    *** Official South Dakota State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Well stated. Let me guess, you’re an English major at EIU.

    This is one and done. They can’t wait too long. Flashbacks of Hampton.

    *** Official South Dakota State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    It seems about normal. The first time I watch all year and they **** the bed. How do you not lock them down after they pull within 10? No sense of urgency at all!

    You get one restaurant that’s closed in Ames to come back…

    There used to be one downtown, too. On the same side of Main as the drug store.

    The Green Pepper on Friday night The Grove Cafe on Saturday morning of Cyclone football game days The Fjord on Saturday night (technically in Huxley) Spudnut on Sunday morning (but Mr Donut was also good) Boyd’s Dairy any time Working at Pizza Pit as a delivery driver was fun

    University of Iowa has the worst football fans AND Coaches?

    Couldn’t disagree more. Sorry. I’ve never seen that kind of behavior from any other fan base. Obviously, there are some good Iowa fans, but the core of the base is rotten. The first game when the series was renewed, my whole family (6 of us) went to the game in Iowa City. Half of us wore ISU...

    How did this happen?

    Serious question: How did this fan site become so co-opted by politics? I don’t visit this site every day, but it is a surprisingly small percentage about Cyclone sports. A very surprising percentage of material is just political or unrelated to Cyclone sports. What happened and is this what...

    Texas NIL $50k per year for every scholarship lineman

    The result is what it has always been. If fans want a winning team, the fans must pay for it. Maybe the arms race has gone up a notch, but that’s the game. Cyclones just need to pony up like every other fan base.

    ISU and PAC12 Attendance and merger idea

    Interesting idea. What packaging of teams makes the most sense for the media? 2 conferences (bid packages) of 20 teams each? Or 4 packages of 16? In the end, ESPN is still bidding for a conference. Do they, Fox, and others want more packages? The other extreme would be bidding for streaming of...

    What Should the Remaining Big 12 Schools Do?

    It would be a huge embarrassment for many of the conference’s football programs.

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    Probably what they said about Bill Snyder, too.

    Kansas to Big 10?

    Yes, the average EIU fan is going to take every shot they can. That’s who they are. In fact, it’s an attitude I see with a lot of Big Ten fans.No question the average ISU fan is above that. Most people I meet around the country are really not into college sports at all. But, if I mention ISU...

    Big 12 vs. Pac 12

    Agree, for the most part. I think the merger is probably the most likely option. The Big XII schools do provide good value to the PAC 12 and the merger results in a conference that is greater than its separate pieces. Maybe it’s overly optimistic, but I just don’t think the consumer wants a...

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    It makes sense from a win-loss perspective. It gives Nebraska a definite chance for win 1 every year. Plus, they don’t have to travel far for a possible road win.

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    The Big Ten making a run at the top programs in the PAC makes a little sense, but they don’t need Washington, Cal, or maybe even Oregon. Plus, they’ve whiffed on some of their past pickups. IMHO they’d really only get excited about USC or UCLA. Maybe they’d take up to four if it has to be a...

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    I don’t think it’s a 32 team league. 64 teams makes too much sense and helps preserve the feel of college sports. The question, to me, is how many conferences does the media want to bid on? Is it 4 conferences of 16? That would seem logical. 4 conferences of 16 means: SEC is now there ACC...

    Just checked. They are all AAU.

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    Are all of the rumored “4 to 6” AAU schools? When was the last time the Big 10 made a “good” move to improve the quality or prestige of its athletic power?! That’s a conference with a totally different philosophy. SEC is about collecting the most trophies and Big 10 is about collecting the most...

    Big 12 Send Cease and Desist to ESPN

    If I were an attorney, this would be the stuff I’d live for! If there’s anything to Bowlsby’s assertions, it could be the chance of a lifetime for the person that argues it.
