    This is great!

    Do you remember this men's basketball team at the start of the season? They were not very good. Remember the Iowa game? We were awful. Once again, The Mayor of Ames, Fred Hoiberg has done the improbable. He has patched together a team and coached them into being one of the most dangerous...

    QB Play

    your are right, of course. The answer is to get some better QB's in here. We are a rising program in a very strong BCS league that showcases QB's. There have to be some talented guys to whom that is attractive. We don't need a superstar, we need a good strong arm, but more importantly, we...

    Football Gameplan's 2012 Iowa State vs Kansas St Preview

    Well thought out, Diggy. but your prediction contains a miscalculation. Our front 4 is much improved over recent years, and those KSU guards are gonna have their hands full with them - leaving Klein and Knott free to mess up the Wildcat option. I agree - this will be a close one. But this...

    Thursday evening confession

    Naaaaaah. We just had the best home opener in the Rhoads era in which we beat a team that is probably better than Iowa. Jantz turned in a very good QB performance. Iowa, on the other hand, barely survived and has a pretty young group. I think we go over there, get what we came for, and...

    Thursday evening confession

    Eliminste the negative waves, man. It's going to be OK. We beat a better team in week one than we are going to face in week 2. We did it with a decent amount of pressure on the opposing QB playing everyone but the cheerleaders on the defensive line and using a four man rush. If we don't give...

    Key vs IOWA

    If we do not turn the ball over, we win by 2 TD's + I think our tackles will be able to generate a puch up the middle. That blows up the whole thing. Remember Drew Tate and the Hawks favored by about 20 in 2003(I think that is correct). Leaders and Curvey got a push up the middle and Tate...

    Player Question

    I have not visited this site for several months until just recently. Can anyone fill me in on Quentin Pompey? He was a freshman last year with a medical redshirt, I believe, after some knee surgery when he arrived here. He was a team mate of Quentin Bundrage just a few miles down the road...

    Tulsa fan here

    Thanks for coming to the game, Dirty. ISU is one of the better hosts for visitors in the BCS. I hope you enjoy a great tailgating environment and a great venue for college football. (It's killing me that I can't be there.)

    Info: Big Changes To Accessing Betting Boards, Gaming, In-State Rivals, and Politics Forums

    Re: Big Changes To Accessing Betting Boards, Gaming, In-State Rivals, and Politics Fo From this users point of view, it's another unnecessary complication. The site should be user friendly and fun. Losing my zillions of dollars of funny money for placing bets when you changed the site was...

    Reasons to be excited about the Iowa Game this year!

    I agree with the lines that say Tulsa is a better team than Iowa, but wherre they are wrong is Iowa State is a better team than either of them. This is the time of year when handicappers find low-hanging fruit - teams that are under-rated. I think ISU is one of those teams this year. I think...

    Feedback: Where did all my points go?

    last year, at the end of college BBall, I recal I haad millions of points. I have just come back to visit this board to have some more "betting" fun this season and I have almost no points. That was kind of a tough transition.

    Best team since.....?

    ..................'99 - 2000. That Tinsley - Fizer squad really was the best team in the tourney that year, losing to ultimate champion Mich St on the famous "BLARGE" call on Paul Shirley. Those two teams should have never been in the same region in the first place. Hope we can move up to a 6...

    Why did Scott Drew call 2 quick 2nd half timeouts

    And, as the final seconds of the game wound down, Baylor was out of time-outs. You're right - big mistake.

    Allen vs. Mcgee

    How do you figure? Allen's guy got 26 - a career high at KU. Allen's YTD stats look good, but they don't show defensive stats. He scores, but shoots a very modest %. I watched him in the KU game, and he was out of position on his guy a lot. I think McGee deserves more minutes. And...

    We beat two quality opponents and no one is happy?

    I am ecstatic. The cyclones are very unconventional with a point center instead of a point guard. But they are playing more consistent defense - just in time - and they are rebounding very well. This way, they will win a lot of games whether they shoot well or not. But when they play that...

    Iowa State & Iowa predictions

    I'm a contrayist today. I think both these games will be decided by 10 pts or more - In favor of Iowa State and Oklahoma. First, the Pinstripe: I don't see Rutgers winning a lot of matchups anywhere on the field. Vulnerable areas for the Cyclones are turnovers and Rutgers' propensity for...

    Congratulations, K.O.

    I watched almost every minute you were on the field in a Cyclone uniform. You stood out immediately. Strength, size, athleticism and that competitive spirit. You were a warrior as a senior, playing through pain and excelling. You have been a great one for us. Thank you. Good luck on your...
