    ESPN Brock Purdy Article

    Interesting read on Brock. Not behind a paywall. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39300943/brock-purdy-49ers-internal-motivation-prove-nonbelievers-wrong Brock talks about his last 2 years at ISU which echos what many people suspected…he/the staff was overthinking things.

    Free - all I ask is you actually go and, if you can, take someone who has never been to a game. Section 15, Row 7, aisle seats

    2023-2024 Non-Con Basketball Schedule

    Didn't see much discussion on this. Outside of the ESPN tournament which is underwhelming compared to our previous few non-con tournaments...woof. We play one true road game, and its DePaul, before Big 12 play. Not worried about the strength of schedule because we will have plenty of...

    Iowa universities betting scandal

    Lots of smoke on twitter and Iowa message boards that there may be some big news coming about Iowa baseball and football players betting on Iowa women’s basketball games. Potentially the FBI involved.

    NIL Details from The Athletic

    Some very interesting NIL information. I was surprised that NIL wasn’t first for any of these recruits. Bodes well for places like ISU as long as we can stay somewhat competitive which is exactly what people like @brentblum have been saying. (Paywall)...

    Southwest disaster

    Any other frequent travelers following this mess? SW continues to use “weather distractions” as an excuse for canceling 70-80% of their flights over the past two days and telling people they cant get them anywhere for 4-5 days. The videos and info on Twitter are insane.

    SI Desirability Rankings

    This is one of the more comprehensive analyses I’ve seen. Most are lazy “pick the top brands” but this is a good weighted average of many things that matter in college sports. Reviewing these (ISU is #27) it’s hard to argue with them...

    The future of NIL?

    Pretty genius idea. People can donate to a non-profit entity which will arrange and pay for athletes for appearances. An indirect way for fans to pay student athletes. Wonder if ISU could take advantage of something like this.

    Jury Duty

    I’m sitting in the courthouse waiting, waiting, waiting for something to happen after checking in for jury duty this morning. This is my first time ever having to report so no idea what to expect. I’m swamped at work so I’m hoping not to get picked. But also intrigued by the idea of sitting on...

    Highest Rated Bowl Game

    Last night’s Cheez-It Bowl is the highest rated bowl to date. Big numbers for a Wednesday afternoon/early evening. Also, highest rating that that game in 8 years. Yeah we lost but great exposure for ISU football.

    By the numbers - not winning in the margins

    Sobering stats. Basically turnovers and special teams are the reasons why we are 2-2 and not 3-1 or 4-0.

    If you could only eat at one fast food restaurant for the rest of your life, what would it be? Go. For me, Popeyes.

    Are you rooting for Drake in the NCAA Tournament?

    Fiesta Bowl most watched ISU game in history?

    http://bit.ly/2XbO2ar Almost 7 million people watched ISU/Oregon. Not bad for a mid-afternoon kick. Is this the most watched ISU game in history? Big 12 Championship game had about 3 million viewers so I’d guess this has to be the most eyeballs ever on an Iowa State football game, by far.

    NET Rankings
