    JJeff Injury Updates

    It’s 2026 for God’s sake. Can we not find a faith healer to touch his ankle? I’m not closing any doors at this point. If Heise and Toure keep shooting like that this team can win it all if Joshua comes back. Just have to get Kentucky on Sunday.

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Arizona Game(Day) Thread ***

    We have 4 guards and none of them can shoot worth a crap. You can’t beat good teams in the postseason like this. I expect an early exit in KC and then in the tournament.

    *** Official #16 Texas Tech vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Which guard can consistently make shots among Lipsey, Toure, Heise and Batemon? This team is offensively challenged. The negative reactions to my post are in denial. If we face a team in the 2nd round that comes out on fire like Ole Miss did last year we won’t have the firepower to match them...

    *** Official #16 Texas Tech vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    This team got overhyped because we beat 3 teams in Vegas who turned out to be not that good and we shot lights out at Purdue. In reality we lack shot makers and to make a deep NCAA tourney run you need multiple shot makers. I think a return to the Sweet 16 is the ceiling for this team, although...

    ***Official portal tracker thread***

    There will be lots of donor fatigue soon. Even schools like Alabama and Georgia might say “enough.” Big donors are paying millions with no equity stake, every year that money is gone to expensive coaches and players.

    ***Official portal tracker thread***

    Seems to me like Campbell would bring that many only if a bunch of guys in Penn State’s existing 2 deeps transfer out. They still have a lot of talented players and I don’t think an ISU starter would go there if he may not start. I think it would be a Remember the Titans situation sans the...

    CW’s Book “Fanatic: Stories from 20 Years Inside Iowa State”

    I bought it online as soon as it came out. Loved it. Someone commented above about the chapter guest-written by Blum regarding the evolution of the We Will collective. It’s eye-opening and apropos right now.

    So It Begins... Private Equity in CFB

    Right, it’s payment to players. I don’t care what it’s called. NIL in its current form has nothing to do with name, image and likeness. It’s just payment to players. With the new rules the AD can pay up to $20.5 mil to players then the “NIL” starts from other sources. It’s all just payment to...

    So It Begins... Private Equity in CFB

    It’s exhausting trying to keep up with it all - relignment, transfer portal, NIL with no rules, conference private equity, more realignment, NIL with $20.5M cap but can do NIL deals above cap, school private equity, still more realignment.

    Rocco Becht undergoes surgery on non-throwing shoulder

    Exactly my thought. If it was imminent that Rocco was headed to PSU I think they would have him wait and do the surgery there. You don’t have another vet work on your $2 million pony.

    PSU Campbell Presser

    So Campbell coaches their bowl game vs Clemson on Dec 27. Will be painful to see him on the sideline in a worn Penn St auto repair shop hat, but interesting. I love Matt Campbell but will be rooting for Clemson. Mostly to quiet the arrogant PSU fans who assume Campbell will take every player and...

    Rogers first meeting with the team

    There is always a risk in transferring. Seems like it worked for Onyedim at A&M this season but I don’t think it worked for Isheem Young at Ole Miss. And Isheem looked like he was on his way to the NFL here. ISU has a very talented nucleus returning on both sides of the ball. Capable of getting...

    TJ Lifetime Contract

    Is Denny Albaugh our biggest donor? He’s tight with TJ so how about doing something with him formally? For a big donation that funds men’s basketball as needed for 10 years, name the practice facility after him or a building in CyTown.
