    Tight end Ben Haulmark leaves Iowa State

    I don't know much about him, but the coaches recruited him. He could have done nothing more than punt team blocking, but hate seeing guys leave. Not sure the staff could get someone else for this fall, but I have low expectations this season anyway.

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    MM is leaving the best way he could, to allow ISU to sign transfers. TJ has a roster spot if MM doesn't find a better fit. I don't blame Rocco or other football seniors for following CMC. Learning a new system your last year and not knowing if you position coach is bringing in 'his guy' and...

    JJeff Injury Updates

    In Highland school, I had a severe low ankle sprain. Trip to ER and crutches. Missed the game that night. No therapy but ice and ibuprofen and I was at practice Monday with a brace and tape wrapped. Just depends how severe.

    Name your hot takes 2026 post tcu loss

    We do not play well against physical teams. Several turnovers were ball slapped out of hands and most games would have been fouls. Big 12 physical, handsy teams run into trouble in the tournament when refs from other conferences call those as fouls. I heard last night from announcers comments...

    ***Iowa Pregame Thread***

    ISU was 3 point Dawgs to KSU and won by 3 (should have been 10). We were 15.5 point favorites to USD and won by 48 (should have been 55). We are 3 point favorites to TOE. I think we win it. I hope we score early and often in first half and make them adjust to it, then run heavy in the second...

    Bricked.

    3 in a row. I really expected a 10 point win. Wish ISU would have punched that last TD in. I think KSU would have done it to us, if roles reversed.

    I think as good as people seem to think KSU defense is, I think ISUs defense is very good as well and has stopped KSU last year. I see ISU by 2 scores, 27-17.

    Mid(conference)-Season Check-Up

    Something needs to change, but at KU is not the place to make a change. We have 3 guards that would likely start on any team in the conference. But they don't really play well with all three on the court. I think a change for Saturday would be to start Watson and bring Jones off the bench...

    New AP Poll Dec 1

    After our second bye week, we dropped, I think 2 spots. I am using that as a guide in that all the teams not playing next Saturday will drop 2 spots. The committee will be consistent, right??? (sarcasm)

    UCF Post game thread

    Hunter for UCF is about 5-6 inches shorter than our O-linemen, weighs around 330 and is very athletic. It is very difficult to block a guy whose center of gravity is lower than yours. He can get into you, lift up a little, and then you have very few options to push with effectiveness. Most...

    CF Staff Picks: No. 11 Iowa State @ West Virginia

    No turnovers for ISU. Will WV allow a punt block? I think the score will be ISU 24- WV 17. I think it will be a good game. Last week, I told a friend ISU 34-BU 21. I got the 3 and the 4 turned around. I hope I have the 2 and the 4 turned around this week, but I doubt it.

    *** Official #18 IOWA STATE vs Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    GO CYCLONES! Get in the endzone early and often. Their defense is descent, but our bend and don't break is better. ISU 38 UH 13 with a late TD after 2 FGs.

    I thought Sandesky got hurt in the second half. Looked like a knee.

    2024-25 ISU FB Early Predictions and Offseason Discussion

    I will be happy for the long runs he had in the BYU game. He had 110 yards in 8 carries. I think he had a 59 yarder in that one. But ISU also had and should still have explosive plays in the passing game, that will help set up the running game. To me, the bowl game is the one that is hard to...

    2024-25 ISU FB Early Predictions and Offseason Discussion

    We were 4-2 in road games last year. I think this team travels well and plays well on the road again this year. With that said, I think we have far fewer questions than Iowa, with a new OC and such. I think we win at Iowa and I believe we start the season at 5-0. Game 6 is at West Virginia...

    STORY: Iowa State showcased its younger players during a blustery spring game Saturday

    No, Sama and Carson were in uniform. I arrived at 10:15 am and saw Becht, Sama, and the others scrimmaging with offense going South. Then about 10:25 they stopped and started doing position drills. Those guys are fine, just not showing us what they can do. I saw one D-line, I think it was...

    Spring football video: Ryan Clanton's update on the offensive line

    I understand that we need and OL that can get the 1 yard when we need 1 yard most of the time. But what I saw in the Memphis game was a coach who called a play and had no viable option for switching when there were extra guys in the box. OL has no chance of success when reads and changes do...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    The seeding is what it is. I am less worried about SDSU, WSU, or Drake than I am getting refs from a small conference that have never seen a team play defense like ISU and it turn into free-throw scoring for our opponent and our best guys on the bench in foul trouble. That is the real threat...
