    Motivation

    If every major news outlet reporting that ISU MBB is soft doesn't motivate this team, I don't know what will. As an athlete, you have pride, you like to be looked at as a winner, tough, strong. These guys are being called out in a way no athlete wants. We'll see how they respond but I'm...

    Pat Forde 10 Players that could win Heisman trophy

    Yeah baby Pat Forde Now, the world’s only linebacker-quarterback: Joel Lanning (30), Iowa State. The selling point: He’s an indispensable part of one of the biggest turnaround stories in recent memory, as the Cyclones have gone from 3-9 to 6-2 and tied for the Big 12 lead. Middle linebacker...

    Omaha World Herald weighs in on ISU

    Cyclones Celebrating - full story Quotes that make you feel warm and fuzzy "Less than two years into Matt Campbell’s ISU tenure, he has more victories over top-five opponents than the Huskers have in the past 18 years after the No. 25 Cyclones toppled No. 4 TCU 14-7 Saturday." - Just let that...

    Why do we struggle so much at FT's?

    Very frustrating. We play with a bunch of shooters yet we can't make FT's. I don't get it???

    Baylor Turnaround - Be patient folks

    While understanding we are all tired of losing. Go back and look at Baylor's turnaround. I'd say MC and staff have a similarly tall task to what Briles did and we aren't in the middle of TX. Year 1 - 4-8 with wins vs Northwestern St, Wash St, ISU, aTm Year 2 - 4-8 with wins vs Wake Forest...

    Medical Redshirt

    What are the rules for Medical Redshirt? Are there any, or is it a judgment call? I don't understand how Naz could get one after playing 8 games if Bundrage could not after playing 30 seconds. Anyone have any knowledge on the subject?

    Recruiting ISU Football

    Starting to look like it was more an issue with the recruiting skills or tactics of our previous coaching staff rather than our program or location of our school or any other excuse we've had. I know CPR appealed to some and certainly had the respect of his players, but we're seeing some stuff...

    Hawks - respect

    I know some will hate this. But if you watched that game last night you saw a total team effort and a group who bought in and absolutely left it all on the field. Those kids deserved to be in that game despite what many of us, including me, may have thought. Hats off to those Hawkeye players...

    Different Team with Lanning

    Watching Lanning gives me some hope for this team. Time will tell if he is a true difference maker but he seems to be giving us the spark most of us hoped for. Looking forward to having Lazard back and see how that combo looks.

    It should be Lanning's team starting now

    I think we have the pieces to put something together but our coaches need to pull their collective heads out of their butts. SBR should not have been in that game in the 2nd half. Good guy, but he's peaked and his peak isn't high enough. He doesn't have the accuracy or arm strength to run the...

    This team, this season, next season

    So, let's put the CPR conversation on the back burner for a moment because I think the opinion on that has been made clear and look at this team. I think they have the ability to win. Our run defense is drastically improved, we saw a glimpse of a running game last night, our WR's should be...

    What kind of coach wins at ISU?

    My opinion is we need a coach who is a proven recruiter. Give him the keys and money to hire good assistants. CPR had Chiz's recruits the first few years where he had more success. I do think these JUCO's can make a difference. They have completely changed our D from last year. Seems that...

    Respect for these players

    While most of you are probably waking up from a day of partying, those kids are waking up sore, tired, beat up, injured, and more disappointed than any of us. If you've ever played sports at a competitive level, you know this is true. They've been working all year to be a better team. They've...

    Lead story on ESPN, 2015 CFB Uni Watch

    I know, like we need another uniform thread. Some people still argue that uniforms don't matter in recruiting and we don't want the types of kids who are swayed by cool uniforms. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/13513118/2015-uni-watch-college-football-preview Yep, nobody worth...

    Cyclone fans becoming unbearable

    What the hell is happening here people? If any one of you had an opportunity to reach a life long dream in your career, more power to you. I don't think this is Fred being greedy, nor do I think this has anything do do with him not loving ISU. Listen to yourself before you type something...

    Rainbows and Unicorns

    So this post is for positive stuff. Perspective everyone. These kids work their balls off all year and this is way harder on them than it is on any of us regardless of how much you think you hurt from being a spectator. Any of you who have played competitive sports know that sometimes it just...

    Winning best conf tournament

    Why doesn't this mean more? I think a 3 seed is likely a better path for us so I'm fine with that but why would a team who finished 2nd during the regular season by 1 game in the best conf in basketball then not only wins the tournament but does it by beating the 3 and 1 seed on consecutive...

    Arrogant KU fans

    Not as if this wasn't already known but checked out their message board and wow. Yes, they deserve praise as an 11 time defending champion. But to say that ISU isn't even close to KU after ISU winning 2 out of 3. To not be willing to admit ISU should even be on the same floor with them after...

    Monte Morris is Big Time

    With all the talk of Nader, Niang, and Naz I think Monte deserves a little hype too. 14pts, 6 ast, 5 reb, 2 blk, 1 stl and played 38 min, the most of any player along with Hogue (who was also a beast) This kid is just a stud and he makes the whole thing go. Only 8 games into his sophomore...

    Bigger issue with DeJean-Jones

    So, this may be unpopular to those of you who only care about this guy scoring points and playing basketball but oh well. I can't get behind this guy at this point. Can he play ball, yes. But my impression of him has been as a selfish person. Watching him play is sometimes irritating as he...
