Also funny it’s a clip of us beating Texas. It’s towards the end of the video FWIW.

Being realistic doesn't seem like shitting on ISU at all.

One Fiesta Bowl. 9-3 with a loss to Louisiana. That is the top of the resume. Good fans, maybe great. KU had a 12-1 season and they are the worst program out there.

The guy across the office from me can tell me the starting O-line for any Wisconsin Badger team since 2000 and had to ask if Iowa State was in Ames. I don't think that the people who say that some posters on here overvalue ISU are off at all.

A. I don't dispute any of your comments.

B. Making a reasoned case for the possibility of, or potential for, a move to Conference "X" isn't delusion. It is possible...however unlikely.

C. If there's a raft of people here saying we'll sail into the B1G I've not seen them. In fact I've not seen one.

I know they’ve been irrelevant for most of the past two decades, but I think the Baltimore Orioles are still a sports team.

Can anyone explain this in more layman's terms?

"ESPN, stop aiding OU and UT in breaking Big 12 conference by-laws.

Can anyone explain this in more layman's terms?

Could mean discovery during a breach of contract lawsuit might be "interesting".

 

[CrossCyed]

I wonder if this is from the schools of the Big 12? Or the Big 12 as an entity? Interesting from about forty different angles

Sounds like he’s just a Wisconsin fan and not a college football fan.

I hear that argument all the time and you are right, but I think that they make up the majority of fans. I watch every ISU game and any other Big 12 game if I have time. I will watch some Thursday night MAC games if nothing is on and have a random game on if I'm home and my wife isn't watching something else.

How many people can name any player besides Trevor Lawrence on last year's Clemson team? Not very many. How many people care? Less.

I spend 6 months of the year in Florida. My observation is the people who don't know the difference between Iowa and Iowa State (btw - most do) are the same ones that think Iowa, Indiana, and Idaho are the same place.

He knows the difference between the teams and knows the conferences, but it was a real pull to think of the town of Ames.

Why would even a big college football fan know much about Iowa State before the last 2 years? You would know what conference they are in and that they haven't been historically good.

Reddit comments regarding this cease and desist. Didn't ESPN do this same thing to the Big East? As in work behind the scene to break up the conference

Disagree with your last statement, but otherwise a well stated response.

You are a rare exception.

I think there’s a difference between that and knowing where colleges are or even mascots of the college. I don’t need to know a single player on the team to know that Purdue is in West Lafayette.
