    OSU list will be interesting. I would think the 2 Missouri Valley darlings (Schertz at Indiana State and DeVries at Drake) would be on their radar. I think DeVries would kill it there. I don't want him in the Big 12 though.

    It's everywhere on Twitter now though.

    Yeah, it was time. Always liked the guy, but once they start slamming NIL and the portal and all of that, you just can't have that person leading your program. Plus the results haven't been great.

    Yup. It almost doesn't even need to be articulated in our house anymore. She also doesn't even need to see my phone to know I'm posting about my experience at some recommended place either. She can just read it in my face or something. Fucking women.

    I know it's sacrileg in this thread, and while I enjoyed my Allsup's burrito, I couldn't help but think that the Casey's breakfast burritos are honestly a little better, and I'm by no means a Casey's honk. 10 years ago they were a powerhouse example of what Midwestern gas stations are all about. Now they're a decrepit monument to what happens when you get publicly traded and try to make shareholders more money by hiring the cheapest (IE worst) help you can. But they still have good food.

    I was impressed with him last season, and bought into KSU's insistence that he's the best human ever, but I should know by now not to trust anyone with that much institutional history at Baylor. I had not seen this prior to my post, but spot on.

    I really enjoyed reading that, Brisket. I feel the same way about my home state. Have for a long time. Big reason I won't leave despite it going in a direction that makes me not recognize the place I've spent my entire life. I'm raising my daughter here and I hope she can grow up to be the kind of strong, tough woman who can help effectuate change, but it seems far more likely that like your daughter, she'll put Iowa in the rearview and it will be part of her story, but not her future.

    Fuck K State. Was really hoping UT would win last night. Instead we've got fucking Farmageddon for the 2nd time in 5 days. Fuck Tang in his fucking lying bitch cunt. I'm pissing on anything purple I see today.

    When I was a kid and we'd travel with my grandparents, my grandma would make fried chicken and then throw it in the cooler to eat on the road. Usually had hard boiled eggs to go with it. My grandpa would always find some cool roadside park and we'd have a picnic of that, chased with RC Cola (because they were cheap asses) while they hammered some Winstons (they finally quit smoking in the car with us some time around 1990). Great memories.

    My wife has gotten really good at sniffing that kind of thing out. Me: Oh, hey. We gotta stop at ____________. I've heard it's really good. Her: People on the internet told you that didn't they? She has at least learned that the internet tends to give me good advice about this kind of shit

    I was actually on my way to Tucson. I probably listened to Willin’ 30 times in those two days.

    The only Alsup’s burrito I’ve ever had was from the one in Tucumcari
  13. Al_4_ISU
    Yeah exactly. If the Big 10 and SEC wanted any more of those schools they could take them any day.
  14. Al_4_ISU
    Love me some Rand McNally

    Washington State and Oregon State just got relegated. It comes down to money. If TV wants a super exclusive super league, it’s going to happen. 2/3rds of the Big 10 and half the SEC are Big 12 and ACC level programs getting subsidized by the blue bloods. They are “leaches” much like the I8 have been called time and time again on this board. If they aren’t relegated they’ll be forced to take a lesser share, which will narrow the gap between them and the B12/ACC. In this era of insatiable greed, one of these outcomes seems inevitable.
  16. Al_4_ISU
    Almost everyone in the Big 12 and ACC will have a far better chance of making the playoff than Purdue or Mississippi State ever will, even in such an arrangement. I think the bottom half SEC and Big 10 schools are quietly becoming major losers in all of this. Yes, they'll get big checks and get to brag about being in the wealthy conference, but they're just well-compensated versions of the Washington Generals going forward. Until maybe one day they aren't. With this unstoppable greed train, it seems impossible that Ohio State and Michigan will never tire of floating the Purdues of the world.
  17. Al_4_ISU
    That episode wasn't the weakest of the season at all, IMO. Definitely better than the Disgruntled one.

    I think you just answered part of your own question. On top of that, Moser is a Midwest guy. My guess is when he came to Norman he thought they were staying in the Big 12 and he'd be able to play and recruit in that footprint quite a bit and build OU basketball back into a thing that mattered on an annual basis. The move to the SEC cuts OU off from playing more Midwestern schools and puts Moser in a situation where his recruiting connections don't have any overlap with where he's actually playing the games. Now going back for DePaul? Yeesh. That job is shit. Yeah, they're in the Big East, but they don't have an on campus arena, and Chicago is not a college sports town. @ChiTownDoc can probably add more accuracy here, but I'd imagine that in the Chicago college basketball pecking order, DePaul is somewhere behind Illinois, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Loyola, and maybe even Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue, and Indiana.

    They’re already trying to overhype SEC basketball to pump their pet product
  20. Al_4_ISU
    Go Dogs (have second degree from Drake)
  21. Al_4_ISU
    This one is excellent too
  22. Al_4_ISU
    Forgot how good Dangerous Man (Minneapolis) was
  23. Al_4_ISU
    That definitely changed my mood. Should serve as wake up to quit trying to play hero ball in half court sets. Maybe if they get to the semis next week
  24. Al_4_ISU
    What a fucking pathetic effort. Just pissed away a huge opportunity
  25. Al_4_ISU
    We have everything to play for and all they have is spoiling our title bid. If I wasn’t having to parent, I’d be breaking shit in the garage
