    Big 12 FB Media Days

    Any time there's a coaching change, one would expect some retrenchment and consolidation. Add in the roster turnover, and I think most of us aren't expecting Onward and Upward from the CMC years. Optimistically we can start to establish an identity, develop some players, and play well.

    Big 12 FB Media Days

    There's never a bad time to beat Iowa and it's an attainable goal. Other than when we play them, I kind of forget about them anymore. Just another mediocre B1G school.

    Something you should never do

    I've got a bunch of popups I can't get rid of simply from being on this site.

    There are variables in that equation.

    Something you should never do

    So long as you don't drool, you should be alright on that one. Peeing on said fence is a different matter.

    Williams & Blum: Big 12 Media Days Preview, Expectations for the Cyclones

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    If it was like other sports, FIFA would just send the U.S. a letter of apology. It's a silly sport with silly rules.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    And yet, his percentages indicate he could have shot more. Or that our offense should have been designed to get him the ball more rather than having guys dribbling into the heart of the defense,

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    I interpret Pope's comment as just another way of saying to shoot more. Most players will shoot a lower percentage if they shoot more because they're likely taking more contested shots, shots off the dribble, etc. I hope Milan does well.

    CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best

    Difference was CMC's teams were rarely blown out. They were in the game even against highly rated teams. An example was in 2018 against Kyler Murray's Oklahoma team. I went expecting a bloodbath but ISU kept it within 10 or so all game despite a highlight reel performance by Murray. As we got...

    CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best

    Team 1 is 20 years of players. Team 2 is 10. I'd still take Team 2 but there were a lot of great players in both eras.

    Serious Question: How does ISUs football recruiting look so far?

    That should change over time. It's easier to keep players than to get players and the longer players are in the system, the better the chance for success.

    Serious Question: How does ISUs football recruiting look so far?

    If we're in the mid-40s, I think that's pretty damn good for an unproven coach in a mid-level P4 program. It makes a lot of difference how the pieces fit together.

    2026-27 ISU Football offensive scheme?

    Everyone wants to run the ball. The team that most effectively runs the ball wins most games. But very few teams can just line up and run the ball against quality opponents. I really expect us to be in the gun most of the time because that provides the most options, especially with a scrambling...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The Yankees still are limited in their player acquisitions by the draft and luxury tax on salaries. There's increased talk of a salary cap. Baseball is about the only pro sport without a cap.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Fans like to think their favorite team is in a balls to the wall contest to win. In reality, pro sports (and increasingly college sports) are a business. The objective is to get butts in the seats in a cost-effective manner. Some leagues have a salary floor. There are structures in pro leagues...

    Hakeem Butler signs with Broncos

    You very well may be right but it's weird how someone can be player of the year in a lower league but can't even be a backup in the big league.

    Kids leaving the nest - how to cope?

    I enjoyed them when they were home. I read to them when they were younger and went to nearly all their band concerts and sporting events. I still help them move. They have their lives to live. I do wish they'd visit more like "The Cat's in the Cradle" but that's not the same thing as getting all...

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Sweet 16 ***

    I worked at the one in Ames for a semester when I was in school. Went home smelling like fryer grease every day.
