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

    Clown town and Iowa City aren’t even close when it comes to dining. Places like the Webster, Orchard Green and Baroncinni don’t exist in story county. The Webster is rumored to gain Michelin status. Clowns wouldn’t even know what Michelin means outside of a tire that is too expensive for their...

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

    I find this post quite salty. It takes a salty type of salt to post such a salty statement. You must be a salt of the earth type of guy to use salty type of phrase regarding salty salt salt salt.

    It's the offseason, right?.......Would you be OK with this conference realignment?

    No we need 2 major conferences. 20 teams each. Everyone else drops down a division in football. This is what is going to happen anyway. Let’s just get it over with. And no, clown U won’t be one of the teams. .

    Clown U will have access to up to a $30M line of credit from RedBird Capital Partners that would have to be paid back w/ a Double-Digit Interest Rate

    By being a mid major and FCS school. General fund. About 6 million. Clown U could do that too by becoming a mid major.

    Clown U will have access to up to a $30M line of credit from RedBird Capital Partners that would have to be paid back w/ a Double-Digit Interest Rate

    The idea of using taxpayer dollars to fund Iowa State Athletics sounds appealing on the surface, but it doesn’t survive legal or practical scrutiny. Any legislative effort to direct state funds exclusively to ISU would almost certainly trigger an immediate lawsuit from the University of Iowa...

    Jamie Pollard has a new title: “Endowed Cyclone Director of Athletics.” Clown U is still facing a $147 Million budget deficit through 2031

    Back in the 1980s Farm Crisis, when farmers were actually getting crushed, it wasn’t Iowa State University putting anything on helmets or stepping out front culturally. The place that’s supposed to embody the farmer didn’t exactly look like it knew how to speak for them So Iowa Hawkeyes...

    Because your ag school didn’t do it in the farm crisis.

    I don’t dislike land-grant universities. They serve a purpose. But let’s not pretend they are cultural hubs. Places like Iowa State University are where the farm kids go to learn ag, engineering, and applied science. That is their lane. It is not where the state’s cultural center of gravity is...

    This still feels a lot less like a need and a lot more like Iowa State trying to give itself a glow-up. Iowa State University has always seemed a little self-conscious about how it’s perceived, so now the answer is to build a shiny district next to Jack Trice Stadium and the Iowa State Center...

    Regarding Clowntown This project has all the markings of a classic boondoggle. A hotel anchored to a college football stadium sounds appealing on paper, but the underlying economics just don’t support it. Outside of six or seven home Saturdays a year, demand will fall off a cliff. That’s not a...

    This is really just how it works with mid-majors. You get a run, you enjoy it, and then gravity reasserts itself. I’ve always maintained that Clown U is, at its athletic soul, a mid-major program operating on a power conference budget or, more accurately, a mid-major budget while everyone...

    Jaidyn Coon Storm Lake

    Storm lake isn’t exactly synonymous with basketball lore. Does DeJean going to school there a long time ago somehow make that record more impressive?

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    I liked brands 10 years ago. The lunatic personality doesn’t work anymore. One thing i noticed this year was the chain and scrambling wrestling has advanced incredibly. Maybe I’m old but this was the best wrestling I’ve ever seen in the semis and finals. The Iowa guys seem to be plodding and...

    Yes overly crediting the coaches is ridiculous. It’s not like these ready made wrestlers chose the school because of any coach.
