    Cyclone History, 1983

    Student section. They were some of the best seats back then, especially if you got there early. Watching that shot drop was just unreal.

    Hey old farts. What did they call Jack Trice in 1977? It certainly wasn't "Cyclone Stadium"!

    We had an old box of negatives digitized last year. Found some photos from the construction. Hope this shows up OK, because I had to reduce the size in order to upload. If this works, I have a couple of others.

    Evolution of ISU Offense

    I cannot argue that offensive stats have been pretty decent the past couple of years. Manning must be doing a decent job because he was up for the Broyles award a couple of years ago. Campbell isn't dumb and I don't think he has a blind spot toward Manning. Predictable offenses aren't a bad...

    Williams & Blum Pod: ISU Football in 2022; analyzing basketball in the Big 12 race

    I’m here too. The same script played itself out multiple times (fall behind early…. scramble to get back in the game… come up short). There’s something structurally wrong with the offense. Unlike the defense, there is no identity to hang their hat on. Going to miss Purdy a lot. Despite too many...

    I’m open minded. What should have happened?

    Time to let it go. Aranda, Bahannon etc. aren’t Briles.

    Conference stuff matters. Also, can’t stand Kiffin and $EC. Go Bears.

    I was laughing when Iowa lined up to "go for it" with their try-to-draw-them-offsides hard count. Watching Ferentz all these years, you just knew there was no way he would snap it. It has to be so frustrating to watch that conservative approach time after time. It was a short yard and Iowa has...

    Is anyone on here going to watch the CFP Championship?

    Not going to watch because I am sick of the $EC and the ESPN marketing machine that pimps this playoff stuff all year long so they can create Tuesday night studio programming during the season and endless halftime takes on upcoming playoff games during bowl season. It's manufactured hype that...

    You’re right. I can’t argue with the eye test and the results. It’s just getting old having the southeast US and Alabama domination of the sport. It was more fun when there was some drama and randomness around the end of the season. Hopefully we cycle back into national parity when Saban hangs...
