Lea Nelson and Connor Ferguson react to No. 9 Iowa State’s upset loss to Oklahoma State, courtesy of Channel Seed.

Post your overreactions to our Cyclones falling to a 3 seed and probably heading to Denver.

I don’t think this gets talked enough about to be honest. He’s supposedly our offensive guru. But for the most part this season last few seasons our offense has looked like complete garbage as in sets and out of bounds plays. Schmidt is in full control in the huddle when drawing up the offense. I trust TJ with all my soul, but when’s enough enough for certain assistants? I’m not even trying to start ****, but it’s a valid question and discussion.

Hey all, I am looking into getting a 3d printer and really new to all this. I am looking for recommendations on what to look for pros and cons.

Thanks!

IOWA STATE GAME NOTES

I know this may be covered in other threads but I'd be curious to get some new perspectives. Why do some programs struggle so much in certain sports? It looks like Huskers will miss the dance again despite having a coach that took ISU to a number 2 seed. I'd be curious to hear opinions on not just Nebraska but other schools as well.

Just east of University on S.E. 4th street is a bridge over Ioway Creek. The City of Ames is looking to build a pedestrian bridge on the south side to help with game day foot traffic. See the attached story.

Some friends took us to see Yacht Rock Revue in Denver last year and now we are hooked. We're seeing them three more times this year. Not only is great music and a great band, but it's a great party! Anyway, I decided rather than dressing up like a captain like everyone else does, I'm going as Spaulding from Caddyshack at Smails's yacht club party. Just had this shirt printed up. I've got the whole rest of his getup as well. Bermuda shorts, long socks, boat shoes and bucket hat.

One observation I had is that Brandton Chatfield has played really well lately. He started off playing okay to start the season and then hit a big lull where he was providing very little offensively and rebounding. Was this just him struggling to adjust to Big 12 basketball? He has really come on the past few games and he was our best post scorer against Houston.

@UCF - 9 points, 4 rebounds
Cincinnati - 9 points, 6 rebounds
Colorado - 6 points, 3 rebounds
@Houston - 8 points, 2 blocks

David and Marcus are both going tomorrow night.

Who is watching or going?

Well it's getting to be that time of year and our tax preparer retired, so we're looking for a new person. We paid $340 in the past and our tax situation wasn't too complicated. We started to fill out the TurboTax free, but didn't like the results we were getting compared to our previous years, especially since we haven't had any real changes in our financial situation.

Just wondering if anyone has a great tax preparer they would suggest and how much they typically charge. Would be nice if we could find someone here in central Iowa. Thanks!

....Spring VB must be copying Spring FB as 3 of the 4 spring matches (including both at ISU) will be closed to the public:

125- I think best case for Kysen is probably a R12 finish, worst case is a bad conference tournament in Tulsa and he doesn't get a bid to NCAAs. With how long he's been out, I am nervous about how he will look in Tulsa. I think he does end up doing enough to get to Philly and goes 2-2 and makes the R16.

133- Best case for Evan is an NCAA title- he can beat anyone at the weight. I think worst case is R12 finish. Most likely, Evan makes the semis and loses and then wins his consi semi and goes for 3rd and 4th. I love how he's been wrestling and I'm hopeful him being held out of Mizzou was truly precautionary and he's good to go in Tulsa.

141- Best case for Jacob is probably a 4th place finish- I am not sure I see him beating Bartlett, Mendez, or Alirez, but I think he can compete with anyone else at 141. At this point, I think worst case is a R16 exit. I think Jacob wins a gritty R12 match and is an AA this year.

149- Paniro's ability would have his best case being an NCAA champion, but I don't think he is consistent enough for that to be his true best case. I think best case is a mid to low AA finish. Worst case is 1-2 and similar to his freshman year. Someone said it in another thread, but Paniro is a wrestler where if you're a top seed, you don't want to see him and if you're a lower seed you probably do want to be matched up against him. No clue what will happen, but I hope he proves me wrong and is a high AA.

157- Before the Mizzou match, I was much more optimistic. Now, I think Cody is in a similar boat to Paniro. He can beat anyone, but can lose to anyone. This will be a big March for Chittum and I hope he does enough to AA and get on the stand.

165- Best case, steals a spot for NCAAs. Worst case, misses NCAAs. At this point, I don't think Riggins will be in Philly, but we will see when allocations are announced and what his draw in Tulsa looks like.

174- Best case is probably R16 in Philly, worst case is missing out on NCAAs. MJ will need to steal a spot, so Tulsa will be very important for him. I think MJ qualifies and then wins a match or two in Philly.

184- Best case is low AA, worst case R16. Evan is pretty consistent and I think the easiest to predict of all our wrestlers. I think he gets to the R12 this year.

197- I don't see Schon stealing a spot to get to nationals, but we will see.

Hwt- Best case he gets to Philly and wins a match. Worst case, he doesn't get an allocation and misses out on a wild card and doesn't qualify. I think Pnut gets to Philly and wins a match. Very good true freshman season and will get to redshirt and focus on improving next year.

Overall, we will for sure have 5 guys in Philly with realistic AA ambitions. I am hoping we qualify 8 total and get 2-3 AAs. It's going to be a grind, and we really need big tournaments from Paniro and Cody- especially with the logjam we have there. Another no-show from Paniro and you have to think Swiderski is the leader in the clubhouse for the spot next year since he is already proven as an AA. Then you'd have Paniro and Cody battling it out for 157. This season has been frustrating, but hopefully we have a good tournament to inject some momentum for what should be a very good squad in 2025-2026.

He won 150 in Arizona with 3 pins and a Major in the finals.
