    Tight end Ben Haulmark leaves Iowa State

    I don't know much about him, but the coaches recruited him. He could have done nothing more than punt team blocking, but hate seeing guys leave. Not sure the staff could get someone else for this fall, but I have low expectations this season anyway.

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    MM is leaving the best way he could, to allow ISU to sign transfers. TJ has a roster spot if MM doesn't find a better fit. I don't blame Rocco or other football seniors for following CMC. Learning a new system your last year and not knowing if you position coach is bringing in 'his guy' and...

    JJeff Injury Updates

    In Highland school, I had a severe low ankle sprain. Trip to ER and crutches. Missed the game that night. No therapy but ice and ibuprofen and I was at practice Monday with a brace and tape wrapped. Just depends how severe.

    Name your hot takes 2026 post tcu loss

    We do not play well against physical teams. Several turnovers were ball slapped out of hands and most games would have been fouls. Big 12 physical, handsy teams run into trouble in the tournament when refs from other conferences call those as fouls. I heard last night from announcers comments...

    ***Iowa Pregame Thread***

    ISU was 3 point Dawgs to KSU and won by 3 (should have been 10). We were 15.5 point favorites to USD and won by 48 (should have been 55). We are 3 point favorites to TOE. I think we win it. I hope we score early and often in first half and make them adjust to it, then run heavy in the second...

    Bricked.

    3 in a row. I really expected a 10 point win. Wish ISU would have punched that last TD in. I think KSU would have done it to us, if roles reversed.

    Check Out This Week's STAFF PICKS

    I think as good as people seem to think KSU defense is, I think ISUs defense is very good as well and has stopped KSU last year. I see ISU by 2 scores, 27-17.

    Mid(conference)-Season Check-Up

    Something needs to change, but at KU is not the place to make a change. We have 3 guards that would likely start on any team in the conference. But they don't really play well with all three on the court. I think a change for Saturday would be to start Watson and bring Jones off the bench...

    New AP Poll Dec 1

    After our second bye week, we dropped, I think 2 spots. I am using that as a guide in that all the teams not playing next Saturday will drop 2 spots. The committee will be consistent, right??? (sarcasm)

    UCF Post game thread

    Hunter for UCF is about 5-6 inches shorter than our O-linemen, weighs around 330 and is very athletic. It is very difficult to block a guy whose center of gravity is lower than yours. He can get into you, lift up a little, and then you have very few options to push with effectiveness. Most...

    CF Staff Picks: No. 11 Iowa State @ West Virginia

    No turnovers for ISU. Will WV allow a punt block? I think the score will be ISU 24- WV 17. I think it will be a good game. Last week, I told a friend ISU 34-BU 21. I got the 3 and the 4 turned around. I hope I have the 2 and the 4 turned around this week, but I doubt it.

    *** Official #18 IOWA STATE vs Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    GO CYCLONES! Get in the endzone early and often. Their defense is descent, but our bend and don't break is better. ISU 38 UH 13 with a late TD after 2 FGs.

    Drive Your Hawkeye Acquaintances Crazy By Doing This.....

    I thought Sandesky got hurt in the second half. Looked like a knee.
