    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    A few musings… + If attendance at home game was a primary factor in team success…schools like TCU would never ever get to a championship game. + Yeah, I guess Dallas and the surrounding area sucks…probably why Dallas has a population of almost 1.5 million and the metro area has a population of...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    LOL. SMU and the city of Dallas both agree that SMU is Dallas’ team…at least at the collegiate level. SMU has alternate uniforms with “Dallas” and the Dallas city logo…all in concert with the city. I wonder if you would’ve imagined that TCU would play for a national championship in CFB in...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    This is SMU making a dig to their hated rival…TCU. And reiterating that the Metroplex is the Dallas Metroplex not the Fort Worth Metroplex. Dallas >>> FW. SMU is Dallas’ team. Really not too different from when Georges pronounced that it was a “Cyclone state”.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    You should put “David B. Miller SMU” into the search engine of your choice if you want to see the reality. He is the primary person funding this for SMU. He has been very generous to other initiatives at SMU…including academics. Estimates are his net worth exceeds Jerry Jones’ net worth...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Some interesting comments on SMU. I have a connection and some familiarity with the school. Pre-death penalty (which was a travesty IMO) they were “The U” before Miami. I believe they are ready, willing, and able to do what is necessary to be competitive in the new NIL world. Being in a top...

    Need 2 for 12/12/2019

    I am in search of 2 tickets to the MBB game vs. Iowa. I would like to be in the lower bowl (what used to be called the Arena Circle and Parquet) somewhere on the sidelines. I looked out on StubHub and Vivid and only saw tickets available in the balcony at this point. I am willing to pay...

    How did SMU only get a 6 seed?

    As they say...never let the facts get in the way of a good story... Actually, SMU has beaten two tourney teams (Texas Southern and Wyoming). They also beat Temple which should have made the tourney. Lastly, early in the season they lost at Gonzaga and at Indiana and to Arkansas in Moody...

    How did SMU only get a 6 seed?

    In addition to seeing every ISU game this year save for the beat-down of the hawks (listened on tunein internet radio), I have also seen every SMU game this year. I was very disappointed to see them so close to us because I wanted to see both teams make a deep run and I know SMU will be a...

    ISU - Best Road Record in Big 12 Conference Play

    ISU ties for the best road record in Big 12 Conference play. Think about that.

    CFTV: Hoiberg presser after Texas scare

    Spot on. As an FYI UConn was (and still is) in the American Athletic Conference. Last year they finished tied for 3rd in the conference at 12-6. Louisville and Cincinnati tied for first in the conference at 15-3. Do you think Louisville and Cincinnati would trade places with UConn?

    edozie..

    The thought process here by most of you baffles me. Hoiberg has been our coach for long enough that you should realize that his strategy is to bring players to Ames that have diverse and multiple skill sets and then utilize them to create mismatches that favor us against our opponents. In...

    This is a Final Four team

    Last night at BU and our previous game at WVU tells me that this team has everything you need to make a run to the Final Four. We are talented and deep. We have an unflappable and focused coach. We do not have to have any certain player "on" his game to compete with high caliber opponents on...

    Emerald Coast Classic in 2015

    The "emerald" refers to the beautiful ocean...not the foliage. The beaches are fantastic...some of the best in the world. It could be colder than most want at the beach but if you are coming from Iowa it will be significantly warmer. The Destin area is fantastic. I encourage you to take...

    Facebook IPO

    Another big question...will Zuckerburg (sp?) be on time to ring the bell so the exchange can open on time?

    Facebook IPO

    I tend to be in agreement with you...and I am in the financial services business as well. One other thing, the early adopters to FB were basically kids...people that didn't understand the impact of putting all aspects of their personal life out for all to see. They are now starting to...

    Facebook IPO

    85% from ads and 15% from gaming partners. They believe that they can really target ads because people put their preferences on their system by "liking" things. They also believe that "friends" are more likely to be disposed to buying things their friends "like". I put like and friends in...

    College Football HOF...Troy Davis?

    I believe he will ultimately be inducted into the CFB HOF...however, it seems that it takes a while for guys to be inducted for some reason...not sure why that is...maybe the rules. At any rate...look at a guy like Marcus Allen...played in the late 70s but did not go in until the 2000s. Jerry...

    Meet the Kentucky Wildcats

    A few thoughts on UK from someone who saw them play all 3 games in the SEC Tourney last weekend: + They are long, athletic, and talented at all positions. + The unibrow is a very good shot blocker. + Calipari is a solid coach that knows how to coach a pro team (which is what he has in...

    Tulane to the Big 12?

    Tulane? Are you serious? If that happens, all I can say is WTF! There are much better choices out there. Tulane is certainly a decent academic institution but they have given serious consideration to moving down a level or two in sports over the past few years. Frankly, they are struggling...

    Will any reporter have the guts to ask Rhoads...

    Frankly, these sort of "actions'...what most people reference as "swagger" are epidemic in nearly all sports today...especially college FB. This is certainly not something that is just happening on a few fields every Saturday (including where ISU is playing). The better commissioners (Goodell...
