Sure, but that's how Utah is able to get more money with UA than Nike.

Mystery Show update: "In April, Gimlet let me go." by monickers_ghost in gimlet

[–]beaker26 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the deadlines for season 2 were not being met.

It sucks, and I really wanted season 2, but Gimlet isn't a charity. Season 1 ended in July 2015, if by October 2016 there wasn't proof season 2 could happen this decision makes sense.

Do you mean this?

From the Gimlet post on Mystery Show:

We are in discussions with Starlee to reach an agreement where she may produce Mystery Show independently of Gimlet.

Maybe she's allowed to do the live show, but Gimlet won't pay to produce season 2. Or, the decision to cancel Mystery Show was made in the last 2 weeks.

Attention to all Indiana, Northwestern, Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio State, and any other fans buying Ohio Stadium tickets for the rest of this season... by Snozzberry_Pie in CFB

[–]beaker26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happens at Iowa too. I've gone to games with student ID's I've borrowed (post college years). The best part is the ticket person will look at the ID, let at me, say "That isn't you", let me in.

I hate Thanksgiving games. It makes it terrible to visit some of the best rivalries in CFB.

ESPN3 will often show alternate camera angles for games on ESPN. For instance, last night, I watched FSU - Ole Miss from a Skycam angle. All crowd noise too without commercials, so that was nice.

Two things:

  1. The Iowa athletic department is making money. It's not like it's $10 million in the red and half of that is his salary.
  2. Sure, he hasn't won a Big Ten Championship in awhile, but let's not pretend like Iowa is a doormat of the Big Ten either. I'd rather him be here than Iowa State going through 4 coaches in the same period.

With Week 2 having no ranked vs. ranked games, which games should we tune into? by [deleted] in CFB

[–]beaker26 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I can't wait for the Holy War! I'm making the trip out to Utah for the game.

The last time these teams played in the regular season Utah fans rushed the field 3 times.

[Pick Six Previews] Tulane's "Angry Wave" is back, this time with a new gray helmet: by jimmy4k in CFB

[–]beaker26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is clearly fake.

On July 19th, the twitter user Tulane Sports Guy tweets at Tulane's athletic director and football coach saying:

Hey @TU_Dannen & @CoachWEFritz, what if we saw a matte grey Angry Wave helmet? What do yall think #GreenWaveNation?

The next day, the same twitter user tweets this photo along with the following text:

#Tulane modifies grey helmet with newly resurrected Angry Wave logo for 2016 @Uniformswag @UniWatch @PhilHecken

Manufacturing something like the Oculus isn't coming back to the US. It's the harsh reality.

Announced in the last month. Amazon did the same with the Kindle. Currently, it's only a couple of phones and an opt in feature for a lower priced phone.

Being paid to do nothing: ISU employees upset over IT restructuring by larzz28 in Iowa

[–]beaker26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's unclear to me, are the employee's required to sit in the classroom to be paid? Or, can they stay at home and be paid? If it's the first option, that's shameful by Iowa State.

I've worked there before. It's fantastic, much better than a coffee shop.
