    Hidden Yards from Kickin' It

    added points to the yards / hidden yards chart. iowa's scoring follows the hidden yard advantage pretty closely (blue line & yellow dotted line)....

    Hidden Yards from Kickin' It

    I went back to look at the Hidden Yards discussed by Jeff and Grant on today's pod. Interesting when you factor in the hidden yards by possession. They took a 151 yard advantage in the first 4 drives then pretty close the rest of the way (they were plus 30 in the final 11 drives). I did not...

    ISU Bowl Projection

    Fun to see 4 teams in the projection... probably more for clicks than anything. I do have an issue with all the negative talk from B12 fans/media down playing the potential for the B12 to get 2 teams. I understand it's an up hill climb for the conference. But so far it is going about as well...

    First AP Poll Released for 2024 season

    Looking back at last year's Preseason and Final AP Polls: - Eight teams ranked in the final poll were unranked in the preseason poll - Highest preseason ranked team to fall out of the rankings #6 USC (8-5) - Highest ranked team in final poll that was not rated Preseason #8 Mizzou (11-2) - Three...

    Lazard getting positive press with strong start to training camp

    I think Rodgers confidence in him and Rodgers presnap reads and passing ability were keys that you can’t ignore. Jordy Nelson is not a perfect example because he was aging as well… but AR and Nelson had a unique connection, and when Nelson left his production dropped significantly. Lazard was...

    Non-Con games against other P4 conferences

    Here is the graphic I posted a couple weeks ago in the B12 Conf thread: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/big-12-non-conference-schedules.285862/

    Non-Con games against other P4 conferences

    I think this one could be interesting... UCF has been wanting this game for a long time, finally got it on the schedule and it's expected to be a bit of a down year in florida (we will see). I believe florida scheduled a 2 for 1 over the next 10 yrs with UCF. So this is 1 of two home games...

    Big 12 Considering $1B in Private Equity

    I think the basketball piece is key. BY has been leaning into international exposure and basketball from day 1. I could see a scenario where he sets up a game between Arizona and Kansas in Europe. Both teams spend a week there, play exhibition games against pro teams there, maybe match them up...

    Big 12 Considering $1B in Private Equity

    yes.... agree there is a "too good to be true" feel to this. I wonder if the "access to the B12 name" means that this initial sale of the conf naming rights to All State for $50M / yr would basically be an interest payment to CVC... so, the conf gets none of the $50M naming deal, CVC gets those...

    Big 12 Considering $1B in Private Equity

    I don't disagree... and this seems too good to be true. That said, there is no question that BY is trying to drive additional value by increasing international exposure. I don't know if this will work. Could end up failing miserably. But if you are able to increase exposure and viewership of...

    Big 12 Considering $1B in Private Equity

    Here are some interesting details *IF* true. This guy has a decent track record (not perfect): From @ MHver3 (on X): 1) Not a traditional PE deal, not a loan, but obviously, not a gift either. 2) CVC Would get: a. unlimited access to the B12 name (?), accept where current contracts...

    Big 12 in talks with organizations to sell naming rights, ownership stake, according to reports

    I need to understand the “20%” ownership in the conference and how the private equity owners would be compensated. This does not make sense to me if you have to pay them 20% of your rev forever in exchange for $1B now unless the conference has plans to use the $1B to invest in opportunities for...

    Big 12 Non-Conference Schedules

    Some discussion on the B12 Non-Conf Football schedules on Williams and Blum this week. Below are the schedules by school and games vs. the P4 highlighted. Note that there are 2 "non-conf" games between Big 12 schools since these were on the schedule from when the schools were members of...

    Offense Returning Production

    I think the OL will be key this season... if we can improve up front, we can have a really special season imho. maybe it's the play calling? not really sure... my only point was, I don't blame the backs. Last season, ISU was 54th in yds per attempt (out of 69 "power" teams). When you break...

    ISU #1 Returning Production In Nation

    I agree that this is promising... I looked this up a few years ago when they initially started talking about the 12 team playoff. I think the issue will be the years where you only see OU or OU/tex. I understand that 1 team will make it and that there are new B12 teams that will help offset...

    Offense Returning Production

    Took me a while to get back to this... I posted the Defensive breakdown here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/defense-returning-production.285534/ Next, I took a look at the Offense. Wide Receiver: Like most of the team, the majority of the production is returning here and we also...

    I will get to the offense soon… traveling right now. Hope I can put it together next weekend.

    Defense Returning Production

    I thought it would be interesting to see the playing time / production ISU has coming back next year - took a deep dive on the Defense first. Overall, they lost two starters on Defense (TJ Tampa, Gerry Vaughn). They really did not lose much (even in the two deep) other than those two. Corner...

    RECRUITING: Iowa State earns commitment from Army WR transfer

    My GUESS is 2 years... 2020: First year he only played 2 games and it was 2020 (so free COVID year) 2021/2022: Used two years of eligibility (over 4 games each year) 2023: Appears to have only played in 4 games meaning he may have asked to red shirt in order to transfer. (Note that he led Army...
