    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Yeah, was hoping for an escape from the elite Big 12 defenses. Instead we're stuck with another one.

    MetroNet Ames

    I switched to Metronet a few months back when they rolled out in my neighborhood in Rochester. I was probably going to switch anyway, but then Charter raised their prices right at the same time and made that choice very easy. I highly recommend them. Less expensive than what I was paying before...

    Thad Matta - ISU Head Coach next year

    At this point in both 2018 and 2011 we knew things were going to improve the next year so there wasn't much reason to get too down about how things were going. I just don't see it this year. And without Ty, this team is probably worse than '11 or '18 so we have a bigger hole to dig out of. To...

    *** Official #19 IOWA STATE vs TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

    Man, I think I melt down bad sometimes but some of you guys really lose your minds.

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Kansas State Gameday Thread ***

    Granted there are only a few games left in the year, but literally every time people here get hysterical and post stuff like this, this team comes out and wins the next game.

    *** Official Milwaukee Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    You can't just wave away the fact that we had two 100% wasted recruiting classes. Guys from those classes should be the juniors and seniors leading this team right now. Our success was built around a core of 4-year guys that we plugged transfers into as needed. The problem is, once we had those...

    *** Official Milwaukee Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    We had two HS recruiting classes that we literally got nothing out of. That's a hard thing to recover from. Add in the disaster that was spring recruiting this year and, well, here we are. Having even just one guy from each of those two classes with the team would have at least brought us some...

    About the new logo, Johnny Orr, & Jack Trice

    This was really frustrating to read. Sounds like we were close to doing the right thing and someone managed to screw it up. At the next football game can the people responsible that final decision be brought out on to the field to be publicly shamed?

    Stupid logo hate thread

    This is really simple, and I don't know why ISU makes it so much harder than it needs to be. The I-State logo is and should be our primary logo. A slightly updated version of the old Tornado logo should be our secondary logo. There was no need for a new cyclone logo, we already have one. For...

    Hilton sounded quiet/dead....

    ? The Baylor game is sold out. As was Tech, and every game the rest of this season. The student section will just be general public rather than students for Saturday.

    Iowa State #5 in AP, #2 in Coaches Poll (Dec. 14)

    Kentucky easily beat Arizona State and UCLA picked up a win against Gonzaga (making UK's loss not look as bad). We went 3-0 but did not look impressive at all. Not exactly shocking that they jumped us. It looks like we actually increased our vote total week to week. Kentucky just looked better...

    *** Official Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    Bad showing against one of the three worst teams on our schedule. The bad habits of last year seem to be sticking around...hopefully the guys will keep playing better defense when it really counts so we can avoid the stupid losses this year.

    Next coach options?

    I haven't seen his name thrown around but Todd Monken might be someone to consider. I don't know a lot about him, but he's turned Southern Miss around from an 0-12 season three years ago to playing for a division title next week. He's from the midwest and has Big 12 experience (OC for oSu's 2011...

    The one and only positive of this is that it should force JP's hand. This has to end. Now.

    Am I the Only One?

    Didn't you (or at least most of the Rhoads supporters) say that this year? But the goalposts moved from 6 wins to 3 wins and "improvement". Just like they'll move next year.

    Am I the Only One?

    I'm starting to hate coming on to this site anymore. It's like stepping into some bizarre alternate reality where 8-26 and six straight losing seasons are a good thing. The "We Are Iowa State" mentality has ruined the perspective of so many fans. Rhoads will come back next year and miss a bowl...

    ***Official Texas vs Iowa State Gameday Thread***

    Expected to lose. By a lot. Glad to be wrong. Hopefully this sends Texas back on a downward spiral and they'll continue to suck for at least a couple more years.
