Recent CyHawk Series Performance

Cyched
Lately it’s been a rough go for us in the major sports in the rivalry, but saw Keith Murphy’s tweet last night and it was a little eye opening to see written out

What are people’s thoughts on this?What’s been the reason behind this? Outside of wrestling, I wouldn’t consider Iowa light years ahead of us in any of the major sports the past few years.

I'm far from a “we need to beat Iowa every year!!” guy, but you should beat your rival every so often. It’s just weird to me considering the past few years have been generally pretty solid for ISU Athletics, but we can’t get over this rivalry hump.

Notre Dame Athletic Article user comments

schlitzer
There is an article on The Athletic written by Pete Sampson who covers the Notre Dame football beat.

FWIW I copied some of the user comments made on it. Most of the comments seem pretty arrogant.

For those of you that have access to the Athletic you can read the whole article here: https://theathletic.com/1444443/2019/12/08/camping-world-bowl-notre-dame-brian-kelly/

Pretty solid slap in the face to ND. Maybe even worse. If it weren’t for the practices I’d decline the bid. It’s below a team that beat so many teams the CFP considers top 25.

@Peter P. On the other hand, a game is a game. Declining the bid might be satisfying on a petty level, but it's a great opportunity for Iowa State, and it's also a great opportunity for some of our younger players to get playing time.

@Peter P. No it's not. ND is a top 10-15, second-to-third-tier team this season playing in a second-to-third-tier bowl. There is nothing out of the ordinary here other than the fact that the Big XII had a lousy season collectively and has produced no worthwhile opponents outside of the top 2.

@Peter P. ND made their bed when they got killed by Michigan. Unfortunately it seems the committee is done doing ND any favors. Being ranked behind every 2-loss P5 team except Minnesota, as well as a couple of 3-loss teams, sends the message loud and clear.

@Peter P. Honestly, it's not such a slap in the face. ND is 2-2 against current Top 25 teams..and those wins are Navy and USC who hardly are considered quality this year. Beat Iowa State, which is a dangerous team, but not Top 25 and you finish Top Ten-ish. Look at the Final Four and look at the Irish and you realize the Irish are not nearly elite, but rather, as they say in the commercials, just ok.

They need to renogiate the terms they agreed to for future bowl games. This game will probably look like the Pinstripe Bowl against Rutgers all over again

@theodore P. A no-win situation against an inferior opponent where they will under-perform and win in a forgettable style. Also this game has a time slot of being completely irrelevant

Iowa/Iowa St.

T
Just watched the Iowa vs Michigan game. Couple thoughts/questions concerning the upcoming game. I do think it will be a good game. If we can hit the outside shot, we should win. However, if the officials let them play, like they did in the Michigan game, we could be in for a long night. Garza should have been in foul trouble early on but they would not call it. He pushes off, hooks people, and backs into players all the time. In the NBA, he would be fine, but in college it should be a foul! He reminds me of Adam "poke in the eye" Woodbury. Are the officials in this game Big 10, Big 12, or neutral? I know in football, the traveling teams conference does the officiating. I just hope they call it tight...both ways!

ISU History: Zaid Abdul- Aziz (aka Don Smith) and banning the dunk

BoxsterCy
For all of you young pups. Some ISU history on one of our greatest all-time hoopsters.

THE BASKETBALL LEGEND

An article from The Sporting News confirms this account, saying, “One spectacular play by Don Smith might have motivated Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State into predicting that the basketball rules makers would outlaw the dunk shot and eventually raise the basket.”

Halftime Shows & Forest at JTS

WIB
Does anyone know what happened to the halftime shows? We used to have one every game. For the past season or two it seems like we only have about 3 a season. I assume we are saving the money and tacking it on to Campbell's salary?

Also while I'm here, does anyone know what the deal is with the forest we are growing on the west side of Jack Trice? The grass is about 6 feet long on the hills behind the concessions. It looks pretty awful. I imagine the Reimans had that included in the contract when they donated the money for the SEZ?

Google Fi

Anyone have it? I have been kicking around switching to it as it would likely be a little cheaper but I am worried about coverage. We would also have to buy new phones as we currently have iPhones and it doesn't work as seamlessly with those.
