RADIO RECAP: Milan Momcilovic's heroics can't save No. 2 ISU from 79-70 loss at CIncinnati

No matter the sport, why does Iowa State always seem to fail the moment they reach a new height?

I'm going off of memory here, but I've the past decade it seems when any Iowa State team hits a new high, they always lose the next game.

Football vs Texas a few years back. Multiple Big12 football championship games. Basketball being ranked #2 two years in a row and immediately losing.

Am I only remembering the bad things or has anyone else noticed this pattern? What's the reason for this?

Friday OT - Not My Type

I am struggling with topics today, sorry if this one is a little weak!

I don’t overall believe in personality tests, but I do think that they can make interesting guides to help people sort of see the world and themselves.

I think we have done the Meyers-Briggs before. Not sure if anyone has done an enneagram - take it and let us know your type!


I am a 1 with just barely a 2 wing (1w2), literally one point over a 9 wing. Type one is considered the “reformer” - ordered and perfectionist, we believe firmly in doing things the right way and doing the right things overall, even if it leaves us a little bit rigid. Probably not totally incorrect.

Who are you?

Puerto Rico wrestler Ames High

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.
