Here what I think honestly - Iowa's offense was not inspiring in any way on Saturday, but I think Ferentz is a take what the other team gives you kind of guy. And since ISU kept turning the ball over and the offense generally looked like they were trying to F a doorknob, he had complete...

he’ll sound like he binged a WWII documentary. Always does.

Great game by the Hawks. Ferentz owns Campbell. It’s a wrap

Honestly I disagree. Redbox bowl is in San Fran, and CA has always had some very tight restrictions on this stuff. No bowls in the southeast (where most of them are) are getting cancelled due to COVID. You can deduce your own reasons why.

Seems reasonable. I guess I'd characterize it like this - there are probably about 15 programs that actually increase the slice of the TV revenue pie (because ultimately that's what we're talking about). Everybody else doesn't. Again, my point isn't that ISU should be in the Big 10 or...

ISU as it's own entity doesn't bring enough to the table to justify a larger portion of the TV revenue pie in a major conference. But the # of schools who do is pretty small. I honestly don't even know what we're debating at this point. ISU isn't as valuable as the few schools who grow the pie...

Any of those 5 programs? Why would I compare ISU to those 5 specifically? Of course they don't bring as much as those programs, those aren't comparable schools and I think you know it. I think college football teams are like NBA players. There are really only about 10 to 15 of them that are...

https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings PAC 12 TV ratings problems are well known at this point. I also don't think the PAC 12 is a very strong or stable conference at this point, of course it seems like it relative to the Big 12.

Of course he would switch with UCLA. But the real question is, would UCLA swap places with a place like Minnesota? IMO I think they would in a heartbeat even though they'd never say it. The major cash is going to flow to two conferences at this point, the SEC and the Big 10, and everybody else...

Again, why is that criteria for anything? Everybody knows who they are… we’ll okay? Take ticket sales out entirely. Nobody watches them on TV, and if that’s not what this is all about then what is? I bet our game on Saturday has more viewers than any UCLA game this season.

Are you suggesting ISU just literally quit offering athletics?

Honest question, what is the value of being a national brand if it doesn't result in more ticket sales, more TV viewership, or anything like that? ISU is in a better place than UCLA in both cases.

Who, outside of Clemson?

UCF only had one game last year over 3 million viewers and that was their game against Georgia Tech. BYU's best viewed game was 1.55 million viewers against UCF in their bowl. Several Big 12 teams get more eyeballs than that. There will be no Big 12 network and there shouldn't be. The Pac 12...

My seats in Ames are typically right by where the opposing band is if they bring one. I kind of like it but I get it's not for everybody, it can get a little loud and cacophonous when both bands are playing and everybody is yelling and the speakers are going, etc. Iowa band notified all road...

I didn't watch Iowa's game on Saturday, but I listened to Jeff Woody who is a former ISU player who does some podcasts and he thought Petras played well on Saturday. He certainly wasn't critical of him at all and thought he did exactly what he should have been doing.

Iowa has a great defense, I think that's pretty much a given. Fantastic last year and returns a lot of talent. I don't think there will be a ton of pressure on Purdy in this game however, because I think they'll get the ball out quick. ISU quarterbacks have 3 turnovers (Zeb Noland fumble 2018...

All of that's certainly possible, and it's something both teams should be looking to right now, but I don't think it's particularly probable. That's all. If either team wins this game and ends the season 11-1 it will be a huge victory, along with all of the others.

Maryland changes stuff all the time being the UA school with some pretty terrible combos and got a big 10 invite. It’s almost like that has nothing to do with it.

your post said “when, if ever”. 22 guys averaged over that amount just last year.
