    Stone Cold Upsets & Lead Pipe Locks - Week 2

    Nitpicking of the highest order? Are YOU serious? That's like a baseball team winning in the first inning and the game being rained out, but the team counts the game as a win. If Michigan hadn't covered the game when the game was called early, do you think it would be counted as a loss or a...

    Stone Cold Upsets & Lead Pipe Locks - Week 2

    So you're counting the Michigan game from last week as a win, too? Even though it was called early enough that every sportsbook in the land (legal and illegal) would rule it a "no-action" because it did not go 55 minutes? Wow, between that and the counting ties as wins, you really are...

    Stone Cold Upsets & Lead Pipe Locks - Week 1

    Nice tip. I had Wisconsin +21 last night. Was worried for awhile, but that's a good win for my first bet of the season. So I'm now 5-0 for the season. I consider each of my wins to be worth 5, and all of my losses to be worth zero ...

    Stone Cold Upsets & Lead Pipe Locks - Week 1

    Even in a "for fun" atmosphere, you don't find it odd the practice of taking a tie (not a subjective argument, but a black-and-white tie), and calling it a win for the sake of inflating someone's record picking games and boosting their ego? Then when someone calls out a poster (no matter who...

    Stone Cold Upsets & Lead Pipe Locks - Week 1

    That's what you are taking from the practice of taking a tie and treating it as a win? That it's some obscure 'code' of gambling 'ethics'? You would ignore ANY poster who ripped anyone other than Steve for using the same practice. I also find it humorous that you pretend to look down your...

    Worst experience at Jack Trice?

    Not at Jack Trice, so sorry if this shouldn't be shared, but ... Was at Arrowhead for Chiefs-Vikings a few years back, and it was the year that UNI beat Iowa State and then we lost to Iowa State. After the game, I was in the Chiefs' team store place with my son (he was 8 or 9 at the time) and...

    Best place to buy Iowa pics?

    Here's another option: Montague Photo He has photos on the site back to the 2003 season, is very easy to deal with and has quick turnaround. His prices are reasonable and are on the site, and he does very high-quality work.

    Season Ticket Question

    I've wondered the same thing. I'm sure if those people posted this year, it would be: "My wife and I can't afford them again." "Uncle Tom and Aunt Betty moved out of the area, so we need 2 fewer seats." "My group of buddies aren't together anymore, so it's not going to work out." My...

    Is Matt Painter all that special?

    I still don't see the relevance of this. It's not a choice of Painter or Anderson, it's a choice of Painter or someone else who would take the job. What realistic candidates out there would you rather have than Painter?

    Is Matt Painter all that special?

    I would bet a week's salary that he already has thrown his hat into that mix, and he's been told, "We'll let you know" as Missouri went after Painter.

    Is Matt Painter all that special?

    Yeah, I agree that if it's Mike Anderson or Matt Painter, you would probably take Mike Anderson. But that's not the choice Missouri gets to make. They get to choose between Matt Painter and ...? Who would you choose over Matt Painter, if you're Missouri? Ben Jacobsen? No Gregg...

    Tressel Press Conference at 1pm

    Wow, that's quite a difference. Was that the kid who was spouting off about that to a reporter in Manhattan, Kan., or with the K-State Rivals site, and then when he the story was picked up and he was asked further about it, he backtracked and basically denied the sex offer ever happened?

    Tressel Press Conference at 1pm

    I think that special has players also telling of being paid by boosters at Ohio State and Michigan State, too. Remember when the "recruit sex" reports came out about Iowa, maybe with the pursuit of Josh Freeman? But for Tressel, I'm sure a lackey in the SID office will come out before...

    Mike Anderson leaves Mizzou for Arkansas

    I don't think they can sell their fan base on Cuonzo Martin (and you could probably say the same about Alford). He's done a nice job at Missouri State, and he's going to be a very good coach at a big school someday, but I think their fans expect to get more than a coach who has 1 NIT trip and...

    Mike Anderson leaves Mizzou for Arkansas

    I fully expect him to be their next coach. The only way he wouldn't be interested is if he's waiting and banking on Tom Crean to continue to struggle and get the boot at Indiana, and thinks they finally will decide it's his time there. I see some people are saying they are going to go...

    Mike Anderson leaves Mizzou for Arkansas

    How long do you think it took for Alford's agent to place a call to the Missouri AD?

    I'm Leaving HR/Rivals for Good

    Brilliant, Duff. You're right, by "examples", I meant "links". Or I may have just meant "topics"?

    I'm Leaving HR/Rivals for Good

    Good point. Just out of curiosity, shake, what are some examples of half the threads that are deleted for no reason. I don't spend a lot of time over there, but in the last week or so, it seems like anybody that's mad on HROT is mad about the "Wouldja?" stuff being deleted. I'm wondering...

    I'm Leaving HR/Rivals for Good

    Please tell me this isn't over the whole "Wouldja?" garbage? If so, I think you may be in for a rude awakening here. I really doubt Jon is going to allow 20 "Wouldja?" threads filled with pictures of half-naked whores, by a bunch of mental 8-year-olds trying to top each other by posting...
