    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    Achilles injuries are no joke. There are players that don’t ever play again. Most do, but take time to not only rehab, but also get back to the level they were at. 10 months of rehab is normal and it can take a season to get the athleticism back. Williams could certainly out perform the average...

    Takeaways from the spring game

    While I agree that it should be no big deal to comply with whatever security is asking, there was at least one commenter mentioning security being abrasive. Probably gets frustrating for security if they keep getting pushback on their requests. Also, they should avoid being abrasive. Unless you...

    Takeaways from the spring game

    Also doesn't help that Campbell states that he will treat it as a practice. I could see it being a lot bigger if we have a good season and high expectations and then if it is advertised and played up a bit as a fun event by the program.

    Takeaways from the spring game

    Pre-snap motion helps identify the defensive call. So I would hope we still are planning to use motion.

    Jackson Paveletzke commits

    I thought the Iowa S&C program was Rhabdomyolysis and not so subtle racism..? Maybe I remembered that wrong.

    Jackson Paveletzke commits

    He is a shooting guard. From what I have seen, good shooter, which is his best skill. Can drive a little bit. Good length. More of a finesse player right now. Will need to add strength, tighten up his handle a bit, and work on his defense. Has the tools to help once he develops. My guess is that...

    Colin Cowherds Ridiculously Stupid Troll Bait Top 25

    This thread title needs to change or be shut down. The tweet was not by Cowherd and Cowherd responded stating this list was not even close to his top 25. See post 15 and move on.

    TaShawn James Commits

    247 appears to have gotten their track data from this website: https://ok.milesplit.com/teams/5398-carl-albert-high-school The 100 is from the Piedmont HS Invite. The long jump from the Yukon Classic. The spelling is wrong. Shows Tayshawn James. Yes, it could be 2 different people with super...

    TaShawn James Commits

    Not sure I would call someone a "track guy" just because they ran track (if that implies high end speed.) Plenty of athletes run track to try to stay in shape or get faster. Tashawn seems like a good athlete that hits hard and has a nose for the ball. We will see if speed is a big part of his...

    Nebby sued by USA Today

    UNO has really changed their profile in the last couple decades. There has been significant investment from the community and the campus is pretty nice at this point for an urban University. They have a nice arena, some cool buildings and an area worth visiting for the shops and restaurants. It...

    Per ESPN best still available

    The percentages add up to 100, so I think you are misinterpreting this one. Their numbers are stating that they think Breece has a 36.7% chance of being a pro-bowler (and a starter), a 38.1% chance of being a starter (but not a pro-bowler), etc. So you add those 2 together to get the percentage...

    Big time basketball games not televised.

    I have a Roku on every TV. It is very easy to stream things once you are setup. ESPN likely sees the writing on the wall and realizes that attaching themselves solely to cable and satellite companies is becoming a losing strategy. From March 2021: "The share of Americans who say they watch...

    Big time basketball games not televised.

    Seems like a strategy to get people to subscribe to ESPN+. They do it on too many big games and the value of ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/ESPNNews declines.

    Have you ever been embarrassed to wear Cyclone Gear?

    I referenced stuff like that earlier as well. Pretty important for the players on the team and former players to feel proud of what they are part of. Our fans are pretty die hard, but it has to be pretty difficult as a player to be more responsible/connected with the outcome and endure losing...

    Have you ever been embarrassed to wear Cyclone Gear?

    Most fans on a team message board are going to be more passionate than the average fan. I am certain that average fans wear their favorite team's gear a bit less when they are losing, or after a loss. Also, if you watch player intros in the NFL, I have definitely seen players not mention their...

    A couple of guys I’ve heard less about in this recruiting class than others: what’s to know about these guys?

    He played in the 2nd highest class for football in Texas. Can't say much more than that on the competition, but yeah, quite the highlight reel.

    A couple of guys I’ve heard less about in this recruiting class than others: what’s to know about these guys?

    If the Year 4 video on the link below is any indication, Jeremiah Cooper is a pick 6 waiting to happen. Good ball skills, played some offense too. Probably has some room to get bigger, but fluid, rangy athlete that has some pop, it appears. 9 picks in 10 games his senior year is kinda crazy...

    A couple of guys I’ve heard less about in this recruiting class than others: what’s to know about these guys?

    From what I have seen of Essex, he seems like a guy that can do something once it is in his hands. Big physical receiver with good start/stop and power to play through contact. I don't know if he will have the catch radius that Gaines will have, but his physical tools are still impressive...

    A couple of guys I’ve heard less about in this recruiting class than others: what’s to know about these guys?

    Gabe Burkle seems like a bit of a developmental Tight End. I believe some other schools wanted to move him to OL. Not super fast or quick but has some hands. Your big and strong style TE. More of a Soehner type potentially. The kid plays the post on his high school basketball team. Can get up...
