISU and update that logo to have Cy wearing those Jordans. One-off. Perfect. Done.- Kagavi

I updated the Cy basketball logo - and Rucker Park thoughts
With the amazing Rucker Park news, I'm bumping this to add new logo thoughts. There are so many gaps like that in college sports that can be exploited by the Big 12. (Expanded Big 12 MBB league with Big East/NYC schools?) Maybe the logo above is a Rucker Park exclusive. Have someone like...- Kagavi

I updated the Cy basketball logo - and Rucker Park thoughts
I saw the vintage basketball Cy logo on the new team gear - it's so easy to modernize, so I threw this together in 15 minutes. DESIGN NOTES: 1.) Cy doesn't need ruffled shorts. Maybe Queen Victoria, but not our avian friend. 2.) Generic block logo changed to current logo shape. 3.) All...- Kagavi

A note on NIL - Jack Trice was paid to come to ISU
Bumping this to note that in Jack Trice's era, it was the relationship that the East Tech players had with their prep coach Sam Willaman that won over the players and brought them to ISU. Johnny and Norton Behm were headed to Notre Dame, who knew how to take care of players, but headed to ISU... -
We Will Collective December Update
On Twitter (RIP) earlier this fall, I ranked Big 12 schools by annual donations followed by average football win % (2017-2021). Biggest positive outlier BY FAR was ISU. Amazing results with little money. But it's not sustainable. We laugh at the outliers like Texas A&M, but from a macro view...- Kagavi

We Will or CGC?
Shared some of this in my thread about Jack Trice getting paid at ISU, but here's a few more things. It's no secret that the ISU athletic department is at the very bottom of P5 donor support and, historically speaking, it's not a new thing either. For instance, ISU tried to expand their stadium... -
A note on NIL - Jack Trice was paid to come to ISU
The University of Chicago was one of the worst offenders during that era, led by their legendary coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, who coached 40 years until 1932. During his career, one national publication made a snide reference to a general U of Chicago "student fund" with a very specific use (take a... -
A note on NIL - Jack Trice was paid to come to ISU
I simply wanted to illustrate how paying players has been baked into CFB from the very beginning and amateurism has always been a sham. From a philosophical standpoint, NIL is simply the next evolution of this. It’s all been there from the beginning. Hundred dollar handshakes. Housing. Cars... -
A note on NIL - Jack Trice was paid to come to ISU
With college football, this is not accurate at all. Not even close. For example, back in the day it was illegal to give football players housing and food as an inducement for playing, but schools often made sure their ENTIRE team, from the star players to the fifth string punter, always had... -
A note on NIL - Jack Trice was paid to come to ISU
With NIL, I wanted to share some history about how the sausage was always made. National outlets have decried paying college players for 100+ years. LATE 1800s: Yale and Harvard alumni tried to outspend each other for players every year and (amazingly enough) kept winning the "national...
