    Did Christian Wiggins tear his achilles playing Pickleball?

    How is our injury rate compared to other P5 basketball programs of the course of a 12 month training, playing games and practicing regimen? If this is normal compared to everyone else over the course after a 5 year span, then that is just the way of things. If not, we may need to look at how...

    Christian Wiggins out for the 2026-27 season with a torn achilles

    This will hurt some this year but also next year as well. Firstly he could have been a contributor and added depth. Now our margin for error if other injuries occur is less. And frankly, for whatever reason, for us they tend to happen. Secondly, it is going to hurt for the year after this...

    CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best

    Breece played a 13 game schedule, Troy did his damage with only 11 games. Troy averaged more yards per carry than Breece over two years (both were primary ball carriers their sophomore and junior seasons). Breece had way more receiving yards, that stat is not even close. In an all star team...

    CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best

    don't forget Gary Pinkel at Missouri, they had some great teams. Mike Gundy at OSU probably had better teams in the Chizik/Rhoads era than the Campbell era. And Texas A and M was tough enough.

    CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best

    TD could carry the rock 50 times a game, no problem. He would also wallop blitzing linebackers. If you put Troy on an all star team from the Mac, Chiz, CPR era, he would be even more dangerous as you can't assign 9 guys to him like teams tried to do (and they still couldn't stop him), you...

    Top 5 Songs

    Yes, I have read a lot of books on pop/rock bands. Troubled Boys is the best one. Riveting at times. When you look at the 80s and the punk/post punk scene in America, Minneapolis was right up there as the one of the best scenes and the Replacements were a big part of that. Another great book...

    Top 5 Songs

    I read the Replacements book "Troubled Boys". Wow, what a story. There was no one in rock and roll history that was crazier than them. They should have been huge, so much talent. Their legend will continue to grow though. As I understand it, the people that made Stranger Things are doing a...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    and the thing that sucks about the whole thing is schools like Maryland, Northwestern, Rutgers, Iowa, Minnesota, Miss State, Kentucky, Vandy, Purdue, etc..get to ride on the gravy train. What do those schools have over most of the ACC and Big 12? The answer is nothing. Winners and losers are...

    ISU RELEASE: 2026 Cy-Hawk game will kick at 6:30 and be broadcast on NBC

    Iowa is lucky they have only gone through one coaching change. A coaching change in this rivalry normally means at least two losses in a row. With their one change, they lost 4 in a row. McCarney, PR, Campbell all struggled with Iowa out of the gate. The only exception was Chizik with the...

    K-State Podcaster Says Ames is Worst Road trip in Big 12!

    I went to Morgantown for the 2024 game. It thought it was a bonus to have to go to Pittsburgh. I had a great time in both Pittsburgh and Morgantown. If any of you guys go out next time, I highly advise going a riverboat tour in Pittsburgh.

    Question: Which player has the biggest impact next season?

    The interesting thing about this thread is there are multiple players listed. I think that means we just have a lot of good capable players. The guy that boxes out well, takes charges, gets steals, defends like a dog, does all the dirty work, basically like Nate, will be the most impactful and...

    What’s happening to Des Moines?

    Everyone that I know that lives downtwon loves it. I have young people at work and that is where they generally would prefer to look. They at least explore the possiblity to see if they can afford it. My brother is in his upper 50s and really likes it. My sister in law lives in the...

    The Beat Reporters: Donovan Davis commitment, Reliving 2002 Cy-Hawk Game, Campbell ESPN Article

    Rob said the The Shaggy game was not at Kinnick stadium, it wasn't, it was in Ames. Really fun day. I believe a Meyer to Blythe pass set up that winning FG at the end of the game. The Iowa fans called it a Hail Marry, which is wasn't, it was a play where they found a miss match, a linebacker...
