    All Things Notre Dame

    Funny ... guy doesn't seem to know who ISU is. We are: 1) the guys who destroyed you the last time we met in athletic competition a couple years ago, remember? ... your BB coach described the blowout by saying: I really felt it was men playing against boys. They're really, really good. ; and 2)...

    Rutger Hauer passed away

    Fantastic movie ... and I remember reading somewhere that during the shooting of the scene much of the cast and crew on hand were moved to tears by his performance and his soliloquy. One of the top 5 scifi movies of all time.

    WE ARE RATED #2!!! (So keep calm and carry on)

    I was wondering the same thing .... making a mental note to check out their game posts sometime!

    WE ARE RATED #2!!! (So keep calm and carry on)

    I'm open to being wrong (tho I'd really hate that ) but it seems by your interpretation you would have to have a coach who was really on the "hot seat" to be happy? Right?

    WE ARE RATED #2!!! (So keep calm and carry on)

    Hmmm ... so you are saying the rankings indicate that Bama, Georgia and Oklahoma fans are not the happiest? Don't think your interpretation is correct.

    WE ARE RATED #2!!! (So keep calm and carry on)

    ISU fans are 2nd only to Virginia Tech in ESPN's CFB panic rating. (No ranking for basketball ... but if there was we'd prolly be right up there.) Perhaps a high panic rating is the flip side of being "fanatics" ... but IMO it would be good to see our panic rating drop a bit. Link...

    Hoiberg to Huskers

    If someone with media skills put Fred's head on Johhny K. and put Cy's head on the the kick target ... that pretty much sums it up.

    Hoiberg to Huskers

    Kansas phog has a thread ... some there discussing how Fred at Neb affects ISU recruiting ... so not just us thinking about this. Also speculating that Kansas and Neb will start playing each other due to Fred and Self palship.

    Hoiberg to Huskers

    BTW, if you saw the whole thing in context ... he was responding to a question about feeling bad if he was fired ... and he was saying don't feel bad for him since he would come out OK ... but there were plenty of others everyday in life that lose their jobs that are not so fortunate as him...

    Hoiberg to Huskers

    BTW ... why the heck is Fred (I assume with Nebraska's OK) putting out public statements about replacing an existing (not fired) coach who is trying to prepare his team for a post-season tournament? I don't care what has been communicated privately among the parties, It is a **** way for Neb...

    Hoiberg to Huskers

    I have always liked Fred, but if he goes to the Neb cornholios it will be seen as a **** move by a sizeable segment of the Cyclone fan base. As he is leaving Ames he indicates he hates recruiting ... then goes to a historical rival and starts recruiting for that rival. I suspect that many of...

    Hoiberg to Huskers

    Yep ... Neb is a historical rival that is hated by a large part of the ISU fanbase. It would be a slap in the face to have left your "hometown" team only to go potentially help that rival become a powerhouse.

    Steve Friggin' Prohm...

    Thanks for making my point! Hawks will take any opportunity to try to grab the high ground since their coach, and they by association, have reputations for abysmal behavior.

    Steve Friggin' Prohm...

    Their coach is chair-throwing, ref-charging, screaming bully with his own Francon rating system for out of control behavior and is a nationwide object of ridicule. And his players reflected that in how they went after Jake in the first half and then dunked the ball in the last minute of a game...

    West Virginia Player Attacks Fan

    Unprofessional ... as Purdy was walking off the field after he threw the interception two WVU players sought him out then sandwiched him and talked some trash ... it happened fast but if you watch the replay it was pretty obvious what they were doing ...

    Jakolby Long to transfer

    Trying to understand ... if someone was trusted and given access to this kind of information why they would betray that trust and need to run out and blab about it. Kind of coming across as the insecure kid from grade school who is a know-it-all, and a tattletale trying to buy acceptance with...

    Talen Horton-Tucker next year

    First year will be an adjustment period. But he sure looks like he could become Burton++ ... and that is going to be fun to watch happen.

    Xavier Foster (part 2)

    Really like what I have read and seen about Xavier and like his father's comments. His talent and character would fit well with ISU and Prohm's approach.

    *** Official Oklahoma State Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    This is absolutely correct. Getting the starters back next year ... PLUS at least 2 proven big-12-caliber, power-5 players with lots of experience ... PLUS one of the best recruiting classes in memory. If you are not positive about seeing improvement next year then you may need meds.

    *** Official Oklahoma State Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    I'm sure part of it for Solomon is the fact that Okst has just had their ass handed to them by ISU during his tenure.
