Do we know what early season tournament in which the men will play next November?

Looking to cancel my monthly ESPN+ subscription to save a little money and get rid of that incredibly annoying alert that keeps blasting out loud on my phone. I'm assuming we don't need to worry about any more of our remaining basketball games being televised on ESPN+.

Saw an article on a KSU web site that claims Weber will be fired after the big 12 tourney. I realize that they are not having a great year, but besides the theatrics I always thought Weber was a good coach.

I went back and forth on starting this thread, but figured I should since there are enough soccer fans here at CF.

As if the world wasn’t already messed up enough as is, there was a huge brawl between the opposing fans this Saturday in a match between Querétaro and Atlas (Mexican league). Official reports are saying 20 something people injured and a handful in critical condition. On social media there are rumors of double digit deaths as a result of this atrocity. After watching some of the videos, I’d be surprised if there are no casualties.

Hope the Mexican federation and FIFA give out some serious punishment to the clubs, especially the home team. Needless to say, but also hope the local authorities arrest as many of the people involved as possible.

It’s corny and sounds forced and seems to deflate the crowd afterwards.

However, love the kill kill kill chant. I hope it carries over to football on 3rd downs.

Happened just before 3 pm, three kids shot and in critical condition. Shooting occurred outside the building but on school grounds.

With awards coming out this week thought we could have thread on it. I'm not a huge awards tracker and don't freak if we don't get some but this year we have more notable candidates than usual.

Pre-season picks had Joens and Donarski as All-Big 12 and Ryan Honorable Mention. Post-season has 1st team (10 players), 2nd Team (five players) and Honorable Mention. Joens is going to be a unanimous pick but Ryan is a lock also (11th in scoring and 1st in assists by a mile). So, probably all three in on first team. Don't think Cyclones have a 2nd team candidate and just not sure about Honorable mention. Aubrey Joens looked like she had a shot fo that half way through he season but didn't sustain that play.

POY is likely Baylor's Smith. Shame to have three players averaging almost a double/double (Smith and Lee did and Joens almost did). Smith/Lee/Joens all 1-2-3 in scoring and rebounding. Shame to have to pick one and pass over the other two but Smith gets the nod. Smith was the pre-season pick and answered the bell expectation-wise.

COY will be interesting. It's between Fennelly and Jenny B. Collen won the conference but she was picked to do that so did what she was supposed to do and I think that bumps her out along with the "it was Mulkey's team". Considering other coaches success in conference bumping Collen is 100% justifiable. Sort of a dead heat between Fennelly and Barancyk. Both finished where they were picked. Barancyk did do more with Sherri's players than Sherri's did so she has that going but that seems to have been predicted in the preseason poll. Voted by coaches and not so sure our coaches is loved by some of them. No feel for how hey feel about newcomer Jenny. Not sure "nominated but not won before" like movie awards plays into coaches thinking on voting, maybe but lots of newer coaches in the league. Grabbing a piece of the title would have iced it for either one of them.

Last year was my first year buying season tickets so I will be renewing for the first time this year. I just looked at my invoice and I noticed there are two options, one is to renew just the donation at this time, the other is to renew both the donation and season ticket purchase at this time. I have a couple questions about this that someone may be able to answer.

1: If I select the option to renew just the donation right now, will I still get the email to login and purchase priority tickets as I would have last year or am I basically saying I don't want season tickets by selecting this option?

2: Regarding the option to renew both the donation and season tickets, I noticed my specific seats from last year are listed on this option. If I select this option am I locking myself into these seats again for next year or will I still have the option to login once tickets are on sale to look for new seats?

Thanks in advance for your help!

All the coaches spoke about Carr's accomplishments but most importantly highlighted just how much he cares about his team. The way he's become almost an extra coach in the room.


Enjoy!

This has been talked about in multiple threads but let's try to put it in one to keep it straight and figure out just exactly how much money we can raise for Cyclone Regional Training Center!

$25 per NCAA win for Jarrett

Who's in?

Here's a small clip from my conversation with Coleman

The howks just ducked two matches in the finals of the Big10s. The big10 can’t be happy about this. 8 of the 10 matches took place but their biggest star didn’t get to wrestle. Is the NCAA their own worst enemy on this? Currently there are no repercussions for MFFs leading into nationals. 4 of Iowas 10 guys forfeited out of the tournament. Is it time the seeding committee takes a stand? Do they have power to make it happen without first having structured rules around it? What a terrible black eye for the sport. Funny thing is, the guy heading this is the tough guy always pointing and yelling and flexing. Desperation at its finest, trying anything possible to beat penn state at nationals.

Got to thinking today… I’ve been doing the Twister Sister Summary for over twenty years now, it originated on another site that will not be named. I have no idea where the term "Twister Sister" originated. Anyone have any insights?

Setting the tone for a busy week. Enjoy.

If this is 1999 Breece is assured of a top 5 pick in the First Round. Alas, it is 2022 and RBs are devalued.

I know most here are biased, but with his workout AND his tape I cannot see where his is not the RB with the best chance to go in the first round. To me it is not even close.

If you were guaranteed that he would go in the first round, which team would you put your money on? I see a few teams that are a stud RB away from being the best version of themself in 2022.

How would that change if you wanted Breece to play for your favorite NFL team?

On Wednesday, I posted with all session tickets and had no one reach out. Unfortunately, due to health issues my wife and can't go this year - haven't missed one except last year since 2010. I am willing to split out the Iowa State session (session 3 on Thursday) to ensure that Cyclone fans fill the lower bowl. I have 2 tickets in section 122 Row 26 that I can transfer electronically. Cost with fees was $65 / I will sell the pair for $100. Text me at 614-832-8469.

The NFL lists Breece's 40 time at the combine as 4.39. Why do people keep posting that it is a 4.4? What is the reasoning behind skipping events at the combine? For instance, Enyi, Rose, Kolar, and Allen did not run the 40.
