    T.J. Tampa projected as first round pick going into NFL Combine

    Only plus of him falling this far. It’s a position of need and I’ll have the jersey in the mail tomorrow if they draft him.

    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    Bingo. ISU/KSU has never been interrupted. Of all the series in college football that have never been interrupted, ISU/KSU is the oldest.

    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    KU/KSU was interrupted in 1910. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower_Showdown Clemson/SC was interrupted in 1902 for 7 years, and also during COVID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemson%E2%80%93South_Carolina_rivalry Bedlam is interrupted for the foreseeable future

    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    They are, but both series have been interrupted. That's what makes Farmageddon the longest consecutively played series in the country. There have been series that date back farther. There are series that have been played more times in a row. All of those series have taken a year off at least...

    And we just drafted a defensive lineman.

    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    Farmageddon is now the longest consecutively played series in college football. Happened during COVID. There are longer streaks, but those series had been previously interrupted.

    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    Yup. Just lean into it. It's who we are. It's who they are. That shared thing is a big part of what makes this a compelling rivalry.

    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    There are WAY more than 165 ISU fans at any given game in Manhattan. I've been twice and not once have purchased tickets through ISU's allocation. I suspect that Jamie and the KSU AD are both annoyed with the tag "Farmageddon" and don't want to embrace the ag school/hick vibes. Jamie would...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Really, I'm ok with the RB room as is. Get a G and CB that can play this year and I'll be thrilled.

    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    2027 is the year we aren't scheduled to KSU. That will be the 110th anniversary of the initial meeting in this consecutively played series. Would you be willing to sacrifice the CyHawk game that year to play Farmageddon as a non-conference game and keep the streak alive? For me it's a...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    The Vikings are really solid at pretty much every other position (interior OL notwithstanding). Getting a QB1 and the top edge rusher in the draft are absolutely the highest impact moves they could make.

    Missing NW Iowa Men

    They wanted people to know he got murdered. They didn’t want to get caught. It makes perfect sense if those are your goals.

    Missing NW Iowa Men

    My guess is he was executed, the body was stored somewhere else while the search was going on, and then he was dumped there later.

    What music are you listening to right now?

    It f*ckin’ rips. Mike McCready playing some of the best solos of his career

    What music are you listening to right now?

    Pearl Jam’s new album is the best thing they’ve done since Yield.

    Des Moines-New Taprooms

    Right. It’s going to be a neighborhood brew pub, basically. Those kinds of places still work

    Des Moines-New Taprooms

    And it’s just a taproom, not a production brewery.

    Ed Podolak stepping aside

    I agree. I love hearing the absolute disgust in Heft’s voice when a call goes against us.

    Ed Podolak stepping aside

    Dolph sucks at describing the action, especially when it goes wrong for Iowa. Walters is hands down better at that. Heft absolutely hates the officials. We can’t really criticize the Iowa guys on that front.

    Ed Podolak stepping aside

    This is exactly how I see Ed and Dolph. I like Heft and Walters better, but those guys were dyed in the wool homers and it made for an entertaining product
