    USMNT vs Paraguay Gameday Thread - World Cup 2026

    USA! USA! USA! The long wait (for some of us;-) is over. I believe that we will win! U.S. is favored by about half a goal I've seen. Hope they come out on the front foot looking to be aggressive and score. This is probably the most individually talented USMNT we've ever had at a World Cup, but...

    ISU to Keep the Top 25 Streak Going!?

    I love seeing this kind of love for our team next year. Apparently, ESPN's writer thinks we can keep our long Top 25 streak going and start next year ranked. Me too. Love seeing that TJ is already so respected in the profession and our teams so respected they are placing us in the top 25 (and...

    MBB - Big 12 Tournament Tiebreakers

    My apologies if this topic is already posted somewhere; if so, please feel free to merge. I'm wondering what the tiebreakers are if say, ISU wins this weekend, KU wins, and BYU beats Texas Tech. This would result in a 3 way tie for 4th place between ISU, KU and TTU at 12-6 in conference for...

    MBB Rotation and March Results vs Early Season Results

    I've been thinking about the great nonconference success Otzleberger teams have had over his years. This year they're 9-0 in the nonconference this year and have beaten the number 1 team at their place and another top 25 team at a neutral site, and have some other wins that could be NCAA tourney...

    Ex-Coaches Speak High Praise for TJ Otzelberger and the Team After St. John's Win

    This video popped up on YouTube with two former long-time and good coaches (Norm Roberts, an assistant at Kansas for years, and Matt McCall, who's a lesser known former coach of UMASS and somewhere else), singing the praises for Otzelberger and the team. So fun to hear. What Roberts says about...

    Tre Bell Interception

    Was anyone else impressed with that Tre Bell interception yesterday? Good Lord! Man, he put on the extra jets to beat the man he was covering to the ball by a couple paces and made an incredible diving catch. That was a big play and snuffed out Arkansas State's chances. I've watched him...

    28 Team College Football Playoff??!

    According to this news article the Big Ten is floating the idea of a 24 or 28 team CFP. That's just insanity. So, an extra 5 playoff games potentially on top of a 12 game season. Note that the proposal would eliminate conference championships. Still, a 17 game season is NFL level of punishment...

    Kansas University Donation

    Wow. Think ISU will ever have a donor give this much? Truly game-changing from a facilities perspective. $300 Million!! https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/45963661/kansas-target-football-upgrades-new-revenue-300m-gift

    Kelvin Sampson Pregame Presser with Iowa State

    Kelvin Sampson’s pregame comments on Iowa State, Gameday and their program are nice. He’s so complimentary of ISU, our players, coaches and fans. Hard not to like the guy these days and be impressed with what he’s built at Houston. Here are his comments from earlier today:

    Mainstream Networks Coverage of the Cy-Hawk Game

    So nice to see big names in the college basketball industry lead-off and talk about the Cy-Hawk rivalry and gush about our Cyclones. See here: Fun.

    Deion Sanders and CU are good for the Big XII

    Got to admit, CU and Deion draw so many more eyeballs and respect to our conference now that the big football programs (OUT) are gone. Hope Deion stays for many years. I think it will only help our conference. It's hard watching it slide into a clear third or fourth in the pecking order and as...

    RV Lot Visitor For Baylor Game

    I read this in the Ames Tribune and thought this was pretty cool: https://www.amestrib.com/story/news/local/2024/09/20/discovery-channel-rv-there-yet-patrice-kevin-mccabe-filming-iowa-state-football-tailgating/75292514007/ In brief, a TV show is visiting the RV lot for the Baylor game, as well...

    ISU Bowl Projection

    I can't handle the excitement of seeing this: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/bowls/predictions/ Cyclones projected in the CFP and hosting a game at that against Oregon!? Yes, please. I know, it's way too early and I wouldn't bet a dime on us making the playoffs, but this is fun to...

    Men's Big XII Basketball Tourney Thread - Non-ISU Games Discussion

    How about BYU jumping all over UCF right now. Wow. They can really shoot it. I'm hoping ISU gets hot like that for the next month:-) If so, LOOK OUT!! Anyway, started this thread to discuss the other Big XII tourney games that don't involve ISU. Please merge if one already exists, but I...

    Question for Soil Scientists / Agronomists / Farmers About Rain on Nearly Frozen or Frozen Soil

    I was wondering if the rain last night / early today "soaked into" the ground or did it mostly run-off into our waterways and cause more erosion? It seems the ground is generally dry and could use more moisture, both for farmers and natural areas or even people's lawns. When the ground seems...

    Converting VHS to Digital in Central Iowa Area

    We have some old VHS tapes with a lot of wonderful and sentimental family memories on them. I just popped them in the ol' VHS player (which I'm not sure actually works as it's been many years) and the tapes seem to be horribly worn and grainey / worse. So, I'm wondering if anyone has a...

    Student Attendance at Baylor (and other break) Games?

    Just wondering if any of the students out there were able to purchase or receive vouchers for tickets to the Baylor game and other "winter break" games (like UT and TTU) if you had standard season tickets? I know in past years the atmosphere has been more tame inside Hilton without much student...

    Tristan Enaruna PT

    Hope Tristan Enaruna keeps his head up. He only played about 9 minutes in the game today, yet still contributed solidly. 4 points, 1-2 from the field, made both free throws, two rebounds and a steal. He's an important piece to this team and we don't have much depth. Just hope he'll keep his...

    Covid Testing Related Question in Central Iowa

    Has anyone gotten tested in central Iowa (Ames, DSM) for the purposes of air travel within the last month or so? I'm wondering as I may have to take a trip this December to a foreign destination which requires proof of a negative Covid test within 5 days of depart for this destination. I have to...

    Ant or Termite Infestation? / Am I doomed?

    I found these critters exploding out of a crevice outside our house where a concrete slab meets the basement foundation wall and the driveway. Basically, the intersection of those places. We live in Ames. What kind of ants are these, or are they termites? Can someone identify? There were...
