    MBB: Iowa State's Player Era Tournament Opponents Released

    My best guess is 18 teams in six groups of three. Play the two others in your group. Finish first, second, or third. Play the same place from another group. So there will be three “champions” once the format plays out.

    Looks like the flag of the New California Republic.

    WNBA expansion to 18 teams

    The WNBA has kept the trademarks of former teams (e.g., Houston Comets, Detroit Shock, Cleveland Rockers, Charlotte Sting, etc.) "live" since those teams moved or folded outright. Doesn't mean they have to reuse them, but they have the option to, and sometimes already having all the paperwork...

    Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)

    The problem with "I-State" isn't any specific design choice or choices. Everybody has to deal with these color inconsistencies. They're not really the problem. It's the whole concept. It's bland. Generic. Tasteless. Nothing about it is potentially iconic or "us." Are we "I-State" like...

    Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)

    I-State is just a bad logo on cardinal or gold backgrounds. It’s much better on black or white. I think it’s a generic create-a-team logo. Nothing about it says Iowa State, ISU, Cyclones, Ames, Jack Trice, Cy, the Big 12, or anything else. But if we’re stuck with it then use it as best you can.

    I was kidding. Your "I'm not moving on!" ethos reminded me of Onoda. Have to admire his/your dedication if anything!

    Iowa State Uniform Discussions (update: new basketball unis)

    I wouldn't try and bring the 80s look back wholesale. I was just saying we're already reincorporating many of its design elements... so why not go all the way taking what was best from that era (a bad era for football but most our eras are bad but at least they looked good at the time) and...

    Seeing the cardinal helmet with the gold "CYCLONES" script with white outlines is nice... But that just makes me think how a gold helmet with cardinal "CYCLONES" and white trim... ...would melt everybody's face off. Yeah yeah yeah it's associated with the bad 80s teams but we've probably...

    Director set for next Bond film

    I'd rather auteurs like him were making something more creative than Bond #28. Or, you know, God Emperor of Dune. Love me some beefswelling.

    Who will be the leading scorer for the 25-26 season?

    Him drilling those left-handed threes in KC and Milwaukee was hilarious.

    Who will be the leading scorer for the 25-26 season?

    Last I saw on here they were hoping for him to arrive this past weekend. No news either way on if he did.
