    Got my Phil Steele!

    A couple tidbits: As mentioned before he has Klein fourth team AA. Oddly he has Klein ranked 13th at ILB and Knott ranked 8th at OLB, but Knott isn't an AA. He also has both of them as 1st team big XII but has the ISU linebackers ranked 5th in the conference.

    Who's with me?

    NO! I plan on taking an active roll in pursuing expansion of the BIG XII! Who's with me?!?!

    Get me lost in Iowa

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Gunder in NE Iowa. Not even technically a town anymore. Since it's no longer incorporated it's categorized as a "populated place". But you can still order the one pound Gunderburger at the Irish Shanti.

    Anthony Young story in ISD

    I don't have a problem with the fact that the kid got cut from the team. That stuff happens when there is so much pressure on the staff to win. There's no reason to keep a kid who is never going to help the team. But why cut him and then make him wait a month for his release? And why did he...

    Biggest Non-QB Draft Busts

    I think there are some wildly different ideas as to what constitutes a "bust". Some players may not live up to their draft pick, but if they put together a solid, decade long career in a league where the average career lasts 3-4 years, that isn't a bust in my opinion. To me a bust is a player...

    Biggest Non-QB Draft Busts

    He is one of 26 players to top 10,000 career rushing yards. Maybe didn't have the career he could have but definitely not a bust.

    spring game?

    Not much from the RB position today. Mostly because the O-line wasn't giving them much to work with. I thought Woody looked good. Maybe stronger, if that's possible. Lenz looked solid. I was really imposed by Tiller. Looks like he might contribute this season. I liked the way both Nealy and...

    STEELE!!!

    Not sure where all the love for Richardson is coming from. I could see him staring down his first option from the stands. When his first option wasn't there he would get happy feet. Not saying he won't be good, because his throws were accurate for the most part, but he's not in the running for...

    OMG Media Statements

    I think the "Not great defense" statements come from a couple of things; conference opponents shot 45% from the field against us this year (not great) and we were last in the conference for shot attempts allowed (not good). However, we only allowed 66 points per game because we defend the three...

    Your Bracket's Most Shocking Upset

    I don't pay that much attention to NBA draft projections. Has anybody projected him anywhere near a lottery pick?

    I only have two problems and both are easily fixed

    I agree that these are problems, but they aren't that easily fixed. These are things that can only be fixed through coaching. If the coach isn't focusing on shot selection in practice, and constantly reacting to bad decisions, the team will never change it's habits. A player can work on his...

    Fantasy baseball help

    I've never done head to head fantasy baseball before, but saves seem to be weighted really heavily in this league. I would load up on closers. And your biggest target should be pitchers who can pitch a shutout, Verlander and Halliday come to mind first. Hitting seems pretty straight forward...

    Kindle Fire v Nook Tablet

    If you have limited access to the cloud, the fact that the Tablet has twice as much internal memory, plus an SD slot, is kind of a big deal.

    Recruit you're most excited for

    Short term - Duaron Williams. I think he could be contributing next year. Long term - Grant Rohach. I think the reason he wasn't more highly recruited was his size.

    Higher NBA Draft Pick Royce or HB?

    Royce isn't ready for the NBA yet. He needs another year to improve. Work on help-side defense, develop a consistent jump shot, get better at establishing post position without the ball. And of course stop psyching himself out at the line.

    Release: ISU names Todd Sturdy WR's coach

    I interpret "passing game coordinator" as he will be designing plays, route combinations, using one play to set up another, etc. but that Mess will still be calling plays on game day.

    Who are your favorite pro teams and why?

    NFL - Dolphins. My dad was a fan, so I got to hear all the Griese and Czonka stories. Then they drafted Marino when I was 8. MLB - Cubs. Grew up watching them on WGN with my grandpa. NBA - Lakers. The Showtime teams of the 80's hooked me. NHL - Penguins. Don't watch much hockey, but it was...

    My observations at the OSU game

    Are you being a **** on purpose, or does your brain actually make this jump in "logic"? I'm not really complaining. Just making an observation and asking a question. I never said that these people shouldn't go to the game. I'm glad they want to support the program. I was just surprised they...
