    Iowa Beat Writers

    In the past the fans stated, “I’d rather make a deep run in the NIT over being one-and-done in the NCAA.”

    Bracketology 2024

    Out of curiosity to those who played pick-up ball against ISU greats--was the dominant court still the front courts at Lied or were they elsewhere? When I was at ISU during the final Orr/early Floyd years, I recall hearing people actually saying Jacy Halloway putting on a show there.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    In a previous position, I occasionally worked with a supplier rep out of Kansas who was a big KSU fan, so we talked about Big 12 sports frequently. What was interesting is how he described KSU and KU with respect to the schools, fans, and media often mirrored my description of ISU vs Iowa with...

    Official Utah Utes Welcome Thread

    It was stupid for them to retain the Lakers as it's associated with MN's geography. The Jazz is associated with the culture of NO. Do the Rams and Colts have any significance with their former cities other than picking random animal mascots? At least the Expos/Nationals, Oilers/Titans...

    Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

    Yeah, however Fran ran out of sons to go to Iowa. He'll have to hit the recruitment trail harder of the legacy players and tavernhawks.

    So you weren't around when a Hawk fan claimed Monte Morris and Mike Gesell were essentially washes for a point guard?

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    Many Hawk fans I know hate Alford. He's one of the things in college basketball to bring Iowa and ISU fans together. Their issues was more off-the-court, that he was a complete arse to fans/donors, thought he was god, and situations like Pierre Pierce. Then he left them and they got Lick...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    As a Bears fan, I was initially thrilled to have Monty on the team, however after a few years of Fields and the OC hurting his production, I was glad he left for division rival Detroit.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    They still need to be on any ISU fan's list, even when buried in mediocracy, especially to those of us living in Iowa. The media and their fans start to get mouthy if they're on a run in the NIT or even make a play-in game for the tourney. They still treat our game as their super bowl.

    What Player(s) Got You Hooked On College Basketball?

    Unfortunately I grew up Hawk, so I recall BJ Armstrong and Roy Marble getting me into college basketball. For ISU MBB, Hoiberg/Thigpen/Meyer/Michalik/Bayless team got me hooked and for WBB, I recall Stacy Freese teams of when I started following ISU there.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    KSU is so broken they're looking ahead to the ISU rematch on March 9th and forgot they have many Big 12 games happening before then.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    Yep, we still talk about bandgate and locker room theft and KU fans still obsess over Mel Weatherwax.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    This faux controversy is like bandgate vs Iowa. Someone contact Pollard and have him release the video to put this to rest.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    ISU needs to keep Mel Weatherwax under control before he cripples a player like what he did to Cordell Pemsl.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    The nice things is that the conference championship game is against Detroit, so either he or Monty will guarantee a Cyclone in the SB this year.

    My wife was going to pick this up for me at Hy-Vee, discovered it was leaking at the checkout, then didn’t get a replacement due to not wanting to wait.
