    I’m aware. But a bunch of hammered Midwest rubes in a beautiful European city cracks my ass up

    That was awesome. Can’t wait for whatever crazy shit happens in FarmO’Geddon in this slot next year. A bunch of shitfaced Midwestern farmers in Dublin is going to be a hilarious scene.

    Uniform Pron

    You see a ton at our games now. The problem is that our players love them and we’ve won a bunch of big games in them, and now a large chunk of younger ISU fans associate it with success.

    I hate our black uniforms more than you ever could.

    My wife is dead set on a ghost tour this time. I’m not a fan, but I know that acquiescing to this will lead to wild drunk kid-free hotel sex. Whats the best one?

    Just booked a trip in late January. Haven't been since 2016. Fucking pumped.
  7. Al_4_ISU
    100% agree.

    Absolutely. I'm just saying that OSU probably isn't the first school to do this had Gundy been more publicly pro NIL in the first place. Gundy dug himself a little bit of a hole on that front and I have 0 doubt it's being used against him on the recruiting trail. Stuff like this is done to counteract that perception.
  9. Al_4_ISU
    Bingo. Gundy has a reputation for being anti NIL and he's been working pretty hard to reverse that (as opposed to just dying on the vine like Dabo). This is just a means of letting people know he's on Team NIL.

    And haphazardly assists the Germans in their evil schemes.

    Love me some Italian pils. (I have no god damn clue what the difference is)
  12. Al_4_ISU
    Black Stack French Pils

    I remember Bowman and Purdy playing in their respective freshmen years and the announcers billing it as a battle of freshman phenoms. It was a pretty tight game that we pulled out and I remember in the next offseason there was a Bowman vs. Purdy debate on a lot of Big 12 pods. Think that one got settled.

    Kevin Warren? But to your point, teams 20-40 are essentially the same as teams 40-60 in terms of profile and viewership. 20-60 are more alike than 20-40 are like 1-20. You lose a lot of viewers if you just cut out 20 schools that actually care.
  15. Al_4_ISU
    If there’s a super league it will be about 60 schools and everyone in it will have 50K + stadiums

    Someone had photoshopped "Football" over "Soccer" on that graphic yesterday and I about rolled off my chair before I realized it had been altered.

    It's like ESPN's constant divestment of talent has tangible consequences.
  18. Al_4_ISU
    I generally agree with your point, I'm just pointing that his best season (which accounts for 25% of his tenure as a head coach at this point) beats a ton of active coaches, including a lot of the dudes ahead of him on that list. And it's only 3 seasons ago, so there's gonna be some recency bias. I think Baylor's a bottom 1/3rd (of the Big 12) team this year and he's back to being a DC next year.

    He's 2 years removed from a conference title. Kirk Ferentz, for example, has never won an outright conference title.

    Casey’s pizza is all they have going for them at this point, and you’re never more than 15 miles from one. Legitimately decent, but it used to be great. Some mom and pop gas stations have good pizza too.

    I'm an old Millenial who was on the school bus for 90 minutes a day between '92-'95 and we couldn't escape that shit either.
  22. Al_4_ISU
    The Gin Blossoms had some excellent Paul Westerberg rip offs.
  23. Al_4_ISU
    They do look nice.

    They sold out to Maverick from Utah. Kum & Go's will be gone soon. Plus, they were fairly inconsistent in their locations and layouts. Tons in central Iowa, but almost none in the far northern part of the state (where I live). It's all Kwik Trip/Star and Casey's, or mom and pop type joints. The occasional Love's at a busy interchange too.

    To follow up on this again, I have seen far less Trump shit than the last two cycles. He'll still carry these counties (as well as our neighboring rural MN and WI counties), but enthusiasm and momentum for him seems to be waning. There's even a giant "KAMALA HARRIS" flag right off the main highway through my town, next to the Kwik Star (if you know the Upper Midwest, you know that this is basically the busiest spot in any small town). While it's every bit as cringey as a Trump flag, it feels like a meaningful data point towards a general sense of Trump fatigue.
