They finished 9th in 2020. During those 'unprecedented times'

One thing I'm sure of.... Last year was statistically amongst ISU's best ever 11 wins and finishing the season ranked 15. Not their highest ranking. They've finished the season ranked twice under Campbell. Which equals all the coaches before him dating back to 1980. At best, 50-50 chance of...

I mean, that's really my point. That's why 'better' was in air quotes. Because it's the only theoretical way to easily quantifiably measure the two. My actual point really, is that Ferentz is roughly .500 against PSU as a whole. His record against Michigan was pretty good up until a few years...

Franklin is 5-2 against Ferentz Ferentz is 10-8 against PSU So, you would have to say that Franklin is 'better'. But, he's also looking for work. Assuming we've seen the worst of the Kirk Ferentz football since his first 2 seasons, there will most likely be a statue erected somewhere near...

I think that's good news. They're still Indiana.

And hair.

I followed Arthur Wojdat in the in the 1988 and 1992 Olympics and rooted for him even though he was racing for his native Poland (GO WORLD!). I'm kind of an Olympic junky and he came to my PE swimming class when I was a freshman. I'm assuming the TA or whoever taught the class was on the swim...

I own 3 TV shows on DVD. Well, 4. But 4 gets an asterisk. -LOST (because it was the greatest ever). -Ark II (it was my first foray into my favorite genre ever....post apocalypse) -Wonder Woman I had a huge thing for Lynda Carter. Who am I kidding? I still do. She is the smoke show to end all...

Football WBB....since Clark's sophomore year. Surprised at how much I continue to watch, pay attention to, and invest my blood pressure in post Clark. To be fair, I went to more women's games than men's games when I was a student. Cheap entertainment. No hassle. No crowds. No giving up a big...

I mean, I can have the steak and pay for peacock too. But I'm making my stand. I'm going to poke my fingers in their chest and show them this isn't going to work. This pathetic attempt at customer acquisition. In fact, they're making me so mad I might stop watching reruns of The Office. And at...

I mean, I bet the UFL would take 20 million dollars and let you have a franchise. Surely 50 million. Then they could coach forever and never worry about being fired.

Is there a way to see who got snaps besides people who show up in measurable stats? I rewatched yesterday to see if my kid's buddy got snaps. He got some against UMass, but at a position I don't think he's ever played. And to my son's knowledge never had reps at even in practice. Because I know...

Then again, Rutgers did that. But fair on to them. They certainly circled Iowa on the calendar. But I don't remember them making any comments. The 2025 Iowa team would definitely have been a real opportunity for them if they could have won. And the 2025 Rutgers team definitely could have been...

Uh. Curmudgeon here. Still not paying. But, I am actively looking to borrow an account for an evening.

This isn't the first time we'll find out about a "successful" coach who outright lost a team. MTV made a whole movie about it. Although, I suspect in this portal world, there aren't many coaches who are despised by their team. Hence my reference to drawing up plays on their chest. When James...

Best example. Mack Brown had quite a run. Until he didn't. Sarksian has had 2 years with 10+ wins. This year? 10 wins gonna be hard, even with a bowl win. On paper, it's 7 wins. So, 8 or 9? Still a very good year. But, at that point...."underachieving". And not unheard of to have a second 7 win...

Yah. I never played football. I dunno if there's any truth to the bulletin board material thing. I think there's gotta be some truth to it. But also, no real practical effect. Also, it seems rare to me. At least rare enough that it rises to the point where it's discussed outside the locker room...

Right, we saw what Skippy's kid at UCLA did to PSU that ignited this situation. I mean, yes. You're preparing for a team and a quarterback that you have to assume have some talent. Maybe the unmissing link to make that all come together is gone. And maybe they have the missing link. I know they...

Absolutely. The same has been said of Ferentz and either Parker. Same has been said of various Boise St., UCF, and Liberty coaches. And Bill Snyder. And Mangina...err...Mangino. And various others. You could add Matt Cambell. Dan McCarney or even better Gene Chizik. But, he also dispels that...

What's the fine for rushing the field if you're fans if the visiting team? And is there extra for stealing their goalposts. just wondering since Nebraska is currently ranked. Thinking of making the trip.
