    I was hoping this thread was going to be about giving players a Buick from Benson Motors

    Which state is most Midwestern?

    All I know is if you are ever in a room with a person each from say Ohio, Kansas, and Minnesota, they love to tell the others they are not part of the Midwest. But no one has ever claimed to me Iowa isn't part of the Midwest. It really is fascinating how many people from so many states seem to...

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    Or maybe some of us prefer teams that make the sweet 16 to those that don't. It's no question to me that I've been more disappointed in WBB the last 3 years than either FB or MBB. I don't hate any of them. Disappointing to see them all leave but I understand why.

    TJ signs 10 year extension

    Looking at the numbers, I guarantee UNC wasn't going to give TJ a 10 year contract. Mike Malone got $50 million over 6. Sure, TJ could make a bet on himself that an $8 million per year contract could pay off if he keeps his job at a UNC but I don't know if that's even a wise financial move if...

    Caroline McCombs Named Iowa State Associate Head Coach

    Does McCombs have a previous connection to Bill? Or are you just saying his tree after she's been here a year?

    Downtown Royals Stadium

    It's weird to me how both this and the Chiefs stadium all of a sudden, one day seem like done deals. When before that, it felt like endless public discussions and even votes shooting different plans down. I like the two sites so feel it's a good result. But it certainly gives me the feeling...

    Downtown Royals Stadium

    Of course, but I guess my point is double the people isn't double the traffic hassles and wait time. It's more like 4x or 5x because that second half often ends up in more temporary lots with less traffic control. I think traffic and access is an important consideration for building a football...

    Downtown Royals Stadium

    I'm sure it will be a lot like Minneapolis and St. Louis where the only time many use public transportation is for baseball games. And the good thing about baseball is 81 games a year makes parking ramps more viable. I can't imagine there won't be several parking ramps similar to those at...

    ***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

    I'm still bummed Iowa St didn't get to play Michigan in Las Vegas.

    Returning players

    That's interesting because I kind of feel the opposite. I thought some of ISU's offensive challenges were Lipsey and Toure were too redundant. I feel like Toure has to play PG for ISU to be the most successful next year. I think the bigger need is more a Heise/Gabe Kalscheur type player who is...

    ***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

    Is there a reason Tennessee is -1.5 against Virginia? I haven't followed closely but was expecting the 3-seed to be favored.

    ***2026 Minnesota Vikings***

    I wonder what they're paying Wentz. I'm just surprised he didn't have better offers to be a clear backup somewhere.

    Ashley Okland Murder

    Here's my theory: Kristin Ramsey is a time traveler who assumed the alias of Wanda Fowler and committed the murder. The police couldn't solve the case until we were back in the present when the 53 year old Ramsey initiated her time travels.

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    I get the warnings and not recommending travel, but closing the interstates seems a little extreme to me from what I've seen. If somebody works at Mary Greeley and lives in Story City, was it really bad enough to prevent them from using the interstate to get to work?

    ***2026-27 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    They had 3 big mops doing the whole court at halftime and I think another TO during the ISU game. In person, it seemed very up and down during the ISU game. Seems like the court was fine at times but then any sweat from falls or just the sweat from 10 players over time would build up to be...

    ISU officially discontinuing gymnastics

    Even if someone likes basketball, it's a sport dominated by tall people. Even though she's young, I can tell my daughter is unlikely to find much success in basketball and more likely to enjoy participating in and watching gymnastics. The whole thing is just sad to me. Youth sports...

    Post Arizona Venting - What’s the Fix?

    Yeah, and I question whether gaming the system is worth it. If we were likely to be a bubble team, I'd get it. If I could trade a margin of victory of 10 less points in each of the quad 4 games for 1 more Big 12 win, I'd happily do it. Even if it meant a drop in ISU's NET ranking. I used to...

    Post Arizona Venting - What’s the Fix?

    I think some regression for a veteran team is just to be expected. The teams with young, top talent are almost always going to improve more. And it's still a very solid team that will hopefully benefit from being out of conference in the tournament. But I also think TJ needs to examine if his...

    2025-2026 MBB computer projections thread

    I wonder if a team has ever not had any Q3 games. That seems almost impossible to do.
