    ***2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament***

    They must just assign some teams based on region. Nebraska is overall 13, yet their first game is against SDSU with a record of 24 - 31. So probably one of the worst teams in the tournament (at least based on that record) buses down to Lincoln to give the Huskers an easy automatic win? Why would...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    That sounds right. I almost watch no B1G or SEC now. If they split, then they don't even exist to me. Much like LIV golf. I've never seen it on TV at all, just don't care.

    ***2026 Iowa State Football Season Thread***

    Well, sadly, there are likely G5 schools with more money to buy a team than ISU has. Like Memphis for one. All you need is one or two big donors. I don't think it is breaking news that we have to find the hidden gems, not the proven players. Until one of us wins the Super Lottery.

    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    I was about 30 when I learned that not everybody has tinnitus. I always just assumed everyone hears tones in their head.

    Don't know about his football skills, but this guy has really thick, muscular legs and a low center of gravity. That can be a combination making a guy hard to tackle.

    Best Campustown Bars by Decade

    1970's Cave-In was the popular bar, on Welch just north of Lincolnway. But my favorite find back then was Pizza House on Lincolnway. They had this crazy thing they did where they gave you free refills on your Coke to go with your pizza. Back in 1972 or 1973, that was unheard of.

    I’m an introvert, do I need help?

    My daughter is a therapist and she thinks I am not okay. So, yeah, there would be people who say you could use some help. I cover both sides. I love to be alone, it's just my comfort zone. My daughter says I might be on the autism spectrum. Well, that's OK if I am because I'm not going to change...

    Donovan Davis announced on May 6th that he committed to the Cyclones!!!

    Wish we could count on having players stay for their college career. If so, we would have some great teams in the next few years. We still may, but just have to rebuild every time someone leaves. Fortunately, we seem to have a coach who just plows ahead to success, whichever path it requires. So...

    2026-27 Starting Lineup and rotation predictions

    I just remember in November thinking, well this Pleta guy for being what 21 or 22 years old, sure doesn't look like he's ready for Big 12 basketball. But then by March he is rebounding like an animal and scoring pretty well around the basket. Huge development over 4 months. So, I feel like now...

    Williams & Blum: Is Iowa State’s 2026-27 basketball roster final?

    I guess I always assume if someone isn't playing, it's due to defense. So if he stays, then Mitchell has to know what he needs to work on. So, yeah, you would expect him to make that improvement.
