Iowa State Football Bashing Thread

[L. Wade Childress]

Add "endowments" to the list of things this idiot doesn't understand.

I don't know the details about the situation in the Pac12 he's referencing, but an endowment is used as an investment. If he gives $2 million to the school and designates it to be used ONLY for the Business School, but no other stipulations, the school can invest that $2 million and use the investment income any way they see fit. The principle can only be used within the School of Business, but all other earned revenues can be used at the University's discretion.

uh, what?

I’m not sure he could’ve been much clearer.

uh, what?

Care to be more precise with your request for clarification?

that was a horribly incorrect example of how endowments work.

So no?

5 wins should be bowl eligible

I love how they are trying so mightily and failing so profoundly to fill the hole in their schedule and hearts. Let’s find a way to make this futility and pain permanent, Gary.

The entirety of college football is afraid of them.

They know the REAL reason...

Deep-state-college-football conspiracy!

 

[cloudhawk]

I'm really surprised that Purdy hasn't opted out already to prepare for the draft

 

[Uff Da]

Guessing Cyclone fans still think Iowa pressured the Big 10 to go conference only since they are afraid of Iowa State.

I like the honesty.

That’s one of the stupidest forms of reporting. “Not saying names, just hearing big names.” Either report something or STFU. Everyone assumes some more guys will opt out.

So, what percent of these kids are just using this as an excuse to not have any type of injury while having a nice fake reason? 95%?

99% and think it is more than injury worries. They would rather relax and have some time off and train instead of play.

Yeah, but these are going to be BIG NAMES, guys!!!!

I think we are about a decade away from football being more of a simulation like the Dynasty mode in NCAA Football EA Sports. There will be players and they will look like football players and work out and be drafted and sign huge contracts, but the society and player expectation is that they don't actually risk CTE or breaking their bodies by playing. They will be scanned into the simulation and the CG model of them will play the virtual games and they will give interviews after the game.

Everything else is too dangerous to risk. Practice is too much of a risk as well.

no

 

[Gushawk]

of course the names will be big - only the biggest names with little else to prove can do it.

 

[Shawneemicks]

At least COVID can’t shut that shit down. Doug is once again ahead of the game.

I'm pretty sure 75% of Online NBA and MLB fans would take this right now.

Iowa State is playing AT UNLV? LOL

I get it’s considered a destination but UNLV doesn’t even average 18k for a home game. Might as well just schedule a home and home with UNI.

They might be in the same conference by then. Shrewd move, Jamie!!!

They’ve done away games with G5 schools for forever. I think they’ve played at UNLV before. They played at Akron a couple years ago and played (and lost) at Toledo when Campbell was there.

They will also have a beautiful new stadium that will be a draw itself.

So that's basically a win for Iowa State.

 

[Hawk4Life94]

Should count as double wins for Matty.

 

[thrawn]

LOL, I was bored and going through their old schedules and this will be the third time at UNLV since 1999.

Their last non-Iowa P5 road game was at Minnesota in 1997. They also played FSU at Arrowhead.

Hopefully Iowa tells them next year’s game is in Iowa City or they can fuck themselves and they end up with 5 home games.

If I remember right, Randy Peterson wrote a puff piece when Campbell was hired saying that Pollard was impressed by Campbell when he beat Iowa State the year before, so he was on his radar.

Based on that standard, Pollard’s list of impressive coaches:

I fucking hate Iowa State but if Iowa scheduled a road game in Las Vegas at the new Raiders stadium, we would all want to be there. You don’t cancel that game.

These games are scheduled years in advance right? So unless it was recently signed, this was signed before they knew about the stadium.

 

[newsbreaker]

Lol at those people greasing their hips and cramming themselves into a new 2B dollar stadium, and then sixteen different shades of red roaming the strip and looking for the best rated chain restaurants.

unfortunately Gary won’t because Jaime is his daddy

Correct.

Plenty of time for Bennigans to build a Hotel and Casino for them to enjoy
