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

    Going into the year I'd have said 8 wins was probably our floor. So it's not really that it was ever unrealistic, but its the way it happened. Losing 4 in a row, with a bye in there too, is a long time without much to cheer about. And Colorado isn't good, and ASU was down the week we played them...

    Welcome back, Tornado Cy

    I've never liked the oversize logos. To me it looks cheap and cheesy regardless of the actual quality of the logo design. Like a car with a huge spoiler or tires that stick outside the fenders. Just makes the proportions of everything look out-of-whack and very "try hard."

    The worst thing about being in my 30's is when I realize oh **** I'm actually 45.

    Cooking Turkey

    Its really important to NOT do too big of a bird, whether smoking or frying. If you have to do something over 16ish lbs, just roast it. For frying you have to worry about oil spilling, and for smoking you have to worry about it 1) fitting in your smoker and 2) cooking in a reasonable time...

    Cooking Turkey

    RE: frying safety, the risk is when the oil spills over the pot. That can happen when the pot has too much oil in it, and/or water and ice flash to steam and spill/eject oil. Assuming you have a 5gal pot, you shouldn't use more than about 3gal of oil. That will allow for turkey displacement as...

    Cooking Turkey

    Frying is hands down the best. I smoked a whole turkey once, years ago. Told my wife to get a small bird, like 12ish lbs. She came home with a 20lb monster. Took like 14 hours. The meat was delicious but the skin was rubbery bordering on leathery. I've spatchcocked lots of chickens for oven...

    How do you propose a person does that without tracking their income and expenses?

    50th Anniversary of Edmund Fitzgerald Sinking

    I'm not saying Gordon Lightfoot sunk the Edmond Fitzgerald, just that he seems to know an AWFUL LOT about how it went down...

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    Sounds like the takeaway here is as long as you do bad things in new and unique ways you can get away with it.

    Toxic work environment

    I'd save the docs for the exit interview (if there is one). It's not like they can decline your resignation. You'll just stop showing up for work. You don't have to give any references from that job, and it sounds like when asked in interviews why you left you can just say it wasn't a good fit...

    Starting to think the Big 12 gets at least two teams in the playoff

    If games against them are going to count towards a team's record that will determine playiff seeding, then they should get a shot at the playoff.

    Worst team since 2016

    So should we kick players off the team and put an ad on LinkedIn or Indeed looking for a new college football player? That's how it works for any other paid professional.

    Starting to think the Big 12 gets at least two teams in the playoff

    If the AP rankings mattered, sure. But they don't. I think 2 teams is as likely as 1, but no way do we get 3. The committee will put in a 5th place, 9-3 B1G/$EC over a 3rd place, 10-2 Big 12 team.

    Worst team since 2016

    Jesus, that's awful. It's bad enough to say that to an adult, but terrible to say to a kid. We all need to remember that none of us are as committed to this as the coaches and players are. We might feel like we are, but we aren't. I know we all feel like we are, but we aren't spending hours all...

    Worst team since 2016

    Agreed, but unless we want to be a service academy or Georgia Tech we need to have enough of a passing game to actually have an "offense." And even those teams pass a little bit. There have been flashes of really good play from all positions (and coaching too) throughout this skid. But the bad...

    It hasn't just been today, its been most of October. And it seems like half the good balls he throws get dropped. There are plenty of open plays that aren't getting executed.

    Worst team since 2016

    Was going to type the same but it was feeling like a pretty long post already. The way we're playing now I think 5-7 is more likely than 7-5.

    Worst team since 2016

    We're just consistently below average in every respect this year. Offense, defense and special teams. Coaching and execution. There is nothing/no one doing their jobs well right now. Some of you will be biased against the offense or the defense or certain players or coaches, but there isn't...
