    SURVEY: Would you be interested in this CF sponsored trip to Ireland?

    Fanatics ... this is a huge undertaking but we have some opportunities for a direct flight between Des Moines and Dublin. Would be a shorter trip for those with work, kids and school. Please fill this out honestly. We do not want to jump into something that we cannot fulfill. Please feel free to...

    Aer Lingus Classic items. Tickets, planning, etc.

    I had a call on this today. Will be putting out a survey to gauge interest here in the next few days. Thinking we would do a red eye on the 19th and return the Sunday after the game for people who need to work / get kids to school on Monday.

    Aer Lingus Classic items. Tickets, planning, etc.

    Just a heads up here. We are working on a direct flight out of Des Moines to Dublin via CF. Still working on details. I know its late but figure a lot of people could switch flights this far out.

    Williams & Blum Pod: ISU raises prices, bowl win, foul play in the CFP?

    This was my entire point. I swear to god I wasn't referencing gambling at all. I still don't blame Matt of the players. He's trying to win the game and they are looking out for their future. The rules let Matt do this and he believes it provides and advantage. Why I think there has to be...

    Williams & Blum Pod: ISU raises prices, bowl win, foul play in the CFP?

    What we do is tough. All fans are different. The more casual fans just want game previews and breakdowns. The type of fans we started all of this on CF for are the diehards who want it all. The games matter a lot. But this is a big picture show and without the other stuff, the games won't matter...

    Williams & Blum Pod: ISU raises prices, bowl win, foul play in the CFP?

    Regarding alcohol: People at ISU tell me it would likely bring in less than a million after insurance, all that crap that's over my head. So feel free to form whatever opinion you have on that. My take on the opt-outs, etc. It's a systematic thing. Not a specific critique of ISU. The leaders...

    Local Media Coverage of Bowl Game

    Likely no. Unless they have a source texting them from the field, which seems rare. That's the advantage to being there. Honestly, my goal for CF is to be on the road MORE in the future. When everybody else is cutting, I'd like to invest more into our product.

    Local Media Coverage of Bowl Game

    Thought I would add some perspective here. I'd venture that 95 percent of the time our local reporters WANT to cover these things. They want to do their jobs well for the audience, but conglomerates almost always get in the way. Our market isn't big enough anymore to make much of a dent in the...

    CF PREGAME: No. 11 Iowa State’s homecoming matchup with Texas Tech

    you might be right. The regression of Simmons is one of the great mysteries of the Campbell era to me. I think the play calling is much more conducive to an average line now. So you might have a point about that group being clearly better. Up for discussion for sure.

    CW Pod with Anthony Becht
