We should have a budget graphic like when people are trying to raise money and it shows a rising level after every donation and how far they need to go except after every commit it shows our rising cost and the budget max line.

I feel kind of bad. These LBs going to Penn State are great humans and leaders and will do great things after college, and I think they’re going to be absolutely taken to school their final year.

Then I remember they’re making a ******* bag and sold out and feel less bad
I guess we’ve decided these guys are terrible for some reason. I think they’ll do great at PSU. Good for them. But, I’d much rather discuss our new guys and what they’ll provide this fall.
 
I think what people need to understand is the top 10 guys or so he is taking may or may not be starters or their top players. The difference with the top programs in the big10/sec is they will have 3 hansens while we will have one.
It’s about depth also .

He will have start getting some 4-5 stars to complement

Penn State should be able to get more talented football players than farm kids from Iowa. Those kids won’t win them games in the CFP. That’s the point.

In what way did they "sell out"? Following coaches they (and their families) have built relationships with for 3/4/5+ years...?

It was known on December 5, 2025 that many of our players - including most of our best players - were going to Penn State. Because they were never "our" (Iowa State's) players; they were the staffs. Same is true for the WSU guys.
 
Is "Ya Boy Jimmy Rogers" XTwitter account a real account or a parody account?

I still think this whole fiasco was brewing before even the Colorado game check-out. My Montana and Dakotas friends get so much more social value out of their school's athletics.....this is just a mess. I'm going to go re-watch the brothers Grimsby. Have a good year.
