I posted on the CF forums... but i think it's time to look at our S&C staff... injuries the last 2 years have been plentiful and brutal.

Not that I want to switch into Bball mode yet... but the Lipsey injury, how long do you keep him out for?

1. 11/3 - play him right away
2. 11/10 - Miss St. (8 seed last year) - need him here?
3. 11/24 - Thanksgiving Tournament

(My vote is for option 2 above)

Iowa State has better wins than Texas and Penn State and only a single loss on the road at a 4-1 Cincinnati team. Make it make sense.

Can I fire the Pohlads? I'm genuinely not sure i will go to any Twins games next year.

Walt_CyKC @waltcykc.bsky.social · 15d

But I just overseeded...

What if there had been a flag on the play... #VA vs. #FSU

Nothing makes them different any more. Might as well fly delta or united... at least then I have a shot at a screen in the seat.

#Cyclones Volleyball wins at Illinois to go 10-1!

I'm not convinced them highlighting the SEC is actually beneficial for them financially. Only drives their price point up... which will hurt them in 6 years

Walt_CyKC @waltcykc.bsky.social · 22d

Big Noon has won me over from College Gameday I think. They just do a better job of covering the local team, and giving broad reach rather than just highlighting the SEC.

Just watched Ballerina and I think the John Wick series may be slowly becoming one of my favorite "universes".

Real question is with how "bad" McCarthy has looked for 7 of the 8 quarters... if Wentz is lights out, how do you go back?

In general (assuming AZ St holds on) a good weekend for the big 12.

1. Every team that could win, did
2. In cases where they were playing each other the undefeated team won
3. ACC took some blows (Clemson, Duke, VT)
4. ND lost... possibly freeing up a playoff spot (they have 0 ranked games left)

This is what it looks and sounds like when an ACC ref talks over a replay review with the ACC Game Day Operations Center. 🏈🦓📺🎙️ #CFB

The Twins are terrible and it's all because of the owners.

Pure speculation on my part, but this AI surge, feels a lot like it could hit like the dot com bubble did. Oracles jump of $100/share in less than 5 days is absurd.

Just looked at the boxscore for KSU vs. Army. From 11:05 left in the 3rd Q, KSU Defense was on the field until 2:52 left in the 4th, outside of 2 kickoffs. 1 KSU returned for a TD, the other Army got an on-side kick. 23 minutes 13 seconds of consecutive game time that their D was on the field.

Big Noon in Ames has looked much better than when Gameday was there already. They've highlighted Iowa State better... and we're only 20 mins in. #BlueCy

An under-rated benefit of hearing aides... I always have headphones in.

The first half wasn't, but it was also raining, and most people can recognize that. The 2nd half was far better and cleaned up from a sloppiness standpoint. Articles I have seen on ESPN haven't been "negative" in that sense. More talking about Becht and how the coaches trusted him.
