On USA network. Nearing halftime

A what if…the rest of the non Big 10 and SEC say F off with your greedy playoff proposal and have a playoff with the rest of the conferences AND agree not to play any SEC Big 10 schools.? Go after an Amazon to fund playoff and put some sanity into the rules. I think the bullies would back off, but if they didn’t move forward. And include basketball. The non big boy schools are gonna have to get creative. If you are counting on the government to fix it, forget it.

Trump just suggested that we should replace military leaders with NASCAR team owners or football coaches. THIS is the man you want leading the country?

Ah, yes, Iowa's back-to-school tax-free weekend: When you spend $20 in gas and another $20 in fast food to drive to the mall to buy $100 worth of goods in order to save $7 in taxes.....

She openly admits this week that she will take executive action that is unconstitutional and take peoples guns. Constitution, she could care less about the constitution. Your typical liberal tyrant.

The new football limit on roster size is 105. All can be on scholarship, but a school can determine how many they want.

Would it be advantageous for a school like Iowa State to say we are only going to offer full scholarships to, say, 65 players. The other 50 will be walkons or partials. Then annually take the football portion of the 22 million "salary" and give it exclusively to the 65 on a yearly basis. It wouldn't get us the top dogs, but would allow us to play better for the 2nd tier of college athlete. Pay more for a smaller roster.

If this has been discussed, I couldn't find it...plus I'm lazy. Who is doing the place kicking for us this fall? Contreraz was a great pick up last year. Just wanting to know if I can relax on extra points and field goal attempts or if I need to bring my nut cup to the games.

I started at Boeing with a Cyclone at the helm and now I guess we will have a Hawkeye 😱. I’m guessing maybe Psyclone and others in here may have worked with him in the past?

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State punter Tyler Perkins has been named to the Ray Guy Award Watch List, the Augusta Sports Council announced Friday. The award is annually given to the nation's top punter.

An honorable mention All-Big 12 selection in 2023, Perkins averaged 44.3 yards per punt, the third-best single-season average in school history. He punted 61 times with 18 kicks over 50 yards and had 25 downed inside the 20-yard line.

The Norwalk, Ohio native was named the Ray Guy National Punter of the Week after averaging 43.8 yards per punt and dropping four of his five kicks inside the 20, with two of them also going at least 50 yards, against Ohio.

Perkins owned one of two 70-yard punts in the Big 12 last season. He enters 2024 with a career average of 43.4 yards per punt, tops in Iowa State history.

The Cyclones open the season August 31 against 2023 FCS Playoff qualifier North Dakota.

Anyone happen to have the EGO 56V mower with 2 batteries? Like/dislike?

Thinking about making the switch. But I mow my neighbor's lawn too. So would have to switch batteries a couple times and sometimes I let grass get kind of long. Wondering how the power is?

We got a commit from 2025 prospect Reese Beaty, a 5-8 PG from Tennessee who was a Clemson commit before their coaching change. She has an impressive list of offers that include TCU, West Virginia, Colorado, Auburn, Cal, Marquette, Michigan, Pitt, Penn State, Wisconsin, Mississippi State, Missouri, Arkansas, Florida Atlantic, Cleveland State, Penn and Harvard.

CMC is scheduled to meet with the media at around 10:30 this morning inside the Stark Performance Center media room. I'll be posting all the highlights in the thread below.

Select players will then meet with the media immediately following CMC's presser.
