    TJ and staff put on a clinic

    This was a game that could have gotten out of hand easily. But in the first half we got easy buckets out of timeouts to stop the bleeding. TJ also controlled the crowd perfectly, every time they would get into it he would use a timeout. Then the management of the late game situation (obviously...

    We were out-Iowa-ing Iowa

    First and 10 from your own 10 after forcing Iowa to punt yet again. And you take a shot in the hopes of flipping the field position (I presume)?!?! Only to throw a pick that results in 7 point That’s why Kirk Ferentz is who/what he is. Because he has an identity/philosophy that he does not...

    We get a mulligan!

    This is a redo of epic proportions. This is “one stroke up with one hole to play, hit it in the water but get to reload and try again without penalty” type stuff. The last time GameDay came to town and we let the rest of the country in on our state’s rivalry, ISU showed out in every possible...

    Coach Campbell comparison to Rich Rod

    "We won a lot of games with Rich Rodriguez. He is a guy who changed college football and never gets credit for it. Whenever he ended up at Michigan, we knew it wasn't going to work at Michigan. There was no way it was going to work at Michigan just because we had been to practice with him...

    National COTY

    Is this just me or does this feel like a lock? Could be feeling this way because Coach Campbell is being talked about by EVERYONE in the football world right now, but I don’t see any way he doesn’t win this award!

    I love eating crow

    Time to eat some crow. The past couple of weeks I have been pretty critical of our beloved Cyclones. Mostly in face to face conversation. But I did post on here, and I basically called out our guys' heart and "want to". Here's the part I love. I WAS WRONG! Man that felt good! No matter what...

    What we need can't be coached

    I have a theory on competitive desire. It is a theory that "excuses", if you will, those that lack it. My theory is that you either have it or you don't. And if you don't it's not because you don't want to have it, it's just the cards you were dealt. Much like if you're 6' 1" instead of 6' 7"...

    In reality, what is the ISU Basketball program?

    The ISU Men's Basketball program is in the 5th year of a very nice run that started with a rookie coach that went 16-16 in his first season. That coach has amassed 110 wins in that 5 year stretch (with games left to play in the 5th season, pretty nice wins per season average!). They have been...

    Transfer? U Bet Your A**!

    Royce White couldn't stay out of trouble long enough to play at Minnesota. Korie Lucious and Chris Allen were potheads (not an uncommon thing for college kids), Tom Izzo told them to take a hike. Deandre Kane was such a "cancer" to the team at Marshall that he and the program parted ways...

    Fred: "The next banner to drop will be a National Championship banner"

    I didn't see this yet and it was my biggest takeaway from Hilton Madness. Fred provided a mike drop moment when he said the Sweet 16 banner wasn't good enough for them. Nor the Elite 8 banner and even the Final 4 banner. He said the next banner to drop at Hilton will be a National Championship...

    Is Good the Enemy of Better?

    Early in the year I was one of the guys saying the Royce needed to play more inspired. I said that it seemed he could get so much more out of himself if he played with a little fire. Through the year I saw times that he turned it on and he made people look silly when he did. His gaudy numbers...

    MLB: Keep on Keeping on Josh Hamilton

    We all have those moments in life where we wish we could turn back the hands of time. Those moments that we play in our minds over and over, endlessly thinking about what we should have done differently. Moments when going before our loved ones with the incident exposed feel like the proverbial...

    Ready to Eat Some Crow Regarding Royce

    I was one of these guys that questioned Royce's heart and/character earlier in the year. I have been thinking and I realize I was wrong to question this young man's character based on what I saw in a short period of time on the floor. Does he have room to grow? Which of us doesn't?! Was it...

    Classic Encounter with a Hawkeye fan

    I work retail and had an encounter with a Hawkeye fan that really made me laugh. I was helping this man and he was wearing a Hawk hat, so I asked him if the Hawks played yesterday (wasn't sure, they play today). He said, "No, we get to lose tomorrow @ Indiana" (first typical Iowa fan...

    Hilton Magic is just that...Magic

    I agree that it has been a while since Hilton Magic was alive and well. I have been reading all these posts about how to bring it back, whose fault it is that it is gone and whether it's the fans' responsiblity or the team's to initiate it. I was young during the period of time that the Magic...
