You better hope Dax doesn't catch you trying to A&M your athletic budget numbers with one time giving towards a football stadium.
I just wanted to stop and say I thought the use of A&M as a verb was perfect here.

This super league model makes the most sense to save the sport, which is exactly why it won't happen. They also should not call it a super league, it's absolutely not that.

you know nothing like this is ever going to happen when schools won't even schedule meetings to talk casually about it out of fear of upsetting the mickey mouse company. 

How do people charged with ensuring the best interest of student athletes even say that out loud without a moment self-reflection?  one wonders.

also, imagine the futures bets you could place on who is going to drop out of the g5 conference each season and who is going to rise.   Whole other lane of bets to make.

I'm not yet at the point of too much of a good thing yet when it comes to the NCAA tournament.  The reasons he gives are silly and speak to not wanting to change something that might need to be changed, only because it's comfortable. The tournament hasn't grown at the same rate of the sport and stunting that growth only because we're used to a 64 team bracket, is really dumb.

The problem for me isn't an expanded tournament, it's that they're going to expand the tournament while minimizing the involvement of the non power conferences. The expansion will come with something stupid like a play in tournament comprised solely of 1 bid conferences, played on home courts to minimize costs.

Which reducing the smaller schools will ruin what makes the tourney special. It's the lil guy toppling Goliath, not a bunch of meh teams from large conferences is why people (ultimately) watch the tourny. People want FAUs, Loyola's,  Butler's, George Masons, UMBCs, and Farleigh Dickersons of these world to come in and make it the beautiful mess it is

Everyone agrees on what makes it special.  However, if the power 4 (for example) decided they wanted to exclude the smaller schools, they could potentially still make more money even if the overall tournament suffered greatly. So far, those conferences have proven they are very willing to make those sorts of decisions (e.g. damage the whole in order to profit maximize at an individual level).

I would add that these decisions aren't just "selfish", they are short-sighted.  As college sports continue their spiral and viewership declines, the smartest guys in the room will be fighting for an increasing share of a shrinking pie.

Pacheco not getting into the endzone cost this better dearly.  Real bad. 

But no matter . . . we've been here before.  You have to have some lows to really appreciate the highs AMIRITE?  AMIRITE?

Soaking will never not be funny to me.

nor should it.

I'm kinda horned up at the possibility of watching KU at Sporting Park (or w/e it's called). That seems like a fun venue for watching football.
it would be most similar to your new design at the booth and I agree that it would be a great venue.  i’ll probably go to one of the unlv game

I smell a potential PAK opportunity brewing ...

If you threaten me with a good time I will call you on it.

I picture clams and stone fully playing the part as the most obnoxious hox fans in the park. scarfs, soccer chants and all. really doing it big. the type that would make even a rob riggle blush

It's quite beautiful when you really picture it.

I took Mahomes anytime TD the last two weeks, turns out he has to run it in for that to count.

The key when realizing something like this is to convince yourself you would have made the bet anyway had you known, because "it still made sense".  Only then will you take the next step on this journey.

I feel like some of you are just gEing about ku playing at the bill but their fans are seriously debating it on the phog. Did the ad do a little "damage control" leak to get the hawk fanatics used to the idea?

I’m not gE’n. I know it’s really unlikely, but it really would be sweet. I mean, we could prob charge them a lot of $$$, and it could be worked out logistically.

Would also be great for Manhattan businesses.

Would be a total big bro move as well.
it honestly makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons, and is probably why it won't happen.

They should probably hire someone that they fully expect to fire within 3 years and just get the "can't follow Saban" thing over with as quickly and as cheaply as possible.

The ole "don't be the guy that replaces a legend, be the guy that replaces the guy that replaced a legend".

Don't be Ron Prince replacing LHC Bill Snyder, be LHC Bill Snyder replacing Ron Prince . .  replacing LHC Bill Snyder.  Or something.  I don't remember how the transitive property works exactly but you get the idea.

Screw it, we're going 15-0.

So we're going to lose in the final?

WOULD TAKE

That would hurt really badly. Also the way I consume info would be inundated with some K-State fans whining about the KITN, others complaining about how we got screwed no matter what the scoring margin would be, and others fighting with "no natties" KU and Iowa State fans.
I've started muting the arguers on both sides but mostly other fan bases. I really don't care about them. Just let me enjoy my Cats.

There are so many KU low follower accounts who do nothing but reply to K-State tweets, I've blocked probably a hundred of them since the week of our game with them. They weirdly got more numerous and aggressive since they lost.
agreed.  became just a bit more aggressive and vitriolic after the sunflower showdown presented by Dillons.  I've muted a number.

Selling nuclear secrets for a coaching buyout - its the Cult Aggie way. 

https://x.com/ISGAP1/status/1742948482699214913?s=20

Summary - Texas a&m sold national security secrets to Qatar to buy shiny new boots for their fake army.

(My apologies in that I still have no concept of how to post tweets here)

I will just say that generally speaking I've been pleased with how Coach K has managed his staff in his tenure here, and by and large I'll trust him until proven otherwise.  In the event that I stop trusting him, I trust that the AD will seek my counsel.

If Jayce had 2 more yds then everywhere you saw Carl and Mary Ice those names would be replaced with bananaeater:(
I was going to show all the haters with the bananaeater lazy river presented by draftkings, but jayce couldnt find two more yards.  The +296 bet hit though, so we're still eating red lobster tonight like real ballers.

really felt good about that +1000 parlay.  so close.
LSBIQ over here but did I read all of that correctly that every other part of that parlay hit?
yessir.  first parlay paid, second missed by two reception yards for our man jayce.  Being said, that win put such a smile on my face the moving guys repossessing my furniture thought I had lost my mind.

Is Dickey still at OSU?  always liked that guy

What about just taking KSU and having us win by a field goal or more?  Too old fashioned?  :dunno:

If you're interested in making small amounts of money then go right ahead.  We're trying to change lives here.

Just googled and learned what a pineapple emoji means.

Shoot me a DM if you're interested in a hang.  Bring a friend.

Well fellas, this is it.  The last chance for fat stacks off our Cats until next season.  The last chance to make it all right, and prove once and for all your wife / husband didn't make the biggest mistake of their life.  Draftkings isn't wanting to give us a lot of bet options for this game.  Makes sense.  This isn't even a remotely fair matchup, and what are you going to set Avery Johnson 3+ anytime TD odds at anyways?  -400?  So, we'll do what we can and figure out how to get ours.

First bet for me is a nice little +264 Parlay:

THE Kansas State University Wildcats -6.5 alternate spread + Avery Johnson over 54.5 rushing.  If you're betting  $25 or less you can throw on a profit boost and take that up to +396.  That pays you just under $100, which is a nice appetizer to the main course.

Next up is the championship parlay.  This is a +1000 parlay that takes your money, makes 10 more copies of it, and gives it back to you.  You can not get that from saving, investing, etc.   

-Kansas State -8 alternate spread
-Cats 2.5+ TDs
-Cats Spread 1st half
-Cats Spread 2nd Half
-Cats First Half Points 12.5+
-Jayce Brown Receiving 53.5+
-DJamer Giddens 110+ Rushing

 :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu:

If you assume your warmup bet is going to hit, go ahead and pre-bet that $100 here and make yourself a grand.  Its good for it. 

Couple hours to go, how are my fellow degenerates going to make money off this game?  hot tips only please.

we don't deserve him but i'm so glad he chose us anyway

This is very wrong; good people deserve good things!  :ksu:

Several posters on this board are complete trash and deserve - and pardon my French - but they deserve a lump of coal in their stockings

I understand the passion, but maybe walk away from the keyboard for a bit and cool off.

What're we setting the K-State O/U at for the bowl game?
2.5 Avery anytime TDs
let it be written

Kansas State Football / Re: NDSU SOUTH stay away from our Recruits!
« on: December 13, 2023, 11:23:03 PM »
up here in BisoNation we are getting sick of that fatty Hank Jacobs and lil dork taylor braet stealing NDSU recruits!!!
thought K State was so big bad and tough, yet year 5 and you're still taking NDSU recruits and commits.


You are NDSU SOUTH and you always be NDSU SOUTH!!   

why haven't you scheduled us since 2013?   Oh yea,  we know why
buddy, if we could recruit better than having to steal recruits from NDSU NORTH, everyone here would love to, trust me.

it sucks losing players to any school, at least you’re losing them to your bros at NDSU SOUTH. 

NDSU NORTH and NDSU SOUTH might not be blue bloods, but we are blood brothers.

Blood brothers…maybe. Eskimo brothers…absolutely not. 0/10 interest in those pelts

Can you imagine?
