Why on earth does ISU go to play at all these lower level teams? AT Ark State? Are you kidding? At Bowling Green? I don't see anyone else in the Big 12 doing this stuff.
You didn't even look. I'm not going to go through every Big 12 team, but here's two examples:

OSU played @ Boise State in 2021, @ Tulsa in 2019, @ South Alabama in 2017, @ Central Michigan in 2015, @ UT San Antonio in 2013....

Baylor: @BYU in 2022, @ Texas State in 2021, @ Rice in 2019, @ UTSA in 2018, @Rice in 2016, @SMU in 2015, @Buffalo in 2014,.....

It's pretty common.

I am fine if they bring it back just as an intro to the segment, but I have no idea why they think it’s a good idea to play it the entire time.

Agree. It's OK as a playful segue, but Blum's guess-the-line is good enough on its own (and consistently accurate). YSax in the background doesn't enhance it.

On the pod was it mentioned there is a RV parking Facebook group. I looked for it with no luck. Anyone know more? I have been in the RV lot since they opened and agree it is a great addition.


Here is the link to the RV Village Facebook Group:

You all can say all you want about our content. Me and Blum suck. The Clones suck. David Harris sucks. But I'll be damned if I am going to sit here and let you bad mouth Yakety Sax.
Pls don't ban me, I repent. Yakkity sax is a top 10 song of the 20th century. The football team should use it for the new intro.

I listen to podcasts at 1.5x, and, sped up, that English song is KILLER. Makes me miss The Urge.

Sirs, please continue with your fine content, for which I pay $0, and which makes washing the dishes slightly less annoying.

We better be able to go get someone a LOT better than Harris or Troy D from Tulane. Yikes. Harris has done a bad job at UNI.

The odd part is he's replaced by UNI or Tulane AD if I heard right. What?
Is this Earl Bruce all over again?
Why not the 2nd in command at any consistent Top 10 FB school?
We have a bizarre fixation with former players, former employees, and Iowa natives. I get it, it’s different circumstances at ISU. But it’s almost like we talk ourselves into settling for the familiar option instead of the best one. I’m confident the university would do a full search if we had to replace our AD.

With all the Yakety Sax action, how has this not yet been linked? Is this the weirdest ISU football game ever?



Enjoy.


Perhaps the weirdest one that worked out in the end.

Colorado '07 is up there too.

I'm guessing Pollard would pick his own replacement

Yeah, my guess is if Wendy is still around he’d get most of the say.

I’m not as down on David Harris as some. He got there right before covid and money dried up because of that.

Pollard brought Harris with him from WI. One of Jamie's mistakes. I believe I know why he was hired at WI and it would not be a good way to hire people but it's what is done.
Not supervisor material. No PR skills.
