    JP's next big hire

    Jim Tressel. Jim Tressel. Jim Tressel. It's an urban legend I just made up that if you invoke his name three times, he appears in the Jacobsen Building to sign a contract as JP's new big hire. It's in our AD's DNA to make a splash hire that everyone doubts and complains about right away. Or...

    Even Texas Fans Know We Got Robbed

    Read some of the article and most of the comments. Some real honesty from UT fans. Texas beats Iowa State; we are the hollow men - Burnt Orange Nation I'm not a fan of moral victories, but we looked good and played well on national television. The general viewing public knows we got...

    A Leader is Born

    It was always the younger, lower ranking guys who became the bright spots at a command during dark times when I was in the military. They're not bogged down with expectations, their minds are open and they're usually focused on team success (my personal experience). People like Luke Knott are...

    West Virginia Looks Beatable

    Based on what I am seeing from WVU today, they are beatable for us. I don't take anything for granted, usually, but I will go out on a limb and say that we're much better than William & Mary. W&M is taking it to WVU on both sides of the ball.

    Silver Linings Playbook: Jake Knott

    I didn't bother to read the rest of the posts here to see if something similar was written. But does anyone else have the feeling that something incredibly special is going to happen with Jake Knott at Philadelphia? I am very, very partial to Cyclones of course. But after watching...

    Vatterott College and San Diego State are playing

    Yup, I'm still a little bitter. A school with about as much tradition and pride as Lindsey Lohan's underwear after mug night is probably going to be in the sweet 16.

    Professional options for Will, Korie, Chris and Tyrus

    Selfishly, I want Tyrus, Babb, Korie and Will to go to Italy to play professionally next year. All of them have the ability to play there. It doesn't pay as much as the NBA, but the perks are immense: travel, "bella vita" and they would be treated like absolute royalty in northern Italy. The...

    "Wooooo" or "Hooooo"

    My main takeaway from tonight's game is that we are awesome. But another thing that I noticed was the incessant "woooo" or "hoooo" being yelled as though through multiple megaphones almost every time we brought the ball up the court. I assume it is a Notre Dame-specific mating call. It was...

    Black History Month and Jack Trice Stadium

    It's a little late in the month of February to be bringing this up, but my normal Thursday evening running route doesn't take me past Jack Trice Stadium. I got goosebumps running past it today. I was thinking about how it was our student body, not administrators, who pushed for the naming in...

    Iowa State Classic -- Saturday

    The women's 5000m indoors here in Ames Saturday will be the coolest track race I've seen in person since the Roma GP 1 mile in 1999. It's a stacked field where three Cyclone all-Americans -- Betsy Saina, Meaghan Nelson and Dani Stack -- will be racing to qualify for the ultra-competitive 5000m...
