    Are you finally settled that Campbell is our “forever coach”?

    Feels fitting after beating KSU as we often say “our Bill Snyder”. But I also just saw again the Purdy interview on Bussin w the Boys. Given Matt’s contract extension, you feel comfortable that he’s our guy for the long long-term? Or is there going to continue to be rumors that keep you up?

    When to be a Karen/Old man w/ a lawn

    Collectively we abhor Karen’s and old men yelling at clouds. But where’s the line? Where’s your line? Do you have any specific borderline situations to share? ——Why I’m posting this topic—— Sunday evening I get home from a long day/night of work. What went from an evening shift ending at...

    UFC 316 — anyone watching?

    Couldn’t recall if I’ve see much in the way of UFC discussion threads. The Holland match was fun.

    Let’s Get Creative: all Iowa State never was, but what if team

    Who’s your starting 5 Iowa State prospects or bench players that you thought were the next Fred, Dedric, or Jamaal but never got the chance or you never shifted your expectations and struggled to accept reality. Maybe they went on to play somewhere else, maybe they never wore an ISU uniform, or...

    Iowa State’s Media Guides — pronunciation

    After hearing how these announcers just said Rancik I’m convinced we routinely mispronounce our own players names. Kent being one example, but felt like there were more. Also preparing myself for Jaylin No-Elle getting drafted instead of Jaylin Knoll

    Since baseless allegations were cast after KSU@ISU 24 — let’s make up our own

    Blame shifting, minimizing, and wild allegations of conspiratorial efforts keeping you from succcess is a great way to avoid accountability and true growth. But it can also be a lot of fun. Tang did it last year. And for the most part ended up looking like a dingus because of it. We’re not...

    Tamin Lipsey, Melvin Ejim, David Montgomery, Greg Eisworth, Beau Freyler... — standard bearers

    In reading Rob's article re: Tamin I couldn't help but think of some other "similar" players in recent ISU history. Maybe not in physical pain tolerance, but in grit, setting a cultural standard by example if not by vocal leadership. Thinking back to Settles question, "who would you trade?" In...

    NFL Coaching Legacy — Tomlin, Reid…

    Was just looking at Mile Tomlin’s record and considering his legacy. He’s 183-107-2 compared to Cowher’s 161-99-1. He’s won 1 Super Bowl similar to Cowher and has never finished below .500 while Cowher and Noll had 2 and 6 losing seasons respectively. He does have his fair share of WC game...

    Biggest Swings in a University’s Athletic Reputation

    Inspired by the all time AP record, where Iowa MBB is still fairly high despite not being all that great since the 80’s. What are the top programs which were powerhouses in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, but afterthoughts today? Likewise who are the front runners for Universities that were...

    Most notable lurkers past/present on Cyclone Fanatic

    I don't know if anyone caught it, but a few weeks/month back, Rahshon Clark resurrected and liked some old posts that mentioned him. Just saw an interaction with @JM4CY replying to @Gunnerclone and saw JM's avatar as Danny Mac. And thought to myself how funny it would be if Dan McCarney were...

    Pop-Tarts Day After Review

    Offense: Great plan, scheme and play design by Mouse Didn’t agree with some of the goal to go calls at the end of game, particularly not running the ball but they got in The TD pass to Hansen was a thing of beauty Excited we have more years of Buhr Sama is two steps “too fast” or too soon from...

    NBA Cup — Adam Silver Legacy

    It’s year two of the NBA Cup. The in-season tournament. Was curious how others feel about it. I’m typically a ‘purist’ when it comes to sports and their traditions but this feels like a relatively low impact way to manufacture interest when the games ‘matter less’ What are your thoughts.

    Are you not entertained?!

    Isn’t that what this is all about? Orr and Hoiberg got the rafters and floorboards rocking and never really won the big one. Larry had a deep run with promise. TJ has these boys and the program looking like it could be a pale blue blood. We should expect a solid product. We should hope for...

    Is this our first “random guy shooting 25% from 3pt but goes off” in our favor?

    I’m not an old head but recall the end of Orr era. I’m trying to remember a time ISU has done to an opponent what seems to so often happen *against* them. I can recall multiple banked threes from the same player and countless games where we get burnt by the “help off this guy” who shoots ~20%...

    Best Iowa State sports weekends/weeks

    This is shaping up to be a pretty epic week of ISU athletics. MBB tournament, last conference football game against a supposed rival, then wrestling against instate competition on ESPN. I’m sure there are women’s and other Olympic sports as well. My memory is horrendous, but feel like there’s...

    Inane postgame complaint thread

    Did we win? Did we lose? Does it matter? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! “Why didn’t Omaha start?” “Is JT Rock going to transfer” “These oversized cardboard cutouts aren’t proportional” Let the half baked sizzlin hot takes fly.
