IRS finally accepted call. 45 minutes on hold after being told 7-10 minute hold expected. Agent picks up the phone and immediately informs me that the IRS systems are currently down and that only general questions can be answered. The federal government is a complete shit show.

Des Moines, IA. 3 hours from KC, 4 hours from Minneapolis , 2 hours from Omaha, 6 hours to Chicago. The Midwest Mecca.

@BruceFeldmanCFB They gave Iowa and Iowa State players the death blow even though they didn’t bet on their own team. Wouldn’t surprise me they let this guy play. Cuz NCAA is going to NCAA
English
Never mind the massive headache this would cause for the NCAA if somehow Sorsby’s gambling (which includes betting on games his team was involved in) gets a pass, but how does the Big 12 support this move with all the problems this would create for every coach of every sport in its own conference?

New Audible: @ralphDrussoATH is back! We discuss how the 24-team playoff has gone from a whisper to a roar. Does the math work? Then, Brendan Sorsby files a suit that @slmandel & I aren’t buying; and we look ahead to Week 1 games! youtube.com/watch?v=JIxIFA…

@kjohnmiller @cyclonefanatic Would they lose a couple? Probably but my guess is they’d also send an invite out to others like Notre Dame, UNC, Clemson, FSU, Texas Tech etc.

@KyleVT11 @cyclonefanatic You think they'd keep the likes of Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, Northwestern, ect if they split to do their own thing?

Jamie Pollard expresses his frustration with the Big Ten and SEC for not adhering to the rules of the College Sports Commission. He adds he would be okay with the two conferences splitting from the NCAA.
"The four commissioners spent a lot of money creating the CSC. Then to have two of the conferences not want to adhere to it is perplexing to me, because then, why did we spend the money? If you didn't want rules, then why did you create this entity? That's what's frustrating to me, the same people that say they want rules only want rules if they don't apply to them... I said it three years ago, let em break away. I would turn it around and say we should break away from them. Let them go, but they have to go in all their sports and see how fun it is to play baseball and softball and track when it's just the 20 of you. That's what I think we should do, but I'm one person, and you know that's probably a little more draconian, but that's how I feel about it. Let's quit talking about it, quit threatening, go do it. But if you're going to do it, you don't get to just do it in football and then keep all your other sports with us. No, take them all, see how fun it is."

Interesting quote from Iowa State's Jamie Pollard about the SEC and Big Ten: "I said it three years ago, let 'em break away. I would turn it around and say we should break away from them."

@ScottDochterman What’s the first elementary school you attended and your 1st grade Teachers last name? 😂

Silly me. I forgot to add that I graduated college in Illinois, bought my first house in Missouri, both of my kids graduated college in Minneapolis, my son works for the DoD in Germany, the last campus I visited was in Ames and I’m on location working in LA today.

@Tacky3663_ @Schultz_Report Trap game??? It’s freaking week 1. How is that a trap game?
English
@Schultz_Report Here’s the thing, This feels like a trap game to me. I expect Carolina to be better than they were last year and we may have some early season jitters. Im not putting this in as a for sure win here
English
Sources: The #Panthers will host the #Bears in Week 1, as a pair of former #1 overall picks in Caleb Williams and Bryce Young face-off.
Both Carolina and Chicago won their divisions last year. 🏈
Jordan Schultz@Schultz_Report
Sources: The #Seahawks will open the 2026 season at home with a Super Bowl rematch against the #Patriots. So, the 2026 NFL season will begin with the two teams that ended last season. 🔥🔥

HBO has a repertoire of A+ shows (The Wire, Sopranos, Curb, Thrones, Band of Brothers), but none better than Chernobyl. A masterpiece of storytelling, acting, casting, cinematography, and directing.

@Hassel_Chris I don’t see them doing a gold out vs Ohio State again since they got beat in 2006 doing that. Hard to do one later in the season when it gets colder.

Like, this is literally not true. Iowa women's basketball tickets have still been sold out since Clark left. Iowa was one of the most watched teams in the nation this past year.
I don't understand why people on here just straight up lie when they know we have the internet.

I loved Diana Taurasi so much that I stayed loyal to UConn for an extra 21 years after she left. I feel like UConn is UConn today because of Diana. And because people like me helped MAKE them that. I'm not seeing that same effect with Caitlin. It's like all the Hawkeyes became Fever and forgot what a Hawkeye is. Does it take time? Or are a lot of y'all not really basketball fans? I guess that's the difference with me. It was easy to stick around in college even though my GOAT was in the WNBA...because I loved basketball. I guess time will tell.
