    Randy Heimerman

    And another bump. Randy is reffing the Murray State-Drake game currently. My wife and I both reffed for him in the early 2000s and were happy to see him still officiating tonight. Had the privilege of being one of his "ice b*tches" that ran intramural hockey and broomball because he didn't...

    WWE SummerSlam (2020) Thread

    Really showed both McAfee's showmanship and natural athleticism in that. Helped they paired him with someone like Cole but he definitely held his own and executed his spots perfectly.

    Manning fired yet?

    Generally agree. I don't necessarily think our lack of success opening a game stems from play calling so much as focus, which still comes back to how the staff prepares the players. Campbell will evaluate everything top to bottom this season - as he does every year - and I would not be shocked...

    Manning fired yet?

    Agree with most of your statements in this thread, but disagree with the bolded. Campbell and Manning will forget more football theory than most of us will ever learn, and they countered ND significantly with our last possession of the first half (clock management in the red zone...

    2017 ISU Defense Article in the Athletic

    It's fun to see articles like this line up real well with advanced stats. ISU was 21st nationally in adjusted points per possession allowed at 1.73 (cfbanalytics.com) and did that by facing the 17th toughest set of offenses in the nation. That big play piece they had in there was also great to...

    Quick hit on Lanning/Cowboys

    Came here to say this. With Tyron Smith's injury history you can assume there's shuffling that will happen all season on the line. Campos is probably a practice squad guy to start, but wouldn't be shocked to see him signed midseason to the active roster. As for Lanning, he has Future Special...

    Is Iowa State Ascending (nice article)

    I love, love, love Ian Boyd's work and it's nice to see him focus it on us. Had no idea Heacock had been under Tressel in the past.

    enCYCLONEpedia: Time to believe

    EL OH EL. A) I enjoy athletics very much B) There are definitely aspects in sports that are hard to quantify, but there's a reason advanced analysis has taken off in nearly every major sport that exists. The eye is easily tricked, and one would argue it's tricked even easier for most fans...

    enCYCLONEpedia: Time to believe

    By most of our metrics, this is true. 7th nationally in AdjD, five spots ahead of Texas, and thus 1st in the Big 12. This is with facing the 5th toughest set of offenses this season (heavily impacted by previous matchups vs OSU and WVU). They're allowing opponents to gain only 31.4% of...

    enCYCLONEpedia: Time to believe

    Empirically speaking, our algorithm assigns .15 points per possession for teams with "Good" or "Great" heart and .58931 points per possession for teams who exhibit "Outstanding" chemistry. But don't ask me, it's not like I do this for a living.

    Monday CF Link Report

    I wouldn't say we have a problem with it at all, Chris. The formatting was a bit startling (right down to "Around the Country"). This is almost a verbatim copy of our headings/layout, which to your point, we don't have cornered because we aren't the first to ever do it. Plus, there's a graceful...
