The infamous holding call

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Thanks. We're just at the start. He has no offers yet. I'm secretly hoping he has a great baseball season this year and decides he wants to go that route. Supportive either way but your perspective on things def changes when it's your own kid. And fwiw in full disclosure he gets his athletic ability more from his mother than he does me. I was a half - ass high school athlete. Good luck with your kids.
The process is very unique. We have one doing the baseball thing and it is much better than taking a beating everyday.

I would say Alamo Bowl and Outback Bowl are pretty similar and Liberty Bowl and Pinstripe Bowl are pretty similar as far as tiers go.
The Citrus is more similar to the Alamo and the Taxslayer is more similar to the Liberty.

Agreed. Hard sometimes to let your kids make their own decisions but at the same time you know that they need to. For now i guess just enjoy it and let whatever happens happen.

Behind you

You seem to be taking this personally and that's weird. I think it's great ISU made a ring for their Liberty Bowl win.

Such a Debbie Downer.
