Iowa State, with no special teams coach, is ranked 123rd in special teams efficiency by FootballOutsiders.com.

The two teams they've lost to are ranked 4th (Iowa) and 6th (Baylor) in the country in this metric.

DanPom and these dudes think they’re funny, but it’s just lazy. They’re overgrown fourth graders.

lol, DanPom has literally been tweeting the same bit for like 6 years with fake KenPom rankings and started doing the Campbell bit as a joke because ISU fans are morons

The Big 12 is fortunate to have a fan base as loyal and supportive as ISU's. It seems we're the only school in the conference that even gets excited enough to rush the field anymore. And none of the Big 12 fan bases travels as well as ISU.

I was there Saturday and I was impressed at the steps we took to ensure the OSU players and staff were able to exit the field unharmed.

Instead of publicly reprimanding ISU, Bob should be thankful for ISU and hoping we don't move to the Big 10 a few years from now.

Wasn't it five years ago that a 10th ranked Oklahoma came into Trice and there was barely 10K there?

Is there anything these guys won’t suck their own dicks over?

They're at a passing moment of vague relevance, and they can't possibly make a bigger deal out of it.

Next year, after they graduate almost the entire team, when 20,000 are showing up in October and November, they'll find a way to make that uniquely compelling as well.

There is nothing worse than the unfunny fourth grade jokes. You can do this shit all day every day if you’re funny. Most people are not funny. And their banter makes them sound like stupid human beings.

He picks the most obviously skewed examples like nobody else can see the slight of hand. He is like a kid practicing magic.
Their "primetime" game with Kansas State drew 600,000 viewers. All Elite Wrestling, the WNBA, and Premiere League all had larger audiences. An NBA preseason game almost did. An if you want the number the target demo numbers they actually care about, it was only 150,000. It was beaten by everything.

what does Brent think he’s accomplishing here? does he think tweeting ratings is some information that conferences and media companies don’t have?
He sincerely believes that only HE is looking at the correct data, and understands it appropriately

They seriously do not know what facilities means. Like so many other things they’ve heard it used against them so they try to throw it out there first as a preemptive strike not realizing how absurd it is.
