MIDWEEK MAILBAG: I'm taking over for this week ... FIRE AWAY

[Dandy]

Chainsaw to your scrotum - do we get Cager?

Gun to your head: Red Robin or Fuddrucker's?

Among the possible matchups for Super Bowl LIII, rank your preference from most-compelling to least-desirable. Elaborate as you wish (both as a sports analyst and from a sports-fan perspective).

Basketball offense has been anemic at the end of games. Do you think it will improve?

 

[CloneGuy8]

Will we finally have an okay offensive line next year?

Caseys breakfast pizza; you going with sausage or bacon?

-With Solo out for the year and a possible medical redshirt, how does that shake up our recruiting if at all?

-What are your bold predictions for football next year?

-How big of a dumpster fire are the bulls right now? Did Hoiberg dodge a bullet in the long run by being shown the door?

Your best guess as to any additions to the football team by February 6?

In MBB, an assistant coach hands a subbing player a rolled up towel. Subbing player takes the towel to the subbed player who returns to bench, hands towel to a manager, who places the towel in the pile of rolled up towels by the assistant coach.

Apparently new for this season, what is the purpose of the towel exchange? Is it only done during home games?

We saw Re-al Mitchell line up as a WR in the bowl game, what are the chances if Purdy stays healthy that Re-al gets converted to WR? You could see the elite speed he has in the bowl game, gotta wonder how long CMC can keep him off the field.

remember Kansas having 6 players on the floor? Prohm's just ahead of the curve on this one

Huh? I think reactions have been pretty levelheaded so far. The team will either be playing in Des Moines in March as a two seed or the season is over and they'll be lucky to make the NIT.

Forgot about the conference championship that's pretty much the norm.

Bulls: Fred, we're letting you go.

There is a new posting for ISU assistant football coach. There have been a FEW scattered posts about Manning coming back. Anything to that?

If you could travel to any planet without dying, where would you go?

Can't pick Earth, obvs.

Among your responsibilities involved with Cyclone Fanatic, which do you consider the most challenging (more directly, "the biggest grind")? What task do you enjoy the most?

 

[mb7299]

As a kid what was the most freighting thing that is now something you like?

 

[Isu4meandyou]

Are you planning to go on vacation next week? I find it strange you're doing this now, and Cager is coming on an official next week. So, no guns or chain saws involved, what do you think the odds are of us landing Cager?

 

[scottwv]

Is the football field surface being "re-built" this year? If so, does ISU put in artificial turf or stick with grass?
