    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Oregon State built a pretty good schedule. 5 true P4 opponents, plus Wazzu twice, plus two strong G5s in Fresno State (soon to be Pac-12) and App State. Guessing they would've liked to trade Sam Houston or Tulsa for someone like Kansas or Purdue, but they should be happy with what they managed...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    One of the biggest "What ifs" is if the Big 12 has stood up to Texas about the LHN in 2010 so much that they decided to take the Pac-10's offer. That would have been the first 16-school superleague, with Texas, A&M, OU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and Colorado all heading west. The Pac-16...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Do you mean men's Olympic sports? I figured women's sports are largely safe due to the number of football scholarships needing to be balanced for Title IX purposes. Agree that men's Olympic sports are on life support the way it's going.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Bud is right and there are otherwise level-headed people who just can't get that through their head. Whether it's breaking away, kicking them out of the B1G/SEC, or imposing by sheer force of will some unequal revenue distribution, there is no chance that Ohio State etc. continue to live in the...

    Big 12 TV/Kick Times - Oct. 19

    Top Big 12 teams are gonna play at night a lot, and almost never at noon. FOX has no other power conference inventory for 3:00 PM or night games. Meanwhile FOX puts the B1G on at noon. ESPN/ABC also has Big 12 rights - but they own the entire SEC and ACC. So the mid-afternoon and night FOX...

    Morgantown Recommendations?

    Came here to say this - gotta hit Tudor’s on Sunday morning. I like the bacon egg cheese hash brown one.

    New music tradition?

    Juicy Wiggle is an organic, original, authentically ISU thing and that alone makes it awesome. It’s fair to say the dance sucks though. Purdue does a very similar dance, idk who stole it from who.

    Big 12 TV/Kick Times - Oct. 19

    feels like a six-day hold week just looking at the schedule. UCF-ISU and KSU-WVU are two games they’ll wanna wait on. Just my hunch

    Williams & Blum today- FB attendance

    I’d love to go back in time and tell someone: Iowa State sold out its 61,500-seat stadium to play Baylor. (Yes, 61,500!) It wasn’t because of season tickets; the rest of the home slate is North Dakota, Arkansas State, UCF, Texas Tech, Cincinnati, and Kansas State. It wasn’t because of the...

    White Cyclone clothing in Cedar Rapids...

    I also think a plain white t shirt or polo would be just as Cyclone-y tomorrow as a typical ISU shirt, given how big the White Out is. Could just get one at Walmart, even as a backup.

    Williams & Blum today- FB attendance

    After all this consternation there is basically no chance we don’t announce 61,500 attendance.

    Williams & Blum today- FB attendance

    BYU sometimes goes over 100% capacity (the K-State game had over 64k), as does West Virginia. The Penn State-WVU season opener had over 62k. But the point still stands that 61,300 or whatever would still be a very well attended game by conference standards, and would easily be in the Top 10 of...

    Williams & Blum today- FB attendance

    Someone probably already did this but here's the complete list of 61,500 attendance days in Iowa State history. The Baylor game will be 61,500 announced attendance by kickoff too. As has been mentioned, we have never sold out the new 61,500 capacity stadium in an even-numbered year - although...

    4-0 Start

    And I think it’s pretty sad Iowa hasn’t won a BCS or NY6 bowl in 15 years. Who’s to say which is sadder.

    4-0 Start

    Sure it is. Worth remembering how much better we have it now!

    4-0 Start

    We started 5-0 in 1980 and ended up 6-5. Worth keeping in mind.

    CFP Expanding to 12 Teams

    I don't actually hate the 4 B1G/SEC slots in a 14-team playoff. The reality is they would get those spots in a large majority of years anyway. The current system makes it very difficult to imagine Ames ever hosting a playoff game. But in a 14-teamer, the Big 12 champion wouldn't get a bye. (I...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Toledo had the best geography of maybe any FBS school and is throwing it away to play San Jose State in football and the Valley in other sports. Almost every game was within a 3 hour drive. Not sure I would call it great, but the fan/student experience is clearly not on the top of anyone's mind...

    ISU/Big 12 MBB Conference Schedule Released

    March 1 at Hilton vs Arizona has got to be a CBS broadcast, doesn't it? Same for Feb. 22 at Houston, but I really only care about getting them back in Ames again.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Just focusing solely on the bottom line so Iowa fans can squawk about how much more money their AD gets than the rest. But it does nothing to make their fan experience any better. How about negotiating the ability for every school to pick the kickoff time slot of its homecoming game (or one...
