Wife and I just watched this and all I can say is it is horrific and heart-wrenching. I was outraged when the story first broke and it's only gotten worse watching this documentary. My heart absolutely breaks for the HUNDREDS of young girls - now young women - he sexually abused.

The part that hurts the most for me is all it would have taken is ONE adult to the the right thing to end this violence. ONE ******* ADULT. They had thousands and thousands of opportunities and not a single ******* adult did the right thing.

My wive is part of Women Helping Women through the YWCA and her committee has secured the judge from that trial to speak at their annual event coming up. I am reluctant to go as my outrage will only grow but one of my roles as an adult is to look out for those that can't defend themselves and try to give them a voice.

Minutes after the show was over, after I wiped the tears from my eyes, my wife told me about being abused in HS in Davenport 40 years ago. I'm terrified to ask her the details and find myself wanting to stick my head in the sand like all the other adults - and the thought I might do that terrifies me.

Been getting a lot of questions about this. Here's what I know.

Trey Scott ‏@Trey_Scott3 7m ISU women's hoops landed its first 2015 commit last night, per source. 6-1 G Bridget Carleton (Ontario). Michigan, Sparty, Vandy gave chase

3*, 6’3 215 lb linebacker out of Minnesota.

Film looks very similar to another certain LB for us that plays quite well.

Welcome Hunter!

@cyclones500 saved me again! Thanks for this great idea:

Using a personal 5-star rating, name some movies you considered close or equal to 4-star, but have had little motivation interest in watching more than once.

An example from me would be American History X - it was a great film, incredibly well-acted, but too gutting emotionally.

I'm biased being an Ames kid. Graduated a long time ago. Loved the school and the high level of academic and athletic competition. Felt it prepared me very well for down the road. I've never figured out the desire for so many of Iowa State's coaches and Admin that send their kids to Gilbert.

Thanks so much to @SCyclone for another great idea. What are some now-defunct/obsolete foods or drinks that you miss?

I was so happy when Clearly Canadian came back on the shelves even a little last summer. I snap it up every chance I get.

What are yours?

I found this article to be fascinating. I'd guess that the value difference would be even greater in college with the shorter 3 pt line.

I'm not sure what drugs these people were on when they put together this little PSA. They could at least held the damn phone the right way.

Sorry if there's already a thread for the draft this week, I didn't see one.

I'm a Packers fan, so I'll start there.

With their 2 first round picks I'd like to see them go with an Edge Rusher and an OT. If they take a QB in the 1st round, which some are saying they should, then I give up.

If they are going to have a shot at a another Super Bowl while Rodgers is still somewhat at the top of his game, they need to do it in the next couple of years. Sure, they will eventually need someone to take over for Rodgers, but you don't waste a 1st round pick on another QB when you need to win NOW.

What they probably should do at QB is offer the Cardinals a 3rd or 4th round pick for Rosen. He could eventually take over for Rodgers IMO.

Happy Offseason!

I wanted to ask you guys who love recruiting: Which cyclone has your favorite High School (or JUCO) highlight tape?

My favorite is Mike Warren. When I saw his tape, I was SHOCKED that he was only being recruited by mid-major programs.

My other favorite is Robert Hudson. More pancakes than IHOP.

I'll beg mercy from the beginning in case this post should be under another thread. MOD's please put in one if this doesn't deserve it's own thread.

Apparently it will just require all the Division 1 AD's to increase their budgets even further. Does this argument hold water?

Eye witnesses said that it flooded in a couple of minutes when the levee broke.

I am impressed by his ability to recruit depth. It seemed like previous coaches could sometimes get a pretty good 1st string out there but struggled to build depth. So when injuries invariably occurred we were screwed. I always attributed it is nobody wants to come and be a backup for a period of time at ISU because of poor tradition etc. it doesn’t seem to matter to this staff. Their ability to build a program appears to be extremely sustainable because every position has a pretty good 2 deep. This is something I have never seen in the last 20 years that has has some success. Now some very special players are starting to take notice(Brock and Hall) and committing. They don’t seem to care they are in the same class. It’s pretty cool.

can you imagine playing against this guy?

ESPN published a fun article today where they named a current player from each ranked team that could go on to be a future head coach. Who would be your pick?

ESPN article: http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/26635686/the-future-head-coach-top-25-team

My pick would be Chase Allen.

First-Team Academic All-Big 12 in 2017 and 2018, major in mechanical engineering. Coaching is in his blood with his dad Terry and Terry's dad Robert.

From Cyclones.com: "father, Terry, was the head football coach at Northern Iowa (1989-96), Kansas (1997-2001) and Missouri State (2006-14) … Terry was an assistant coach at Iowa State from 2002-05 and the starting QB at Northern Iowa from 1976-78 … grandfather, Robert Allen, was the head men’s swimming and diving coach at Iowa from 1959-75"

This should help attract athletes. Pretty cool.

#4 Iowa State Cyclones
If you asked people who had the best uniform in the Big 12 there probably wouldn’t be many people who would pick Iowa State. But it is quietly a really solid-looking uniform. Dark Red and Yellow are usually not the color combination you would throw out as a good look, but the Cyclones make it work.

The jersey looks great with the Cyclones above the number and the different color than the number. It makes both of them pop and looks good. The collar and sleeves being outlined is such a good look that I just don’t understand why every team doesn’t do it. It makes it look like a basketball jersey and should be required by every team.

I just purchased VB season tickets for the 1st time. I've been to a few games over the last several years and always enjoyed it, so thought I's make a commitment to go to more games. Anyway, could someone answer some questions for me in simple terms (not rule book speech). What are the restrictions for back row players, and more specifically the restrictions for the Libero? Looking forward to my seat assignment and the games.

With all the talk on here about new uniforms I've noticed that we need to update the wikipedia pages. T-Noah? Anyone? They still have the Rhoads uniforms images.
