    Worst Movies Ever

    Probably way before the time of 99% of you on here, but here's my nominee. Just watch the trailer. Should be enough to blow all these others out of the water. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052104/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_q_queen%2520of%2520outer%2520space

    Anybody going to UO game in Athens, OH

    Glad to know it wasn’t just me. Thank you.

    Anybody going to UO game in Athens, OH

    I have degrees from both these fine institutions so will be there for sure. I crawled all over the Cyclones.com web site looking for tickets in the ISU section, to no avail. (Probably never looked in the right place.) Had to get them through the OU athletics web site., so will be surrounded...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Isn’t that where Otis Sistrunk played? :D

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I have never understood this observation. I lived in Oregon for 12 years, California for 10, Arizona for 2, and I've driven every major interstate in every Pac-12 state. Truck stops at every rural interchange, just like in the Midwest. The Pac-12 is every bit the truck stop conference they...

    Williams & Blum: UConn and the Big 12? ISU adds at DT via the portal

    I am not arguing on behalf of Oregon State, although I'd love to see them in the Big 12, but the entire west side of Reser Stadium was closed for renovations last year, half the stadium, so the 26K they drew was a bit misleading. They still only averaged about 35K in past years when the entire...

    Huggins might be in trouble, DUI is good, Bees are bad

    Coach Huggins was the featured speaker at yesterday's Pro Football Hall of Fame luncheon in Canton. Sounds like he was just warming up for the radio show. A friend who attended the luncheon said Huggins left when his talk ended at 1, so he may have done the radio show from his car...

    possible 4 new teams.

    Having lived in Oregon for 12 years, I have a soft spot in my heart for OSU. They are a perfect cultural fit for the Big 12. Football is trending up. Basketball is trending down but made the Elite 8 two years ago. They get terrible TV ratings though. Washington State is also a great...

    Former Cyclones at other schools 2022-23 season

    I couldn't agree more with this. Since I moved to Ohio a year ago, I have seen half a dozen Walsh University games in person. Walsh is a small private university in North Canton that plays in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, NCAA Division II. Every GMAC team I've watched has had a 6'6"...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Your point is absolutely valid. Hawaii wouldn’t be a good fit at all for the Big 12. I am just a bit surprised UH isn’t getting more consideration for Pac expansion. Hawaii already schedules a couple of Pac teams most years, both at home and on the road, although none this year.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I am a little (just a little) surprised that Hawaii isn't being considered in some expansion scenarios, especially by the Pac-12. Add another time zone, Research 1 university, fabulous road trips, fertile recruiting territory in terms of quality of players if not quantity, the late night...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Somebody else on this board might have already brought this up, and if that's the case I apologize, but the money to pay for these big TV contracts won't be coming out of the CEOs' Christmas bonuses. It will be driven by advertising dollars. If you think all the commercial interruptions are...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I throw this out there just as a personal perspective, but I'm sure I'm not alone in this respect. I'm a college sports junkie. I cut the cable cord some time ago and get my TV via Hulu + Live TV for about $70 a month. ESPN+ and Disney+ are part of the package. Hulu in my area also includes...

    Vin Scully Passes Away at 94

    A few years ago, I obtained a DVD of Don Larson's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, remastered from the kinescope film recordings of the original TV broadcast. http://raresportsfilms.com/baseball-world-series/1956-larsens-perfect-game.html Guess who the announcers were. Vin Scully and...

    Updated: Milan Momcilovic commits to ISU

    I felt that pain too. Rice visited at the same time as Lowell Hamilton. IIRC, they were ranked as the #1 and #2 recruits in the country. They came for the Cyclones' preseason scrimmage game that marked the first day of practice, forget what they called it then. Big crowd. Coach Orr got on...

    Lost MLB ballparks

    Haha! I am 77 and have seen a lot of baseball games in my life. Forbes was closed in 1970, so it must have been before then. All I remember was that the Pirates played the Dodgers. Stargell hit one out and Maury Wills stole a base, but I can't recall who won or who pitched, although I would...

    Lost MLB ballparks

    Fun thread! And man, does it bring back memories! New leader with 12: Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego. I saw the first major league game the Padres ever played, April 8, 1969. Still have the ticket stub. Candlestick Park in SF Mile High Stadium in Denver Cleveland Municipal Stadium...
