    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Nebraska and the rest of the B1G are free to not play on Fridays. They can do away with other fan-unfriendly things like November night games or six-day holds, too. All they have to do is take a little bit less money from FOX and NBC. Just a little bit. Probably so little, in fact, that they...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    They completely f***ed over the other schools a few years ago when the OU/UT news broke. All eight Big 12 schools would've killed for a Pac-12 invite. The league could've taken any four it wanted. Then, USC/UCLA could've still left, with Oregon/Washington following, and the Pac-12 would have...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    If I'm UNC and UVA, I'd rather be in the Big Ten than the SEC.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Very possible but like many things, it depends on how many schools leave and what the networks want. I think it's possible (though unlikely) that something like this happens: *B1G adds Virginia, UNC, Notre Dame, Miami *SEC adds Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech, NC State *Big 12 adds Pitt...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Agree with all of that, including that they need to think about hurting the American in their decision process here, which Memphis + Tulane would do. I also think Calford isn't going back right now - but it's possible that something like this happens: *Some combination of...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Report: Tulane, Memphis Eyed by Pac-12 amid Additions of Boise State, More The two most obvious additions IMO. I would probably go get UNLV and UTSA or Texas State (both in San Antonio) to round out at 10 with Tulane and Memphis. Then wait a bit and see. You may have a chance in the near...

    The dreaded #8 seed

    One way the playoff was designed that is a little annoying is that the top 4 conference champs get autobids AND byes. The 5th champ plus 7 at larges play in the first round, and that’s the only round on campus. So if you win the Big 12 to get in, the odds are very high you’ll get a bye and then...

    Gameday Host

    The final wide crowd shot at the two-minute warning looked like spring game levels of attendance. Looked like 95% of you decided to GTFO early.

    do you miss ISU week 1 thursday games?

    I liked Thursday when I was not attending. If I'm going to the game though, I want it to be on Saturday. I'd enjoy a Thursday night road game sometime against an Arizona or Cincinnati type team (i.e. not Iowa or K-State). It'd be fun to have a lot of eyeballs on us and it'd be great to have a...

    YouTube TV Getting Ability to Split Into 4 Screens

    Yeah but I don't have the money to renovate my living room and make space for a second TV without it starting to look like a college apartment with people sitting on the floor.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    Their written release about M&A suggests the same. Calls CW and Hassel the “co-founders” of IE.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    MWF during football season is interesting. M you talk about the games that were just played, F you preview tomorrow’s games. What kind of a content are you serving up on W?

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    I’d guess the same, but I’d also guess (with some confidence) that Two Guys absolutely dwarfs all of their other content in terms of listeners, so maybe it’s related to that or that Hassel has worked with M&A.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    That's kind of my exact question. Are they making the same at IE as they did at KXNO? 80%? Or what? Do they own a piece of IE? Does Hassel? That sort of stuff. You and me are both just guessing. Nothing but idle curiosity from me. And a lot of respect for CW sticking his neck out with this after...

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    I don't expect to ever know (and no one has any obligation to share) but I am so curious what the Iowa Everywhere ownership/compensation structure looks like. Clearly CW has come up with something that is better than the default goliath of KXNO to many people.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Their best available move is to reverse merge with the Mtn West. Take all of those schools into the Pac-12 and retain the branding with 14 teams. Hope it gives them more prestige and cache that way.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    MHver is QAnon for realignment. Always some master plan happening behind the scenes... always plugged in to every development but with a slight plausible deniability or lack of clarity that allows him to back out when it proves wrong - but then there's another new twist that only he can provide...

    Restaurants in Ames.

    Interesting, I have the exact opposite opinions of Casa Maya and Azteca so now I’m not sure what to think of Jefe, ha. Will try it at some point I’m sure.

    Restaurants in Ames.

    My Mexican usual in Ames is La Casa Maya but curious if any Fanatics have reviews of El Jefe right across the street in the old Village Inn.

    Restaurants in Ames.

    There's a fast casual spot called Garbanzo on Duff that's kind of like a Mediterranean Chipotle - but it's not as good as Chipotle or Pancheros or other similar places not in Iowa like Cava or Roti, and I think it's very expensive for what you get.
