We’ve done well with K linebackers. He doubles that.

If there is 1 thing I'd like change in the mentality of our current program it would be getting away from bowing to the metrics of winning big in trash early season games. Cyclone talking heads always bring up the 17-2 start we had and high ratings in kenpom, but 90% of those teams were basically traffic cones we beat by 30.
In my opinion, I'd rather win by 12-20 in those non-con games and play 10-12 guys deep throughout instead of our 7-8 guys playing 35min to run up the score.
Rest our guys early, play the whole roster, mix young/new guys in at all points of the game, get game experience and hopefully end the season without weardown/overuse injuries.

This is the end.
July 5th, 2025
Villa Park, Aston, Birmingham, England.

As I understand it, Ozzy is going to do short solo set before Black Sabbath finishes the night.

Two questions...

How many songs do they play (medleys don't count)?
What are they?

Keeping in mind Ozzy's warmup and the return of an elderly Bill Ward on drums...

And if you're a fan of Aston Villa...UP THE VILLA!

We are nearing the end of a coaching era. Here's a look at the impact the hiring of Bill Fennelly has had on Iowa State.

I'm seeing conflicting reports between Connor Ferg's article and SI...I trust Connor; however, would like a firm answer.

I honestly didn’t want to listen to Iowa everywhere today because I didn’t want to hear Hassels crap about ISU disappointing this year. It wasn’t bad but to be brutally honest the discussion on Bryce miller had me tearing up listening to it (and I didn’t even know the guy). I appreciate the honesty, the emotion and it was said on the pod but it really puts things into perspective as to what’s important in life. One of the better pods I’ve listened to in a long time.

Thank you Chris!

First of all. Shout out to the Seniors this year.

Chatfield - brought alot more to the team than I would have expected to start the season.
Gilbert - extremely dynamic player that should be a tryout/shot at the next level, but injuries plagued him and a special all-around season
Jones - Fantastic season, 6th man of the year. Should get a tryout/shot at the next level.

Is Jones really gone? It sounds like they are proceeding with requesting another year. TJ said they are proceeding as though he isnt getting it,
but the juco year actually should technically give him another year next year. If the NCAA follows the new policy then he SHOULD be back in 2025-2026.

Login to view embedded media - talking about potential for playing next year.

Regardless, they had a really special class that ran into a buzzsaw with injuries, but certainly gave fans a really fun and special year to watch.

Go Clones!

EDIT: THIS IS FOR THE WBB TEAM. Probably should have not posted this after last night's MBB loss.

Now that we've had some time to cool off from the end of the season. How would you rate it? I left off +/- but feel free to comment with those included.

Preconference: C-

Pretty disappointing, but not disastrous.

I'll admit I was one who was foolish and bought the preseason hype. Audi, Addy, and Emily back with transfers who should shore up our 3 pt shooting. Me Gusta.

Losing to UNI and Iowa hurt. We had decent leads in each of those games and blew it. Losing to SCAR and UCONN was expected, but man they blew any idea that this team should be ranked out of the water.

The wins against Drake and MTSU saved this section of the season from being a D or F.

Conference: B-

Underwhelmed, but performed when expected.

We won every game we should have and lost every game we should have. Barring one exception KSU. The inability to "punch up" made our getting into the tournament a big question mark until the KSU win. One more loss and we probably would have missed the tournament.

Gave this a B- as opposed to a B because the team regressed from winning against the odds and some of the losses were not great showings.

Postseason: B

Satisfied, performed to my expectations.

As a repeat to the last section, we won every game we should have and lost every game we should have. The ladies had good/great performances against ASU and Princeton and made the games against Baylor and Michigan toss ups.

Wished for more but got what I expected.

Overall Season rating: B-

I can't help that the preseason expectations have colored my perception on this entire season and is the reason I have to give it a B-. Picked 2nd in the XII to fall to 7th, and from top 10 to PIG was disappointing. A 23-12 season is a pretty good record and is our 3rd (or 4th depending on if you want to count by win% or total wins) best season in the last 10 years.

Back again! This time with a hopefully working laptop for a bit. I'll get this more formatted and updated later on but for now I want to at least get the framework out there

Milan Momcilovic, Curtis Jones, and Joshua Jefferson reflect on Iowa State’s loss to Ole Miss before looking ahead to what’s next.

I'm not going to hear that we have to stay positive. We can say it this was a disappointing season. Pre season top 5 team and to lose the way we did in the round of 32 in a non-competitive game.

I not going to go as far as to start blaming the coach, players, or fans. Sometimes you just don't meet expectations and this year we most certainly did not.

My annual reminder for those in pain and pointing fingers.

Our coaches don’t swing between COTY candidates to sucking on a game by game basis in MBB and FB. They are great, and way too much is put on Xs and Os daily.

People really need to come to terms with the fact that we can compete with anybody and get a great starting five every year, but with NIL, anything beyond starters will always be a big drop off. Especially with regards to scorers or skill position that are going for the price of 50% of our entire athletic NIL.

That means you have little to no margin for injuries, slumps, etc. You will have years where it’s enough and goes well (ie FB 20) and others when not with the same roster and schedule (ie FB 21).

That is the same for football.

It has been this way forever, but amplified by magnitudes with NIL. We can win championships, but there is never room for error or injury, or even a dud star.

Terrible team results.
