Cant believe they didnt just hold for him to take the last shot

The best strategy I’ve seen on this is the midnight start. If you can get an 8-10 beer head start from 12-2:30AM and then log a few hours of sleep its basically a typically tailgate Saturday with the stress of watching Iowa try to hang on to a 12-10 lead for 3+hours swapped out for a 10 mile run.

I see you are familiar with the experience known as Iowa football.

Lot of tanking talk recently so here’s my solution that no one asked for: Using the NFL for ex… best record not to make the playoffs gets the #1 pick. Picks 18-32 go to playoff teams, the worst team in the league picks 17th.

Phrasing in their statements seems intentionally vague, I interpreted the “coming this fall” to be the integration of ESPN Unlimited content into the YTTV platform (a la NBCSN) and doesnt rule out the first half of 26 for authentication, but perhaps thats just optimism.

Typically opposed to remakes, but really need someone to adapt Brewster‘s Millions to 2026 math. 30 days to spend $100M, but you can not have any possessions after the 30 days. Honestly think it would help explain the billionaire fascination with politics.

By my math current key Cubs pieces acquired as a result of the sell off: PCA, Palencia, Brown, Alcantara, and Edward Cabrera (via Caissie). Not a bad haul.

I don’t quite understand how networks can place as much value on live sports as they do, yet we get the equivalent of the “Boom goes the dynamite” guy calling this Iowa/USC game. Just let us sync the radio broadcast at this point.

How did only 3 seconds come off the clock? Clock doesn’t start running on the snap so this game should be over anyway.

The 1 in 19 and 1:

Shooting percentage against Iowa when the shot clock is expiring is 1000000%.

Me, an Iowa alum who enjoys pro wrestling reading this article:

Farley, Norm, Ferrell, Hartman

Players are seemingly evaluated based on either their recruiting ranking or their projected draft position. There are GREAT college players that don’t get the spotlight because they get buried under the Draft/Playoff/Recruiting hype machines.

I have recited this quote at least once a week for what feels like a decade.

Only one left.

We continually want to promote teams based on “perceived” talent. Not dismissing what happened last night, but there’s a reason A&M fired Jimbo. Star ratings don’t win games, teams do.

Indiana is catching hell for being Indiana, not their schedule lets be clear. Same resume and it’s Michigan/Wisconsin/USC out of the Big Ten and the conversation is completely different.

If going 11-1 in the Big Ten doesn’t make you “deserving” then just name the 12 teams you want in the playoff in August and this thing can just be college footballs version of the Maui Invitational.

“We wanted you to be the first to know that Steve Cohen and the Mets signed Juan Soto for you tonight”

I’m old enough to remember last year when your starting QB got hurt it was enough to discredit your whole season. This year, it’s just a gritty team win.

Texas-5 v SMU, and ND-7 v Indiana, both instate matchups. Penn St v Clemson is good enough to sell itself (This is a wholly pessimistic view that they are ranking for TV and not performance)

Benetti is the best multi sport broadcaster in America and I’m not sure its close at this point. Pairing him with Klatt would be 1B+ to Fowler/Herbstriets 1A.

Allow me to introduce you to last nights Iowa Nebraska affair…

If you used the same ratio of highest paid QB to highest paid coach in the NFL ($60M/$20M), the highest paid QB in college should be making Kirby’s $13.3Mx3. So the highest paid QB in CFB should be worth $40M/annually. (This is admittedly absurd, but provides some perspective)

2021 Iowa was 10-2, ranked 13th going into the title game, best win was #4 Penn St who wound up going 7-6. They get left out for sure.

Whoever it is, if they take away the MLBtv feature of syncing the radio broadcast to TV I’m not sure I will emotionally recover.
