    Northern Lights

    I can't get enough of all of the Northern Lights photos from last night. Show us what you got. Figured it deserved its own thread. For those that missed it, tonight is the peak and should be even better than last night!

    2025 College Football TV Ratings

    A monster weekend for college football. Texas-OSU had a massive 16 million viewers. Slightly surprised but shows the power of Fox, ISU-South Dakota was the third most watched college football game last Saturday with over 3 million viewers. ISU-K-State was only 4 million in Week 0...

    Work rut/burnout

    Any tips or anyone successfully got out of a work rut / burnout phase? I’ve been at the same place for 10 years and generally really like it. I’m historically the annoying “if you like your work, it doesn’t feel like work” guy. But over the past few months, it’s felt like a real chore and I’m...

    Emotional Investment

    We have fans emotionally charged during games. We have podcast hosts battling fans and fans crapping on die hard Iowa State figures. Why does this year seem so different than previous years? The emotion seems elevated because we are good and expected to win? Is this “normal” for Top 15 teams and...

    How satisfied with Maui are you?

    How satisfied with the 3 games in Maui and why? 8 out of 10 for me. A poor 5 minute stretch away from being a 10 out of 10. Offensively, we are already very, very good. Improvement area is to reduce those pesky 3-6 minute scoring droughts. Defensively, okay with a lot of room for...

    ESPN Brock Purdy Article

    Interesting read on Brock. Not behind a paywall. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39300943/brock-purdy-49ers-internal-motivation-prove-nonbelievers-wrong Brock talks about his last 2 years at ISU which echos what many people suspected…he/the staff was overthinking things.

    2023-2024 Non-Con Basketball Schedule

    Didn't see much discussion on this. Outside of the ESPN tournament which is underwhelming compared to our previous few non-con tournaments...woof. We play one true road game, and its DePaul, before Big 12 play. Not worried about the strength of schedule because we will have plenty of...

    NIL Details from The Athletic

    Some very interesting NIL information. I was surprised that NIL wasn’t first for any of these recruits. Bodes well for places like ISU as long as we can stay somewhat competitive which is exactly what people like @brentblum have been saying. (Paywall)...

    Southwest disaster

    Any other frequent travelers following this mess? SW continues to use “weather distractions” as an excuse for canceling 70-80% of their flights over the past two days and telling people they cant get them anywhere for 4-5 days. The videos and info on Twitter are insane.

    SI Desirability Rankings

    This is one of the more comprehensive analyses I’ve seen. Most are lazy “pick the top brands” but this is a good weighted average of many things that matter in college sports. Reviewing these (ISU is #27) it’s hard to argue with them...

    The future of NIL?

    Pretty genius idea. People can donate to a non-profit entity which will arrange and pay for athletes for appearances. An indirect way for fans to pay student athletes. Wonder if ISU could take advantage of something like this.

    Jury Duty

    I’m sitting in the courthouse waiting, waiting, waiting for something to happen after checking in for jury duty this morning. This is my first time ever having to report so no idea what to expect. I’m swamped at work so I’m hoping not to get picked. But also intrigued by the idea of sitting on...

    Highest Rated Bowl Game

    Last night’s Cheez-It Bowl is the highest rated bowl to date. Big numbers for a Wednesday afternoon/early evening. Also, highest rating that that game in 8 years. Yeah we lost but great exposure for ISU football.

    By the numbers - not winning in the margins

    Sobering stats. Basically turnovers and special teams are the reasons why we are 2-2 and not 3-1 or 4-0.

    If you could only eat at one fast food restaurant for the rest of your life, what would it be? Go. For me, Popeyes.

    The Athletic Big 12 2021-22 Rankings

    Really good article if you have a subscription. Very in-depth on every team. https://theathletic.com/2631054/2021/06/07/early-big-12-mens-basketball-rankings-kansas-jayhawks-are-on-top-but-baylor-is-right-behind-them/ Spoiler: They have ISU last but said they could justify them up to 6th...
