***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***
Hoiberg's coached the Huskers longer than he coached here. When does he become a Husker who grew up in Ames? Not that there's anything wrong with cheering him. But people gotta recognize, ya know? Personally, I'll always cheer for the meteor when Iowa plays Nebraska- agrabes

Fred blaming refs for lack of offense
You must remember a different team than me. In his time as coach here, Hoiberg's teams always struggled majorly against strong/physical defense and teams that intentionally slowed the pace to limit offensive possessions. Everyone at the time said exactly what he is saying in this interview -...- agrabes

Matt Campbell future return to Ames
I'm not going to change your mind, and that's fine. I want to be clear though: I didn't want Hoiberg back as coach after he was fired from the Bulls. He's got no obligation to come back here after he leaves. To me, thinking he should do that is even weirder than being a big fan of him today... -
Matt Campbell future return to Ames
Maybe I should have said retired at the end of an NBA career, or in general coached anywhere but a hated ISU rival. I didn't mean specifically that he should never have worked in basketball again after being fired by the Bulls. Hoiberg marketed himself as a favored son of ISU who bleeds... -
Matt Campbell future return to Ames
I don't think so. Had he retired from the Bulls, I think he would, not after going to Nebraska. Maybe depends on the makeup of the crowd in Hilton, because there is a weird cult of Hoiberg out there among people who were around in his playing days. The students would 100% not cheer him. He... -
Rocco joining the Transfer Portal
For sure - on the plus side I felt like today(last night)'s Williams & Blum captured it well. Focus on who is at ISU now and excited to see how things go next year. If nothing else, we'll get to see something new! -
Rocco joining the Transfer Portal
I feel for the guy and what he is going through on a personal level, but ultimately I have never met him and likely never will. I wish the best for CW as well, but ultimately the reason I come to this site and listen to the CF content is because I want to hear about ISU athletics and college... -
Rocco joining the Transfer Portal
I think all of that is true - CW is a real person and probably spent a lot of time talking to these people and developed relationships, etc. But even still, if nothing else he should stop airing these things on air to his listeners. Even a decade later, he still talks about Hoiberg as a... -
I no longer think the league sucks
Agreed, a lot of chicken littles when it comes to these topics. 8-4 has 0 chance of a playoff bid. 9-3 in the B1G also has 0 chance. 9-3 in the SEC has a chance if their losses are only to ranked teams and they have at least one quality win. 10-2 is pretty much automatic for SEC and B1G. The...- agrabes

Traffic Flow
The problem is that doesn't address the problem. For example - the S 16th Right Turn onto Duff. There are 2 northbound lanes heading up to Duff, but only one is allowed to turn right. So, let's say everyone does utilize both lanes all the way up to Duff - everyone still has to merge in the... -
Traffic Flow
They did what everyone here said they should do and forced everyone to go to Duff. I left mid 4th quarter and had a good spot in the lot, so I was able to get out in a reasonable time (still 20-30 mins from lot exit to getting on Hwy 30). From your response, I'm guessing it got way worse over... -
Traffic Flow
I agree in theory, but there's a reason they have changed this in practice. Have you parked in G2/G3? A few years ago, they forced all traffic from these lots to go right toward Duff. During that set up, the four lots east of G2/G3 were fully empty before a single car moved in G2/G3. It was... -
NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes
Because if we don't, then we're not talking about the topic of this thread. I don't know if it's likely or not if a bill gets passed and I'm skeptical too, though a bit less than you. But if there is no law passed, it's obvious the clearinghouse will not work and nothing will change as it will...- agrabes

NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes
I agree with your premise that paying above market value is not illegal, but disagree with your conclusion. First, we should assume that some type of law is passed that means an enforceable cap can be implemented. If that doesn't happen, sure it all goes back to you can't collude to limit...- agrabes

NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes
There's a lot of talk in this thread and (IMO) a lot of bad logic being used, but ultimately this is what's going to be the real issue. If Jim-Bob's Car Dealership in Columbus, Ohio wants to give the OSU quarterback $100M for appearing in a local commercial while any other local celebrity could...- agrabes

Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days
I don't really have any interest in discussing your feelings on Pollard. The topic here is how do we get from today to a place where we fully fund the revenue sharing limit? My concern is - where do you find the money? It's already been pointed out that there is not a lot you can cut from the...- agrabes

Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days
Because if you cut all support staff, who else is on the payroll to drive the bus? I'm all for cutting what we can to fully fund the athlete revenue sharing, but I highly doubt it's as simple as cut all except MBB & Football and we'll be there. You can't just say "cut everything!!" - that's...- agrabes

***OFFICIAL CFP Rankings Show Watch Thread***
I'm with you all that the B12 is getting the shaft here (especially ASU dropping after a win), that said the sky is also not falling nearly as much as some of you are saying. The problem we had is exactly what CW said in his Sunday podcast - no one emerged as a clear top dog in the B12 and the... -
***OFFICIAL CFP Rankings Show Watch Thread***
I agree with you - I think SMU/Clemson and Tulane are the three teams getting way too much credit here. I'm not impressed with either and would not worry about meeting either of them if we were actually to face them in the playoffs though I know that we wouldn't. The problem is that we haven't... -
***OFFICIAL CFP Rankings Show Watch Thread***
While waiting for our MBB game I tuned into this show for the first time this season. I don't like seeing Boise or Tulane about the B12, but also if you look one layer below the surface they are actually setting things up for us well if we play well. K-State is now ranked at 25 and if things...
