    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Can you buy an Iowa State Purdy jersey? Living in the Bay Area the 49ers purdy jerseys are now a dime dozen. But give me the cardinal or black ISU jersey please. Emailed official isu store And they claimed they had not received any other requests for it. Can we make this happen please?

    Pollard announces plan for 25,000 fans at season opener

    I don't know if this has been addressed, but the south end zone indoor area, suites and club sections should most definitely not be open to the public. I've read enough about this to know if I was able to go, I'd also do my best to stay out of the bathrooms. Feces has extremely high COVID...

    Pollard announces plan for 25,000 fans at season opener

    The little evidence we have says the virus is extremely unlikely to be very transmissible outdoors. If people wear masks, the odds of getting this in the stadium are likely to be damn near zero. That is what the science we have tells us right now. but i think everything covid is pure...

    Forbes Article - U of Iowa in deep financial trouble

    Including our own! Our annual debt service is $10m a year, so almost as high as Iowa's.

    Will the BIG10 Reverse Their Decision?

    Does nobody remember January, Feburary when this thing first came on the scene? The lockdowns were temporary to "flatten the curve" to make sure we had enough medicines, ventilators and PPE equipment. But it was made clear, unless an effective vaccine came to market--we would never get rid of...

    Big Ten Meltdowns

    You're right in that its the president's/chancellors making the call, but its his job to get everybody on the same page. No way this goes down like this under Jim Delany. But you can certainly imagine Dan Beebe having similar results, can't you?

    Ball state added to Schedule

    Honestly, I used to be a big Clay Travis fan--but the guy is acting the complete fool. He knows his fledgling business is SOL without sports this fall/winter and he's completely desperate. Its actually embarrassing seeing him flail about, grasping onto any positive "news" from any source as...

    Ball state added to Schedule

    If by pitching you mean he's on the DL, yes. Also, highly relevant: https://theweek.com/speedreads/927908/even-mild-coronavirus-cases-cause-lasting-cardiovascular-damage-study-shows

    Ball state added to Schedule

    I see we are still in the delusional phase of things. Considering a 27 year MLB player came down with COVID and now is suffering from myocarditis (inflammation of the heart)--its simply shocking to me CFB is even trying to delude themselves that they have any knowledge or basis to make this...

    Jamie Pollard letter on falls sports

    still don't see why that can't be worked out on an individual basis. pretty sure all of the P5 conferences would agree to the same policies for that.

    Jamie Pollard letter on falls sports

    https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2020/06/16/fact-sheet-explaining-operation-warp-speed.html The US government has spent billions to be "first in line" with a number of vaccines and are paying the manufacturers to produce them now, so if they are found safe and effective they can begin...

    Jamie Pollard letter on falls sports

    As much as I love ISU and respect what Pollard has done. Starting off with a cursory nod to student athlete's health, and then spending the remaining 90% talking about business issues(from a non-profit that specifically claims to be amateur athletics), doesn't really do much for me. There are...

    Tennessee coach is unhinged

    Amazing how badly the pussification of America’s has taken hold. My middle school coach did worse to me.

    Press Box

    I don't know why people can't get this through their head. People want to expand the pressbox merely because their preconceived notions of what a press box should look like in stadiums that are not like Jack Trice. That being said, I think I do recall a reporter saying years ago ISU's press...

    Matt Campbell gets PAID.

    OK. so that means the terms stayed the same but the amounts change to reflect his new salary? Or the amounts stay tied to his old salary? I believe the way it was written he just owed the balance of his contract. I always thought $9.5m was untouchable but the top 5 schools in the country, but...

    Texas Game Attendance

    LOL at Iowa fans trolling here, trying to make themselves feel better for having 5k fans dress as empty seats in their shrinking stadium for a primetime Saturday matchup against a Top 5 team, by somehow trying to equate Iowa State not selling out a Thursday night game against a 1-2 team.

    Is the the worst late hit you've ever seen?

    Those tweets don't prove anything. Fairly sure he thought there was a chance the ball was live and he dropped the hammer, better safe than sorry. Should be suspended but not a big deal. The worst look hits are rarely the ones that actually hurt the worst anyways.
