    MONDAY MUSINGS: On grad transfer QBs, Wigginton, NCAA Tournament

    My biggest concern right now, is our first two home games are going to most likely be Hilton lite, in regards to atmosphere. Between the semester break, and bowl game, we are going to need the magic this year, and it will probably be a bit of an uncharacteristic energy for two critical contests.

    It's time for the Hyvee Classic to die

    I like the classic. If you perform well, you are expanding your footprint in the state, and as much as you want to berate people who say that they 'can't' come to Ames for a game, the fact remains that the game is a vehicle for expanding a base, not necessarily catering to the homers that are...

    ISU Daily story about the Grayers important work in Flint

    That would make sense. I just didn't know the story behind it all. Flint has been good to us.

    ISU Daily story about the Grayers important work in Flint

    Great story about the important work that the Grayers are doing towards combatting Flint's lead pipe crisis. Also, I didn't know that Jeff Grayer married Barry Steven's sister. Great all-around ISU story! http://www.iowastatedaily.com/news/article_32dc4304-d9f0-11e7-b837-7f619912ad35.html

    Iowa State vs Iowa Predictions

    I feel like the true difference between the stuttered start of our season and the most recent success has been the defining and emerging roles of our leadership. Both Jackson and Weiler-Babb have been great at being both skilled at their role, and providing leadership. I imagine that the...

    OFFICIAL: Iowa State vs. Memphis in the Liberty Bowl

    I am so jealous of everyone going to this! I already booked my New Years plans in Denver, but I know that a committed and enthusiastic Cyclone Nation will turn Memphis into a Cardinal and Gold town, taking the 'home field' advantage away. So incredibly happy that this batch of seniors gets one...

    Alert: PATREON UPDATE: Where funds are going, how you can help

    Patreon kind of has that worked into it's structure. It is super easy to go in and set up a payment, and then turn it off after a month. I'm supporting a few creators right now through Patreon, and really like how easy it is to adjust my levels of contribution. Not in the budget to support CF...

    Brian Peavy in jail

    Perhaps he just heard about the "Clapton is God" tag on the bridge for ages, and just felt that the travesty of its removal needed remedied. Kudos young man, carry on. ;)

    *** Official #14 IOWA STATE Vs West Virginia Gameday Thread ***

    Ugly so far. Really thought we would come out and roll a bit this week. Come on fellas, get back up and make this a game.

    *** Official #14 IOWA STATE Vs West Virginia Gameday Thread ***

    I have a weird feeling that we just dominate today. I am going with a score of 35-10. Cyclone flavored Kool-Aid tastes so much better when we are actually winning. ;)

    Had a conversation at church and want your opinion...

    I was cautiously optimistic. The D had kept OU out of sync all day, and the tell-tale signs of the choke weren't apparent to my eyes. I was nervous, and if OU had scored I may have decreased my optimism, but in the moment I was pretty psyched. So many of the soul crushing losses were...

    #4 plants ISU flag at midfield

    Keep it classy young men. You made the only statement that needed to be made by playing your hearts out and winning the game. I like energy, and passion, but showing discipline and respect is more important than being a doosh and wagging your flag in the air. It becomes a part of the story...

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

    I know that there probably aren't many Cyclone fans in Norman today, but are there enough to get one of those goal posts down, and bring them back to Lake Laverne? ;) Holy f*ing smokes!! Go Cyclones!!!!!

    RECRUITING: C.J. Bolar commits

    I know decommitments suck, but is it better to have an 'on the fence' decent recruit early commit then decommit than not have the buzz about him at all? I know that you don't want the whole class to be wishy washy, but is class ranking important enough for it not to be an all bad situation...

    McDermott (turned down) Ohio State

    Also, looks like McD would have had a huge pay increase based on that list. I wonder if he comes out of this process with a sweetened deal from Creighton. Creighton Big East Greg McDermott $1,153,488 -- $1,153,488 --

    McDermott (turned down) Ohio State

    From USA today. Looks like he will come in at 3rd highest in the Big 10 and 8th overall (depending on bonuses). I didn't get the columns to copy over, but it is interesting to see how variable some contracts are. First number is salary from school, second is outside sources, third is that...

    Friday OT #1 - The Answer Is Clearly First Ave.

    I worked at the M-Shop and still attend shows there from time to time. Max cap of under 200 people, horrible acoustics, but some great music and memories. Missed out on Cake to see Geggy Tah just months before Cake won a Grammy. Two of my favorite shows there were the Digital Underground...

    SATURDAY PODCAST: Next year's hoops roster & Fred's future

    We have a top 20 recruiting class coming in, with a strong core of Young, Jackson, and Weiler-Babb as known performers. Granted, Weiler-Babb and Jackson weren't starters, but they definitely showed glimpses of what we can expect from them as leaders this year, and I think that both of them will...
