    Which Iowa border state would you be most afraid of in a state vs state civil war?

    It has to be South Dakota. They have the most mountains. Borders and rivers did nothing to stop the Russians in Red Dawn. Holding out in the mountains was the winning strategy.

    Momcilovic to lottery pick

    He won't be ready for the NBA until he gets to the point that he demands the ball and doesn't have to be told by coaches and teammates to take shots. He needs to be a prolific shooter/scorer to have a role on an NBA team. He might develop this mindset next year, but I also expect that it might...

    Kelvin Sampson post game

    Can't be a official post-game if he didn't pull out a prepared script and spin his team's wins while ignoring their losses.

    Tang Postgame Comments

    The team that lost 10 of their last 15 games lost by 19 in a must win game. Also conference tournament wins are a separate category and do not change your conference record. Even if they had made a run to the final game, they can only claim 8 conference wins.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    We could go with the ceiling camera, but that might require too much effort. The current plan to distract the opposing team with a combination of the dance team, mop crew, and fan phones has worked so far. If some team is able to block out the distractions and notice the drone camera hovering 15...

    *** Official Oklahoma State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    It might have been 20-30 years ago that an Omaha bound 727 landed by mistake at Council Bluffs. The approach to Omaha did line up with the CB facility, but it was 7 miles away from the planned destination. The plane actually landed OK, but the runway way was too short to get it back in the air...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Moon was very good, but he was signed not drafted. The Vikings history has largely been to acquire QBs through trades or signings rather than drafts.

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    It's been a dismal track record for the entire 60+ years of their history. One franchise level - Tarkenton. One borderline franchise - Culpepper. Three serviceable level for a decent team - Tommy Kramer, Wade Wilson, & Brad Johnson. The rest were at best backup level or below average short-term...

    ***2023 NCAA Volleyball Tournament Thread***

    If it wasn't bad enough that Fran's team had to deal with the Wilson ball in their recent tournament loss, Nu is blaming their dismal performance in the championship on cold air movement on the court coming from the ice surface below. It's amazing that it didn't affect the ball movement on the...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Can't blame the receivers too much with having to put their lives on the line waiting for a Dobbs throw. He has proven to be as bad as it gets at waiting too long, throwing behind the receiver, and telegraphing the target. DBs have a field day lighting up receivers constantly being put in...

    Robert Jones Improvement

    When Rob's transfer to Iowa State was announced, much of the reaction on CF was rather lukewarm. There were questions about why TJ would bring in a guy who didn't put up impressive numbers at Denver and wasn't even a full-time starter there. In one of his early interviews, BRE didn't talk about...

    Old buddy Rhule

    Arik Gilbert, one of Matt Rhule's finest. Former 5 star TE recruit transferred from LSU to Georgia to Nebraska. Rhule said that he brought him to Nebraska because he had the "right people" to work with him given his troubled past. Matt might need some new people for players to work with. Less...

    F*CK IOWA

    You have to avoid creating an inadvertent whistle incident if the review would have shown that there was not an invalid fair catch signal. Let it play out and then review exactly as they did. The real mess would have been if he had advanced the ball say 10 yards down field and then fumbled the...

    F*CK IOWA

    Iowa doesn't have a legitimate complaint on the review. The review is going to include the entire play which clearly shows the invalid fair catch arm waving. That negates any advancement just as it would if the review showed the runner out of bounds or something like a knee contacting the...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Kene sure has a reason to ask "why me?" His entire career at ISU was impacted by the achilles injury. He spent most of his 1st year in the league learning the finer points of being a RB that he missed out on by not getting reps in college. Last year was a new system during which he also missed...

    Given what we're all assuming with Dekkers, who do you want to start at QB?

    It is also vital for the entire team that you start game 1 with the guy who gives you the best chance to win at that point - not what might happen a year down the road. All 85+ guys on the team need to buy into the concept that everyone has to earn their playing time. If the season doesn't play...

    Reclining on an airplane

    Tall people do. They also think that they have the right to sit in front of you at a concert or sporting event and invade your viewing space. Don't get me started on how they believe that they own the space above the rim and have the right to block shots and hog all the rebounds. The world...

    In-Ground Basketball Hoop Install

    My neighbor bought a top of the line hoop a couple years ago. A golfing buddy convinced him to sink the post an extra 6 inches for frost depth reasons. After pouring the concrete, he realized that he had a 9'-6" maximum hoop height. He decided that hiring someone to weld a 6" extension was...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    The team is really struggling with the bottom of the strike zone. Guys swinging at multiple pitches in the dirt on the same at bat.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    There was that one time in the city make-it-take-it league against the 40+ year old guy wearing the red vans.
