    Offensive Talent in 2014

    I'd like to start by saying that this is a discussion about talent, I'm not drawing any conclusions about how well the offense will perform next season. QB: Rohach - Richardson RB: Wimberly - Nealy - Standard WR: Bundrage - Ecby- Lazard - Montgomery - West TE: Bibbs - Richardson OL: (no...

    Maybe turning the corner this year means....

    Not letting one loss turn into three or four. Last year's Texas game was awful, so we turned around and went to Waco and.... looked almost as bad against that putrid defense. Then we went to play what looked like a beatable team in Missouri and... let's not talk about that. Things finally...

    Jarvis West Watch: Unleash This Beast

    "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain I am like many of you: I love Jarvis West. He's a small, fast, and shifty weapon, and I hope we continue to recruit to keep a couple of wide receivers in that model on the roster into the future...

    Paul Rhoads and 24 Points

    This is nothing new, but I was looking at some numbers earlier that continue to amaze me. In the Paul Rhoads era, Iowa State is 18-1 when opponents score 23 or fewer points (lost to Mizzou in 2010), and 1-17 when opponents score 25 or more points (beat Texas Tech in 2010), with none of those...

    Kelechi Osemele starting for Ravens

    Good to see the big guy doing well in the league. Edit: He's in at right tackle.

    The Tip Top Lounge

    Not sure if this is the right place for this, but there's plenty of other tailgating-related posts around here anyway. I have been in marching band for the last four years, so I haven't gotten the chance to tailgate yet, but that changes this Saturday. One of the traditions, dare I say...

    "Hey, look at that freshman!" stories

    This is one of my favorite times of the year: watching freshmen be freshmen. It's hectic, frustrating and... hilarious. Thought it might be fun to hear observations and interactions with the new folks in town. Yesterday I saw three cars wait behind a stopped taxi on Lincoln Way for a good...

    I don't see an unwinnable game on the schedule.

    Tulsa- Slightly above average mid-major that lost its 3-year starting QB @Iowa- Coordinators, NFL-level linemen, and McNutt are all gone Western Illinois- FCS Texas Tech- 52-38, 41-7, and yet another new defensive coordinator @TCU- A tough game to be sure, but we might be the best...

    CycloneFanatic's Rising Profile

    This might be a dumb thing to post, but there's not a whole lot football related discussion until we get into the meat of Spring Ball. This week, David Ubben's Lunch Links have featured a couple of links to articles by Chris Williams. Say what you will about how much you may dislike his...

    Spring Video Loading Times - Help?

    I enjoy watching the spring practice videos, but I'm having a tough time getting them loaded on my computer at a reasonable speed. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process, or is it completely out of my control? I'm on an early 2011 Macbook Pro, so my computer should be fine.

    Your Bracket's Most Shocking Upset

    Let's see how dumb we all are. Most of us are probably competing against each other, so there's no need to reveal your whole bracket. I got UNLV over Duke in the Sweet Sixteen round.

    Big XII Tournament Predictions

    In order of appearance. Round 1 8 OU v. 9 A&M: This game just happened, but OU was at home. A&M is more prepared at a neutral site. 64-68 7 OSU v. 10 TT: Keiton Page beats up on a bad Texas Tech team, even though they're on the rise. 74-63 Round 2 4 BU v. 5 KSU: A defensive...

    Greg Davis is a good hire

    For Iowa State and the Big Ten. The dude was unable to change his offensive game plans based on his personnel, some of the top athletes in the country. If you can't go to a bowl game every year with the best talent in the country, how can you win at Iowa with developed talent? Maybe Greg...

    We should call this conference the Big X

    Pronounced Big Ex. It looks like ten, and then we don't really need to change the conference name if we add more because our conference won't be named after a number. But it would. It's totally genius. Sorry to dig up a dead subject.

    Kansas @ Mizzou

    If Missouri can protect their house, there will be a 3 way tie for 1st in the league. On top of that, if we can win tonight, we'll only be back by one game. I think I'm cheering for the Tigers tonight.

    Get to Hilton this Saturday

    Before you ask, yes, I realize the men are playing on the road. I'm trying to play to a bigger audience. This women's basketball team is really starting to come together. I think the close loss at A&M on Sunday gave this team the confidence that they can beat anybody AND the drive to continue...

    Big Games This Week

    If the Cyclones can beat Kansas State on Tuesday, we'll be in fourth place with a 2 game lead over fifth. Lose and we'll be tied with K-State and lose the tiebreaker. Fourth is a comfortable place to get a Tournament invitation, while fifth could be bubble territory in a down year in the Big...

    Why I'm cheering for Iowa to beat Nebraska

    If Iowa beats Nebraska, Nebraska will end up at 6th in the Big Ten. That would put Nebraska in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Houston matched up against.... a Big XII opponent. I haven't quite figured out what exactly would need to happen to get Iowa State on the other side of that bowl game...
