    Next Big Facility Upgrade

    Nope, but if you stand still it will crumble around you. Hilton is great...you can keep it that way and expand the revenue generation without pricing the seats out of the average fans wallet. Phog (which you mention in later posts) has the luxury of requiring a huge donation to get tickets...

    2014-2015 TV deals?

    I just made the move from Mediacom to DirectTV...My experience has been great so far, granted its out of season. I do miss Cyclones.TV on Mediacom, but I still can see the programs on demand and just haven't gotten the Chromecast set up yet. . I was having the same feelings as your wife...I...

    ESPN Power Rankings Update

    It is nonsensical as a "stand alone" stat. However, if you factor in possessions per game...then it becomes effective efficiency. CFH coaches for maximum possessions with encouraging early open shot taking. It may lower points/possession but there is a reason we were the only team to score 70...

    RECRUITING: Reasons to be excited about JUCO commits

    There are holes in the '11 and '12 classes...that's why you bring in Juco's. The point of the article is that we need really good players to fill those holes and we got some who are in a whole lot more demand than we were able to get in those classes. Additionally, the holes they are filling...

    Peterson: End Zone Bowled in within 5 years

    Well, let me be the one to remind you. The Reimen family stepped up when asked by the University/ISU Foundation and donated millions to develop that area as a gateway to the University. IMHO, That is why it needs to be protected...it isn't just a garden. There is still plenty of area within...

    Paul Rhoads Interview

    Thanks for the link...it actually sounded like Brando had watched some highlights/tape of the Tulsa game. Asked some very solid questions. CPR as usual put ISU's best foot forward

    Not to make light of the PSU situation, but...

    You may be right, but more likely is that the purpose of the Endowment has little to do with PSU athletics. Football has funded or pulled in athletic donations well in excess of need for the Athletic Department to help fund the endowment over the years. Several major donors are ****** off and...

    Then you didn't read closely enough...he listed proven recruits and several unproven recruits who have demonstrated their talent by how they're rising up the depth charts and playing as true freshmen.
