So Cyclone Larry has started a beef between ISU and UCF?

[2speedy1]

Application into Iowa State is very straight forward and the University gives you the formula before hand so you know if you will be accepted before you even apply. I would think that raises the acceptance rate.

I realize there is a formula, so those that can get in apply. Its different than those places that have the essay apps etc.

But at one time if you were in state, even if you didnt meet the requirements on the formula, the state schools still had to accept you on a probationary basis. I dont know if there was a secondary process for this, but I do know at one time it was required by the state. I dont know if it is still required or not.

ISU-KU-KSU-OSU always play (old Big Eight rivals)

BU-TTU-UH-TCU always play (a Texas round robin)

WVU-UCF-UC-BYU always play (the new guys)

Play three against your own foursome. 3/4 out of the other two.

3 + 3 + 3 = 9

It's perfect. CCG between the two with the best record.

I love this for ISU. But it does put the 4 geographic outliers in a group, so the travel part for them is a bear (esp BYU).

Tough doo-doo.

No it's not.

I just don't see a way where you can do pods/divisons and not piss at least one school off.

Protected rivalries for every team gives a bit more flexibility. Out of the 3 conferences expanding, SEC is the only one that has the geography to do pods.

Geographically I wonder if they’ll link byu to closer states.

Geeze Larry!

 

[RustShack]

They will. It will be protected rivals, not divisions or pods. Top two make the conference championship.

Mormons are loaded with cash. They can afford the travel.

Meh. They should be happy the Big 12 let them on the lifeboat.

Larry is many levels above those three.

Agreed, who is the Covid OWI guy? Was there a thread?

Orlando is the crap hole of Florida.

That was never in question

 

[cycloneML]

OSU or KState make sense for us. I don't mind the new teams that joined the conference but they certainly didn't scream rivalry to me.

KState is like your twin that you want to beat the snot out of.

Larry is way more clever than the WRNL guys. Those guys are Travis Justice level fart humor.

I have some news that may be upsetting for you to hear.

I don't know how. Sure, they save money on booze but wives are even more expensive than booze.

There is a time and a place for fart humor. This is not the time and place for fart humor.

Orlando is the crap hole of Florida.

Personally, I think Orlando is the tacky souvenir stand of Florida. The rest of Florida is the crap hole of Florida (although southwestern Florida isn't so bad).

Everywhere is full of crappy people that's for sure.

When you have 30 kids you get some sizable tax refunds.

Taking it that Larry is the wrnl guys?

Levi is a WRNL guy, so I'm going to say yes.
