    Western Swing (Stanford/ASU), Jan. 4/6

    I'm curious how overweight Evan Frost was? A replay of the offseason and didn't come back to Ames where he was supposed to?

    Wendy Wintersteen & Jamie Pollard Address the Fans

    I'd pay attention to more of what he says and not how he says it. He's an accountant not a silver tongued marketer. "As we learned OU and TX INTEND to honor their grant of rights through 2025. IF that remains the case, we know the big 12 will continue to be viable..." My interpretation. You...

    Thoughts

    - It's fairly obvious to me that the divisiveness of this country has leaked into Cyclone Fandom. - The ISU MBB program has attracted more talent than EVER the last decade. Think it through. The problem is not players, it's roster make up and severe turnover (which leads to an identity crisis.)...

    Impossible Burger

    Full disclosure, I'm part of animal ag industry. Key points to remember 1. The environmental argument against animal ag specifically as it relates to greenhouse gas emissions is not well understood by most. 3.9% of all GhG emissions come from Animal Ag. The vast majority comes from fossil...

    Best Dorm?

    That was right outside the door of our floor. Some picnic tables there. Lots of drunken cell phone calls to high school significant others out there in the first month. Many break ups witnessed. Admiral Nelson and Sailor Jerry often the sauce of choice. Smirnoff ICE for the ladies.

    Best Dorm?

    I lived in Birch Dana in 03-04. Would agree old RCA gives you an authentic college experience. Courtyard to east is cool. Don't know if Hixson-Leid eats into that now or not. Very unique floor plans. I hung out quite a bit in the 3 person room in Birch that was referenced. There is a single...

    ISU Coaches

    I agree, Paul Rhoads was a good coach. I disagree Paul left program in worse shape than he started it. He grew the fan base. He won games that Coach Mac never could. Road wins against top 25 teams. A win over a NC contender. I agree he never could find the right OC after Mensa. I don't think...

    Teaser trailer: Transfer U

    I think you're right and wrong. Iowa was not good that year. Iowa was a huge favorite going in, this was a mammoth upset. This win wouldn't mean as much if the bowl years under Mac didn't happen. They did though, and I believe the '98 Cy-Hawk game got it going. Regionally we were looked at...

    LOL You are a terrible troll.

    ***Iowa Dual (Saturday, Dec 10th)***

    Not sure why I forgot about track. Yes, the twitter feed is weak. As was the the live chat updates when they did those. I do think wrestling is a tough sport to do that well though.

    ***Iowa Dual (Saturday, Dec 10th)***

    Best way is to follow Iowa State Wrestling on twitter

    Can someone explain the technical violations on Meeks?

    CW back and forth with Jon Miller on twitter last night.....

    1. Jon Miller is an educated and well-spoken version of a tavern hawk. Grew up in 80's and his Dad liked to watch Hayden and Tom Davis games in the bar (that might be partial BS but that doesn't stop him.) He grew up in an era where ISU did a poor job of developing and promoting its Athletic...

    COLUMN: Learned more about program than team in rout of Chicago State

    Good points on the program coming a long way. It may be true that this is the best attendance we've seen for November non con games against low majors in history. But I think that during the Floyd/Eustachy years you could say the same thing from the perspective that non con games were very...
