Tampa comes in @ #40 in PFF's Top-75 Prospects


Highest rated Big-12 prospect. Lil crazy to think it took the first Big 12 player is all the way down at 40...

KU fan callout. I know you're reading this

Ok, now that I have your attention, I want to make a request. When KSU and Tang's soft ass visit you guys this year, please get all the students and fans behind their bench to have their phones out and act like they are recording. We may not get to do it to him with the job rumors out there.

Also, it's complete ******** we don't play in AFH this year. That is all. Good luck starting tomorrow

Another #### weather thread

I know there is a weather thread posted, but if you are driving east bound on I80 near mile marker 49 slow down! Multiple accidents, 2 semis, 3 cars, 2 pickups, and 3 vans are involved in 3 separate wrecks. 28 degrees and still freezing drizzle. 6 state trooper cars slowing down traffic and checking vehicles. IDOT camera at mile marker 48 would have pictures.

New Spring ‘24 Roster Updated

No updated heights or weights yet—probably when summer drills start. For those of you who haven’t seen it, the newcomers are all listed. Nine early high school enrollees, the three transfers, and the “walkon” placekicker from Florida.

Oh, and grayshirt Carson Rhodes is unsurprisingly listed as an OL at 6’7” 245. Not sure how accurate that weight is—it was what they listed him at on Cyning Day last year.

Luggage

We've been using a hodgepodge of suitcases for years and have finally decided to get a nice matching set of luggage. Does anyone have a recommendation for a set they've used and liked? Not concerned about price unless it's obscene. I know I'm a lowly Hawk fan but any recommendations are appreciated!

Nice Guys Finish Last?

We find two people at the top of their games who are as much Iowa State as we could believe possible. They are both beloved and caring to people especially Iowa State and its loyal fans. How is it possible that we are so fortunate to be represented by two humble, mature, genuine humans who are absolute leaders and winners? If you did not know anything about them, and met for the first time and chatted, in those minutes you would quickly estimate them as nice, average guys.​


Tyrese and Brock are so different than what one would expect from athletic stars. I hope they never lose their charm and love of Iowa State.


Nice Guys Finish Last: Definition, Meaning and Origin​



Last Updated on
May 25, 2023
The idiom "nice guys finish last" suggests that people who are considerate, kind, and unassertive often get overlooked or don't achieve their desired results compared to more aggressive or less scrupulous individuals. This phrase can often be heard in contexts involving competition or pursuit, such as business or romantic relationships.
In short:
"Nice guys finish last" means that polite and considerate individuals often do not succeed due to their passive nature or the actions of more aggressive counterparts.

What Does "Nice Guys Finish Last" Mean?​

The idiom "nice guys finish last" implies that people who are respectful, considerate, and kind-hearted may not always achieve the success they deserve due to their good-natured attributes. This suggests that sometimes the world favors bold, assertive, or even manipulative individuals.
Key aspects of the idiom's meaning include:
  • Indicates that being kind, courteous, and respectful may not always yield the best outcomes
  • Commonly used in contexts of competition, such as careers, sports, or romance
  • Illustrates the potential disadvantage of excessive kindness or passivity

Where Does "Nice Guys Finish Last" Come From?​

The phrase "nice guys finish last" is often credited to Leo Durocher, a well-known American baseball player and manager. Durocher purportedly used this phrase to characterize the excessively courteous and less assertive conduct of a competing baseball team. Despite Durocher's assertion that he coined the phrase (he even titled his autobiography after it), some sources argue that the precise phrase he used was, "Nice guys don’t win pennants." The phrase has since gained popularity and broadened its scope beyond sports.

Historical Example​

"We don't subscribe to the one-time Durocher philosophy that nice guys finish last, but we have found on a number of occasions that nice newspaper guys frequently get beat on good stories."
- The Billboard Magazine, 1953
