Playing for metrics or end of year health and success

S
If there is 1 thing I'd like change in the mentality of our current program it would be getting away from bowing to the metrics of winning big in trash early season games. Cyclone talking heads always bring up the 17-2 start we had and high ratings in kenpom, but 90% of those teams were basically traffic cones we beat by 30.
In my opinion, I'd rather win by 12-20 in those non-con games and play 10-12 guys deep throughout instead of our 7-8 guys playing 35min to run up the score.
Rest our guys early, play the whole roster, mix young/new guys in at all points of the game, get game experience and hopefully end the season without weardown/overuse injuries.

Job Hunt

CycloneRulzzz
Feel a bit apprehensive posting this as it feels a bit conceited on my part but I know there are many who care and instead of reaching out to several individually this way more people who care can find out.

After looking on job boards waiting for Old Chicago owner to get back to me about post closing cleanup I finally applied to the first job I found that caught my eye. Sent in online application late Monday got text about setting up an interview today. Interview is tomorrow.

We are nearing the end of a coaching era. Here's a look at the impact the hiring of Bill Fennelly has had on Iowa State.

Thirty Years and What it Means

The end of a sports season nearly always ends in a loss for every team but one. It’s all a matter of when that loss happens. There are approximately 351 D1 women’s basketball programs in this count…

Back to the Beginning - set list

Black Sabbath Announce ‘Back To The Beginning’

Icons of Metal come together to celebrate Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Performance July 5th at Villa Park. All Profits From The Show Will Be SHARED EQUALLY BETWEEN Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice.
www.ozzy.com www.ozzy.com

This is the end.
July 5th, 2025
Villa Park, Aston, Birmingham, England.

As I understand it, Ozzy is going to do short solo set before Black Sabbath finishes the night.

Two questions...

How many songs do they play (medleys don't count)?
What are they?

Keeping in mind Ozzy's warmup and the return of an elderly Bill Ward on drums...

And if you're a fan of Aston Villa...UP THE VILLA!

PSA: Iowa State’s Ceiling In Any Sport

Jer
My annual reminder for those in pain and pointing fingers.

Our coaches don’t swing between COTY candidates to sucking on a game by game basis in MBB and FB. They are great, and way too much is put on Xs and Os daily.

People really need to come to terms with the fact that we can compete with anybody and get a great starting five every year, but with NIL, anything beyond starters will always be a big drop off. Especially with regards to scorers or skill position that are going for the price of 50% of our entire athletic NIL.

That means you have little to no margin for injuries, slumps, etc. You will have years where it’s enough and goes well (ie FB 20) and others when not with the same roster and schedule (ie FB 21).

That is the same for football.

It has been this way forever, but amplified by magnitudes with NIL. We can win championships, but there is never room for error or injury, or even a dud star.

Real Estate Market

RLD4ISU
Any thoughts with the real estate market in 2025 and 2026?

I've read anything from it'll be pretty much like it has been the last year to be ready for values/prices to decrease, etc. Some of those that I talk to in the real estate world are very uncertain and skeptical. A few think we're looking at something similar to 2008.

Coach Nate Schmidt

ClonesTwenty1
I don’t think this gets talked enough about to be honest. He’s supposedly our offensive guru. But for the most part this season last few seasons our offense has looked like complete garbage as in sets and out of bounds plays. Schmidt is in full control in the huddle when drawing up the offense. I trust TJ with all my soul, but when’s enough enough for certain assistants? I’m not even trying to start ****, but it’s a valid question and discussion.
