Based solely on jersey sales, Missourian and former Mizzouer, Sophie Cunningham is the second most famous person in Iowa right now.

It's been nearly 20 years since I lived in Iowa. I was back in DSM recently to visit my kid who is interning at an insurance company while on summer break from school. I was in a Scheels. He needed new shoes. Yes, of course I always expect an Iowa and ISU section at sporting goods store. I also...

From the one thing I read, it sounded a little like a bowl game.

Is that an ice cream cone? As in 'vanilla'? Or am I missing some other reference. Like a video of Kirk eating a Carver Cone or something? FTR, I think Carver Cones get more hype than they deserve. I mean, you can make one in the dining halls anytime you want. Plus toppings. My wife who worked...

100%. I've expressed my...appreciation?....respect? etc. for Wisconsin in this thread. For some time, they too, experienced stability as evidenced by Alvarez/Bielema (bonus for the handoff when Alvarez moved into the C-suite)...and arguably Chryst as well. But, I don't think anyone looks at...

Michigan does not scare me. In my estimation, Ferentz is 8-9 against Michigan. I count the COVID Big 10 championship that Michigan chickened out of as a win. 9-8 against Penn State. Obviously, the record against OSU is not....not good. But I can live with it. The only team that is triggering...

She's got as good a team (I mean, off court/management/PR team) around her as Clark. You can't point to anything in her game, character, or presentation that's not to like. Heck, even Clark had some things in her on court behavior that we all probably wish never came out at times. Not seen...

x3 Bend but don't break is always anxiety inducing. When it breaks, it's angrifying. Heartbreak lasts forever. But can be erased the very next season. This one really hurts because we can't point to a B10 Championship where every Hawk fan who was alive at the time is still unable to legally...

Yah....I'm an idiot. I meant "in the red". I was referring to something else being in the black earlier today and got confused. Frazzled day touring yet more assisted living facilities for my parents. As I've told my kids, "you can decide to have children or not. Totally up to you. But...

So, anybody know how healthy it really is? STL paper is reporting today that the Mizzou athletic department is $15 million in the red on $180 million gross revenue. This, of course, prior to pending revenue sharing with athletes. Covering with an internal loan from the university. Is this...

Fair. Their wide receivers were 0-0 with -4 yards.

I cannot stand Notre Dame. I live in St. Louis. The Catholic connection runs way deep here. Way deep. There's as many ND fans here as there are bandwagon Chiefs fans. So annoying. I wanna hate PSU. But, even as an interloper to the Big 10, they fit right in to the Big 10. It feels right having...

I know an entire wide receiver corps that had zero catches for -4 yards in a CFP semifinal that might be looking to hit the portal en masse. Just sayin'

You got a point there. The chances of him moving 'up' are non-existent. That being said, "moving up" might not be the only factor. I mean, it's not like Beck has a lot of opportunity to "move up" from Georgia. Could be that Morningside (well, you know what I mean....maybe something more like...

To be fair, the last 4 minutes were much more what I expected of this entire game. So, I'll take it as a spirit win.
