Our 2012 football recruiting party at The Keg Stand in West Des Moines was a smash.
Thank you to the hundreds of you Cyclone Fanatics who turned out. It’s an event that I look forward to every year and I cannot put into words how much we appreciate your support.

I need to thank a few other people before moving onto Iowa State vs. Oklahoma.

HOOPS: My apologies, but I’m just not going to have time to put together an in-depth preview for Iowa State’s road trip to Oklahoma.
Having said that, I’m always good for a prediction.
I like the Clones.
Why? Here’s the deal. Yes, Oklahoma did sweep Kansas State (who Iowa State struggled with at home earlier this week) and yes, I do believe that Lon Kruger is one of the best coaches in all of college basketball. Yes, Oklahoma does have some talent and yes, it is a road trip for Iowa State.
Oklahoma has trouble scoring the basketball though and I just feel like this Iowa State team is feeling it right now. They’re as confident as ever and to Kruger and Co., good luck stopping Royce White.
I’m going with my gut in this one. Iowa State 70, Oklahoma 62
