    Basketball telecasts

    B12 is the best conference. 8 teams in the top 25. Why can’t Yormark get better TV coverage? Mediacom has 34 games today. 2 are B12. I am old school, but I gotta think there are still more traditional viewers than streamers. Most of the 34 games are crappy teams. Again, I am not going to...

    The Emperor’s New Clothes

    I remember this story as a kid. He thought he was setting a new trend. He had no idea of what he was doing. His staff were afraid to contradict him. He was too egotistical to ask for advice. His subjects were too flabbergasted to say anything. So he maintained his delusion and changed nothing.

    Pulling the plug on cable

    I just bought a firestick. I really don’t want to pay a +$120 monthly cable bill to support B1G network, SEC, ND, etc. I think the networks are what is causing the continuous realignments and revenue/talent inequality. I would even consider reverting back to radio broadcasts like in the 80-90s...

    tackling technique

    I was taught a long time ago to bend the knees , put the helmet on the numbers, grasp with both arms and lift and drive. No one does that anymore. Now it’s hit them with a shoulder and try to knock them over, or dive at their legs, or even hit them while facing backwards. Is this to avoid...

    Time to circle the wagons

    Let's face reality, the rich will only get richer. No team outside of the SEC besides OSU and Clemson will probably ever win another national championship. ACC, BIG8, PAC12 and all other FBS teams need to form a new football organization - the Amateur College Football Alliance. No teams...

    ISU - coaches graveyard 2.0

    I believe it was JIm Walden that coined the term "coaches graveyard" at Ames . However, I think ISU has a good history of ex-coaches who moved forward and became champions: Pop Warner (4 NC), Johnny Majors (1 NC), Pete Carroll (2 NC, 1 Super Bowl), Jimmy Johnson (2 NC, 2 Super Bowls), Mack...

    Manning is the Man

    We were decent last week, outstanding this week. I don’t think I’ve seen a dropped pass this year. The running game still needs to get better. I think we will be ranked in the next few weeks if we can maintain our improvements and avoid injuries.
