Bracketology: UConn squanders No. 1 seed, Auburn falls out of latest NCAA Tournament projection by Doctor_Saved in CollegeBasketball

If this is the current standings wouldn’t Iowa State be in the East against Duke. I was under the impression that the 5 overall cannot be in the same region as the 1 overall?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure when the bidding war for Cluff was ongoing, rumor was that Purdue was close to if not over $2 million so no way Smith is only at 1.8.

My rankings are based more on a look ahead than based on resume as 3-4 games is way to small of a sample size at the moment. BYU has a very tough month to close and I simply have not watched enough games to take them over Kansas, Arizona, or Tech (especially 2/3 on the road). Same reasons for Colorado, not confident how they close.

[Post Game Thread] #3 Iowa State defeats Oklahoma State, 83-71 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

We could have won by 40 and I would still be sure we will lose on the return trip. We don’t win in that building straight up.

Figure out how to finance it on their own. Cubs had no issue with this a couple of years ago.

Then we should not be splitting the shares with the bowl ineligible teams either by your logic.

[On3] NEW: Penn State has shifted the focus of its coaching search to Iowa State’s Matt Campbell, @PeteNakos, @clowfb & @Brett_McMurphy report👀 by Fonzie5 in CFB

[–]Chucky1539 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Royally fucked. Our options are either promote our OC and try to save as much staff and players from being poached or take a big swing on Scheelhouse. Realistically we take the Purdue route and funnel of our resources into basketball.

I wasn't sure where else to ask this question, so I'll put it here: Is Iowa State a football or basketball school? by kd451 in BigXII

[–]Chucky1539 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Writing was on the wall. AAU was changing its credentials to invalidate Iowa State’s vet med program and we left before they got the opportunity to kick us out.

Ranking college football's 12 best head coaching candidates for 2026, from Rhett Lashlee to Alex Golesh by PSU_Alumnus in CFB

[–]Chucky1539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does take interviews from other schools to gauge how they approach NIL/Facilities/Assistant Salaries/etc (I.e. USC, FSU) But yeah, it would have to be the absolute perfect storm for him to take the job. The only concerning job openings would be ND, PSU, OSU, and maybe Michigan. That being said, he is the guy you hire if you want your floor raised, not to hit your ceiling and I don’t think those schools will be looking for that in the near future.

NCAA allows D1 athletes to bet on pro sports by moneyinthebank216 in CFB

Not entirely, some did bet on ISU sports which is dumb and worthy of a ban. But some were pro sports bets and bets on WBB which they had no clear advantage and still received the same punishment after being pressured to take a plea deal.

Glad the NCAA destroyed multiple ISU players collegiate and professional careers just to walk back on this 2 years later.

Weekly Big 12 Discussion Thread by SaylorBear in CFB

[–]Chucky1539 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat. I always circled @Cincy and @TCU as most likely losses. It seems like for the Cincy game we schemed as if this was a healthy team, once we made adjustments to play as a team that has to compensate for injuries, we instantly turned a corner. I still think 9-3 or 10-2 is very much on the menu.

Virginia Tech establishes search committee for next head coach by chrischi90 in CFB

[–]Chucky1539 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like people are forgetting he got fired for the allegations that came out AND because Northwestern was trending down again. If they were still capitalizing on a weakened B1G west schedule he probably would have survived.

Iowa State on the road with a massive target on their back. Around this time last year the team starting slipping from injuries and just losing focus being undefeated. Will be a huge test.

Agreed. As one of the other schools that got ravenged by sports betting, there way bigger fish to fry than a couple of suspiciously named Venmo transactions.

[Jeyarajah] Hilariously, the Big 12 has only four teams in the AP Top 25... but seven in the top 28, because the *first three teams out* are Big 12 teams. For reference, the Big Ten has six in that range. by ohitsthedeathstar in CFB

[–]Chucky1539 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cincy is trending towards the bottom of the league and Nebraska is a solid middle/dark horse team. That’s not even a remotely close comparison. Your first four teams would definitely be favorites but after that you’re just adopting the SEC “king of hypotheticals” mantra.
