    Best towns in Iowa

    I do agree with your Campustown comment. Other than Pizza Pit and Welch Avenue Station it has completely changed. For me, there are so many memories that regardless of how much it changes, it will still be home.

    Best towns in Iowa

    Based upon reading through this thread, I have lived in some of the best towns in Iowa. I grew up on a farm near Waukon, went to college in Ames and have lived in Polk City for the last 20 years. They have all been great. NE Iowa is particularly amazing. Polk City has been great for raising a...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Why do teams continually try to run with Iowa? Very hard to beat Iowa at their own game. Need to slow it down, play defense and grind it out.

    ***NCAA Second Round: (7) Iowa State at (2) Stanford [Sun., 9:00 CT]***

    This loss goes on Fennelly. The last play call to Brown was terrible. Continuing to go to Audi when she clearly was not able to score against the Stanford bigs. Refusing to make a change. Finally, got Bristow some looks in the post but it was too late. Bad coaching cost us.

    I don’t understand that play at all

    ***NCAA Second Round: (7) Iowa State at (2) Stanford [Sun., 9:00 CT]***

    I would like to see us go with other options than Audi in OT. 3-20 shooting. Rest of the team is 21-37.

    The way we are shooting, if we keep turnovers under 15, we win for sure. If we can keep them under 20, we have a good chance.

    *** Official #25 Washington State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Gilbert had made a couple good plays on driving but generally playing completely out of control. That last drive was just bad basketball. 2-9 so far

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    This clip from Audi speaks to the joy in which she plays the game and lives life. She is so fun to watch. Caitlin could learn some life lessons from Audi.

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

    Curtis Jones plays well and under control every game. We either need Gilbert or Lipsey to not suck and we can beat anyone. Today, they are both sucking. 3-12 with 3 turnovers. Gilbert is particularly awful. Can’t win with only one guard.

    Williams & Blum Pod: Red alert on bowl season, Liberty Bowl thoughts & hoops wrap-up

    For me, how absolutely poorly we played and how unprepared we are is what matters. The reason it matters to me is because that game reminded me of other games this season and past seasons. I hate watching us lay an egg regardless of if it is a bowl game or regular season game. I am not...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Red alert on bowl season, Liberty Bowl thoughts & hoops wrap-up

    I think you are confusing 2 different things. Your comment about ISU fans needing to catch up to the times regarding bowl games is nonsensical. You are getting called out for that comment. The second thing that someone can be disappointed with the outcome of the game but excited about next...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Red alert on bowl season, Liberty Bowl thoughts & hoops wrap-up

    I listened to the podcast and it was a bit all over the place. You would be critical of ISU but then make excuses. You would compliment ISU fans but then say we need to catch up with the times. The one comment you made that did resonate with me was about how Campbell has a tendency to over...

    Liberty Bowl postgame thread

    I am still trying to process that game. I get that bowl games don’t really matter and this game has no real bearing on next year. But, I also expected ISU to come out play well and win. This was my first time traveling to a bowl game and frankly seeing that sort of effort is pathetic. I went...

    Survivor 45

    I would be good with that final 3. Emily has come a long way since day one.
