    Bowl Game Ticket Info

    So, planning to attend my first bowl game this year with my two boys (7 & 9). I looked at tickets on the ISU website, and I would like to buy them from ISU since it will look good if we sell our allotment... but also trying to get a good price. I don't think this will be a sell out (could be...

    College Coaching Salaries a Bubble?

    EDIT: Corrected the % of Revenue to NFL Players. The money right now for college football coaches is crazy... Probably unsustainable. I think it is the result of: 1) Huge increase in media value of live sports* *Side note on Sports Media potential Bubble: You can make the case that the...

    Four Undefeated teams in NIT Tip Off

    Trying to stay positive...

    A few things: 1) Obviously, like most (every?) ISU football fan... 2021 has been disappointing. 2) We still have a shot at 8 wins which would send this group of seniors out tied (with last year's seniors) for the most wins over any 4 yr period in ISU history with 32 wins. 3) Keeping the...

    ISU the "54th" most talented team...

    ISU is the "54th most talented team" based on 247sports... Oregon is now #9. "No. 54 Iowa State: The Cyclones rank behind programs like Illinois, UCF and Oregon State in these rankings. Yet Iowa State came a possession away from the 2020 Big 12 title and won a Fiesta Bowl. Nobody is doing more...

    What if AD's value regional rivalires this time around...

    Obviously, like most ISU fans I have been thinking a lot about conf realignment... Many changes to conference structure over the years have not really created better match-ups... examples: No tamu vs. tex (or tt, bay) No Mizz vs. Kan/KSU/ISU/Neb No OU vs. Neb No WVU vs. Pitt/VT/Miami No MD vs...

    School Profiles: For Future Power League with 32, 40, or 48 teams

    I pulled some data together to get an idea of how ISU stacks up with other schools in a potential Power League. ISU has a pretty good profile. However, obviously, a lot of politics need to play out before this thing shakes out. I think we will likely need to get to at least 48 to get into a...

    Big 12 (and ISU) Cashing Checks in a 12 team playoff...

    So, now the real reason for a 12 team playoff... $2B per year (3x current payout). Best part? In the current setup, the B12 gets about $3M more per team than the 14 team conferences... ($10M vs. $7M per school). In the new format the payout could be $32M per school. B12 payed out $34M this...

    Conference Record

    Kansas State is our only conference opponent that we have a winning record against in the all time series. However, we are catching up on some others... With wins over Baylor and WVU this year we would move both of those all time series to 0.500. If we beat TTU 3 straight we can even up that...

    Howard Brown up 20+ lbs?

    Coach Rasheed says Howard Brown is up to around 330 lbs of good weight... how much will he play this year? Even if he doesn't start, could he be playing half (or more) of the snaps by the end of the year? I know he is raw at DL but if he played QB gotta think he can learn DL... anyway really...

    2020 Seniors

    I am excited for this year to kickoff... but I can't help thinking of the possibility of the 2021 team with the rule allowing for an additional year of eligibility... Had to take a look ahead... Always thought if Purdy stayed through his senior year, it could be special ... if these guys come...
