Big8 tourney championship game against KU. Are there any computer science guys at ISU?? Can they do digital restoration at all? It is like watching the Zapruder film.

It must suck being a KU fan....you know, looking at yourself in the mirror and such.

Is anyone else having this issue where the article is not right after the ad on the top of the website. Is this the norm now? Just wondering

Setup for developer:
Samsung galaxy s10e
Using Chrome

Anyone else amazed at how bad both classes are this year?

Jacobson as a Junior: 11.1 ppg/57.6 fg%/34.0 3pfg%
Jacobson as a Senior: 6.7 ppg/40.7 fg%/27.8 3pfg%

Nixon as a Junior at Colorado State: 16.1 ppg/35.9 fg%/33.0 3pfg%/84.3 ft%
Nixon as a Senior at Iowa State: 8.1 ppg/33.8 fg%/23.1 3pfg%/66.7 ft%


Jackson: 3.7 ppg/33.3 fg%/33.9 3pfg%
Grill: 1.7 ppg/27.3 fg%/16.7 3pfg%


This has gotta be the worst senior and freshman classes in a long time.

Halftime 30-21 with Texas hitting a three before the half.
Granted I am watching the play by play it is a game of waves. Scoring draughts, turnovers all around.
Joens and Scott with 10 each. Wise with a big 3. Mark my words, she will come back in a big way soon.

Also to note, Baylor is only leading TCU at the half by 2. 36-34

Came across two pretty cool threads on Iowa State reddit.

So with all the recruiting talk. I thought it would be interesting to put current projections on paper

2019-2020
125 - Mackall - RJr
133 - Small - RJr
141 - Parker - RJr
149 - Degen - RJr
157 - Carr - RFr
165 - Straw - RSr
174 - Colbray - RJr
184 - Coleman - RSo
197 - Shapiro - RFr
285 - Gremmel - RJr

2020-2021 (I am leaving starters as starters and not guessing who might beat them out)
125 - Mackall - RSr
133 - Small - RSr
141 - Parker - RSr
149 - Degen - RSr
157 - Carr - RSo
165 -
174 - Colbray - RSr
184 - Coleman - RJr
197 - Shapiro - RSo
285 - Gremmel - RSr

Gomez will be a factor at 133/141
Carr could go 165. Leaves Schumacher, Mulder, G Stotts in for 157/165
Broderson will be a factor at 174-197

2021-2022
125 - Reeves - RSo
133 - Ramazan - RSo
141 - Gomez - RJr
149 - Leisure - RSr
157 -
165 - Carr - RJr
174 -
184 - Coleman - RSr
197 - Shapiro - RJr/ Broderson - RSo
285 - Dugan - RJr

Cam Robinson & Ben Monroe will be a redshirt freshman - 157?
Again have G Stotts - RJr at 157?
Again at 174, have Mulder, Schmacher
Again at 184 & 197, have to sort out Broderson, Shapiro and Coleman


I am not guessing on who might step up or who might transfer in or committ

Nice to see her hard work and performances be recognized.

So who do you have in the starting lineup post Halliburton? Also, who’s minutes increase the most moving forward?

@CloneLawman asks: I was waiting until the Iowa caucus results were announced to ask my question. Do I get an extension due to the Iowa Dems incompetence?
Pants: You can get the extension, but your end result may not even end up being accurate anyway.
GTO: The results are being challenged by the Sanders campaign, so you may have to wait until that is settled before you can ask your question. Have a walking taco and a clone cone, because it may be a while.

@Sigmapolis asks: What five things need to happen in the spring and summer (with recruiting and player development) for us to return to the NCAA tournament in 2021?
GTO: 1. Figure out the right roles for Conditt, Griffin, Young, and Lewis.
2. Have one or two of the new players turn into serviceable three-point shooters
3. Grad transfer point guard
4. Emphasis on rebounding at the expense of giving up some transition baskets at time.
5. Replace one of the assistant coaches with someone who can either: a) help with defense b) help develop our bigs.
Pants: 1. Convince Hali to stay
2. Get a new head coach
3. Figure out that how to actually utilize Conditt
4. Inbounds plays
5. Bring back big Georges

@mdk2isu asks: With the football recruiting class now finalized, which of the signees are you most looking forward to seeing on the field? Do one for both offense and defense.
Pants: Bankston on defense. I love his swagger and think he’ll excell in his role. On offense Dekker. But since he won’t see the field as quickly, I’ll go with TJ Tampa.
GTO: Offense has to be TJ Tampa. I hope the amount of hype around him is warranted. Defensively, I also agree that Latrell Bankston will be key if we hope to continue playing a 3-man front. Dude looks legit.

@Angie shooting first and asking bulleted questions later:
-Do you follow recruiting for basketball/football? Or do you find it too speculative?
-What stamps do you have on your passport?
-Three bullets minimum.
GTO: -I follow basketball recruiting a lot closer than I follow football. I do find football very speculative, but basketball seems a lot more spot on.
-Panama, Dominican Republic, Canada.
-Why are these things called bullets anyway? They look more like bullet holes. Unless you’re talking about revolutionary war era bullets which looked like balls stuffed into a cloth with gun powder.
Pants: -It’s give and take with me. I like football more, so I try to keep up, but there’s so many more players that I just don’t find it worth my time. Basketball there’s a lot less players to keep up with, but I’m only somewhat interested in basketball, so it’s hard for me to get as excited about it.
-Only Costa Rica and Canada right now Looking to increase those soon, though! (Does Canada even stamp? I honestly can’t remember.)
-Where’s the fourth?

@Doc with the unnecessarily long numbered list: Got a biological question for you guys
1. What is the scariest bird in the world?
Pants: Probably the Shoebill. I’ve had one of those attack me once when I worked at the Indianapolis Zoo. Geese are pretty terrifying as well.
GTO: Who falcon cares? In all seriousness, I think any of the larger birds of prey are pretty scary. According to Google, the deadliest birds to humans are ostriches and cassowaries. I knew about cassowaries, but I guess ostriches could be pretty dangerous as well.

@Sigmapolis asks: Who was your main on Super Smash Brothers back in the day?
GTO: Link, bro. Welcome to the Hyrule friendzone. This got me thinking about Kirby and Jigglypuff and how much they looked alike whenever the screen zoomed out. Bad decision to include them both in the game.
Pants: PlayStation user 4 lyfe

Just so everyone can make arrangements if they don't get it

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CF’s landing spot for music exploration, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500. I'll be your host today.

For this segment, we address the dark side of Valentine’s Day: Love gone sour. We want to reach beyond “broken-hearted" themes. We seek songs about relationships/breakups with a backdrop of bitterness and vengeance.

• Last week’s OTN: I’ve Got a Bad Disease

Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be meeting with St. John this week!

I’m super excited. I haven’t spoken with him one on one probably since I wrote my Skyler St. John profile!

Let me know if you guys have any pressing questions or ideas you’d like me to know. As usual, y’all know my inbox is always open.

I’ll have availability video up later when I’m off work!

For those not in the loop J'den has been in between weight classes for his "normal" weight and hadn't made the announcement which way he was going for this upcoming years Olympics. He's going 97

Disgusting but sadly, not surprising.

After several minutes, they stopped and Riep told the woman that she needed to say what happened was “consensual on a video recording while laughing at her,” according to the affidavit. Riep then told the woman she needed to shower before driving her back to her home.

Because you know what happened in Manhattan last night

First if all, I absolutely HATE that I have to think about this. People suck. I mean, most of you are OK, but you get what I mean.

Anyway...woke up this morning to take the dog out. The dog is a 16 year old lab/border collie mix, so as you can imagine, he’s a little slower than he used to be, but he is in pretty decent health all considering. No pain at all. Guy is a trooper. He can’t hear anymore, and hasn’t been able to for a few years. Because he can’t hear, we do tie him up when it’s bathroom time. One of those long wire cords with red plastic covering the wire.

That cord was cut last night. It is not as though something chewed through it, as it was clean. We live out in the country, so theoretically, it could only be a couple/few people who did it, and I want to know exactly who is ******* around my house in the middle of the night.

Any suggestions for security cameras/systems that are somewhat affordable, have good night vision, easy to install and would be hard for someone to see? I don’t want a system that has motion detected lights either, as I want to catch these ******** in the act. If I do, not only are they paying for the minimal dog cord damage, these clowns are going to get a bill for the security system too.

Thoughts?

My latest story is a preview for tonight's game against Texas. Would be another huge victory if the Cyclones can find a way - as they have, in unorthodox ways, quite a few times this season.

Was supposed to go to Chicago for a Dirty Heads concert and watch the TT game in Wrigleyville this weekend, but circumstances have nixed those plans. Still taking Friday off, want to make the best of a day off, and am wondering where the best breakfast spot is in Iowa? My personal favorite is The Hitchin Post in Bevington, but looking to do something different.

Here you are my friends!!!!

The #5 ranked recruit in the class of 2021 has committed to Penn State (via his instagram). Iowa State was considered a frontrunner for his services, he is from the same hometown as assistant coach Brent Metcalf and former cyclone NCAA champ Jon Reader.

Ouch, that one stings.
