    Corn’s in the ground.

    If this just turns into the UFL in college towns, it will absolutely take a hit

    Damn. Heal up quick!

    Pre-sliced braunschweiger? Now that’s up town

    Love jaeternice

    I would assume so. Lots of Czechs and Krauts in Texas

    This is very close to how I see it unfolding.

    Because those schools (not BC) will likely merge with the Big 12 for a large 3rd conference that competes in the same set of playoffs as the SEC and Big 10 (with less TV $ of course). I assume that Pac-ACC tier is the schools that don’t seem to care about big time athletics much getting together. I think this + unequal revenue sharing in the SEC and Big 10 is where it’s heading.

    Love the Kaui Brewing sticker

    It’s kinda wild how CUSA went from being one of the better mid majors to far and away the dregs of FBS so quickly.

    It’s like how you can still go see something called Lynyrd Skynyrd that doesn’t feature a single original member.

    To be fair, the black beans I had at lunch already cleared that path

    Braunschweiger, white cheddar, mustard, pickle. Chased with a Michelada from scratch

    That was a little sad in our house. Mizz State was a long time member of the Missouri Valley, which also includes Northern Iowa. My wife ran track for UNI and her conference meet a couple of years was at Missouri State.

    That's not the actual one we had. Just a picture of a restored one that looks much shinier than the one I was running.

    No. The city actually. Funny you mention Olivers though, as the other side of my family (the one that farms) had plenty, and a 1655 was the first thing I ever learned to drive (after the skidloader of course). And I know a lot of guys my dad's age who worked in that White factory.

    Twisters

    That might actually be more ridiculous than the flying cow. I kinda hate the first one too, for a bunch of reasons, but I still watched it as a kid a bunch of times. It's a complicated relationship. Engineered in a Chinese lab.

    Is someone making an Oklahoma stereotype bingo card for that trailer? We've got grain elevators, windmills, oil rigs, rodeos, wheat fields, run down diners, hay fields, cows. I didn't catch a meth lab in there, but I guess they can't bat 1.000. Seriously, that opening scene at the rodeo is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in years. Every one of the cell phones would have blown up at least 15 minutes before that thing touched down. Hell, they have enough warning any more they'd have probably postponed it before anything even got close.
  19. Al_4_ISU
    Assuming it doesn't end up exploded, yes.

    NWS just issued a "Favorable conditions for funnel clouds" for my county. I don't know if this is a precursor to an actual tornado watch, or if we've just zoomed on past that. Does NOT seem like nader weather. It was muggy AF yesterday, but it's been raining/drizzling since midnight. Not much volatility in the air it seems. Just looked it up. Weird. Seems to just be aerial funnel clouds that don't become actual tornadoes.https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=IAZ009&warncounty=IAC089&firewxzone=IAZ009&local_place1=Cresco IA&product1=Special+Weather+Statement&lat=43.3746&lon=-92.1134 Crazy that it's happening by Charles City, though. That place is an absolute nader magnet. My grandpa was working there during their 1968 EF5.

    I'm not trying to make my point about ISU vs Kentucky. Once I saw that what games weren't included, I understand why they're so low. And some of ISU's Fox OTA appearances were probably thrown out because at least one was UT who was our highest draw of an opponent. This was a 7 year window, too. My point was more that the Big 10 isn't as formidable as it looks and that a lot of schools in the other 4 leagues of that time frame were better than that looks. In the quoted post, I was referencing NW, who had almost all of their games on rated networks (exceptions being some Peacock games in 2023 alone).

    There's an SNL performance that McCready was completely blacked out during that's earlier than the performance above. I always thought that's what got him on the path to get clean. I'm pretty sure he was into heroin at one point too. Prior to that, and obviously not as deep as many others in the Seattle scene.
  23. Al_4_ISU
    Uhh, its the opposite. We have fewer games on those networks and still racked up more viewers than 5 Big 10 schools who are getting all of their games counted. That chart is total views. 25-30% of games for any Big 12, ACC, Pac 12, or bottom half of the SEC school aren't being included and many of those schools are either beating or in the ball park of schools who have all of their games counted.
  24. Al_4_ISU
    Exactly. So when it shows ISU barely ahead of Northwestern, that's with 30% of our games showing 0 viewership. In reality, we're pounding them. And same applies for UK, Mizzou, Virginia, etc.
  25. Al_4_ISU
    ESPN+ and Pac 12 Network had a ton of the games for the current Big 12 schools. And a lot of SEC and ACC schools play games on those respective conference networks. So really, with those numbers being completely excluded, a lot of those schools compare more favorably to the Big 10 on a per broadcast basis than it even looks like.
