    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build next to Soldier Field?

    I agree, but that would require the city to spend money on infrastructure. The city of Chicago just rakes in the cash via tourism, high taxes, red light and speed camera and parking tickets, now weed, now gambling. But it always amazes me going to the airport and travelling on the public...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build next to Soldier Field?

    This would be yet another example of the Bears ownership failures. They just don't get how to run a successful sports organization, outside of just raking in cash from millions of legacy Bears fans. I grew up a Bears fan but gave up on them 15 years ago and have rooted for them to lose every...

    FedEx pledges $25M to Memphis NIL

    That's exactly the way this is, and will, be heading in the coming years.

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024

    I see Hadley is now between Louisville and USC. That was a blessing in disguise. He would not have fit in here.

    J'Vonne Hadley (Curtis Jones' cousin) to have zoom meetings with Iowa State & MSU this week

    So when do college football and basketball completely break away from academics, and eligibility, etc are no longer a thing and it's just a complete semi-pro league? That's probably coming sooner than we think especially with these power conferences forming. Seasons, tourneys, etc will then...

    Cyclones a contender in 2024

    I hope so, but I am expecting another 7-6 season. Anytime Matt has had expectations he hasn't delivered. I hope he changes that narrative this year, but until that happens I will take the under in high expectation seasons.

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Omaha is rated 26th in the current 247 transfer ranking. I thought hmmmm that is interesting. Then I saw that Fish is the current 15th rated transfer, which made me instantly discount the transfer rankings on that site. I mean Fish may very well turn out to be a good player, and I think he...

    Illinois fans

    Exactly. Every Illinois fan that I know says their number one hated team is Iowa....every single one. The reason? Their fans are so arrogant and think they are superior to all of humanity. Sounds familiar.

    Illinois fans

    Living in Illinois it is very strange. You know there are a bunch of alums walking around, but they don't wear a lot of Illini gear and don't seem to have very much pride. They are definitely private fans and not douchers.

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

    Definitely not Illinois. The people of the state have no pride and if someone invaded they would actually be thrilled to leave the area and have the opportunity to live in a better state. They would also assist the invading state with getting revenge on the corrupt government. Sincerely, a...

    2024 ISU MBB State of The Program

    Excellent writeup. I agree completely with every word.

    Never felt better after a tournament loss

    Yeah sweet 16 games have almost always been a complete bed crapping by ISU unfortunately. I vividly remember the last 4 against Uconn, VA, Miami, and now Ill. We completely got blown out early in each and I don't think we ever had a lead in any of those games. At least last night we had a great...

    Hell of a season

    We saw so much progress this year. Remember losing in the first round last year and just begging to have a couple of three point shooters? With Tamin and Curtis we had that this year, Gilbert and King some as well, and of course with Momc for a good part of the season but he definitely had big...

    Charlotte Transfer Dishon Jackson commits to the Cyclones!

    TJ continuing to advance his team into the second weekend is a better recruiting tool than these offseason coaches giving their recruiting pitches. These sweet 16 coaches probably have a lot of guys coming to them.

    ***Official 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread***

    I gotta say those Home Depot Shaq commercials are actually nicely done. And I absolutely hate all commercials.
