    STORY: Matt Campbell's annual book club pick is IN

    I’m going to go out on a limb and guess Campbell isn’t a big fan of the book you’re discussing. I know nothing about his politics, which is enough to tell me a lot.

    ISU Ranked #21 in Preseason Coaches Poll

    They haven’t proven much

    If ISU could schedule KSU as non-conference, would you want them to?

    I think they care more about beating KU on a personal hatred basis, but view ISU as more important in achieving their goals. Which is kind of how I feel about Iowa and KSU. Losing to Iowa hurts more, but beating KSU is more important.

    KSU fans care about this game a ton. A lot of them think it’s a bigger deal than KSUKU. People who try and down play this game are acting in a far more contrived way than the people celebrating it, IMO.

    You people keep very different circles than I do. I don’t know anyone IRL that doesn’t consider this a rivalry.

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    I hate the SEC. I’d imagine most here do. But over the last 20 years, they’ve won more than anyone else and have had less mediocrity than the Big 10. I can’t speak for others, but I hate putting the Big 10 on the SEC’s level because I’ve seen so many Big 10 schools piddle along in mediocrity...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    ESPN isn’t going to be shilling for 8-4 Iowa over 10-2 BYU. But yeah, of course Sankey thinks he’ll get more. He’s probably right. It’s not the SEC part of this that pisses everyone off. As annoying as their propaganda is, they’ve won a lot. The Big 10 gets put in that tier because large...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    The reason the Big 12 and ACC support 5/11 is they aren’t just going to acquiesce to a conference where 75% of the teams probably wouldn’t win either league telling them they just have to automatically accept codified inferiority. It’s also a way to keep the SEC and Big 10 from being so damn...

    Deion Sanders and his medical team will hold a press conference on Monday

    I think that’s more likely, I just don’t think a positive news presser is a bad look.

    Deion Sanders and his medical team will hold a press conference on Monday

    Why? There's been a ton of speculation, and my guess is the point of this is to give some clarity about what he's doing and why. No matter what the actual news is, I can't see how it's a bad look.

    Friday OT - In Your Wheelhouse

    Herding cats is a verb. Goat rodeo is a noun.

    Friday OT - In Your Wheelhouse

    I actually made it up, and I’m trying to make it a thing. Because as you demonstrated, its meaning is quite obvious to a certain demographic.

    Friday OT - In Your Wheelhouse

    I forgot one of my favorites - “goat rodeo” for any kind of unorganized chaos.
