Theres a free interview with Paul Shirley available on cyclones.com that some might want to check out. Honestly, the interview isn't any good, but it's interesting to hear that he's going to be playing with our guys even though he admits he has no post moves he can show them.

I wonder what brought him back to Ames? Interesting.

It would be nice to have him as the color guy on the CTN instead of the parade of yahoos we get.
he's incredibly intelligent and fun to listen to. I've seen him on cold pizza a few times, and he seems like a real camera-friendly guy. It'd be great to have him doing color commentary somewhere. espn should pick him up

If I were him, I'd keep a low profile around Ames. Wasn't he complaining on his blog that Iowa women weren't very attractive? I've heard that women don't forget and tend to hold grudges over stuff like that. There could be some "wrath" coming his way...

I think the CTN announcers for TV do a really good job. Paul would make an excellent broadcaster though.

He ripped ISU (and the entire state) once (that I know of) in his blog. Something like "I feel no loyalty to ISU". Maybe something about being hicks (that memory is vague).

Drew Tate has a blog?

Drew Tate? Blog? That's like trying to force two negatively charged magnets together, just doesn't work. I've seen his writing (it's pretty grammatically awful), but the thing that cracked me up was it looked like a 5th grader's writing style. :laugh8kb:

What are the odds that Shirley will try to get into coaching some. He has the personality that would be fun to play for and he made the most out of his career with very little talent. I would play for him.
