After years of demanding loyalty we find out you were flirting with Rogers for years.

We need an AD, not a flailing commercial property landlord.

You flirted with a person whose name you can't spell correctly.

Every coach you hire ends up disliking you because you want to be a track school and ignore what is important.

We said goodbye to Cael and his cauliflower ears, yet we never saw Chris Williams tears.

We look West and we see Mayor Fred, because you wouldn't get them an extra night in a hotel bed.

As NLP once said, "You made Chris Williams cry, when you let our football program die"

Pollard....you are the weakest link!

I hope its not lost in all of this is the amazing work Campbells assistants have done over the years.

Heacock is a ******* legend, best assistant we've ever had by a mile.

Rasheed always did a good job with the D-line

Poteat was a miracle worker with the corners

Broomfield a stud with the safeties and going to be a star in the coaching world

Clanton gave us what we all were clamoring for, a good oline

Pauley seemed to be a great developer with WR's

I know I'm missing some, but these guys deserve as much kudos as Campbell.

I saw this a few days ago and was wondering if it was Matt Campbell's house and maybe he was taking a new job. The movie theater is full of ISU stuff. Maybe the house belongs to an ISU fan. Anyone know? I'm just curious.

@ChrisMWilliams :

Thank you for modeling how to show the kind of honest emotion all good and decent people feel when they face a loss.

Men in general need to be shown more of this.

You are assuredly not a loser.

Hello all - mostly a lurker, but I lived in Ames for 5-6 years and now am back in Indiana.

I have a Purdue degree, wife has an Iowa State degree.

If you guys have any questions on Purdue, especially if you are heading in for the game, please let me know!

The biggest question, and best advice I can give is regarding parking:

Do not pay to park. There is ample parking in the neighborhood that is just NE of West Lafayette high school. If you arrive to the game 30+ minutes prior, there will be plenty if you do not mind a 10 minute walk. Can post a diagram of best spots to look for parking if needed.

Welcome to West Lafayette!

Thanks for giving us some good years and big wins.

Thanks for preaching loyalty and trusting the process.

Thanks for selling us on the journey.

Thanks for selling us that you were loyal.

Thanks for selling us hope of climbing to the top.

Thanks for being just like all the other coaches.

You don’t give a **** about the fans, the community or the players.

You really do just care about a paycheck.

You are going to a school that should’ve been demolished for the worst scandal in the history of college football.

You are going to a school that that you were at least their 5th option.

You are going to make a lot of money. You might even make a lot of money, but you’ve sold your soul for something you have told us you aren’t.

I hope you lose every game you play, even against the hawks.

I hope you swim in your cash and drown in the expectations of Happy Valley because they don’t care about anything other than winning football games.

They didn’t care about a pervert hurting children for years.

You had a good thing here.

We will be fine.

You’ll be fine, but you are not the person you said you were, and I feel stupid for falling for your schtick.

I hope you fail. I hope for nothing good to happen to you in the football world.

At least the slimeballs like Kiffin are honest on being a *****.

Man, I thought you were different Matthew, but tonight proves I was fooled.

Good Riddance and **** you.

If the writing on the wall ends up true, good for you Matt. Enjoy your fat $.

Taking your staff? To be expected. Next guy in will want his dudes also.

But I swear to god, if you rape our team and our program, everything you have ever said and wanted us to believe about your character and integrity will be *******. You will be a POS.

With Campbell leaving this late in the cycle, I think we have to accept the fact that we are going to be the worst football team in the power conferences for the next 2-3 years. Honestly, from a strategic POV, unless we can get Harry Stine on board, we should just allocate the minimum of the $20 mil necessary to simply field a football team and go all in on MBB, WBB, and Wrestling. **** Volleyball as well. We could actually win a natty in those sports at some time in the next 50 years. Football that would simply be impossible.

Once our fan and more importantly donor base accepts this, we can actually move forward as an athletic department that can still generate significant fan and donor interest. Because pumping money into what can only be a failing enterprise is just bad management and is a bad long-term decision for the health of the Athletics department.

...they just fired an accomplished coach. He coaches here for as long as he wants to. This needs to be resolved soon so we can move on to our own coaching search.

If a coaching change is indeed about to happen, do we end up declining a bowl, like KSU? Might depend upon if there is loss of players to the transfer portal.

Matt Campbell and Penn State are in the final stages of contract negotiations, per ESPN. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2025/12/breaking-matt-campbell-penn-state-in-final-stages/

Not official, but enough breaking that it looks imminent.

Who should ISU go after? Who’s on Jamie’s short list?

Need to pivot from the CMC >>> Penitentiary State University drama...

After watching Iowa Everywhere podcast with CW and Keith Murphy, I went down a rabbit hole after CW mentioned cyclones.tv or byu.tv as a resource...and who would want to meet Dustin Hogue in a dark alley at night comment...

Started watching some old 2014/2015 games which led me to Dustin Hogue's dunk at the end of the 2014 game against KU...Dude just murdered the rim...

Next I found the Chris Babb dunk against Oklahoma State which was jaw-dropping...

Who can forget a couple of years later Abdel 'Darth' Nader's dunk against Oklahoma State...

Last memorable one, and IMHO, the BEST - Deonte 'Timberland' Burton against WVU in Hilton South...

What are your most memorable dunks (not dunkers)?

Hey fanatics. Get ready for tomorrow's top 10 showdown in West Layfette, Indiana between No. 10 Iowa State and No. 1 Purdue. Get to know the Boilermakers and more with my preview below.

Yandro Soto-Rivera​

Ames, Jr.

Following in the footsteps of former state champions and current Iowa State wrestlers Daniel Herrera and Christian Castillo, Soto-Rivera gives the Ames wrestling program another dynamic transfer capable of doing damage at state in 2025-26.

Soto-Rivera is an experienced freestyle wrestler who comes to Ames from Puerto Rico. He will begin the season wrestling at 144, and he has the potential to not only reach state, but do damage once he gets there.

Is there a song that, every time you hear it, makes you want to stick sharp objects in your eardrum?

Yesterday, December 4th saw a few upsets.

The early season loss to UNI doesn’t look as bad, with UNI winning yesterday to face Creighton on Saturday.

The Cyclones face the Tommies at 4:30 (I will be watching and rooting from home).

The Tommies will be motivated being the first team from the college to be in any NCAA Division 1 postseason. The team boasts 9 seniors. They have a 21-9 record.

Height wise, the two teams match up closely. The tallest player on the Tommies is a 6’4” MB. The team stats show the same 7 ladies have been the same rotation all year with 1 somewhat regular 8th player. Again, just basing on stats it looks to be a 5-1 being run by the Tommies. They are hitting .248 for the season while holding opponents to a .173 hitting. They do not appear to be a super strong blocking team and give up more blocks. The team also has more service errors and aces then the Cyclones.

Hopefully the Cyclones can walk away in 3 and then scout the Gophers.

1st team: none

2nd team: Hanson/Brahmer/Flora

3rd team: Miller/Orange/Neal

Honorable mention: Sama/Eskildsen/Sowell/Bonifas/Buhr/Bacon/Konrardy/Perkins

I feel like a few of our guys deserved better, especially Orange

I have tried with getting traditional HVAC companies to work on htese, but they don't want to because of the liabilities assocciated with ventless heaters. I can understand, but who the heck works on them in the Ames area?

Edit: and if they don't charge outragious service fees, that would be great! I hate having to pay someone $130.00 to spend 15 minutes dignosing the issue.

This week's Big 12 Championship has massive stakes for the conference. Is it going to be one or two teams in?

Either way, Derek Duke isn't happy with how BYU has been treated by the College Football Playoff committee. Read his whole column in this week's Big 12 Buzz. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2025/12/big-12-buzz-a-championship-preview-byu-screwed/

Here is the Line-up:





Also looks like it will probably be "Lubbock East" at Jerry World on Saturday. Although I'm sure BYU will have a good amount of fans there as well.
