Hey has coach said if anyone has stood out in practices. I know practice is mostly for youngsters

Was just searching around and came across these: https://www.comc.com/Cards,sh,i100,=kyle+kempt

Had no idea they made cards for him this year.

Anyone know what uniform’s we might be wearing? I “heard” black helmet but not black uni’s. Not sure that would look good with our standard colors! I’d be all for all black since we haven’t lost when wearing them.

i assume we’d wear our standard cardinal & gold colors to show off our school colors.

Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!



Let's hear everyone's Airing of Grievances

Was chatting in the Prohm thread, and the subject came up of what is the biggest shot in ISU history. Thought it would be a fun topic to debate and wanted to decouple it from the toxic sludge that is that thread.

Some big games in the past that likely had some big shots that I was either not alive for or too young to remember (so you old guys will have to help us out ):

1986 second round win vs Michigan
1996 Big 8 championship vs KU
1997 second round win vs Cincinnati

I’d probably consider Kanes layup vs UNC as the biggest of my lifetime that I can remember.

Go!

Anyone have any experiences with it? Good or bad?

I'm looking into the company, Figo, which offers a pretty solid plan for $25 a month. Any other suggested companies?

What are your top ten TV shows of all time? Awesome if you can manage to rank them, which is more than I can do with any certainty (and these are of shows I have seen, obviously - not including things like "The Wire," which I haven't):

10. Twin Peaks
9. Stranger Things
8. 30 Rock/Parks & Rec
7. Freaks & Geeks
6. Game of Thrones
5. The State
4. Mr. Show
3. Downton Abbey
2. Arrested Development
1. Breaking Bad

Honorable Mentions - Fargo (I haven't seen all of the seasons), Larry Sanders Show (same), Seinfeld, The Office (UK version), Louie, My So-Called Life

I know, I know the season isn’t even over and we still have a bowl game to play in (not to mention preseason ranking are pointless), but it isn’t every day ISU gets love in these things. Once I scrolled past 20 I figured ISU wasn’t going to make an appearance, but merry Christmas early Cyclone Nation from B/R.

For those of you unfamiliar with Orlando, it is a great location for a bowl game. However, it is more spread out and extensive than San Antonio and it has way more entertainment options. Here are a few thoughts from my experience on several trips thereover the years. Hope this thread will serve as a place for those with Questions to meet those with Answers.

1. The main tourist zone is along I-4 with Universal Studios on the north, the Convention Center and Sea World on the south, and Disney on the far South.
2. International Drive and Universal Blvd. essentially run parallel to each other and are the two main tourist routes (with trolleys). This area was built to handle tourists and people attending conventions. There are tons of hotels and attractions. https://www.internationaldriveorlando.com/50-ways-to-have-fun/. A new one that I might try is Andretti Indoor Racing (calling out @isufbcurt).
3. The Convention Center for the Cyclones Unplugged event is huge (much bigger than you think and way bigger than it looks). Our event will be big, but take up only a fraction of the facility.
4. The Hyatt Regency for the CF charter is right next to the Convention Center.
5. The Gridiron Club event at Marlow's in Pointe Orlando is just north on International Drive from the Hyatt.
6. There are nice areas of nightlife near, but not in the amusement parts (no admission fee required), such as Universal CityWalk https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/theme-parks/citywalk and Disney Downtown https://disneyland.disney.go.com/destinations/downtown-disney-district/.
7. You can often get free parking if you go to an establishment near the parking garage and get your ticket validated.
8. The Camping World Stadium is north of Universal on I-4 toward downtown. I've heard that there is a lot of construction, so bear that in mind for your transportation. I'll give the details I have in another post.
9. The Amway Center for the Magic/Sixers game is not too far from the Camping World Bowl, so if you go to the game on Friday night, you can scope out the football stadium too.
10. There are tons of things to do outside of the main tourist area. For instance, there is a small man-made lake with waterskiiing pulls and jumps. Or my favorite, go on an airboat ride in an alligator-infested swamp. Get the craziest driver and tip him early in order to have a great time.

Well, that should get the conversation started.

As I made the two hour drive home tonight I kept thinking about the Jekyl Hyde nature of this team. I tried comparing them to the football team that was loaded with talent. We all know that team kept finding ways to shoot toes off and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. While there are definitely some similarities the differences keep that comparison from being valid. This team isn’t loaded with talent. If this team is going to win it’s going to be workmanlike and mistakes have to be kept at a minimum. AND a few things have to break in their direction.

Tonight I knew this team was in for a struggle in the second quarter. Joens was struggling to get anything going. Rae was still playing like she did against Iowa. Nez, as much as I love her on offense, has bad defensive habits (swiping at balls) that keep her in foul trouble. Kristen still wasn’t looking anything like who we saw last year. UNI had shifted gears and started to out rebound us. We were missing free throws. Outside of Maggie, guards weren’t shooting the ball and when they did they were missing from deep.

This game was a tale of two quarters. ISU won two of them and UNI won the other two. Unfortunately, the big quarter was number four and the sisters plain ran out or gas. A nearly six minute scoreless drought while UNI erased an 8 point deficit with a 15-0 run was when the fat lady started singing.

The game was strange. UNI used a ten deep lineup and part of the strategy was to beat us up. They fouled and fouled some more. How did we respond? We missed free throw after free throw. Those misses severely altered the game. The officiating was spotty at best. Sometimes downright terrible, but we know that’s a fact of life in the Big 12. This team continues to struggle shooting from deep. They also have a tendency to stand around too much on offense and on rebounds. I remember one example where an ISU player had a clear shot at a defensive rebound and rather than jumping for it, they stood and waited in the ball to come to them. A UNI player slashed in, jumped, rebounded and scored.

This is the way this season is going to look until a couple of things happen. First, we need some players to get more engaged on offense. There is a tendency to defer to others and too much standing and watching. Second, we have to develop more than a 7 deep lineup. We miss Wise terribly for many reasons. Obviously her heath comes first and I’m not counting on her return any time soon. Third, the coaches are going to have to manage minutes and adjustments better than they are. Tonight this team was gassed part way into the 4th. That just can’t happen.

I’ve said this in some of my other posts, but right now this team is a one trick pony. If Joens struggles (and she did tonight) we currently don’t have another player that can make up for it. I love the potential Maggie shows, but offensively she has a bad tendency to dribble into a crowd with no plan in mind. That’s something that is coachable. Nez' bugaboo is fouls. Rae is too hesitant and appears to lack some degree of confidence. Kristen appears to still be working her way back (she had some nice highlights tonight defensively). The team struggles from deep. The hope in this list is that most of it can be corrected through coaching and practice.

So, we lost to every D1 team in the state. It’s been a long time since that happened. None of the losses were pretty and all could have been wins if not for one or more of those weaknesses being exposed. The good is that there is time left to grow. The bad news? The conference is going to be a meat grinder and those three a Iowa teams have provided everyone the blueprint for beating ISU. Get physical and hustle.

So, my Christmas wish this year for our sisters is that they develop fixes for this problems and their potential shines through. Merry Christmas everyone. Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Just saw it on the ticker. My brother and I went to the 03 conference championship game at arrowhead. That's crazy to think about the longevity he's had.

Hoping it's old school Eddie and not PC Eddie.
