I 100% believe Iowa could attract a higher profile coach than Nebraska. Not that they should. Or would. But I can totally believe that what fan detractors (including some Hawk fans) say about Iowa celebrating mediocrity, comes across totally different to a coach. A head coach sees a program...

And yet, extending Rhule was the absolute best move on their part. Which is awesome. I love the fact that Nebraska's best bet, was extending him.

Oh. Absolutely.My thought too. But if you're gonna leverage something for opportunity, the timing was really bad. And I dunno you can get past "inappropriate relationship" these days. Impromptu partying with coeds at Mizzou in the 90s Eustachy style, yah. But inappropriate relationships are...

I mean, apart from the actual game... And keep in mind, I know less about gambling than football... Vandy fans are going to put in a lot of money, especially with their 'Heisman worthy" quarterback. Which I assume will drive up the over/under. Which means, if I were a betting man, I would take...

Annnnnd.... This is why it's nuts. Too many teams. Not enough weeks. The ONLY way, in my estimation....or at least the hill I'm dying on.....is to maintain the awesomesauce of the conferences. The entire season is the playoffs. A giant 130 team tournament. The conferences are the brackets...

I mean. Yes. But I still find value in conferences. To me, conferences are a huge part of what made college football great. Why it grew. Why it made a ton of money and why tons of people watch it. Even though they knew they weren't watching the "best two teams" going head to head. The money did...

And I don't disagree with this either. I knew I'd never get my way after the dilution of the Big 12 and dissolution of the Pac 12.

If you make it 16 teams, people will argue over #17. The simplest way? Send Oregon, USC, Washington, UCLA back to the Pac 12. Group of 5 is responsible for determining a champ. Indiana Georgia Texas Tech Duke Pac 12 winner Group of 5 rep Boom. Done. No more fighting. No arguing. The only...

Not expand. Contract. Conference winners only. I don't care if the Big 12 rep is lame. Let the Group of 5 figure out a way to crown a champ if they want. There is no point in another IU/OSU matchup. Indiana won. They have proven they are better, on a neutral field even, than OSU. Alabama and...

If I'm ISU, I'm not doing a bowl. Fair enough to them. Not sure about K-State's deal. Butthurt Notre Dame now out. I've said it before...I will say it again, this need for a national champion and playoffs is bad business. Especially with the idea of wildcards. Conference champs should be the...

I texted him to blink twice if he's OK.

Then again....I'd like another crack at em. Statistically, they will not be as good next year. Even the OSUs and Alabama's of the world have serious trouble with dominating consistency. For a stretch of bowl games there, Iowa played like 3 teams who were either the "defending" champs or who...

So, I was never sure about CyTown. My Cyclone nephews were telling me you can't really "live" in those apartments. They're like just for game weekend or something? I mean, yes...it's a development in a college town. But still, it's trying to leverage it's value on what amounts to 6 or 8 weekends...

So I dunno how this works. My wife just asked "Don't they lose a whole bunch of money not going to a bowl?" My assumption is... -a lot of the money is distributed to the conference -direct money is offset by not insignificant cost of transport, staff and team support costs, etc The players...

I'm full on for schmaltz.. I haven'r resorted to Hallmark movies. Korean dramas are way way better. The women have perfect skin and the men are all seemingly scrawny. But when you look, they are absolutely ripped. But that's a whole different post.
