    I'm a disgusting cyclone.

    I've been a die-hard Cyclone since my 7th-grade science fair at Hilton—talk about destiny. After four glorious years in Ames, I found myself ridiculously attached. You’d think they’d made the sidewalks under the campanile with glue! Yet, life pulls you in unexpected directions, so here I am in...

    Grading Brett Yormark's First Year

    https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2023/07/09/postscripts-grading-brett-yormarks-first-year-as-big-12-commissioner/ I didn't mind Heartland's individual grades, but I'll never know how they didn't give him a better overall grade. Dude gets an A from me for sure.

    Do we make the playoffs next year?

    With all the guys we have returning, it seems its a very real possibility. I'm going to enjoy drinking the kool-aid this offseason!

    Liberty Bowl - WVU

    Tennessee just canceled. Sucks to have a bowl game cancelled. Really Oregon keeps it together.

    Team you most want to lose

    I used to cheer hard against Alabama because I was tired of them winning and Saban isn't likeable. I really want to see the Big10 look like the joke they are. However recent years I've developed a strong dislike for Dabo and his horrible takes. A long time ago I didn't care for ND because even...

    Louisiana on ESPN 7:30 Tonight

    Would like to see them stay ranked. They have a big one tonight. App State has had their number the last few years including beating them 2 times each of the last 2 seasons.

    Bowl Game

    Tired of explaining why its all but assured that we are in the Big 12 Championship. Worst case scenario for bowl game should be Alamo against USC or Washington, right? Best case scenario (realistically) is Cotton bowl against Texas A&M or Florida?

    Which of our prior offensive coordinators would you prefer?

    I stopped before I got to the Barney Cotton years. Tom Manning averages more points per game and yards per game than any coordinator in our recent history. He also averages marginally better than the year Campbell called the plays himself. All this whining about him would make me believe the...

    Manning Broyles Award Nominee

    https://cyclonefanatic.com/2019/11/manning-on-list-of-broyles-award-nominees/ Don't see the link posted in the forums. After the last "in-game" thread, I noticed a lot of Manning hate. Some even comment that they would prefer the CMC called offense of last year. Count me as someone that doesn't...

    SB Nation Fan Pulse Poll

    https://www.crimsonandcreammachine.com/2019/10/28/20936344/oklahoma-football-sb-nation-fanpulse-poll Shared OU page's response because it complains that fans didn't rank K-State even though the AP did. It wasn't the fault of fans, it was the fault of the poll. After seeing the poll for the...

    Purdy ESPN Heisman List #7

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/page/HeismanWatch191022/heisman-watch-joe-burrow-one-beat Missed this from two days ago, ESPN has Purdy at number 7. Would love to see him climb high enough for a new York invite. Yes I'm an optimist!

    Could someone update the uninitiated on injuries?

    Injuries I know of... JaQuan Bailey - Had surgery, possibly out for season? Kene Nwangwu - Nagging issue, who knows? Greg Eisworth - Sat for WVU, but hopefully back for TT? O'Rien Vance - Knocked out of game for WVU, but back for TT? Injuries I'm possibly making up in my head... Deshaunte...

    Who wins the Heisman?

    So many great debates on here today, wondered what the take is on the Hiesman. I figured it was Tua's but with him throwing 2 ints before getting knocked out of the Georgia game, I think it's a lot more interesting. I have Murray, but im biased for big 12.
