I used to be all about the Elam ending but in the TBT or NIT they did it and I didn’t like it. They just need to call intentional fouls. You don’t make a play on the ball ring them up.

Very busy losing hundreds of millions on an Italian soccer club.

I’m saying if we had Albaugh like people around here think we do, we could have at least made some counter offers for Campbell and some players, and we wouldn’t be scraping the barrel just for enough to meet the rev share amount. There were issues between Campbell and the AD due to Iowa State...

If the clones had Albaugh we’d still have Campbell.

Not picking on you, because 98% of Iowa State fans don’t know this, but Iowa State or the state are paying nothing for the construction of cytown. It’s managed 100% by the builder. They’ll continue unless the builder wants to back out with a massive sunk cost. If they back out, all the athletic...

I think there would be a bit of cutting your nose off to spite your face. Personally if Iowa State was completely pushed down a level I’d advocate they just drop football and do something like file for bankruptcy to get out of the debt associated with the program, and I’d just probably not watch...

It’s TT and BYU and everybody else. Both of them have mega donors. They are the only ones that will be able to keep their coaches and players.

Just for those keeping track at home, Iowa State, counting the graduating seniors is down 57 players.

Look at their schedule. If Iowa State had that schedule with the team they would have had under Campbell I would absolutely expect 9 wins.

Undoubtedly that was part of it, but the stuff earlier in this thread was just blatantly untrue. His budget at PSU is more than 2x that of Iowa State. Iowa State will be 14 million, PSU has guaranteed him 30+ million. These type of jobs don’t open often and it’s probably the only one he would...

Been a lot of complaining about pollard on certain issues (IE no beer in games) for a long time. For the most part people are very happy with him and they should be.

Not true

Gonna be interesting. Only beginning IMO. Most of the two deep will be gone.

For sure it should. I just think I’d like to see the weighting moved much more heavily to reward playing good teams. Right now it’s better to play the worst team in the country and beat them by 50 rather than play top 100 teams and lose or play them close. Makes it really hard for good mid...

Here’s the problem - margin of victory is capped at 20 points. The efficiency part is not capped. If you’re scoring 1.3 PPP and holding your opponent to .7 PPP over a large # of possessions it makes your overall rating just get jacked up

Correct. Part of the formula needs fixed around this but until they do piss pounding these 300+ teams is very helpful. Don’t look not but we are 1/3 through the season. Iowa would have to absolutely tank to even get down to around 50 right now.

Agreed. But Iowa has given themselves room to lose a game or two in conference play they shouldn’t. Depending on which games Iowa could go 9-11 in conference play and be in pretty easily IMO.

Iowa’s NET ranking is 13th. KenPom 19th. Torvik 18th and projecting Iowa for a 6 seed in the tourney. The metrics love Iowa. Honestly barring a meltdown Iowa is easily in the tourney. Your seed will be impacted by the lack of Q1 and Q2 wins but plenty of opportunity for that in conference...

Basically every game last year was a bad game/matchup in the first round.

Probably so. But would those two games draw more ratings than 16 games? Of course not.
