I noticed on the ESPN feed - #6 Wisconsin (puke) 16 -4 @ Nebraska 15 - 5 and my immediate reaction was great to see Hoiberg resurrect what was an abysmal start to his Huskers career. I recall a podcast with CW and Blum asking a realistic question if Hoiberg would survive beyond '22.

Even further evidence the B16 is not what is used to be...

Interesting 49ers story.

Second solar eclipse in 7 years that I plan on getting somewhere to see. In 2017 it was over cast during totality. That was a bit of a bummer but still pretty cool. About to pull the trigger on a room in Dayton Ohio the night before for about half what everyone else is charging. Who else is planning on going somewhere?

Eclipse will be on April 8th.

Traffic was a **** show in 2017 but worth it in my opinion as these are quite rare. The next total eclipse in the US wont be until 2044.

I see Tang apologized to the ref he bad mouthed (I'm sure he was forced), no apology to TJ.........

I often get a lot of flak about my previous issues with Robert Jones' play, more specifically with his over-utilization and playing time. I was often accused of having a personal vendetta against him, something that simply wasn't accurate. Statistically he was the WORST player during Big 12 play who received significant minutes. He was an offensive blackhole, a player who didn't possess the footspeed to rotate, and the stats bore that out. Moreso I was frustrated at Otz for (often) unnecessarily playing him a large number of minutes when we had a player (for most of the season) in Osun who was wildly effective when he played. While I do think Osun had (for whatever reasons) conditioning/durability limitations I still feel he was prematurely removed from games and could have (often) logged more minutes. As the stats show he was one of the best players in the league when he was on he floor.

Quite frankly I thought Robert was tapped out. Everyone knows he's not the most athletically gifted player and after being here a few years, being an upper classman, I thought he simply was who he was. But with a LOT of hard work and a headier on court presence (quicker moves and less forcing down low) he has proved me wrong. He has went from a -3.8 conference BPM, far and away the worst in the league in 2023, to a 4.4 BPM in 2024. While he's certainly not one of the better players in the league, that number makes him extremely valuable, when utilized correctly.

Thanks for proving me wrong Bob. Not wrong about your play last year, but wrong that I didn't think this sort of improvement was even possible. If there was ever a testament to what hard work can do THIS is it. Without spending the time to look I'm guessing this sort of BPM improvement, arguably in an even tougher conference, would be tough to find.

Anyone seeing this go down on X? I’m trying to figure out whats going on, so far I got, some guy made a documentary about Providence and Ed Cooley, a big east X account was taken down and Goodman DM’ed the documentary creator to threaten legal action. He is now getting roasted on X.

That’s all I have so far, I’m not really understanding what Goodmans beef with the doc is but if anyone wants to add some context please do.

Doc is called Devine Providence for anyone that wants to watch.

Hi. Any Cyclones making a trip to the ISU vs UCF men's basketball game March 2nd? I live in Florida & would love to meet some fellow fans at the game. Or any Florida Cyclones out there?

West Virginia’s schedule has been posted Anxious to see ours

Senior night is this Friday, which is interesting with UNI and Mizzou both at home later on.

WVU brings some solid guys into Hilton Friday night.

Top 10 opponents at 141, 149, 165 and a couple more ranked at 184 & 285. Their 197 was an ncaa qualifier last season, and their guy at 133 beat Redding last season (has struggled mightily this year though).

Good bounce back opportunity for Ech, and Casey has a chance to get a higher ranked W. David also gets another top 10 guy that nearly upset KOT this weekend.

Iowa State has moved up to No. 12 in the latest MBB AP Poll.

Thought this would be a great discussion leading up to the Super Bowl.

Think back 2 years, prior to the NFL Draft. What were your REALISTIC and HONEST expectations for Purdy coming out of his ISU career?

Mavis Beacon DIDN'T teach you to type. How this isn't the biggest news of the day, I don't know. I feel like my whole youth was a lie.

Who is winning Super Bowl LVII and why are you a fan of the Chiefs/Niners? Are you watching for the commercials?

The ladies are halfway through the conference season Sitting at 6-3. Most of us would have been overjoyed with that record prior to the start of conference play. But after seeing how well this team can play I know I feel there were so many opportunities lost. I posted in another thread that a 5-4 second half record is very possible. It could also be worse. BUT, I looked at the schedule again and I firmly believe this team can right itself. If it does it could win every home game and pick up 1-2 on the road. I could see another 6-3 record or even 7-2 IF the defense shores up. What are your thoughts?

Break out the fluorescent lighting as a once a year throwback.
