    I bought Mobile Pass back when tickets first went on sale, was that March? This looks like they just became available. ???Weird.

    RECRUITING: Jett Thomalla (4-star QB 2026 commit) flips to Alabama

    He'll have tough competition, for sure. You know what, though, at ISU he has to beat out Moberly and Manske. They are both really good, too. It's not going to be easy at any top 25 program, which both schools are now.

    RECRUITING STORIES: Ajibola Afuye & Brysen Wessell

    Well by now we all know how CMC intends to handle building his team every year. I think for ISU this is the right choice and perhaps for now our only real choice. Recruit the best high school talent you can get with guys you can develop into the best versions of themselves. Once the season is...

    Question on Jack Trice Bleachers pre Sukup

    That was when I first bought season tickets, the year they put in those permanent bleachers. I think a season ticket there was something like $150 and of course no donation required. They had porta-potties under the seats. Otherwise, you had to hike all the way up on the east or west sides to...

    OT Owen Winder Commits!

    Looks like 5 offensive linemen are done after this coming season, (Maro, Barrett, Bonifas, Miller and Neal) so we need these recruits. Good get with Winder and Eglitis. Also I expect there will be a lot of playing time for several linemen this year to figure out who can be counted on for 2026...

    ESPN 2025 preseason poll.

    ESPN and others would have no reason to rank us highly. I wonder though if we don't have a bunch of players and especially coaches who are quietly looking around and thinking, "Holy crap, I'm starting to wonder if maybe we don't have a really, really good bunch of guys here. This team just might...

    RECRUITING: Jett Thomalla (4-star QB 2026 commit) flips to Alabama

    No surprise Purdy would actually notice details and make an intelligent, informed decision. I'm sure a lot of guys are like, "Oh, wow, I got an offer from Bama!!! Where do I sign???"

    Brayden Thomas Commits

    Here's another example why a June signing period would be a bad idea. These kids haven't even started their Senior high school year. Too many who would sign in June are going to change their minds and ask out of their "commitment" anyway. December is plenty early to be signing. By December, both...

    Ross Dellenger report on SEC spring meetings

    Memphis is an interesting case. They have more money to buy a team than probably several P4 teams. Problem is, how many really good players want to waste their talent against Rice, Tulsa, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, etc. Money can't solve everything.

    Power Conference schools being forced to sign a contract or risk membership

    "Super League" is a misnomer. If it's the top teams right now, there would be about 3 to 5 teams from the Big 12. Instead it will include teams like Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa just because they happened to be in the same conference as Ohio State and Michigan, rather than because they are better...

    2025-26 Schedule

    So weird to think Iowa will have nothing but new players next year. I guess that won't be the only team like that, but just hard to imagine having an entire roster turnover.

    2026 Football Targets

    Th Thanks. I found an update from June, the June Signing Period got shot down. High school coaches are concerned that if a kid signs in June, he may want to skip his senior season to avoid injury. I can see that happening. So it seems that December 17 - 19 will be the signing period for 2026...

    That's right, but I can't find anywhere that tells when commits will sign.

    Way Too Early Football Poll - Ranked 11

    I'm reading online about the same old top dogs trying to find room and playing time for all their highly ranked million dollar recruits. When it comes to recruiting, Iowa State is never in these articles. Not even close. Yet, we just won 11 games, beat one of those top dogs in a bowl game and...

    2026 Football Targets

    Regarding the 2026 class, it's my understanding that the NLI is no more. Now there is just a financial aid agreement. So is there a signing period? When can our '26 commits actually make it official?

    2025 FB Parking Selection

    We gave up Sukup tickets last year, but decided to try Mobile Pass this year. Question I have is about public parking. When do those go on sale?

    When will you be able to retire?

    I retired 8 years ago at 62 on my birthday. I now see I should have done more Roth saving. It is such a better deal IMO. I am 3 years away from RMDs and I have already started taking voluntary distributions trying to reduce my RMDs. Taxes on untaxed 401k or IRA are substantial. Plus, you get a...

    The Costco Thread

    That's the thing at Costco, you just stumble onto great bargains. Things you didn't plan to buy. We have a large Christmas wreath, with large ornaments, holds together solidly 100%, so pretty, and would be $50 anywhere else. For reasons unknown, $10 at Costco!
