    K-State's "One Shining Moment"

    I would love to see more purple in the stands than black and gold.

    san Jose is a much better airport unless you are stuck at the airport. Small and and easy to get through security. The rental cars are in the parking garage next one of the terminals. Not quite as close as DSM but close. My only issues there were long queues at rental cars if something...

    2025 Tourney Bracket

    I like Cinderella stories for the big dance. For conference tourneys, particularly the Big 12, I can’t get there. NC State might do it this year and some bracketologists would have their inclusion bump Indiana State. If a team like NC State or Cincy can make it all the way from pig tails...

    2025 Tourney Bracket

    I like the idea of the double bye for the top four teams. There should be a reward for regular season performance. Has the Big 12 published the bracket for next yeay when we grow to 16?

    Tough decision poll?

    I recognize there is a world where we have our cake and eat it but if these are your only options which do you choose?

    Randy Pete Retiring

    My opinion is: "meh". I haven't counted on the Des Moines Register for sports reporting since before the last days of the Big Peach. Randy's reporting has not moved me in any direction, but it is clear from the few times I have heard him or read him more recently that it was time to retire.

    While I think the chance is low it is not impossible for us to win the Big 12 (as the #1 seed in the Big 12 tourney). We win out (should happen although not a gimme). Kansas beats Houston (likely not happening but Kansas is not a pushover) Baylor loses one of its two remaining games vs. Texas...

    Bracketology 2024

    I think it all depends upon who we would beat in the Big 12 tourney to win out. The championship would need to be ISU - Houston and we would be helped if Houston lost one of the next two games making us co-champs in the regular season. Beating Baylor or Kansas in the semis would not hurt...

    I am with you but shows that the grass is not always greener (at least for non football sports). When Mizzou was in the Big 8 they may not have been a blue blood but they mattered. Now …. They are a cute story when they have success.

    *** Official Oklahoma vs #8 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I am nervous too. BYU is good and if they hit their threes we could be in trouble. Particularly with Texas winning OU needs a signature win to help,their bubble status. We are a prime opportunity for that and they should be up for this game.

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    Any coincidence that the last time he did this the students responded vs. Villanova and the next game is ISU? (He railed on the students in December too). My guess he is STILL steamed about the game in Aames. How I hope it does not work when then lose the next two ahead of our game and the...

    I thought recalled WV athletics being in a budget crunch. OT = overtime pay for someone and coach couldn't get legislative sign-off.

    Any coincidence that Houston and ISU both could not sustain a decent first half. Being at against WV however makes our lethargy worse.
