Alert: WILLIAMS: CF launches Patreon page, please read
Speaking from hard-earned experience ... PayPal is notorious for freezing extremely large amounts of money for long periods of time and providing nonexistent customer service. Payment processors like Square or Stripe are infinitely better than PayPal. Patreon was a great, overdue move for...- Kagavi

Due to Pathetic Recruiting of Bigs, NCAA Streak Ending!
Hate to say, but still not sold on Coach. I get it. He's new, he got lucky to inherit a great team from a Cyclone icon who hangs in the rafters, but let's call a spade a spade. Are some of transfers the best we can expect? Let's recap, we beat Kansas but got bounced in the round of 32, lose one...- Kagavi

Who do YOU think killed JFK?
Oswald had a personal vendetta against Governor Connally, not JFK. Oswald may simply have missed his shot and in his haste, missed again. A missing page (possibly buried by the FBI) from Oswald's address book supports this theory. From a Los Angeles Times story last fall... -

Mpls TV Station Reporting tonight on Jack Trice Death
Folks, I can't emphasize enough how much research there is in this book that isn't found elsewhere. As Steve says here, it was targeted towards young readers, but the information is not, so if you care even just a modicum about Jack, consider picking up the book. I own it myself and nearly all... -
Mpls TV Station Reporting tonight on Jack Trice Death
Can't tell you how fired up I get when I see Jack's story being shared by even more people! Be sure to catch the ultra-rare picture of Jack as a kid at 2:04 in the video! In addition to my own work featured, here are some further relevant links about the other people involved: John Rosengren is... -
Can't believe the team will miss the tournament
Thanks to everyone for the debate. Some thoughts to your thoughts below: Whoa, getting excited there. Please point to where I stated fans should expect ISU to be a blue blood. "Expecting" versus "hoping" might be where we diverge, due to the inherent advantages that other Big 12 teams enjoy...- Kagavi

Can't believe the team will miss the tournament
BTW, I agree. I think the team makes the tournament. Just musing upon historical trends, etc.- Kagavi

Can't believe the team will miss the tournament
Has it really come to this? Seems like a billion years ago (in reality, 2014) that we were headed to Madison Square Garden full of hope. The team had NBA players and a charismatic NBA player turned coach. Why has it gone so bad? The non-conference schedule was a bummer, including the road...- Kagavi

How quickly can ISU become an Under Armour School??
Actually, we are. You heard it here first. One of the first things to roll out will be custom XXXI Air Jordan shoes in ISU colors. Next will be football uniforms in, believe it or not, navy blue and actual gold. Something about the campus water + tradition. Ok, I lied. Shoe mockup was a...- Kagavi

OT: Himalayan salt lamps
Interesting. I'm always open to things that challenge the conventional status quo, so I looked into this briefly. TL/DR: No. Long version via Snopes: Caltech chemist Jack Beauchamp hooked up one of these salt lamps to his lab's quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer and the machine failed to... -
#RaiseTheStandard
Yep, it immediately caught my eye. Things that make you go hmmmm.... As mentioned in my tweet, I wrote a story this past August exploring the true gold vs yellow option for Iowa State branding: http://www.kagavi.com/choosing-jack-trice-yellow-or-classic-gold/ The takeaway? ISU branding combo... -
Would having the success of Louisville right now be worth having a scumbag like Petrino as Coach
Looking back at the history of college football, there's a pretty clear correlation between cheating and winning. The latest piece I did over at WRNL showed how Michigan State basically cheated their way into the Big Ten over Iowa State. Like most schools, Iowa State has cheated in the past... -
That burnt out feeling...
Took the plunge, left a management job to start Kagavi, never been happier. Couldn't have done it without my wife's support. That was a few years ago. You talk about the obvious factors like mortgage, cars, etc. These are things I've questioned heavily in recent years. It's all about keeping the... -
Feedback: 5 days later ... Bugs, ideas, etc.
Yep. This feature is apparently only available if logged in--why? I don't log in hardly ever, thus there is no blue dot showing for me. Additionally, not being able to view attachments unless logged in ought to be changed.- Kagavi

Seeing as how I'm rarely logged in: On the RECENT POSTS page (when not logged in) using a desktop iMac (Safari + Chrome), these are my beef-a-roni beefs: Page is overrun by political & in-state rival posts.

*New Uniform Thread*
Actually, I would posit Notre Dame has a long history of alternate uniforms, used both to gain an edge on the field, as well as a motivational ploy. It was during the 1921 game against Iowa that the Irish used their green jerseys for the first time. Thus, if ND wasn't doing something like the... -
*New Uniform Thread*
Kagavi bat signal activated ... Here's ISU's away uniforms in 1961 at Boston College. You can get an idea of both the true gold and cardinal used. (From my 2013 story.) -
Friday OT #1 - When I was a kid...
Interesting topic. I did the usual variety of extracurriculars from sports to boy scouts, but IMO children are often over scheduled. There's no harm in letting kids try a variety of things to see how they like them, but I think the only thing that should be mandatory is learning multiple... -
Here's some Gold Rush helmets for ISU
Found myself thinking this morning about the Klondike Gold Rush and Iowa State. It was in 1899 that Iowa State made the decision to change the school colors from black, silver, and gold (purple sometimes, too) to cardinal and gold. At the same time, gold mania was gripping America once again...
