    ***#8 Iowa State vs #4 Iowa (Sunday, 2:00)***

    Can’t have multiple challenge worthy moments in a rivalry dual and end it without ever using it. Gaitan not cutting Kennedy is inexcusable. Kennedy was done. Feldkamp wasn’t ready for Arnold, Broderson never seems ready for anyone. Coaches won’t be happy with their own performance today...

    Wanted: Parking Lot Pass - Oklahoma State

    I'm looking to purchase a concrete lot parking pass for the game vs Oklahoma State. I'd be interested in a couple if available, I am for sure looking for 1 for my in-laws to keep them in a better spot with the weather, but would consider one for my family as well. PM me in interested in selling.

    Ok, catches it in the middle of the field short of the 1st down, and we don't get him. We aren't right.

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    Give it a listen below, it's pretty fascinating but I listen to LeBatard often so I may be biased. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hour-2-a-new-look-sec/id934820588?i=1000530192227

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    Texas is a national brand, big names carry value nationwide whether they are good or not. He was just saying that while location isn't what it used to be (like it was in 2010 realignment), it's still something and distributor rights is one of those reasons. For an ISU, our value may be in that...

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    I hope for the BIG, I think the conference knows our school and our fans help them in every way but viewership (strong academics, we'll boost their local economies every time we play because we'll travel and sell them out). Unfortunately, it's viewership that drives the money, and money makes...

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    I listened to the Jon Skipper (former ESPN president) interview on The Dan LeBatard Show the other day and he talked about the media side of this and what ESPN did for the 2010 realignment. Skipper mentioned that new markets/states still plays into the decisions because of distributor fees. The...

    Can the Big 12 remain viable

    With the Big 12 trying to stick up for itself now, how many votes are needed within the conference to make decisions? I believe it is 8, which works perfect for sticking it to OU/Tex however possible over the next 4 years. Also, if the remaining 8 are digging in to keep ESPN money coming, does...

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    I love that Bowlsby is doing this, but I hope he's shrewd enough to be thinking alternative broadcast partners...Apple, Amazon, Youtube, somebody; otherwise, the 8 of us are in massive trouble because we won't see ESPN money ever again.

    Big 12 vs. Pac 12

    No, I think you are right that no one wants to make that trip, but more than that, I don't want to be completely left out of major college football. If we have to play games in Pullman to stay relevant, then west we go.

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    Listen to this from former ESPN president John Skipper on the Dan LeBatard Show yesterday regarding realignment. It's obvious ESPN makes this happen, and he spells it out realignment from a media side. Interesting and infuriating for us.

    Can the Big 12 remain viable

    The BIG has Rutgers and Maryland, the Big 12 has West Virginia. USC is being talked about as a next big grab by the BIG. All of this happened because money trumps location.

    Can the Big 12 remain viable

    It doesn't matter about liking it, they joined because that's where the money and opportunity was. Location will not stand in the way of money, power, and playoff opportunity.

    Can the Big 12 remain viable

    Locations matter, but not from a schools proximity to each other standpoint.

    Can the Big 12 remain viable

    Were we fighting to survive 1 week ago? 1 year ago? Nope, we were safe because we had TEX/OU. Now we don't. Our payouts with Tex/Ou are higher than the PAC-12; the PAC-12 knows they have a time zone problem and want to move east, and if you can guarantee USC 1.5 times more money than they are...

    Can the Big 12 remain viable

    I say be aggressive, we know what the floor is (Big 12/MWC/AAC merger-thing), hand out the sweetheart deal to 2 or 4 others. I posted this in another thread: - Let OU/Tex walk - Propose what we offered OU/TEX (1.5 shares immediately), highlight easier path to playoff to (looking for 2 or 4)...

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    What exactly is holding USC to the PAC-12? Location and regional partners, 2 factors that simply don't matter anymore. The Big 12 (with OU/TEX) has a greater payout than the PAC-12, now guarantee USC 1.5 times that, and plus power to be the elite of the conference. The PAC-12 already knows they...
