C'mon. It could be worse--you could be a Cubs fan. I seem to recall back to back conference titles for both basketball teams, a near miss to the Final Four, and Bowl games (and wins) much more recently than what--1907?
It's a great time to be a Cyclone. Wesley Johnson is one of the best athletes ever to put on an ISU uniform, Craig Brackins will be huge, Austen Arnaud has a cannon arm and throws a sweet spiral, there are real athletes coming in to join him, rarely has life been better.
After all when the football team was up in the early and late seventies, the basketball team was down. When the basketbal team was up...well, most of the rest of the time, the football team had one really good season.
There are better athletes coming in now than I have seen for either sport in thirty years of following recruiting. The women's basketball team would be excellent save for one injury. Jack Trice is finally getting upgraded. I'm seein' a lot to be excited about in being a Cyclone.
