  1. Iowa and ISU have done it in hoops
  2. I really hate Down Under. i fuckin’ love Eatin’ Big Time, Bitin’ List, Oneida, and Grindstone. Everything else is fine. Really, this seems to be where I’ve come down on every album since Purgatory. Some great songs, but just not a great album.
  3. I thought this guy has been fairly discredited?
  4. KU wouldn’t leave the Big 12 unless it was for the SEC or Big 10. The ACC is behind the Big 12 in hoops, likely losing their best hoops program in the next 5 years, and they would lose a ton of needle moving games. I really think the Big 12 and the ACC schools that don’t get SEC/B1G invites will merge, making this a moot point anyhow.
  5. Big 12’s been a better hoops league than the ACC for awhile now, and a lot of those programs will probably be on KU’s schedule before long.
  6. If the Big 10 wanted CU or Utah, they would have added them in ‘23. I see KU fans bring it up sometimes, but again - how many rounds of Big 10 expansion come and gone without it? Pretty clear they’re waiting for the end of the ACC GOR.
  7. Why? They’re still likely to get 4 at large in a 5/11
  8. My understanding is that the Big 10 would buckle on the 4-4-2-2 if the SEC would agree to play 9 games.
  9. Any fan of a current Big 12 school who wants to get into the SEC or Big 10 at this point is an idiot. From an actual fan perspective. Of course every single athletic administrator would fall all over themselves at the chance. The Big 12 schools (and most ACC ones) should be focusing their efforts less on getting invited into those leagues and more about coalescing as a product that stays included on the field in major college football. You'll never get the payday, but if you get to stay part of the mix, it's as good as you can do. The factors required for inclusion in those leagues going forward are fixed and in the past. You can't win your way in, you can't buy your way in. If you didn't start building your brand 50 years ago, or have been grandfathered in, it's over. There's no room for new money in that tree fort. Tech has struggled in the Big 12 for the better part of the last 15 years. They'd fare worse in the SEC. They'd be fucking miserable. They could do the chant though.
  10. Vandy and Purdue will be getting their pay cut soon, I’d imagine.
  11. New Glarus Totally Naked. Madeline Island, WI
  12. Mich Golden at Curly’s in Duluth. $2.50 on a Friday
  13. Just do the 6er. Ain’t nothing wrong with Old Mil and Premo Sunday Haze. Castle Danger Brewing, Two Harbors MN
  14. Air Force has some of the best regular unis in the game. This looks like something UCF would do.
  15. That guy is extremely cringey. He had a funny ISU character in one video that got forwarded to me, but most of it reminded of those terrible niche comedians that are making jokes for some weird insular community. Like an explicitly Christian comedian.
  16. I used to go to a lot of road games. It would be a weekend trip designed around soaking in the game day experience of that school, with little time for exploring the greater locale. I would much rather do this in a place like Baton Rouge than Palo Alto. The amount of fun I had in a trip had a lot to do with the game itself and experience around it. I travel around the US as much as I can, and my actual vacations rarely overlap with places that have major colleges.
  17. Then take the trip? This is about football and not fan vacations, football is far and away the most important cultural touchstone. The Pac 12 didnt put sports at the top of their priority list and now they don’t exist.
  18. Texas’s schedule in the Big 10 would look a lot more like its Big 12 schedule than its SEC schedule. You guys complained about having schools like us and the Kansas schools on your schedule every year, but that’s basically what you’d have got in the Big 10. Maybe one of Pedo/OSU/Mich per year. A lot fewer helmet schools than the SEC.
  19. I'm moving this direction. The last few times I've done 3-2-1 it was too long. Not sure if my thermometer is off or what, but the ends of the rack were getting too dry.
  20. I'm slightly exaggerating, but all you left off the list were white-ass Mexican restaurants and liquor stores.
  21. Kind of. A good analogy might be like Ann Arbor to Detroit. Basically part of the same MSA, but a distinct and separate character and feel due to the university presence.
  22. Ankeny and Huxley are basically attached at this point. If Ames had grown to the south as much as it's grown to the north and west the past 30 years, it would be one unbroken urban area already.
  23. They did. They come to Ames in '26, and then in '27 the game finally won't be played (unless we both make CCG). It will be 5 years without Farmageddon in Manhattan. A lot of KSU folks aren't real thrilled about it. This is nothing but a boon for us.
  24. Check back in 10 years. There's about 5 miles of real open country between the south end of Ames and the northern most Des Moines suburb. It's not yet, but it will happen in my lifetime.
