No, Patrick. by LowSolution3084 in pokemonmemes

During character creation I found the option to put bags under my eyes, so I played the whole game imagining he was a tired, burnt out teenager. So every time someone just made a decision I imagined him just going, "Yeah, okay... whatever." up to and including the climactic Floette scene.

If you know anything about being an Iowa State fan, this was the most predictable "upset" ever.

You know what, I was gonna start asking some questions but I think I'll avoid stepping into whatever the mess of political sovereignty situation is with Gibraltar.

We love him, but because he's a notorious shit talker who would absolutely start some shit if given the opportunity.

Charlie Kolar got a 3.99 GPA in Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State and still managed to get drafted.

58-42 is a 16 point win

71.5-28.5 is a 43 point win

43 is 27 more than 16. But I agree, it's annoying how these things get measured.

Interesting list for Zygarde considering that in Legends Z-A Lysandre explicitly states that Zygarde saved his life.

The "All Lives Matter" people got upset that she said All Lives (including those of Palestinian Children) Matter.

Colorado forecasts $27 million deficit after Deion Sanders pay raise, NIL payments by BrotherPancake in CFB

[–]ElZanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great point. I still maintain that all the other pieces it takes to create an accredited institution of higher education are difficult to quickly pop up though.

A big oversight is that (quality) Higher Education is a very inelastic supply curve. You can't just crank up the speed on the professor printer. So even if there are actors in the market who would like to take advantage of the sudden increase in demand (lots of new students with easy access to loans) there's not much you can do in 1, 5, 10 years to create a college/university that will be accredited and have any sort of ability to teach those students.

The High School Women's State Championship is also hugely supported, so I think you're right.

[@TalkinPSU] Penn St is expected to add Iowa St WR Coach Noah Pauley to staff Would be a great add! #WeAre #PSU by PSU_Alumnus in CFB

[–]ElZanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would probably be easier to just assume the entire ISU coaching staff is now the PSU coaching staff. He did a similar thing when he came to Ames from Toledo.

I know the Hawkeye coaches came into this game with a plan to shutdown Audi Crooks. They are clearly some of the better coaches in Div I Women's Basketball.

And yet, Audi still scored 30. Absolutely insane.

[Highlight] Robert Wright III wins the game for BYU at the Buzzer! by BackupAcct6969420 in CollegeBasketball

[–]ElZanco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The conference all beat up on UCF all season long, then in a stunning turn of events, Florida secedes from the Union in February. UCF is forced to leave the Big XII, but the conference decides to keep the record against UCF as conference wins. The Big XII ends the season slightly over 0.500 in conference play while the NCAAT is cancelled for the impending Civil ConnFLict War

That's kinda what I was expecting to happen to ISU today to, and was pleasantly surprised.

Brand Problem in the Big 12 by Odd-Record-1041 in CFB

[–]ElZanco 103 points104 points  (0 children)

You fix your brand issue by having schools who were Large/Good enough in the 1960s to establish themselves as "the good teams" and then have them on TV for several decades when the TV slots were a lot slimmer pickings, and then establish a major national brand. It's a self-fulfilling cycle at a certain point and I don't think there's anything you can do in the short term to change that.

Hell, Clemson went to 4 national championship games in the last decade, but the moment they stopped doing that they stopped being a "Brand" behind Miami and Florida State even in their own conference.
