    Let’s talk Jackrabbits

    I watched them play this weekend. They move the ball very well on offense. I actually thought they could be a dangerous round one opponent. So shocking - Iowa State gets them. As long as our defense plays normal - we should shut them down.

    Should Florida State skip the Orange Bowl?

    Feel bad for the kids - but it is a good life lesson. No matter what you do - some outside force can derail your dreams and goals. I know the first reaction is to say F it and not play, but this could be a memory that they will regret some day.

    Kids - School Grades

    Every parent and child situation is going to be different. I have told my daughter I expect A's - she is smart and school is not the difficult if she puts the effort in. If she wants to screw around with her friends or be online - better come home with perfect grades. If the grades fall -...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Cy-Hawk lumps & the rest of the season

    ISU had a freshman QB going up against Phil Parker - he made one big mistake that was the difference in the game. Both teams have top 5 defenses in the country - someone was going to lose - ISU with freshman signal caller versus having a Senior with lots of big game experience. Everytime...

    Dwayne Pierce commits, third top 100 prospect in the 2024 class

    Watched a good chunk of the game - TJ should go after his teammate #13. The 6'9" Asian kid - he would rip down a rebound and take it the length of the court and finish. Then he spotted up for a 3 a few times. The kid has a great looking shot - good ball handler at that size.

    How many nights a week do you drink?

    Perfectly fine - now if it is 5 + a night - you may want to take a break. This world is tough and sometimes you just need to unwind.

    If we go 0-9…..

    ISU fans forget very quickly. Was not too long ago ISU was losing by 40+ points / game. Not competitive. They have lost 3 games that could have gone either way. They are rebuilding a roster and having some growing pains. They have lots of good young kids to build off of. Is it...

    Who wins CyHawk FBall Game on Saturday?

    I keep betting on Iowa until Campbell can beat him. If ISU wins - i'll be happy to lose money. If they lose at least DraftKings will pay for the weekend.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    If the BIG12 remains legit - 3rd best conference by adding some PAC10 teams......I would buy a subscription to ensure i get to watch ISU. If I have to pay to watch them if B!G and SEC form their own super league - i would probably pass as college football would be ruined. Having 30-40 team...

    Shared Hotel Rooms for Work

    If your company is this cheap - I would look for somewhere else. You should have privacy on the road while you talk to family or whatever you do in your room.

    i wanted to go, after looking at plane tickets - the trip was going to cost more than when i took my daughter to disney back in February.

    Jared’s hot take on the FART

    Control the clock - get as many 2 deeps in as possible. Avoid injuries before week 2. Week 2 is 1000x's more important than style points in week 1.

    UNI @ Iowa State (-34.5)

    2 years ago the ISU / UNI game showed up on gameday, maybe the day before. I remember having UNI 1st Half and then live betting it at Halftime. That was probably William Hill - didn't get DK until last fall.

    IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

    This is all going to take months if not years to figure out. B1G TV deal is coming up soon, as the PAC. That will probably drive the next set of moves. The Big12 may need to stay intact for another season.

    Pac-12 to decide whether to expand within a couple weeks

    This morning on ESPNU radio - Danny Kannel had an interesting twist to the Alliance. PAC, B1G and ACC Alliance gets them 3 votes on the 12 team playoffs. They will vote that 3 teams from each conference make the playoffs (so the SEC cannot dominate it), then make the bidding for the playoffs...
