    Ross Dellenger report on SEC spring meetings

    I used to have faith that the political system would keep the NCAA, conferences and colleges somewhat in line. I no longer have that faith. Congress can't agree on anything, and it doesn't take that many of them to block and destroy anything of merit getting thru. So, you are left with the...

    Terry Allen

    100% this. Walden gave up after the administration suspended our best WR (Steve Lester) who was eligible by NCAA standards. Walden just didn't retire for another 5 or 6 years... And Bill Synder wanted the job that Walden got. One of the great misses in Iowa State history.

    Wow this is surprising Rip Kirstie Alley

    Ran into Kirstie and her husband at that time, Parker Stevenson in Vegas in the early 90s. And by run into a semi drunk Kirstie shoved me in the back so she could argue with the bouncers about getting into a crowded dance club. Was never mad about it lol. It was Vegas and we were all drunk and...

    2022 Iowa High School Football Playoffs

    If you think only Dowling is doing 'poaching' you need to look around at the other suburban schools too.

    Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?

    100% this. Lots of experience with this. IT folks in India will do EXACTLY what the business requirements say. They won't question it or point out any obvious dumb decision. They will just do it.

    **** the refs

    What they need to do is follow the XFL lead and make the audio available between the on field official and the booth/office. Make it all transparent.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    Once sang a karaoke duet of "Don't let your babies grow up to be hawkeyes" with Walden back in the day. Fun guy and I still think if he had ANY support of the administration he would have won at Iowa State. His mistake was not quitting the job when he had basically quit wanting to do the job.

    Iowa State’s Most Bone-Headed Athletic Change?

    I ran into good ole Hayden one day in Ames and out of shock asked him what the heck he was doing in town. He was trying to convince our administration to hire Synder. I remember at the time being against Synder because I thought Hayden was the genius on that staff. Could not have been more wrong...

    Fixing Bowl Season

    Maybe one way to keep guys from opting out of bowl games would be to offer free insurance. Let them sign up for insurance that pays them something based on NFL assessments of their future pro earning potential. There is enough freaking money being made by these bowls they could insure any...

    Do OU and Texas stay through 2025?

    100% agree. With other 3 P5 conferences “aligned” ESPN faces a future of needing games. Some sort of settlement seems possible. Of course the evil side of me hopes the Big 12 somehow finds a way to screw OU and UT

    Will some guys opt from bowl game?

    A bowl game is an exhibition. I could care less if it is the Fiesta or the Liberty. You have bought hook line and sinker into the ESPN marketing hype. What has changed? It's the money man. If you are Breece Hall would you risk an NFL payday coming in 5 months for the opportunity to hold the...

    Will some guys opt from bowl game?

    Sitting out an in-season game is VERY different then an exhibition game a month later. I fully support whatever decision the players make about their futures. And my guess is that Campbell would too. It looks good for the program overall if guys are getting drafted.

    Cy-Hawk future & "The Alliance"

    Oh I agree. It takes years. Usually it is one school beating down another for many years to fuel one side. Then what it takes to form a rival is the tables turning and the other school stringing together some Ws. Unfortunately Iowa State has been stuck in the first scenario for most of its...

    Cy-Hawk future & "The Alliance"

    One of the things that has always been missing for Iowa State is a true conference rival. There isn't another school that considers us their #1 rival. And there is no other conference school that most Iowa State fans consider a rival. For that reason I would like to see the series against Iowa...
