Great game, and the The Cyclones were definitely the better team tonight, and victory was well earned. Good luck the rest of the season, and see you next year!

I think I saw ISU's punter with a 3-step kick. Did I not see it correctly? If so, that is a big part of the reason for the blocks. Gives the rushers more time in which to cover less distance. Have to fix that.

I’m going with Reeder narrowly over Hutchinson and Brock being third. Defense clamped down when they needed to, but Reeder was a stud from the first snap.

21 plays, 99 yards after a forced fumble, nearly 12 minutes, 5 third down conversions

That was a thing of beauty; deserves it's own thread.

Victory

Seemed pretty bad.

Don't really understand picking up the PI flag vs. Hutchinson? Didn't look like we were offsides? Iowa OL holding?

Luckily we won the game anyway, but not sure what was going on there at the end.

I don't recall ever seeing a QB that couldn't at least complete an easy out route. We've seen times where statistically QB's have been that bad, but often that's because he doesn't have players around him to get open. The Iowa receivers' had space. Petras just couldn't get the ball to them.

Is it just the yips or has he always been that bad?

Probably old news to most, but I just saw it during the game. That’s disappointing, Gary.

I used to. I just can't anymore. They are insufferable.

Can watch upcoming Conference member Central Florida tonight on ESPN 2 take on Louisville.

Also bad news for BYU tomorrow vs. Baylor:

Not looking good weather-wise for the passing game. Still,go for it.

I'm mainly asking for bicyclists' opinions. Here is the situation:

Car is traveling north on a two lane street with bike lane markings on the right edge of the street (I'd call it more of a bike route marking than a dedicated bike lane). A small group of bicyclists is also traveling north on the sidewalk at a reasonable rate of speed, but slower than vehicles. The car goes past the bicycles and needs to make a right hand turn into a parking lot of a grocery store. The car will get to the entrance/crosswalk first, but the bicyclists would likely need to slow down (yield to the car). Who has the right of way, should the car stop on the road and wait for the bikes to pass or should the bicyclists slow down to yield when they see the car's turn signal from behind?

(For anyone wondering I was an observer of the above situation while outside the grocery store. The car started to turn, but then stopped just prior to the crosswalk when the saw the bicyclists still approaching at the same rate of speed. The bicyclists then stopped and everyone was aggrieved.)

Does anyone know if they still have sales where they sell old helmets and such? I know ISU has a surplus store but I dont think their are athletic stuff there. Not sure who I contact. if its central stores or central warehouse? ideas?

Alright, tomorrow we play that ToE. What are some stupid encounters you’ve had with them.

Hi everybody. @Angie is enjoying the festivities in London right now, so she invited me to post a guest Friday OT.

Once upon a time, a boy was born in small-town Indiana in 1931. Once he grew up to be a man, he moved to Indianapolis and became a noted civil rights leader in the region during the late 1950s and 1960s when this was not easy or popular in a southern-influenced state like Indiana.

He was the director of the city's human rights commission. He and his wife adopted numerous nonwhite children, including being the first white couple in Indiana history to adopt a black child in 1961. The charity work of his organization was extensive. They fed anyone needing a meal. They provided housing to the homeless and refugees, a home to hundreds of children orphaned or stuck in the foster system, and provided a path to keep people out of jail or the nasty, inhuman psychiatric facilities of the 1960s and 1970s.

His organization was multiracial, including every demographic group in significant numbers, during an era when the country was still struggling with the upshot of Brown v. Board and the Civil Rights Act. Many of his followers were older black people who grew up under Jim Crow in the South.

Then they met him -- he called himself God's Socialist. And he gave them love, comfort, and community for the first time in their lives after decades of society beating them down.


Now back to the OT --

What are some of the cults and cult leaders you find morbidly fascinating for their strangeness, the unknown nuances of their story, or for other reasons you'd like to discuss?

This should be a fun one.

YTD Consensus pick: 1-0

Are college football games too long?
It amazes me how much quicker pro-games seem to go. Less then an hour in and it's almost halftime already tonight.

Going to be in Des Moines this weekend. Where would be a good Cyclone crowd to watch the game in the area of the the Marriott Downtown?

The Iowa State women's soccer team hosts Iowa for the first CyHawk contest of the year!

They have a good start.

ESPN plus. Just curious. Anyone ever go to these games? This one is in Ames. Not even sure where the soccer fields are at Iowa State that they play on.

With 2023 recruiting ending in the best class in Cyclone history, the staff has started looking to the next Cyclone Class in 2025 and see if they can do even better.
As tradition one thread to capture the MBB recruiting news, interests and offers.
