    OT: This developing Iowa State vs Penn State rivalry has been fun to watch

    Did I just scroll thru this entire thread and not see a link to an example of the salty banter between those fan bases? Surely there has to be a posting on X or Reddit or some sports forum where can read and enjoy said fans going at it 🤔

    If a 24-Team CFP had existed from the very beginning (2014)

    80 different schools would have made it at least once.

    IOWA ($180.0M) #28 in Total Revenue for Fiscal Year 2025. Clown U ($103.9M) is #68. IOWA is #3 in Net Rev Surplus ($29.1M), after Texas & Notre Dame

    Nah, you can easily move Iowa up another 5-6 spots on where they are as a program nationally. Take programs like Nebraska, Kentucky and Duke (along with a few others) and drop them below Iowa.

    That’s not quite accurate since you’d have to adjust Iowa’s tv/media payout and revenue shared from the CFP. This would drastically reduce their overall income. Being a member of the BigTen has its advantages ;)

    I stand corrected, not a “state” loan…but I could have sworn it had to be approved by state officials. Guess I was wrong? From Google AI: “In early 2021, the University of Iowa main campus loaned $50 million from its cash reserves to its Athletics Department to cover a projected $75 million...

    Bennett Stirtz at the NBA Combine

    I concur. Charles Barkley was listed at 6'6 and he was only 6'4.25 ...if I recall correctly. Of course, he was a beast back in the day and played like he was 6'9. Stirtz seems to play taller as well, but being a guard and playing out on the wing is much different than banging in the post.

    I keep looking at this forum hoping to see Tavion Banks is coming back.

    NCAA denying Banks another year of eligibility...

    Anyone worried about the LB situation?

    I think all this "worried about the DL" chatter is just that, and nothing more. As long as they do what Phil and Kevin teach them, we'll be fine...and mainly that is containment and slowing down the run. You don't necessarily need huge bodies for that, just kids that understand leverage and...
