    Heard an interesting proposal - NIL luxury tax

    Similar to MLB's luxury tax. I didn't hear details but the theory sounds interesting.

    Cincinnati sues QB for transferring to Texas Tech

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/48035774/cincinnati-sues-sorsby-1m-exit-fee-texas-tech-transfer Apparently they had a $1 million exit fee in his deal and he didn't pay it. Perhaps we should do something similar. Texas Tech reportedly paying him $4 to $6 million. Somebody in...

    I don't follow the portal goings and comings closely

    Have any of the players who entered the portal changed their mind and if so did we take them back?

    Statistically between 30% and 40% of players who enter the portal don't get a division 1 offer.

    I think we are at 47 who entered the portal. Roughly 15 to 20 of them are likely to not get a division 1 offer. Would you take them back if they wanted to return or let them populate the American Rivers Conference?

    If Campbell takes the Penn State job I wish him well but...

    ...they just fired an accomplished coach. He coaches here for as long as he wants to. This needs to be resolved soon so we can move on to our own coaching search.

    Maybe I'm biased but I think the block I with overlayed STATE

    is one of the great logos in any sport. I don't understand why it isn't on the helmet for every game. Establish a brand.

    Second bye week of the season

    I'm an old man and my memory isn't the best but I don't remember having 2 byes in the same season. I'm curious why the Big XII is doing this. Are there more teams in the conference than TV outlets to televise the games?

    Great win but going for 2 in the first quarter?

    I'm sure we have someone on the roster who can kick an extra point. It seems like sometime our staff is trying to outthink the game.

    Hansen must be one tough hombre

    Taking all the hits he has this season and still playing. Hopefully he can avoid another concussion.

    Speed and vertical are great for a receiver

    Sometimes you just need guys who can catch a football.

    Is the officiating really this bad or do they dislike ISU?

    One of several strange calls was the facemask on the goal line with everybody watching that was neither called a facemask or pass interference. Not uncommon for us to get robbed on the road but this was at home with a sold out stadium.

    How in the world do the officials pick up the interference flag in the end zone?

    That needs to be investigated to see whether the linesman who overruled the call had an "investment" in the outcome.

    What the expanded playoffs have revealed is how questionable previous "national champions" have been

    The 7 and 8 seeds are in the finals. None of the 1-4 seeds won a game and 3 of 4 games were not close. Only Big 12 school Arizona State got close to winning. It brings up the question of what the list of national champions would look like if we had expanded playoffs before instead of a group...

    My theory on why the Big 12 isn't getting respect from the playoff committee

    Playoffs

    We should be in. Big 12 will get multiple schools. I'd love to host a playoff game in Ames vs a SEC school in December. They are great but they always play in ideal conditions. Find out how bad the want it.

    Officiating made two big mistakes

    The hands to face on a DT that overturned an interception - OL had hands in the face of the DT also. Catch reviewed and upheld. Clearly he bobbled the ball and trapped it against his leg after he went out of bounds. They need a larger and better monitor for the official to look at. In a...

    Savor this for a moment

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings Iowa State is ranked higher than Alabama and higher than all but one school that left the Big 12 for greener grass. I'm taking a screen shot of that.

    Question about a comment from the analyst during the telecast

    I didn't hear exactly what he said but it sounded like he said the freshmen were all looking to enter the portal. Could anybody expound on that?

    That was fantastic. Great for the producers and great publicity for ISU.

    4h quarter field goal attempt

    I was watching on a computer screen with sound off. It looked to me on both camera angles that the kick was good. Did anybody else see it that way? Hard to imagine an official could mess up a field goal call but it looked good to me.
