    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    Now that matchday 2 is almost complete, is there any easy way to tell who the U.S. play in our round of 32 game? Or, do we have to wait until literally every matchday 3 game is done? One of the frustrating things about this expansion to 48.

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    That's good for us (USA). Norway is one of those teams just outside the top 5 or 6 tier, but has dark horse potential to make it to a semi-final for example. They've got a couple of the best in the world players in Odegaard and Haaland who would start for nearly any side, and this is very much...

    USMNT vs Paraguay Gameday Thread - World Cup 2026

    I'm hoping for the best and being optimistic. I hope the outrageous ticket prices and BS FIFA has imposed on supporters groups won't be a damper, but it might be. For example, the big traveling pack of U.S. supporters that bang drums and lead chants all day have been split up and only sold the...

    USMNT vs Paraguay Gameday Thread - World Cup 2026

    USA! USA! USA! The long wait (for some of us;-) is over. I believe that we will win! U.S. is favored by about half a goal I've seen. Hope they come out on the front foot looking to be aggressive and score. This is probably the most individually talented USMNT we've ever had at a World Cup, but...

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    Even less, I suspect, but your point is a good one. We're pretty darn lucky.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    In fairness, this is the new era everywhere. The 4 year guys or even 3 year guys will be incredibly rare for the foreseeable future. Tough, but it's the situation we're in. I am incredibly thankful we have Otzelberger and staff. He's done an amazing job retaining guys in this era and being...

    AI film premiers at Cannes

    No **** shurlock. AI needs more regulatory guidance and laws put in place now - start with requiring labeling of all AI created videos. It's going to lead to a dystopian and confusing future where it's constantly a battle to determine truth from fiction. That's not good for a society, and...

    MBB 2025-26: Where does season rank in ISU history?

    That's a pretty darn reasonable list. I think I'd have to go with that as a solid top 10. Only place I waver is in ranking that '96-97 Floyd, Willoughby, Cato, Pratt team. They were in overtime with UCLA in the Sweet Sixteen to go to the Elite Eight. So darn close, and no other team came as...

    ISU to Keep the Top 25 Streak Going!?

    No doubt. But, it's exciting to see respect for our program and the returning players at the very beginning of this process from national media. That wasn't the case a few years ago. Hope it means we can keep the wonderful Top 25 streak going. Hope we hold onto these players we grow attached to...

    ISU to Keep the Top 25 Streak Going!?

    I love seeing this kind of love for our team next year. Apparently, ESPN's writer thinks we can keep our long Top 25 streak going and start next year ranked. Me too. Love seeing that TJ is already so respected in the profession and our teams so respected they are placing us in the top 25 (and...

    BREAKING: UNI hires Kyle Green as head coach

    Exactly. This is a natural by-product of being successful. Hello, this is what every successful collegiate program goes through all the time! TJ's coaching tree is growing! Congratulations to Kyle Green! It's an opportunity to add another dynamic, young go-getter to the staff. It's better this...

    *** Official #23 Tennessee vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    In fairness, they don’t let them hold, hand check and body off the ball in the NBA. They have tighter whistles and emphasize ‘freedom of movement’. Teams hold Milan constantly off the ball. I could see him getting off more shots in the NBA. It’s possible.

    **** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

    I think you're generally right against most teams, but not all as to the 4 position. It depends on the matchup. For example, Arizona started Krivas at 7-2 and Peat at 6-9. Pleta covered Peat just fine and that's a top 5 (probably the overall number 1 team) in the nation. He can easily play the 4...

    **** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

    Yes, I think Pleta will continue to develop and next year you'll see him look at the basket from 15 to 20 feet and I would also think from 3. That will help our offense and make him even better offensively for us. Just watch some of his highlights from Europe; he was shooting a fair amount of...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    I predict if we get Kentucky in the second round it will be about equal in fans, or they will have slightly more. I’ve witnessed Kentucky fans in person and they swarm. I also suspect some cyclones might be saving their money for later rounds in the belief that there’s a good chance. The tickets...

    That arm seems ….. long. Thanks, AI. On topic: Pleta is awesome. He has continued to improve and gives us really good minutes.
