Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024

[NoCreativity]

I would say no because Seether wasn't a bad band. Fine Again, Cigarettes, Remedy, Fake It are all decent songs. When most people think of worst 00's bands I doubt more than a handful of people would say Seether. I remember donating plasma in college and Remedy came on and the phlebotomist taking my plasma and I were singing along to the song and a few other people joined in.

Ok, well we are both entitled to our opinions. I actually have that album from 2002 or 2003 with Fine Again. It's decent for that time period but just doesn't hold up imo.

There's not much substance to their music is my main complaint, same as Limp Bizkit and about 30 other bands from that period.

Fair enough. Agree to disagree. The 00’s were a mid era of music. 90’s were much better for music.

Hard to argue with the logic. I've heard the term "arena butt rock" for the bands of that time period. Every song sounds the same but man could they fill up a random small arena across the Midwest. For me I wouldn't call them the worst because there is way too much nostalgia for me but I can't argue that it was good.

Seether had some good stuff. The 2000’s had Limp Bizkit and you want to say Seether is one of the worst? Come on, man.

I take offense to this, good sir!

Wes Borland had some great riffs and the band were actually pretty good musicians. Were their lyrics cheesy? Yeah. But listen to some recent interviews with Fred Durst and he admits that.

People love to bag on them, but as a kid who grew up on early MTV pop and was an '80s metal head, they weren't any worse than that music...and I loved all of it.

Wes Borland was very talented. Too bad Fred Durst has one of the most punchable faces in the US.

The term I’ve heard is “sweaty butt rock”.

What’s going on here?

 

[Cyclonepride]

How about we talk about recruiting and transfers here?

 

[enisthemenace]

What’s going on here?

A good old fashioned cyclone fanatic argument about nothing related to the OP or about anything anyone really cares about at all.

We have our traditions. This one sucks.

Michigan State basketball receives bad news in J'Vonne Hadley recruitment

Michigan State basketball transfer portal target J'Vonne Hadley is trending away from MSU as he has picked up two predictions to commit to Iowa State.

Sounds like he might be getting close to announcing. Seems like it might the good guys but like they say it's not over until it's over.

Sam and Wes are both amazing musicians.

I remember when Hunter transferred within the Big 12 I thought these free agents bouncing around in the same conference would be rare, I was so young and naive in those days.

I know Chris Williams mentioned in his latest Williams and Blum podcast that there may be another person enter the portal soon that has ISU connections. Would that happen to be the Ballo from Arizona that just entered the portal? Would be a great get.

 

[Halincandenza]

Can't speak for what CW and Blum were referring to but I think they were referring to the kid they just landed. Ballo is going to probably blue blood or high dollar bidder.

I was thinking the podcast was after we already got the guy from Seattle, but could be mixing it up.

Yeah I think that he was referring to the Seattle guy that just committed. Really quick recruitment once he hit the portal.

 

[NiceMarmot]

Zero chance Ballo comes to ISU. He’s got blue blood written all over him. Just spitballing but think UNC Bacot replacement or UConn Clingan replacement.

If I remember correctly Kyle was super athletic but had that weird shot put style shot.

Yeah, free throws were definitely interesting. Shot 58% IIRC, but it looked like it should be worse.
