    Now that is passion!!

    Paul Rhoads has met and exceeded every expectation I would have had for a head coach. He has hired great coordinators, seems to prepare the team well, shows game management skills, he is passionate, and he appears to be a man of integrity. It's a great day to be Cyclone. I am full of...

    Official NDSU @ ISU Game Thread

    It seems to me that we met expectations tonight, not much more or much less than that. The defense has most of the issues that we suspected they would and the offense showed signs of life.

    ames football

    I'm not sure that Johnston is an "average-at-best" team. Coach Brian Woodley has done a remarkable job of building the Johnston program and, playing in the toughest division of the CIML, has consistently won. I'm not sure what last night's game says about Ames just yet, but I think it's safe...

    AP on Harrison Barnes

    Every time I hear him I am impressed with how well spoken he is. He was very complimentary of all six schools that he is still considering. I will say that, in my opinion, he seemed to have an easier time giving concrete reasons for the five other schools on his list than Iowa State. His...

    high school baseball

    The nature of high school students now is that they begin specializing in certain sports or activities earlier and earlier. Parents are convinced the only way their kids will play at the varsity level is if they focus them in on a single sport. Students used to be able to play 3 sports, sing...

    Cubs vs Reds July 24

    Wells has done a very good job since getting called up. If the Cubs start to play even half way decently they should pull away.

    Field of Dreams

    I watched it with my 10 year old son recently. You can bet that we took out our gloves and threw in the back yard that night.

    Slim Jim Shortage

    slim jim's tabasco is the only answer. I have to hare one soon. And of course you can't just eat one. I once saw a great Haweke named Jim Bernard eat just one at cheese and puppets and it disgusted me.

    My parents are both big ISU fans who live in Nebraska and take some pride in flying a big Cyclone flag on Husker game days.

    Tuesday Storm Thread

    Actually, KCCI was in weather coverage for quite a while, but WHO was not. KCCI just went back to Oprah about 4:40 (which has an all male audience today for some reason). The storm has seemed to lose some steam now that it hit the Metro.

    WWE Raw at Wells Fargo

    It was decently full. They only had curtains up covering the very top level. Lots of pretty big names...Triple H, Randy Orton, Cena, MVP, Kofi Kingston, etc. (yes I know all of their names). Again, I give them credit for doing three hours with only a very short intermission. It is also a...

    Anyone else willing to admit they went to the WWE event at Wells Fargo on Friday night? My son is a huge wrestling fan and we went. I have to give them credit, it was a 3 hour show and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

    Summer vacations

    I held this out of my first post in this thread (trip to San Antonio with my wife) because I don't consider this vacation...... Leaving on Sunday for three days in Branson with my in-laws. It is painful on so many levels.
