Lea Nelson and Chelsea Poppens react to Iowa State’s loss to Oklahoma State, courtesy of Karl Auto Group.

I see a lot of lamenting/meltdowns over last night’s loss (which is to be expected here). The most common meltdown I’ve noticed is we lost our chance at Big 12 regular season championship.

For the record, I’m not too concerned with last night’s loss. It was our second-hardest game left and we went 2-1 in the brutal 3-game swing, which I’m generally happy with.

But, I’m curious what the age of Fanatics who are really disappointed about the B12 title? I’m in my 30’s and not winning the B12 title is honestly the least of my concerns. Especially in the era of unbalanced schedules. I’m more worried about seeding in the NCAA tourney. I’ve always thought a season is ultimately judged on how you do in the national tourney. But I’m wondering if in the 80’s, 90’s it meant more and the NCAA tourney was a little more deemphasized

I view the conference title more like winning your division in the NFL. A nice feather in your cap, but way down on a team’s list of goals.

Iowa State had 8 great athletes participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Let's see what you know about them. 5 of them were men's basketball players. Take the quiz now.

Definitely slipped the last few years but surprised at timing here. Wonder if something else is up?

Got an email from Verizon that our place is eligible for Verizon Wifi Internet service for $35 a month, guaranteed for 3 years. We've had Metonet Fiber for about 5 years and are paying close to $100 a month for it.

My questions are....

Does anyone have Verizon Wifi? What do you think of it?

I'd welcome any advice on whether to make the switch or not.

I won’t be doing any columns this week. My 96 year old mom is fading and we’ve made the tough decision to move her from home to a nursing home tomorrow. Tough times, but many of you have been through it.

Cheer hard for the Sisters!

Killed himself. Very sad.

The first three quarters were a battle...one the Sisters won. But the entire fourth quarter was like watching a car run out of gas during a race.

For the best interest for our Cyclones, in both the Big XIi, as well as the NCAA tournament, who should we be cheering for between Houston and Arizona today?

Welcome back to the third annual MBB survivor game!
Here are the rules:
*Week runs from Monday to Sunday. Week one begins November 3 and ends November 9.

*You cannot pick a team more than once during this competition.

*You cannot join the game after the first week of games has ended.

*Failing to make any picks for a week will eliminate you.

*Pick up to three undefeated teams that you think will remain undefeated for that week. Any loss to a D1 school by one of your picked teams will eliminate you. Losses to D3 or lower teams do not count.

*All of your picks for a week (up to three teams) must be listed in the same post, and your post must be time stamped prior to the time the first of your teams tips off.

*Please bold your picks so they stand out in the thread.

*If you make changes to your picks, they must be made before the first tipoff of the new team AND the tipoff of the team you are switching off of. Also, as a favor to me if you edit your post, please @ me so that I can change my spreadsheets.

*You will get one point for each D1 win your team(s) get during the week.

*Week 4 will be a BYE week for all of us – it’s too hard to try to track all of the Thanksgiving week schedule changes, and I will be in Vegas, and I don’t want to do it! My game, my rules!

*Winner is the last player standing. In the event of a tie, points will be the tie-breaker.

***********************************************************************
FAQs
“Exhibition” games do not count, but midseason and end of season tournament games WILL count. Essentially, any game that will count against a team’s win/loss record will count. “Exhibition” games are games against D3 teams (or lower) that are not counted in a team’s win/loss count on ESPN.

As an example (for scoring clarification), from the Big Sky conference Eastern Washington has three games against D1 schools, Idaho has one D1 and one D3 game, Idaho State has two D1 and one D3 games, and Sacramento State has 2 D3 games. Max points for the first three teams would be 3, 1, and 2. You would not be able to pick Sacramento State that week because they play only D3 teams.

In the charts on the following posts, you will see the conferences, teams, and the first week of games. D1 indicates an eligible game. X indicates a game against a non D1 team. Remember that the week ends on Sunday, so I will have very little time to post remaining teams before Monday’s games tip off. I STRONGLY suggest you research your picks before posting them, because with 31 conferences, 367 teams and 773 games in the first week alone, mistakes can and will be made. ☹

In some weeks, there actually may be extra games beyond the ones I list, especially for the blue bloods. There are often tip-off classics and such that are not on the ESPN schedule until the last minute. I typically use ESPN – they’re pretty good at keeping up to date but they don’t get everything. Here’s a link: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/teams

The next few posts will contain all (I hope) of the games for week one, beginning on Monday, 3 November. Make your picks, and post them in this thread. I will tag all of the players who participated the past couple of years. Feel free to tag anyone else you think might like to join. Good luck!

Does anyone have insight into the fb season ticket renewal process?

we've got four tickets, friends of ours have two, they'd like to move and take over two of ours and we're willing to step down to only having two tickets.


Our renewal times are close, like 5 or 6 hrs apart. thoughts, suggestions, or ideas on how this happens? the ticket office and phone menu are less than useful - at least what I have found
