    Top 50 CFB Fanbases per ChatGTP

    On a somewhat connected thought. I just returned from a 3 week trip to Perth, Australia. While in a grocery store wearing my Iowa visor, a guy looked at me and said w his Aussie accent “Iowa Hawkeyes?” Turns out the guy was a punter for Minnesota thru 2024. He is from Perth and lives about...

    OT: Hawk Baseball finishes strong in Des Moines; I went to Thursday's game and it was great; Alivo can sling it

    Go Hawks. MSU took 2 of 3 in the regular season. Win and it’s So Cal with nothing to lose basically.

    Anyone worried about the LB situation?

    Not too worried because of Phil and we have 3 games to work out the kinks.

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

    Because you are a clown show car reck. Everyone loves this when it comes to ISU.

    Iowa is working on a contract extension for Ben McCollum

    I think HIS commitment to Iowa was obvious. We did the right thing not taking a stance of “let’s see how the next few years go” and locking him up. We have our coach and he has now proven himself at multiple programs and levels.

    Coop at the Kentucky Derby

    One of the best sporting events ever. Was lucky to sit at the finish line one year and have a wrist band that got my bride and I in anywhere. We had a section with a private betting window with few people that included Loni Anderson and John Goodman. I had Thunder Gulch at 20-1. It was an...

    Can't wait!

    I was at Iowa when Hayden and Lute were there. What a glorious time. Rose Bowl. Final Four and wrestling owned the world. So excited Ben is there. He is our guy.

    If Tavion Banks returns in 2026-27, we would have 0 Open Roster Spots (14 players are officially signed)

    I agree the potential is there. Sometimes players don’t shine thru until a star is gone. I like the young man.

    Anyone going to Sat's FB practice? Would love to hear any comments

    This is a pretty good example of a thread you should never check in on twice.

    No threat of running plays but the QBs did not have a good day yesterday.

    Lots of full pressure from defense. Lack of running lanes. QBs had zero time. Heck improvised better and DID go through his progressions pretty quick. Our defense MAY be much better than anticipated as well. Then again, they stayed very vanilla in their approach on offense with key WRs out.
