It's Texas Tech week, so let's get rolling with those predictions for the game against the Red Raiders.

1) Winner & margin of victory. (ex: Iowa State by six)
2) Total points scored. (ex: 52 points)

The Cyclones are currently being favored by 3.5 points (the line opened at 3) and the over/under is 47.5 points.

Number one will be the first determiner and then I'll take whoever gets closest to the total points.

Contest winners will be rewarded as follows: first place (three free months added to your subscription); second place (two free months); third place (one free month).

I've been a fan of his for many years, back when he was in Congress. One of the few Democrats I'd like to see in national office. Rumors that he's going to get back into elective politics.

Per Randy P, Lee, Stanley and Vaughn are not going thru senior ceremony. It would be great if they use the Covid year and come back next season.

4 seats in Section 10, Row 9. Parking pass in A4. $150 total OBO.

Text me at 515-669-1064 if you want them. Section B row 11 but that shouldn't really matter today.

Watching Baylor’s creativity on the offensive side of the ball on their opening drive against TCU makes me even more frustrated with our vanilla, ineffective play calling.

Some will argue execution and while that is present with our offense, I would argue that is largely due to our predictability.

It's that week in the season that SEC teams play such stalwarts as Austin Peay, East Tennessee St., UMass, Western Kentucky, New Mexico St. and UAB.

The "supposedly" best conference in the NCAA and each team only plays 8 conference foes.
Granted some of the teams play one decent non-conference foe, but it isn't required.
(4) relatively easy non-conf games and you only need (2) conf. wins to be bowl eleigible.

A week opponent in Week 12 is almost like another bye week.

I would like the Big 12, when we have 12 teams consider the same scheduling. Play 8 conf. games and 4 non-con games.
Let each school decide if they want to schedule 1 or 2 tough non-con games or not.
As evidenced by the media's disregard for TCU, it wouldn't matter if we played 9 or 10 conf. games, we won't get the respect.

Massey composite rankings has the Big 12 as the #1 conference. Most media types would say we are 3rd behind SEC and B1g.

Plans announced today by UIHC to tear down Ramp 1, the Hearing Center, and the Water Tower next to Kinnick by 2025. Get this, they are going to build a giant ramp on lot 43, which is next to the Press Box at Kinnick and where tons of people tailgate, to replace ramp 1. The Hospital will be completely enclosing the Stadium. Poor Hawks!

While we are planning Cy town, they are planning to fill their only real tailgating lot with a giant parking ramp. Their fans are going to be pissed.

Oh, in 2025, they will start building a massive patient tower where that water tower currently stands. Kinnick is going to be completely surrounded by the Hospital.

Walkoff FG by TCU to win 29-28.

Game just mentioned about all the "trophies" B1G teams play for.... including Iowa and Missouri playing for the telephone..... Complete idiots..

Completing a pass. Best stat ever.

I mean did they play with walk-ons and team managers due to the players all eating some bad sushi.

Not sure this is what was intended, but Olivia Dunne from LSU is making 2 M per year from NIL for let says "steaming" pictures. Female coach then wants to complain this is setting woman back, since it is all about her looks, and not her talent or brains. Olivia Dunne. Hate to say this, it is always going to be about looks for both sexes, and more so for the women athletes. Is it fair, no, but the world is not a fair.

Our group fell apart. This was graciously given to me, so I am returning the favor to someone else.

I'm sure stadium maintenance is well experienced dealing with snow, but damn, that might be a bit much.

Democrats are going wacko because Republicans have gone to court in some states to ensure the voting rules are followed. I do not understand why this is even controversial. Rules are the same for everybody, they are well publicized, WTF not follow them? One of the big reasons for all the hassle in 2020 was the states that just ignored the law, claiming the pandemic justified it.

This is nothing new. In 2000 in Florida, there were large signs inside every voting place saying that if the paper wasn't totally removed by the punch, the vote WOULD NOT BE COUNTED. But instead, we were treated to weeks of people holding ballots up to the light and using different criteria from one table to the next to determine whether a chad had been punched or not.

Saw a young man proudly blasting his I-State logo on his shirt at the Omaha Cabella’s. I had to introduce myself as a fellow Cyclone. He was looking for wool socks for the TTU game like I was, so I walked back and showed him where I’d just got mine. He got the exact same pair that my cousin recommended. Neat young man and we had a great conversation. He’s going to to be there Saturday w a new pair of wool socks.

Tomorrow I’ll pick up some toe and hand warners at Menards. Anyone else do a little cold weather shopping?
