    Ryan’s back!

    The day the men beat OK State in an incredibly intense semifinal at Kemper in the afternoon and then we all poured into Municipal Auditorium that night to see the women roll Texas in the championship was one of the best days of my life. Then we got to go back to Kemper the next day to see the...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Smokin’ hot cheerleaders helped too back in the 70s and 80s. I think that helped the Cowboys brand as much as the football team.

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    This floor for the A&M vs Houston game is just awful. Painful to watch. All the disparate ads and the obnoxious color scheme makes the court look like a minor league baseball fence in Mexico.

    7 states file lawsuit against the NCAA over transfer restrictions

    Even more so in athletic leagues. Unfortunately competitive balance in college athletics has always been skewed because there’s no draft. Now throw in unlimited transfers and payments and it has become chaos. After the North Carolina case the NCAA can’t even enforce academic requirements. When...

    NFL: ***2023 San Francisco 49ers***

    Love The Freak. He might be my favorite baseball player of all time. That wind up and delivery was sick, it made a 5’11 160 pound guy dominant in an era of big power pitchers. We may never see that again.

    RECRUITING: Carson Van Dinter ready for new role behind Iowa State star Beau Freyler

    I’m really excited about this kid and expect him to be a baller. I don’t care what his offer list was. He’s from AJ Klein’s neck of the woods and his offer list wasn’t great either. I’m excited for Surges, Patton and all these big, physical young safeties.

    If your numbers are close to right then I’m even more discouraged about all this than I was before. How can the rank and file programs which make up the bulk of college football compete with a handful of teams that can spend $50-$100 mil per year on player compensation? Why should Purdue...

    I thought right away that the NCAA blew it when they announced that everyone got an extra year tacked on, even 4 years later. It was obvious that it was going to screw younger players. If you were a HS kid in a lot of places you lost a year then you get to college and after you’re RS soph or...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Kurt’s story is quite a bit more remarkable. Only a 1 year starter at UNI, undrafted, bagged groceries, played Arena football, married a crazy chick with multiple kids, then stumbled onto an NFL team around age 28.

    Well, as much as I dislike KState due to our numerous painful losses to them, I am not celebrating if their QB follows Klein to A&M. First, I think we can beat them with this kid. Second, I’d like to see the Big 12 retain its players and be a strong conference. Third, this could easily happen to...

    As juvenile as it sounds, Jerome “Poon” Tang made me laugh for a while.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Great pic. That throw was even more insane than I thought.

    Bowls are cool and all, but…

    Are they doing anything to leverage his name? Does he rep car dealerships in Austin or something like that? Little to none I’m guessing. Mostly, maybe entirely, just a contract to play football there.

    Bowls are cool and all, but…

    Then there’s Arch Manning. I thought I read that his contract is $3 mil and he was 3rd string for Texas. I’m calling it a contract heretofore because it has nothing to do with name, image or likeness. It is simply a pro contract.

    Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)

    So Memphis has a helmet with their area code on it (901). Not a fan. I will be disappointed if the Clones ever run out with 515 on their helmets.

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    West Virginia is a paper tiger. Their Big 12 record is very misleading. They only played 2 of the top 6 teams in the conference and lost big to both - OU and OSU. They skipped Texas, ISU, KState and Kansas. West Virginia was the 7th best team in the Big 12 with a pretty big gap between them and...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    I’m pretty sure Cowherd is full of ****. Google “Tom Brady hat backwards” and you will see him in lots of pressers like this. From what I remember he was pretty good and had a fairly lengthy career.

    Shoutout Rocco Becht

    I don’t get the silly banter in the portal thread regarding Rocco vs Purdy. The truth is they are both studs and had an outstanding freshmen year. If you take away Rocco’s pick 6s against Iowa and KU we might have won both of those games and he would walk on water right now in terms of our...

    I I’m curious if many people get the Dekkers-Schlichter comparison.
