I see the game will be on ESPN+. Can't possibly be worse than the Creighton TV disaster.

We'll shoot better from the 3 and end up winning by 25+, prompting posters to over-react in the exact opposite way following the Creighton game.

There will be an official gameday thread tonight / tomorrow.

I thought about the Creighton game but there was already a discussion thread so I passed. Maybe that was part of what had us in a funk.

The universe was simply not right without your thread

I hope they win by 30 just so someone says they look like a Final Four team.

We, as a fanbase, could use a good ol fashion beatdown tomorrow...
...wait, that didn't come out right...

Is the air any better on this (BB) side?

I haven't opted for getting espn+ this year or next year, yet. I'm leaning toward not. I could use cyclone.tv more, but some concerns below.

I'd like to use my cyclone.tv a litlle more this year, listening on radio, more also. Especially so, for as little as we are on espn+ in FB. Even with BB last year, I'm guessing we were on espn+ only about 25% of the games? How often will we be on espn+ in BB this year is anybodies guess? We are not told in advance. Such is the life of a Cylone fan, I guess. We often have to wait until about 2 weeks before game time to learn which channel we will be bounced around to. That is a bit frustrating also.

I don't mind waiting a couple of days to watch ISU games on cyclone.tv, delayed, if it sometimes comes to that. I realize they likely won't have either exhibition BB game on cyclone.tv? But I don't know why they can't have a delayed radio on-demand re-run more often, even at all, on cyclones.tv. I haven't seen any the few times I've looked, and there weren't any.

I don't know who to voice this to. @brentblum, can you be it, or the guy? Why can't we get radio delayed replays, seemingly, on cyclones.tv? Occasionally I'd like to have this option. I know you don't make the decisions on what to air, or show delayed, but if you could pass it up the line, that would be great?

I've supported cyclone.tv for many years now, and am starting to wonder if I am getting as much as I'd like out of it. I do still think it is worth having, and supportting ISU thru cyclone.tv, about $74/year, but I also think the service could improve? Brent, if you could tell my who to contact at cyclone.tv, I could contact them myself.

Not if the Creighton game was a sign of things to come.

Jake, I'm concerned about Tamin's knee health for this BB season.

Grade 2 MCL sprains/partial tears can be hard to predict. Some take 9-12 months, some about 6 weeks, then ready to go. It sounds like his treatment is going well though.

What do you think? Any more details? Do they think he'll be good for the season soon with low risk of re-injury? I know you can't answer that. Will they ease him back in?

Having him ready for the season opener sounds good, but what's best for the team and for Tamin?

I haven't checked this out for myself yet, but I heard you can catch the radio replay of our games on the Varsity app. I use this app a lot to listen to John and Eric call the game live while I'm watching it on TV, but I don't have any idea how long the Varsity allows you to go back and listen to it.

Archived for 11ish months. You can go back a ways. It's awesome.

I've tried what I thought was the Varsity app a couple of years ago. It was OK, but sometimes inconsistent, eg, I couldn't get it to work.

I tried it, similar to this link here, https://thevarsitynetwork.com/feed/source/oas-1022?audioPlayer=isuni:allaccess-Live-5872.

I got this from the Varsity network, here, https://thevarsitynetwork.com/feed, then simply searched Iowa State.

Is the above correct or do you have to download the app? From what I can tell, the varsity app download is only for the iphone and ipad. I have PC. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/varsity-network/id1574519982

This is probably why is just settled for cyclone.tv. I couldn't find anything better. But now have somecomplaints with cyclone.tv service and performance.
