    Justin Hamilton considering staying at Iowa State

    Personally I wonder how this generation is going to survive in the real world. The bottom line is life is not a video game, you can’t just return to a saved game once you exit.:jimlad:

    Article about Jeff Grayer's two sons

    Does anyone know if this game can be purchased as a DVD? NCAA.com actually offers the 1st round matchup, but not the game vs. Michigan.

    Time To Come Together: An Alternate Viewpoint.

    Yeah ... it's almost like having a new coach here. Except for the complete loss of hope.

    Time to come together

    We can all agree that nobody has a clue how to get ISU to a winning record in the B12.

    Time to come together

    We can all agree that message boards are evil.

    Assistant coach rumor I am hearing

    The biggest marketing splash the Hawks made was the coaching change. That was certainly a bigger marketing splash than anything Pollard has done, including his "kids today" rant.

    Bad to Worse

    That's because today's kids are too lazy to even sign their name to a letter of intent. They'd rather borrow dear old Dad's Stutz Bearcat and go dance the Charleston than do their chores. I think Grandpa Pollard is right to want to bring the hickory switch to these young whipper-snappers.

    Info about Colvin

    Apparently, no one in our Athletic Department.

    Rumors of other Transfers?

    That boat seems to be taking an awfully long time to reach shore.

    Pollard Addresses MBB

    Let's try a more real-world analogy. If your boss is so incompetent that his key employees keep quitting, and the CEO ignores this year after year, you can quit and find a better company to work for. Kudos --- you've successfully 'castrated' the MBB program.

    Pollard Addresses MBB

    Yes, Mr. Pollard, today's athletes are totally unrealistic ... wanting to play for a competent coach. And today's fans are are equally unrealistic ... wanting the AD to make a coaching change after a half-decade of basketball failure. So the bigger question, why do you want to be an Athletic...

    New Management team for Hilton

    It's pretty simple. Hilton used to have a larger number of non-sports events that helped generate revenue. For example, the annual Iowa FFA convention. The few concerts that have been held have had their share of problems. The Athletic Dept. seemed to be unable to handle this at a time...

    ISU vs. Creighton -- Nov. 21 next year

    Cityview | Central Iowa's Independent Weekly | Cover Story Yeah, Wells Fargo had a whopping net income of $79K in 09-10 and no longer have the Iowa Chops as a tenant. The NFL and NBA both have upcoming labor issues ... who knows how stable either the Arena League or the NBDL is. And yet...

    Keep Coach McDermott!

    The good news is that by the time ISU can afford the McDermott buyout, the NCAA field will be at a 128 teams ... so we might just be dancing within the next half-decade or so. So that's another feather in the cap of our 'marquee' program.

    ISU vs. Creighton -- Nov. 21 next year

    I had the misfortune of going to the ISU-Ohio State game a few years back at Wells Fargo. A very lousy experience. This looks like another big money-loser for the "Well". I'm guessing they'll have to eventually add slot machines to the bottom floor to help pay off this boondoggle as well.

    Coaching spot

    Plus, Nick Nurse has experience in coaching in front of 12000 empty seats, so he should be ready for Hilton next year.

    Is this message board a good thing?

    Yes ... message boards are the problem. Our only hope may be to recruit illiterates from this point on.

    ISU MBB 6% of Athletic Budget

    Which explains why Pollard can live with a drop in season ticket sales for MBB but can't afford a buyout plus the cost of hiring a new coach.

    The future - ChrisW, KG? . . .

    I think the different feel just may be that the gym is eerily quiet after another offseason mass exodus. The future's so bright ... I gotta wear shades.
