Let’s reel him in TJ!

Beat the Longhorns!

Other than KU at home, this is the most important game we play. Nothing about their win/loss record scares me (TTU played them close Saturday), their staff still has to be figuring things out sans Beard and Hilton will be rocking. This is when I wish I lived close enough to have MBB season tickets. Anyone have any insight on matchups?. I would guess Gabe gets Carr.

Another republican...another incident of voter fraud

It really is amazing... they project literally everything they do.

"SIOUX CITY, Iowa — The wife of a northwestern Iowa county supervisor has been charged with 52 counts of voter fraud after she allegedly filled out and cast absentee ballots in her husband's unsuccessful race for a Republican nomination to run for Congress in 2020, federal prosecutors said."

What is it now? 50 to 1?

FOOTBALL RELEASE: Iowa State Completes FB Strength & Conditioning Staff****

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State has completed its football strength and conditioning staff, which will be under the guidance of director of football strength and conditioning Reid Kagy.

Trever Ryen, who played at Iowa State from 2014-17 and has been on staff the previous three seasons, has been retained.

Former Boise State staffers Jalyn Baker, Brandon Pietrzyk and Lucas White will follow Kagy to Ames to complete the football strength and conditioning department.

As members of the Boise State staff, the trio helped Kagy in leading the Broncos to a pair of bowl games. BSU went 10-4 and won the Frisco Bowl in 2022, while also earning a spot in the Mountain West Championship game. The Broncos outgained their opponents by more than 1,200 yards (102.2 ypg) and dominated the line of scrimmage with 27 sacks and just 14 allowed.

Baker spent the last two seasons at Boise State after a stint at Jackson State, where he served as assistant coordinator for the Walter Peyton Center, working with student-athletes in all JSU programs. He also interned at Houston and Prairie View A&M, where he was a student-athlete and earned a degree in kinesiology/physical therapy in 2018.

Pietrzyk was most recently the associate director of sport performance at Boise State the previous two seasons after a season at Oregon in 2020. Prior to his time with the Ducks, he worked four years as the athletic director at Glenview College Prep in Phoenix, Arizona, where he also coached boys basketball, football and softball. He is a 2011 graduate of Buena Vista (Iowa), earning his bachelor’s degree in exercise science - human performance.

White was at Boise State for the 2021 and 2022 seasons after spending nine months as an assistant athletic performance coach at San Jose State. He began his collegiate career as a strength and conditioning intern with Mississippi State football in 2016. He also spent time at New Mexico State and Indiana State. White earned his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Southern Indiana in 2013.

I'm not a fan of Big 12 hoops scheduling

Many conferences these days start conference play in December...Big East, Big Ten, Horizon (I bring those three up because of Marquette, Wisconsin, Milwaukee in my home region) all have conference games in December. This allows for a "bye" somewhere along the way during the conference season.

The Big 12 doesn't do this. We have one open slot from Jan 1 until March, and it's filled with the Big 12/SEC challenge game.

Grueling stretch from Jan 1 until March--having an open slot I'm sure would be appreciated by coaches and players. Just don't get why the Big 12 does this. This week, it's Texas for us three days after the very tough game vs. Kansas. (And, yes, I know Texas just played on Saturday too.)

I realize it's the same for ever team, but sure seems like it would make sense to play a couple conference games early to give teams a break during conference season.

That's my rant for today.
