Give me your most unpopular take about Iowa State

Kim Reynolds is an ISU alum.

Jeffs pizza is overrated

That's just the truth. It's average at best when it comes to quality.

Until we get a new press box at Jack Trice, it's hard to fully shake the resemblance comparisons to a high school stadium

Mickey's is actually a pretty ****** bar. Not sure why it's so popular when it has the moving space of a Manhattan studio.

Mickeys when it was crowded at night always sucked.

FAC at Mickeys was always a good time. Dollar draws, free pizza, a lot of space on the back patio.

 

[CycloneErik]

Ok. I didn't know they had to wait that long.

They don't. Fred's went up about 2 years after graduation.

I would love to see pictures of a high school stadium that holds 60,000 people.

Jeff's is great when drunk at 2 am. The true best pizza in Ames is Great Plains

The Bugle logo is a nice secondary alternate logo

Here’s a take that people will hate:
Ejim’s jersey should not be retired. Niang and Morris, both yes. Ejim, no.

Yep, that's a poor take.

What's your reasoning?

What's your reasoning?

Here are career stats for two ISU players:

Player A: 1643 points, 1051 rebounds, 188 assists, 146 steals, 59 blocks, 0.497 fg%, and 0.305 3 pt%.

Player B: 1825 points, 666 rebounds, 308 assists, 134 steals, 82 blocks, 0.534 fg%, and 0.333 3 pt%.

Player A is Ejim and B is Julius Michalik. I’ve never heard people call for Michalik’s jersey to be retired.

Of course Ejim was awarded Big 12 POY and had academic honors, but I really only care about stats when deciding to retire jerseys. Plus, the year Ejim won Big 12 POY he wasn’t even the best player on the team.

Well, this is great timing since my hot take that I've been saying for years, just not on the internet, is that Julius ****ing Michalik's number needs to be in the rafters.

I mean, if people want to hang them both that would be ok with me. I figure you have to “draw the line” somewhere, and if Michalik doesn’t cut it then I would say anyone with arguably worse numbers shouldn’t either. But it is hard to know where that “line” should be, or what criteria to use to decide if a jersey should be retired.

It's tough to compare players from different eras. Who was the best player Melvin's senior year?

How do Montes numbers compare to curtis Stinson?

Too young to remember his playing days, but had Julo as my coach for basketball camp one year. Fun times.

Honestly I would put Niang #1, Kane #2, and Ejim #3 that year.

How do Montes numbers compare to curtis Stinson?

I believe Morris is ISU’s career leader in assists and steals, so I would think pretty favorably. I’d have to look into it more though...
Morris
1708 pts
768 assists
225 steals
516 rebounds
165 turnovers
.381 3%
.476 fg%


Stinson
1651 pts
448 assists
200 steals
524 rebounds
330 turnovers
.301 3%
.457 fg%

Not as bad as adding "C" in front of any coach's initials
