“Injuries decreased significantly”. Um…no they didn’t. Nope.
Saturday in Happy Valley@SaturdayinHV

Matt Campbell just revealed something about Penn State football that nobody is talking about enough. Morning practices. Here's why it matters. In 2021 Campbell went back to afternoon practices at Iowa State after seeing morning practices work during COVID. His exact words this morning: "We slipped academically and we slipped with our production. It was a major mistake on my end." A Power Four head coach publicly admitting a mistake. That alone tells you who this man is. He went back to morning practices. Here's what happened. Team GPA hit 3.4 in the three fall semesters that followed. Injuries decreased significantly. Players got breakfast before practice. Lunch after. Reconnected with coaches at dinner every night. 480 pounds added across the roster in eight weeks this winter. Campbell credited breakfast and dinner accountability directly. Penn State runs morning practices now. The details of how a program operates day to day matter more than any single recruiting class. This is one of those details. We Are. 🦁

@uncensor3dhawks @CycloneObvi05 @KySportsRadio Same could be said for Las Vegas, Hawaii, or the Bahamas. I am not sure what point you’re trying to make, or what else you expect. ISU fans travel where the teams get to play when it’s a big moment.

There are UK fans here but not quite the normal amount for a game like this. They do outnumber Santa Clara fans by a lot but probably won’t end up being as many as Iowa State

Age yourself by naming an MLB catcher you grew up watching. I’ll start: Yadier Molina.

I’ve re-watched this clip probably 73 times. There is nothing Killyan Toure could have done here besides foul Bradley. Cut off the initial drive, beat him to the next spot, heavily contested. Have to tip your cap to Bradley. What a dagger. What a game.

@AfterDarkCF And he didn’t even save the ball. Coach just loved the effort. That was so fun to watch.

TJ Otzelberger has never been more proud of a player than when Killyan Toure just ran the length of the floor to dive for a loose ball while up 20.

@CycloneJerseys @JackTriceMafia I was thinking the same thing. The list seems to favor NFL service a little. Lanning’s college performance and what he meant to the program is huge!

@nwsdj @CycloneJerseys Denver doesn’t have the infrastructure to make it a fan friendly experience. I think Denver would honestly be miserable for the fans.

@CycloneJerseys To be fair, seems like Denver is where it should be. (And I’m an Iowa state grad).

@cytyguy I generally like your takes (other than your Cowboy takes 😉), but this is a miss. Maybe my wife just makes exceptional green bean casserole 🤷🏻‍♂️

@_AlexGookin That’s kind of my outlook on this entire upcoming season. Low floor, but who know how high the ceiling will be 🤷🏻‍♂️

Raynor listed 51st out of 68 P4 QBs and 12th out of 16 Big 12 QBs. Will be interesting to see how high his ceiling is with the brand new offense, but I think it's fair to have the floor pretty low, too.

Loads of preview material to come in March, but let's start with the QBs. I ranked all 68 (likely) power conference starters heading into the spring. This position is in VERY good shape in '26. Guys I'd have guessed might be in the teens were in the 30s. espn.com/college-footba…

@NYCinNC @Kgadi_yaMoloto Yes! I came to the comments to see if anyone said it. The best show that no one talks about. I’ve it through twice, and about to start it again.

I didn't talk about the following stat last night on postgame. Iowa State had 15 offensive rebounds in that game and only got five second chance points. I'm not sure how that is even possible.
