This week in the Group of Five – 11/23/16
Last weekend was pretty stable, as far as the top teams go. Louisville lost to Houston, and is probably now out of playoff contention, but the top 4 stayed the same. It’s more interesting as we go down the rankings though. Utah had a free fall like nobody quite believes they are P5 yet. WVU […]

NFL Week 12 Preview – Thanksgiving Special
Gobble Gobble! Thanksgiving is here! Thanksgiving in our family means spending time together, watching football, and eating a lot of delicious food. It also means my 8-year-old step-son is out of school all week. He’s just learning the in’s and out’s of football and was ready to jump in and write this preview himself. I’ll […]

Iowa vs Nebraska – It’s More than a Football Rivalry
Allow me to set the scene – it’s the day after Thanksgiving and my wife and her female friends and family are up and out of the house long before sunrise, freezing their kit-kats off while schlepping around the chilly Des Moines metro area, standing in long lines and being trampled by and trampling other […]

Thanksgiving Degenerate Board 2016
This will be a Friday thing typically, but it’s Thanksgiving week, so gambling starts a few days early. If you played my bets (please don’t and never take gambling advice from this website) you’re up a few hundo. You’re welcome. If you didn’t play them, congratulations – you’re actually the smart one. Thanksgiving is a time […]

NFL Week 11 Preview
Last week was arguably the best week of the NFL season so far. We actually had some competitive games, entertaining plays, and a lot of weird shit. It was fun, enjoyable, and tweetable. Plus the Seahawks beat the Patriots in New England and the Browns continue on to their perfect losing season, soooooooo I’m a […]

Friday Degenerate Board – 11/18/16
Back when I was in college, a friend of mine won $2,500 on ESPN’s Streak for the Cash. That single event had the precise impact you’d think it would on a bunch of college kids: “Messy won $2,500 playing for free, imagine how much we could win if we actually gamble!” Of course we thought […]

BATTLEDOME: P5 vs. G5 for the College Football Playoff
Editor’s note: This is relatively unedited and copied from a random, impromptu Slack conversation. File any complaints to our complaint department: @jared_leeper on Twitter. @_AJSPECK_: I really don’t know what the best system would be for college football. I actually kind of liked the BCS bowl situation, but the playoffs are fun too, I just […]

This week in the Group of Five – 11/15/16
Welp, the chaos gods got bored after all the excitement early last week, and decided to play in the Top 25 as a bit of a nightcap. Michigan, Clemson, and Washington all lost last weekend, and allowed Ohio State to climb back in the top four of the CFP committee’s rankings. The AP and the […]

Welcome to the World Series. At Wrigley Field.
We have talked before. I’m a Cubs fan. I’m a die hard Cubs fan. I’m obsessive. You think my obsession for UNI was bad, you have no idea. I fell in love with the Cubs when I went to Wrigley Field and saw Andre Dawson hit homers in BP. It was the first “hero” athlete […]

Iowa State Basketball Preview
Last year’s team was perhaps the best on paper basketball team in Iowa State history, and certainly the best since Marcus Fizer and Jamaal Tinsley put on the cardinal and gold. Fred Hoiberg bolting for the Chicago Bulls left that team to be coached by Steve Prohm, who did his best to continue to let […]
