Two good season tix for WBB, haven't been to a game this season and may not make one for quite a while. I'd hate for them to sit empty, especially for Iowa. Section 133 Row 14. PM for this and any subsequent games.

Enjoy.

As I wrote on Twitter, I realize that there are a ton of options out there for this but these bowl trips go a LONG way in supporting our free product throughout the year.

Thanks for your consideration! Link here: http://www.ebsportstours.com/teams/iowastate/cyclonefanatic-campingworld/

Enjoy.

Does anyone here live in the Phoenix metro? There were mysterious lights in the sky on Sunday night similar to '97.

I went to the ND boards and they seem pretty upset they have to play us. I know we aren't what they hoped for, but I would hope they would take the time to watch some of our reruns vs teams like Oklahoma,Baylor and Texas. I think we have the ability and coaching to beat this team. any thoughts ?

I found that the Big 12 started 1-4 (ours was the only win in the first 5 games), but I can't find any articles saying how the last 5 games turned out.

Yo.

Anyone use Tile? If so, what do you think? I have some other questions but will wait to see if anyone uses it...

Bummed I can't be in Kansas City this week to enjoy the run to another Championship Game.

I was speaking to a family member who lives in KC, they mentioned there is talk on KU sports talk radio that Bill Self might be done at KU. Speculation he might be headed to Chicago Bulls. I expected to see something on the Big12 forum about this. Any legs to this rumor from fans in KC?

Of course one name KU fans bring up as next coach is Hoiberg.

Will there be a "Beauty and Beast" event this year?

I looked at the 2019/2020 schedule and it is not called out:
https://cyclones.com/sports/wrestling/schedule

Looks like there was one in Jan 2017:
https://www.event.iastate.edu/event/41540

...and this says there it is/was "bi-annual", which would mean 2016/17 and 2018/19, then again in 2020/21. If that is 'policy' then seems like not this year:
https://blog.daktronics.com/2017/02...-and-gymnastics-come-together-under-one-roof/

Seems to me they should do it every year! I've never been but thought the kids would be a good age to enjoy.

I think the answer is no for this year, but thanks in advance if anyone can confirm,

As wrestling fans do you like it (promotion, bigger crowd) or dislike (too much distraction, not serious crowd support)?

Starts with Dallas @ Chicago - I think the Bears' win over Detroit last Thursday was probably fool's gold but we'll see. They're catching the Cowboys in the midst of a slump, so you never know.

Baltimore @ Buffalo - This one could be a sneaky good game. I'm still not totally sold on Josh Allen but the Bills are taking what he offers at QB and making it work. They're only one game back of the Pats with the second game of their head to head series still to be played.

San Fran @ New Orleans - Huge playoff implications here. The Saints have locked up the NFC South but the #1 seed is still very much in play for them and the Niners.

KC @ NE - AFC Championship rematch. I can't believe this game didn't land on Sunday or Monday night. The Chiefs have all but locked up the AFC West. If they can go into Foxboro and beat the Pats it puts them back in the hunt for a top two seed and first round bye, and it potentially knocks the Pats into a tie with the Bills if Buffalo can get the upset W over Baltimore.

SEA @ LA Rams - The Rams are showing signs of life again. Could be a shootout.

NYG @ PHI - Maybe your last chance to see Eli Manning in action. Monday night thriller.

If you haven't already purchased your bowl tickets and don't plan on buying through ISU, please consider purchasing from here:

https://offer.fevo.com/ucf-devos-sp...devos-sport-management-ticket-offer--d19271a/

Background: My daughter is in the graduate MBA/Masters of Sport Business Management program at University of Central Florida (in Orlando). For each ticket purchased through the link, her class gets a cut that goes towards their class trip to New York City to meet with industry professionals to learn and network.

Ticket prices start at $50

Thanks!

Will be interesting to see if anything comes of this.

Kansas State fans are melting down about the Camping World choosing Iowa State

Nevermind, there is another thread

https://slapthesign.com/2019/06/25/notre-dame-football-irish-record-vs-every-big-12-team/

Who are the four current Big 12 teams who have never played Notre Dame? Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.

Of that group, only Oklahoma State surprises me. The other three were never consistently relevant. Now, however, it would be fun to see the Irish square off with Iowa State and Matt Campbell — one of the hottest coaching names in the college game.

Additionally, it’s a little sad that Bill Snyder never got a chance to face the Fighting Irish.

ESPNU I think, for those who missed the game or want to watch it again.

Alright this is for ISU bowl game destination predictions.

Give me your predictions! (You don't have to go full Big 12 but I thought I would.)

I see 7 bowl eligible teams from the Big 12. WVU, Tech and Kansas will not go bowling. TCU will get two more wins and become bowl eligible by beating Tech and WVU.

OU: in the Sugar Bowl (12-1)
Baylor: in Alamo Bowl (10-3)
Texas: Camping World Bowl (8-4)
Iowa State: Academy Sports Outdoors Texas Bowl (7-5)
KState: Liberty Bowl (8-4)
Okie St Cheeze It Bowl (8-4)
TCU First Responders Bowl (6-6)

This will shake out differently if there is some sort of chaos and OU makes it to the playoff. I'd wager that ISU, barring some sort of meltdown, will be in Camping World Bowl or Academy Sports Outdoors Texas Bowl.

I didn't see this anywhere, apologies if posted.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/9/...ii-sentenced-14-years-domain-name-state-snaps

A social media influencer has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for concocting a scheme to violently coerce a stranger into giving up a web domain name, the US Department of Justice announced today.

The influencer, Rossi Lorathio Adams II, went by the name “Polo,” and he ran a series of accounts across Instagram and other platforms known as State Snaps while attending college at Iowa State University. The accounts, which Adams began operating around 2015, typically involved depictions of risky or sexually explicit behavior, often featuring college girls. According to The Washington Post, one account Adams ran on Instagram had amassed 1.5 million followers.

Adams, however, became increasingly frustrated that he did not own doitforstate.com, a reference to a popular hashtag (“#DoItForState”) on social media the influencer often used in comments and captions to invoke the type of behavior he would later post about to millions of fans online. The domain name carrying Adams’ slogan was in fact owned by a Cedar Rapids individual, Ethan Deyo, with whom Adams had no prior affiliation.
