    ISU Gambling Megathread

    Why is it a waste? Because you don't like your fanboy crushes called on their stupidity? Its just as likely that investigation expenditures were in-line with the alleged crimes. Some of you act like the DCI put every agent on this case 24/7. The reason this became so high profile had little to...

    2023-2024 Line Up

    To be fair, sometimes and for various reasons scholarships remain in place.

    Week 1 UNI Depth Chart

    The only thing you can really say about this early-in-the-season series is that ISU typically makes UNI look great. But they aren't.

    Iowa State releases depth chart (2023)

    I get what you're saying, but weight alone does not make an o-line. Even against UNI.

    Blind Side Blindsided

    So he's at fault for assuming that his "loving adoptive parents" were not screwing him to the wall?

    Blind Side Blindsided

    It turns out that, actually, a cloud is just a cloud. No silver linings except on the big screen. I never saw the movie as didn't like the concocted "white savior" angle. Threat from the blind side was actually the Tuohy's legal team.

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    And you're minimizing. Per the front page article on this very site: "A couple" = multiple "short period of time" = dating back to 2021

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    It doesn't change my opinion of those exemplary alumni. Nor indeed does it shape my attitude toward each individual on the current team. It does impact my opinion of the program as a whole.

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    Campbell hard sells his program's total culture, not just its on field results. That's his own, self-set standard. It makes no sense to just assign him the good parts but imagine he has no responsibility for the bad. FWIW, I think (hope) Clone lawman has it right in his post above.

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    For all of you who dumbed my post, which of Campbell's mantras does this affair fall under? "Trust the process?" "Five star culture?" Player-driven leadership?" "Become the best version of yourself?" All these beloved Campbellisms ring pretty hollow now. Except maybe "winning in the margins."

    This is beyond stupid. Makes Campbell look incompetent or hypocritical. Cannot decide which one, but they are both losers.

    Do you think non profitable college athletic programs should give out scholarships?

    The founding purpose of the U.S. university system was altruistic, not capitalistic. The university's role is (or was) to stimulate all facets of human growth and achievement: mind, body, spirit. Athletics was part of that mission. Just as academic departments aren't determined based solely on...

    Sinead Oconnor has passed

    She made a bold, peaceful protest statement when the powers that be were whitewashing rampant abuses.

    Hype Train Reminder and '23 Projections

    I'm betting on a scale that ranges from same-old, same-old to incremental improvement. My optimism is that I don't foresee further cratering. If there hadn't been staff changes I'd have bet on that.

    How bad is Allegiant?

    Point taken. I don't fly frequently enough to know this, and Allegiant has worked every time I've flown it. I do know that my elderly and exceedingly frugal parents will only fly Allegiant to visit us. But then, dad would probably ride in the cargo hold of a biplane if it'd save him $50.

    Given what we're all assuming with Dekkers, who do you want to start at QB?

    Don't give us this "today's youth" bile. Student athletes are working harder than ever and college sports is so much more professionalized now than in whatever glory days you're remembering. The transformation of collegee athletics into sports-business isn't the work of these kids. It was...

    How bad is Allegiant?

    Realististically, economy flying on any airline is crowded, underserved, and uncomfortable. Might as well save the money with Allegiant. The only measurable difference, IMO, is that Allegiant doesn't offer a headrest entertainment system. So download some movies on your phone or pad.

    Given what we're all assuming with Dekkers, who do you want to start at QB?

    Perhaps because its risky to start a young promising player on an underdeveloped (bad) team. I don't think all experience is necessarily good experience.

    Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

    Separate accounts. My spouse and I agree on (or fully discuss) just about everything when it comes to big decisions. But we differ on some small stuff--for example spouse likes to make many small purchases of what I call binge items. Its her right to do so, but if we had joint accounts I could...
