    Cyclone Sunday Bruns

    Nothing against KO, but Karl Nelson deserves to be in this conversation. He had a solid career as an OT in the NFL that would have been extended longer if he didn't have to battle being diagnosed with Hodgkins.

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    It's clear the Kwesi and the front office have tried to provide Flores with the versatility that he needs in players to run his preferred defense. Most of the free agent signings were on defense. They now have CB's who can play man or zone. They also have multiple OLB/DE's who have the skills to...

    Talk to me about Jim Walden

    The lack of roster numbers was the most obvious factor that limited Walden's success at ISU. At an outing a couple of years into his tenure he talked about another issue that he felt made it hard for him to succeed at ISU. I'm not sure of all of all the details, but he claimed that the NCAA put...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    It's looking like that Royce needs to find a way to stay in the lineup for 74 games so that he can break the single season homerun record.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Huge start for Pablo today. Have to hope that the reassurance that his arm is fine and that the drop in velocity last outing was just a one time deal. If not, either losing him or seeing a continuing struggle would be the biggest loss that the Twins could have.

    Which Iowa border state would you be most afraid of in a state vs state civil war?

    It has to be South Dakota. They have the most mountains. Borders and rivers did nothing to stop the Russians in Red Dawn. Holding out in the mountains was the winning strategy.

    Momcilovic to lottery pick

    He won't be ready for the NBA until he gets to the point that he demands the ball and doesn't have to be told by coaches and teammates to take shots. He needs to be a prolific shooter/scorer to have a role on an NBA team. He might develop this mindset next year, but I also expect that it might...

    Kelvin Sampson post game

    Can't be a official post-game if he didn't pull out a prepared script and spin his team's wins while ignoring their losses.

    Tang Postgame Comments

    The team that lost 10 of their last 15 games lost by 19 in a must win game. Also conference tournament wins are a separate category and do not change your conference record. Even if they had made a run to the final game, they can only claim 8 conference wins.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    We could go with the ceiling camera, but that might require too much effort. The current plan to distract the opposing team with a combination of the dance team, mop crew, and fan phones has worked so far. If some team is able to block out the distractions and notice the drone camera hovering 15...

    *** Official Oklahoma State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    It might have been 20-30 years ago that an Omaha bound 727 landed by mistake at Council Bluffs. The approach to Omaha did line up with the CB facility, but it was 7 miles away from the planned destination. The plane actually landed OK, but the runway way was too short to get it back in the air...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Moon was very good, but he was signed not drafted. The Vikings history has largely been to acquire QBs through trades or signings rather than drafts.

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    It's been a dismal track record for the entire 60+ years of their history. One franchise level - Tarkenton. One borderline franchise - Culpepper. Three serviceable level for a decent team - Tommy Kramer, Wade Wilson, & Brad Johnson. The rest were at best backup level or below average short-term...

    ***2023 NCAA Volleyball Tournament Thread***

    If it wasn't bad enough that Fran's team had to deal with the Wilson ball in their recent tournament loss, Nu is blaming their dismal performance in the championship on cold air movement on the court coming from the ice surface below. It's amazing that it didn't affect the ball movement on the...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Can't blame the receivers too much with having to put their lives on the line waiting for a Dobbs throw. He has proven to be as bad as it gets at waiting too long, throwing behind the receiver, and telegraphing the target. DBs have a field day lighting up receivers constantly being put in...

    Robert Jones Improvement

    When Rob's transfer to Iowa State was announced, much of the reaction on CF was rather lukewarm. There were questions about why TJ would bring in a guy who didn't put up impressive numbers at Denver and wasn't even a full-time starter there. In one of his early interviews, BRE didn't talk about...

    Old buddy Rhule

    Arik Gilbert, one of Matt Rhule's finest. Former 5 star TE recruit transferred from LSU to Georgia to Nebraska. Rhule said that he brought him to Nebraska because he had the "right people" to work with him given his troubled past. Matt might need some new people for players to work with. Less...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Kene sure has a reason to ask "why me?" His entire career at ISU was impacted by the achilles injury. He spent most of his 1st year in the league learning the finer points of being a RB that he missed out on by not getting reps in college. Last year was a new system during which he also missed...

    Given what we're all assuming with Dekkers, who do you want to start at QB?

    It is also vital for the entire team that you start game 1 with the guy who gives you the best chance to win at that point - not what might happen a year down the road. All 85+ guys on the team need to buy into the concept that everyone has to earn their playing time. If the season doesn't play...

    Reclining on an airplane

    Tall people do. They also think that they have the right to sit in front of you at a concert or sporting event and invade your viewing space. Don't get me started on how they believe that they own the space above the rim and have the right to block shots and hog all the rebounds. The world...
