    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.

    2024-25 ISU FB Early Predictions and Offseason Discussion

    I will be happy for the long runs he had in the BYU game. He had 110 yards in 8 carries. I think he had a 59 yarder in that one. But ISU also had and should still have explosive plays in the passing game, that will help set up the running game. To me, the bowl game is the one that is hard to...

    2024-25 ISU FB Early Predictions and Offseason Discussion

    We were 4-2 in road games last year. I think this team travels well and plays well on the road again this year. With that said, I think we have far fewer questions than Iowa, with a new OC and such. I think we win at Iowa and I believe we start the season at 5-0. Game 6 is at West Virginia...

    STORY: Iowa State showcased its younger players during a blustery spring game Saturday

    No, Sama and Carson were in uniform. I arrived at 10:15 am and saw Becht, Sama, and the others scrimmaging with offense going South. Then about 10:25 they stopped and started doing position drills. Those guys are fine, just not showing us what they can do. I saw one D-line, I think it was...

    Spring football video: Ryan Clanton's update on the offensive line

    I understand that we need and OL that can get the 1 yard when we need 1 yard most of the time. But what I saw in the Memphis game was a coach who called a play and had no viable option for switching when there were extra guys in the box. OL has no chance of success when reads and changes do...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    The seeding is what it is. I am less worried about SDSU, WSU, or Drake than I am getting refs from a small conference that have never seen a team play defense like ISU and it turn into free-throw scoring for our opponent and our best guys on the bench in foul trouble. That is the real threat...

    Heading into March Madness

    Perhaps it is time to change the starting line-up a little to kick some life into the team. Perhaps start Curt Jones over Milan and move Gilbert to the 3 to make a less mobile 3 have to guard him. Need to something different off the high screen and roll as it seems we are getting very little...

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    I watched on CBS. What the announcers said when Tang came over to TJ to discuss something after Tang had already alerted the officials to a problem. TJ listened to him then went off on the officials as TJ, according to the announcers, had already received a warning about being out of the...
