Good point, I'm wrong about SC. I was trying to just think of a team in each of the conferences and just landed there only because their program is in a bad spot right now. That wasn't fair, I should have gone for Vandy or something I just thought that was too obvious.

This was precisely my point. Teams that people actually don't care about will end up reaping huge rewards just because cable companies can extort people who live near them for more money.

Finally this is what I absolutely hate about college sports right now. There was a ton of "the Big 10 should get USC and UCLA!" UCLA only has value because of where the university is located. They had a game with fairly big ratings against USC last year (3.24 million viewers) but also had games...

I mean that might be true but I don't think the lack of rivalries has anything to do with that to be honest. If ISU was good, they would be viewed more, as 2020 proved.

Catching IL early, when they have a new coaching staff, their QB gets injured right away, and they don't have much depth on an extremely hot day wasn't good? Sounds like an ideal situation to me actually. Neb just sucks.

I was driving back from KC and found the Husker radio network and I listened to basically the entire first half on the drive home. Listening to a couple of those sequences (INT overturned and 30 yards of penalties, Punt return safety, etc) from Husker broadcasters was absolutely hilarious. I was...

No, the Big 12 as it is currently constituted is done. I mean the lawsuits that are going to be settled between the current members and OU/UT for leaving. I assume they they will be leaving and they will negotiate some sort of payout from ESPN or something since the Big 12 will still have the...

it will drop into the shitter even if you added those teams. If you add those teams, they will demand a new GoR. They absolutely cannot do it until the lawsuits shake out and again the possibility of joining a new conference absolutely isn’t happening. just my opinion obviously but I don’t...

You can't bring in anybody and no school would vote to bring in anybody until they know what's going to happen with the other conferences. If you've got a chance to get into one of the big 4 now, they are going to hold on until there isn't another option. The revenue model still sucking means...

I think this is absolutely the reason why we are hearing about it.

Again, outside of the run with Pelini where he finished 9-4 seemingly every year, they haven't been that good since they fired Solich. And they're 21-35 in the last 5 years. For reference, ISU went 22-31 from 1988-1992, a period which was the heyday of Jim Walden. That's not exactly the company...

Summer league basketball sucks. You have to be an absolute die hard to watch it.

Completely disagree. 41st draft pick as about his ceiling. Unless he just wanted to keep going to school there is no chance he improved his odds of making the NBA IMO.

I'm not exactly young but I prefer basketball now. I love the skill instead of the ramming into each other.

But... they aren't testing them. That's the whole point. It's not that people aren't getting them for political reasons, it's that their political leanings tie in to a larger group of factors leading to them being vaccine skeptics.

I agree with basically everything you're saying here. If people don't want to get vaxxed I strongly disagree with them but I don't think there should be a mandate or anything like that. What I do think is that insurance companies shouldn't have to cover anybody for costs associated with people...

The reason I came here is that ISU is currently at ~95% and I think everybody will be vaxxed by the start of the season. I do wonder if this will cause a problem for Iowa at the start of the season.

Iowa is pretty red now to be honest. Trump crushed here the last few times and many newish congress members got swept out both at the state and national level. It's not Utah but it's not Minnesota either. The difference isn't exaggerated. Republicans are roughly six times more likely than...

Highly doubt they knew each other, the guy is a former walk on that is 30 years old who played a different sport. Personally I know people are quick to dump on JBo but the guy got punched. I think we all want to exist in a society where we don't punch each other over dumb stuff.

Well of course you would, but that goes to what trj said - they only care if their team is really good. If they aren't, they don't care at all.
