    ISU Student and Champion Golfer Celia Barquin Arozamena Murdered at Coldwater Golf Course

    The “camp” is just across the creek to the north of where hole 14 fairway starts. You can see the open area in the trees in the attachment. If you play golf early in the spring or late in the fall when there are no leaves on the trees, you can see it while playing hole 14.

    ***Official Iowa State vs Kansas State Gameday Thread***

    The coaches are the ones responsible for not kneeling down and getting the game down to where we are punting with 10 seconds or less and a 7 point lead.

    Exactly. This why we need a new staff.

    Salaries Released

    According to this cost of living calculator, $275K in Ames is equal to $371k in Seattle. http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/savings/moving-cost-of-living-calculator.aspx So in a couple months he has gone from $218k to $371k in "seattle" dollars. I would say his move back to Ames has been...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    Agree. Not exciting to me at all. Solid coach, but not the "Brand Name".

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    Just got off the phone with a guy who told me the other interested guy is Kevin Stallings. I haven't seen this name reported anywhere else yet?

    Jarvis West Fumble

    My judgement at the time, watching the play live, was that Jarvis caught the ball, went to his knees, and that the ball was taken from him after his knees were down. When watching various the video replays, I did not see an angle that provided indisputable video evidence that that judgement was...

    Jarvis West Fumble

    Perhaps you can explain it then? If a receiver catches and fully controls the ball, then falls to his knees, how long after that point does a defender have to dislodge the ball (for either and incompletion or interception)? There is no definitive answer to that question in the rule, thus it...

    Jarvis West Fumble

    Exactly my point. It is a judgement call. It is not an issue of "understanding the rule" or not. This is not a simple "by rule" situation. The rule as written created a new "gray area" as stated earlier in the thread that I responded to. Many of us believe first the on field official...

    Jarvis West Fumble

    How long can the player be on his knees holding the ball before the defender hitting him becomes guilty of a late hit? 5 seconds? 3 seconds? 1 second?

    Jarvis West Fumble

    I think this is key. Think of the following very common situation: Third down and somewhere between 5-9 yards to go. Defense in zone coverage. The receivers job is to find a "soft spot" in the zone beyond the first down marker and "sit down" The QB throws the ball low to be safe, and to...

    Favorite TV shows that ended before their time...

    I loved Quantum Leap and Voyager. Another one with a similar "time travel to fix what once went wrong" theme was Journeyman, from a few years ago. I think it only had like 8 episodes and was off to what I thought was a good start. Then there was a writers strike, and it never came back.

    Get me lost in Iowa

    No list of little spots in the road from that part of the state would be complete without the metropolis of Moneta.

    Can we get rid of the charge call?

    You are exactly right on this, and the rule book even says you are correct that a defender who establishes position after the offensive player has left the floor is guilty of a block. I brought this up in a discussion here a couple weeks ago, and a ref who posts here said that he was told by...

    Referees

    If that is the case, and the "supervisors" of the officials need to make it a point of emphasis that the rule be called as written, and not just how an official like Hartzell chooses to interpret it. No official in any sport should have the right to make up the rules to what he thinks they...

    Referees

    I have read many of your posts here, and respect your knowledge of the rules. I, too, have done some officiating, and you are right that many folks dont know the rules. But there is one area that NCAA BB officials consistently misjudge. In the rules under establishing legal guarding...

    Ross Marsden leaves basketball team to play club baseball

    Ross was quite a good baseball player when he was younger, but gave it up due to conflicts with the summer AAU basketball. FYI, his brother is on the club baseball team at Iowa.
