    John Walters' successor

    Blum was great as the color guy last night. Could easily replace Walters or Heft when the time comes. Unfortunately for radio listeners, Blum will be the next GM of cyclone athletics once NIL goes in house

    *** Official #5 Marquette vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    My guess is that the coaches have challenged him to be more multi-faceted in his game this year. They want him to shoot more, but they want him to be more than a catch and shoot guy. I think he's been challenged to take his defenders off the bounce and score at all 3 levels. And he's still...

    There were a couple times last night where he passed up an open 3 to drive to the basket. Part of his growth will be learning when to shoot, when to drive and pull up, when to drive all the way. One play in the second half particularly, he passed up the 3, drove, passed up the wide open elbow...

    He'll be a great replacement for Oklahoma State's departing 25 year old QB

    My biggest concern is Marquette's ability to create turnovers. I could see this being a game where Gilbert struggles running the point in that regard and ends up with something like 7-8 to's himself, and the team with 15+

    West Virginia opening

    I don't think playing your final 2 years under Anthony Becht (even if he is Rocco's dad) can really hurt your NFL chances.

    West Virginia opening

    I've been a Diamondbacks fan for 25 years and he's always been a cheap ass building their rosters. Just been saving it all to dump into WVU apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Kendrick

    Tough for Houston. Run the gamble and schedule the top 2 teams in the SEC early - they and the BXII look amazing if they win, but instantly in the hole if they lose. Arizona on the other hand just looks like a mediocre basketball team this year.

    West Virginia opening

    The bolded part is what recruiting ranking and natural talent can't replace. Avery Johnson on Saturday is the perfect example. He's a very good QB because he has a massive amount of natural talent. But when the game's on the line, he runs backwards 22 yards and takes a safety. When they have 1...

    NET seems pretty pointless this early in the year

    Is Dayton a top-25 team this year? Did they just shoot out of their minds against UNC yesterday? Fill me in a bit on them

    For seeding purposes in March - having that Auburn win in the back pocket would have taken away some of the pressure for the Uconn (presumably) and Marquette games. Absolutey HAVE to win one of those two. Cannot go 0-3 in your big non-con games and expect better than a 3 seed

    A few thoughts after having a full night to digest to digest the game: 1) When ISU is 100%, they are nearly unstoppable. I was really impressed by their energy, activity, ball movement, intensity, and quickness in the first half. 2) That said, the 2nd half showed they don't have the depth or...

    LIke someone has already mentioned I think the first 10 minutes decide the game. I'm a bit concerned our backcourt will have a few sloppy turnovers and we'll miss some bunnies as we adjust to the speed of the game. If ISU is within 6-8 at the under-12, I'll feel good about our chances

    Poll: ISU -7 vs Utah

    My heart tells me "@ Kansas State on their senior night in the snow last year". My head tells me I will have zero fun watching this game and even if we win I'll be frustrated

    Jaguar Rebrand

    I dont think i've seen an improved rebrand this century. I spend alot of time in the scotch whisky community, and they've had several rebrands of iconic whiskies that have just been atrocious. Folks have pointed out the same thing with modern architecture.

    What are the bowl options for Iowa State still in pla

    If we go 10-2 I believe there's still a scenario where we finish 4th from the tie-breakers. I wonder how we would fare head to head against BYU, ASU, or CU in the bowl selection. Would loser of the championship game automatically get the Alamo?
