More money openly injected in the sport means less patience.

I think Indiana broke things. Patience, F patience. The worst team in CFB history won a NC inside of two years. Indiana. Now that has become the standard.

What was that? Horrible
This is an injustice. And I'm a Cubs fan that just got crushed by these Padres.
What bullshite.

Padres screwed. Yeah, I know the ground rules but holy crap. He crushed that ball.
LR went from feeling good to his butthole puckering up within one second when that pass hit.
Rumbling, bumbling, stumbling
TD USC. Always fun to see a big man score.
Not surprised. They're all at the USC game.
TD USC. Let's put those walking papers on hold for a minute.
Wow, what a thread.

OSU embraced The Wave and were vocal in their support. Went a step further and sent the kids a gesture of support. Very good of them to do that.

Maybe we should just say thank you and be positive about things for a change.
Lol. If you live up here and are a college football fan it's hard to not know what goes on at both the Iowa and ISU programs. It's common knowledge MC was frustrated with the AD and lack of resources for football. Planned facilities upgrades have been halted. NIL is weak. ISU is struggling to keep up in this new CFB world.
Got rid of the Uggs and that second kick wasn't bad.
Jeez, I thought the old Rinaldi stories on Gameday were rough. This story on The Wave and Iowa Children's Hospital is kinda gut punching. Any story about kids is a tear jerker.
Oops, maybe not. Idaho is 0-4 and MSU is #1, and in a dogfight late.
I like 12. I think Miami's run last year proved that a team in the 10-12 range is good enough to win it all. I could be on board with 16, first round home games. 24 is a bridge too far.

My alma mater is in the FCS, and the late season run to the playoffs keeps those games important. It's 24 teams with top 8 getting a bye.

Last year South Dakota was in that first round "play in" game as an 11 seed and had to beat a fellow Valley team at home. Then went on the road to Mercer, a top 8 seed team that had a bye, absolutely crushed them, 47-0. Eventually lost at Montana in the quarters. The seeding in the FCS is screwy, more "fair" to conferences that stink, the only teams that matter in the division are in the Valley or Big Sky.

An FBS playoff wouldn't do that, equal access. 16 is the limit IMO, but really think 12 is the sweet spot. You got to be pretty good to get in, could go on a run.

I'm also somebody who thinks Notre Dame, getting left out, would have done some real damage in that playoff. But they lost early and got left out. Paid a price for not getting it done in the regular season. 12 is the sweet spot. Regular season still matters, but anybody in that top 12 can do damage in this modern era.
I see Montana State woke up.

I think they're pretty solid.
They worshipped the ground he walked on at ISU. I guess he had issues with the AD and resources towards the football program. Iowa State Athletics is struggling for funding. I can see why he would want to go where he has more resources.

The guy is a good coach. He'll get things going there, but I think his ceiling is lower than the expectations at PSU.
