The latest Colonel scares me in a good way.

The app is working like shit tonight. Amazon, I mean.

I’ll pay for my streaming. That’s my $$ contribution. Beyond that, it’s a volunteer tax and I’m just not going to be capitalized.

The Ft. Lauderdale blues.

I just think of the Triple Comma billionaire character from Silicon Valley trying to tell Ferentz what to do.

Drop the pretense and just literally buy-in. But the “3 percent local tax to keep our boys hurtin’ ‘em” is a road we should not.

I remember thinking I was cool for finding Iowa was projecting $50 million in revenue from BTN. I can remember Bowlsby being OK with a lopsided financial deal with Iowa State football. We joked about having a $2 million coach at Iowa. And when we ran out of crawdads, we ate sand.

Sigh, I have three of those. My $250 donations. Got the certificates, but not enough for a brick. I was actually thinking about this for college, the ownership idea.

😂😂😂 Just give us an animated character with a zippy nickname.

Thank you, @hawkeyestate.substack.com, for doing that internet digging and putting numbers to this. I’m such an alarmist with this shit, I admit it. When I hear broadcasters talk up what a school spent on its roster, I’m all Pvt. Hudson. I need to save the rest for what I think are “fangeist” posts.

The only way out of the middleranks is a billionaire alum donor. Honestly, as an investment, I’d be a “no” on college football. I just see more money going out than in. Pat’s piece is the hot breath of “the end” on our necks. I’m not sure I want to have to cheer for solvency.

NEW AT HAWKEYE STATE (FREE):

THE CRASHING TIDE, in which private equity has come to pay for the sins of the Big Ten's past.

The Crashing Tide

If the Big Ten brings in private equity, it's largely because the Big Ten couldn't help itself.

The new-look Iowa men's basketball team didn't get overlooked in the media's annual preseason Big Ten poll. Nor did Hawkeye guard Bennett Stirtz. www.thegazette.com/iowa-basketb...

Iowa men's basketball picked to finish in upper half of Big Ten standings

Ben McCollum's first Hawkeyes team is slotted ahead of Indiana, among others. Iowa guard Bennett Stirtz is a preseason first-team All-Big Ten choice.

I don't think most people understand what we're facing. Not really.

OK, so that’s what it feels like to be the team scheduled for someone’s Cup banner raising. Meep.

No. Well, maybe a little. I mean, shit.

I’m coming in cold. I can’t afford newspaper subs without a paper route.

The road to anti fascism lies in big boy solidarity and if it takes fucked up Chicago food to make it happen then we roll

These guys are so vulnerable to defecting to Chicago

Don’t think these Texas National Guard guys are going to be chasing any immigrants around Chicago on foot

i do think any state governments that have a genuine belief in democracy should probably look into forming some sort of compact now

If the Cubs were still on WGN … I mean if there were still a WGN … If Harry Caray were still alive … I’m not going to learn the new rules. I need collisions in my sports. Every 2 to 6 seconds, please.

That was a low-key nutty game. Another highly entertaining NFL week. I think the “best athletes in the world” thing is working out.

It works! Maybe as a strain name, too.
