    ESPN's Streaming Service Will Cost Up To $30/mo

    Interesting news. Maybe the next evolution of this a la carte revolution is getting the "Iowa State Package" or "insert NBA Team / college school / MLB Team here" package? Interesting to think about. There's probably a fair number of people like me that really don't watch TV but watch a fair...

    Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread

    I think you might be right. I should have Google searched a female rose-breasted grosbeak. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread

    I saw the weirdest bird I've ever seen at our feeder this morning in central Iowa. I wish I would have snapped a photo, but it was gone before I could. I've spent 10 minutes searching the internet for images, and the best way I could describe it was a mix of a Groove-Billed Ani with a Brown...

    Help: I’m going to be a father

    Congratulations, first and foremost. You are obviously a thoughtful person if you're asking for advice and have a good heart. Follow your conscience with your child(ren) and always remember you are setting an example for him or her (or them, perhaps someday). Your kids will emulate you and your...

    1 gorilla vs 100 men

    That's exactly where my brain went. Haha. Love it.

    LA proposal to raise taxes on sportsbooks and give money to D1 athletic programs

    Thanks for posting this. That’s interesting. If you want it to happen in Iowa, write your legislators NOW. There’s limited time left in this legislative session and they won’t be back in session again until January of next year. My initial inclination was: we don’t need to be funding college...

    Wisconsin’s Jensen Commits

    Thanks for posting. Sad to lose your father at such a young age. Hope he finds love and support here at ISU among his teammates. Glad to have him as a Cyclone! Welcome to the Family!

    25-26 way too early rankings

    I am hopeful as well. It's hard to tell if his game will translate in the way we hope it will. His highlight videos are really enticing. Ball in Europe has improved tremendously over the past 30 years, but still difficult to see. If he is the "Diamond in the Rough" we all hope he'll be, he could...

    Yes, lots of reasons to be positive with this pick-up!

    Heise seemed like he had more confidence later in the year. We need that Heise. That said, he seems to know his limits as well, and that's also important. Bottom line: the Heise we had at the end of the year was great. Hitting big shots at a good percentage, and being a little more aggressive. I...

    Iowa State Transfer Tracker 2025

    Agree. My hope in the transfer portal is that we snag a little bit taller, little more athletic, little bit more physically imposing Hason Ward type player. Haha. I realize the player I'm describing is probably an NBA player if he's an improvement on Hason Ward in those areas, but man it would...

    Iowa State Transfer Tracker 2025

    Yeah, Nojus is intriguing. Maybe it's "Cyclone colored glasses" but I wouldn't write Nojus off yet. He's pretty athletic, has good size and can shoot fairly well. As Pride said, if he works on his handles and defense (which both can be improved quite a bit) he could become a solid contributor...

    NCAA Tournament Champions Statistics

    Yeah, watching Duke share the basketball and play as a team is pretty impressive. They've rolled through good competition. Even with Flagg out they won the ACC tournament. Flagg is a generational talent, but like ClonesFTW stated, teams with high freshman usage typically don't win it all...

    Lunardi and Palm now project Iowa State as a 4-seed as Selection Sunday nears

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. We suffered a lot of injuries this year. "Incredibly disappointing" seems a bit harsh given all our injuries. We still got a 4 seed for ***** sake. Put yourself in the shoes after the final Steve Prohm year or McDermott. Got to beat good teams regardless if...

    *** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs #17 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

    Great effort. That's a really, really good BYU team. Tip of the cap to them. Rest up for the Tournament. Anything can happen in the Big Dance.

    Big 12 Tournament Stories - KC

    Najera was a Kelvin Sampson-type player. He was physical and tough. I remember some of his battles with Fizer.

    2024-2025 MBB computer projections thread

    I see your point about Jefferson, and it's a good one in general. Nice to have Jefferson's defensive versatility among the Bigs. However, my bigger point was a concern about us continuing our hard trap defense. We love to trap the corner (coffin corner) and for good reason, right, and we also...
