    NCAA changes

    "If you like intercollegiate athletics the way it is, you're going to hate it going forward. There's a lot of change coming.â€￾ -Bob Bowlsby I'm curious as to what changes he is taking about. I guess I don't really like intercollegiate athletics the way it is, but that is mostly because of...

    Deja vu

    I had the most insane déjà vu of my life this afternoon. I was about to hit send on an email when I the little box pop up that I received a new email. Before I opened the email I knew exactly what it was going to say. Word for word, and it wasn't some 2 sentence email either. This really...

    No one cares!

    About your bracket or that you only missed Dayton so far, or that you have Florida winning it all or that you picked FGCU last year or..... The guy in the cube next to you at work doesn't care, nor does the guy at the gas station, nor does anyone on this site. Everyone is is happy for you and...

    Consecutive Conference Championships

    I was listening to Murph and Andy this afternoon and they had a poll up on their site asking if people thought Iowa State could win consecutive conference championships in today's MBB environment. They acknowledged that ISU has accomplished the feat, but a lot has changed since then. The...

    Props to the crowd

    Great atmosphere tonight! After Opie missed the second free throw, Reid Gettys said "That's as loud as I've heard a basketball arena in my life." Impressive. went back and watched the last 30 again to get the quote right.

    Love this team!

    How exciting is this basketball team! Lots of room for improvement and still willed their way to a win against a very quality team. Imagine what they will look like when the shots start taking.

    Idea: Cyclone Legacy

    Today there was a thread about Mateen Cleeves and someone asked about why Cyclone fans dislike him. That got me thinking, there are a lot of fans here that have very different knowledge and experience with Cyclone sports. Fans need to know that Iowa State was a Blarge away from a final four and...

    Shattered

    I consider myself a pretty average fan. Certainly not as fanatical as some here, especially for football. I grew up a Cyclone fan in the 80's. It was a pretty miserable time to be an Iowa State football fan. You just kind of put up with a few highlights in football while waiting for Hilton...

    Smells rotten at UNC

    I don't know if anyone else is following this story out of UNC, but it looks like PJ Hairston was likely receiving impermissible benefits from some felon. UNC is currently on probation so I'm curious to see what comes of it. NCAA rule hypocrisy is getting old..... Y! SPORTS
