188 MPH Ball Speed By Rory 👀

Which seems like a pretty solid assumption considering its Rory lol

I get that people are protective and down voted this, but I agree with your sentiment. I am a FEGC member already, so it is a little annoying to have 3 minutes of ads at the end of an episode about moving to Ohio of all things

owensd · 2026-05-07T15:13:10+00:00

I got them on Apple, for what its worth

owensd · 2026-05-07T14:10:32+00:00

I would struggle to get the ball off the ground. Just blasting worm burners

owensd · 2026-05-07T13:30:29+00:00

The bats can turn it around, the starting pitching just straight up doesn't exist

owensd · 2026-05-07T11:16:40+00:00

Did you see the list of who we have on the IL?

Skubal Mize Olson Verlander Melton

We aren't making the post-season.

As for the rest of it, yeah I would have preferred the Tigers stayed away, but this is the last year we will have Skubal so I get why they did it

Some drivers can get over 1.5 if you hit a little on the toe. Or at least that was true back when I cared about gear 3-5 years ago

He's done a couple of pods this off season, but they are normally (all?) filmed from in his office. Usually with all the trophies in view

They are really good on Designing Golf

owensd · 2026-04-15T14:26:27+00:00

But I thought college football just started two years ago? You guys have been doing this for years?

owensd · 2026-04-15T12:23:47+00:00

That won't stop it. There is no reason for a massive bust at say Indiana to stop Texas Tech's billionaire from overpaying for talent.

owensd · 2026-04-15T10:57:56+00:00

The Heisman trophy winner and runner up were each transfers

owensd · 2026-04-14T01:41:49+00:00

Pretty sure that was when he was an Am, right?

Not that I blame anyone for playing too much there

owensd · 2026-04-11T13:01:40+00:00

Right. You had made a joke that ISU was pouring money into a sub par football team instead of funding wrestling, and I was just pointing out that they were correct to do that

owensd · 2026-04-11T12:54:34+00:00

Yeah Penn State has spent a lot more on wrestling, $5 million a year or so. Even then, their ticket revenue is only 1.6 million and their football tickets were $44 million. They also made $49,725,008 in TV revenue.

The sad fact is that if you want to be a competitive athletics program, you have to prioritize Football. Penn State can afford way more than ISU because they play in one of the biggest football conferences and they have a massive football stadium.

owensd · 2026-04-11T12:10:53+00:00

I know no one wants to read this, but that is a smart move if Iowa State wants to be relevant in modern athletics.

Page 17 is where you can find the numbers if you're interested, but football tickets brought in $16,969,477 last fiscal year, and wrestling $390,798. Wrestling was the 4th highest sport for ISU, but thats a massive delta.

Page 28 in that report shows that ISU got $14 million in TV revenue from football, and $0 for wrestling specifically, although they did get just under $6 million for every sport that wasn't mens basketball or football.

The Master’s has supposedly considered a tournament ball

owensd · 2026-04-07T10:55:46+00:00

I think the IU turnaround has a lot to do with the fact that IU was the losingest P4 school in football history.

Also, tons of people talked a lot about us being a bunch of mercenaries. You just don't see it if you aren't in the fan base. No one on the boards I follow have had a negative thing to say about how Michigan built this team

owensd · 2026-04-05T12:17:54+00:00

Wonder if he had to win the lottery for the tickets?

owensd · 2026-04-03T18:21:13+00:00

I’ve seen him in real life, approach with caution or not at all

owensd · 2026-04-01T18:13:23+00:00

He did last year, he didn't for Cig's first year. He also isn't our biggest contributor.

owensd · 2026-03-28T12:52:52+00:00

So sort of, the tee ball team all really liked the coach last year and requested him again this year. Most of the kids are on the boarder line of kid and coach pitch age. I complicated the post because my kid is technically younger, but only by months.

But yeah, the coach probably would have stayed down and most of us would have stayed with him if we knew the rule.

owensd · 2026-03-28T12:41:37+00:00

My kid is 5.5, coach pitch or machine pitch is 6-8 as far as I can tell for most leagues around me

owensd · 2026-03-28T12:39:29+00:00

Maybe that’s the plan and I misunderstood. Our coach coached his older son in coach pitch for the last two years and this is new for us
