I thought we could grind out a W, but it was shocking to see a borderline blowout yesterday. The team is playing with more confidence, cohesiveness, and has unlocked a swag that is fun to see. I did not like the crew on FS1 much. Seemed less complimentary to ISU but whatever. Here are my game thoughts in no particular order.

- The road to a bowl: if we win at Baylor in two weeks and can beat BYU there's 6. I think TX and Kansas will be difficult, but Kansas just lost to OSU. KSU is playing a freshman QB who looks very good so that could be tougher than I thought two weeks ago.
- 3-1 in league play. (this is a huge if), but IF we finish 3rd in the Big 12, this is hands down the best season Campbell has had coaching. Losing Hutchinson, Will M to the NFL, then losing 5 starters this is wild what he has done this year. He has maximized the talent on this roster.
- Stevo Klotz can be a major asset to the team moving forward. We all knew he could block, but that TD grab in the endzone was a thing of beauty and he has some hops. Love this guy, he's a better version of Sam Seonbuchner to me.
- Rocco is continuing to play "Purdy like". No I don't think his ceiling is as high as Brock but I think this guy is clearly the future. He is accurate enough, smart with the ball, he can rush it for 5 yards when he needs to. A couple of his throws to Higgins on the sideline showed me too he can rifle a ball in when appropriate.
- I continue to love to see Trent Jones and Ike Ezeguo on the d line. Ezeguo in particular had a great move at the line to get a sack with Jones towards the end of the game, the offensive tackle guarding him lost his jock strap on the move.
- Jordan Langs on special teams: I don't know what we pay him, but he's worth every single dollar. Great hire.
- The OL is starting to play more freely, with more confidence, this is credit to Scheelhaase opening up the offense and not playing like the hawks, the pass game looking better, and I'm sure Clanton is really coaching them up too.
- Ben Brahmer when all is said and done I think can be better than Charlie Kolar at TE, and that's saying something
- Will McLaughlin continues to ball out at LB and think he's our best LB'er, he is strong against the run and pass.

Looking for tickets to both the Kansas State & Kansas MBB games. In need of anywhere from 2-6 tickets. Willing to split up so searching for pairs of 2 at minimum.

Thank you!

I know this topic gets discussed every year, but would like to adjust the question a bit. I know it has been said that we should fertilize our yards at the end of April/early May for the initial time. Should this be adjusted since we are trending towards warmer temperatures earlier than normal?

I don't know if this has been posted / is posted anywhere, but does someone have a game count by freshmen? Trying to track in my head which freshmen are going to get redshirted based on # of games they have contributed in. TIA

What is posted on espn schedule now....havent seen any release from iowa state

Enjoy.

I love the improved special teams and attribute it to finally having a dedicated coach to this part of the game.

Although I love the improvement, I also hate to think of all the games CMC has lost over the last several years by being stubborn and not focusing on this part of the team/game. We have left countless wins on the field because of special teams over the years.

Look at this legend in Swamp Kings

F/S 2 SEZ for KU Sec 20 Row 35. $200
Each. Also have A4 parking for $150. Trying to sell all together at this point

Is Remsberg now eligible? When will he play again this year? Or, will he play this year?

Anyone else having this issue? Logged out and then back in to see if that would fix the issue and still not able to see anything premium related. I pay $12 a month and just made a paypal auto payment Friday 7/28. Not sure whats up

3 up
Special teams. 100% in the kicking game (with one beautiful hold on a high snap). A fake? Is that the first one in CMC's career? Long return on a kickoff. Zero blunders.
No turnovers. Playing clean is critical for this young team. Rocco just taking what the defense gives. Rarely throws into traffic. Laid up a perfect long ball to Higgins. He has overthrown a number of times with receivers open in the past.
Aggressive offense. For the most part the offense stayed aggressive, even up late.

3 down
Wide open recievers. Cinci had a number of wide open receivers throughout the game. Luckily Jones either overthrew them or never saw them at all. A good QB will make those throws. May have been a different game if he hits a few of those. especially the wide open would be TD early in the game.
3rd down efficiency. Or lack thereof. ISU has not been good in this area all season and continues to be In the lower 3rd of the big 12. 5-15 today. needed to attempt three 4th downs. Luckily they converted all of them. Can't expect to do that week in, week out.
Can't really think of anything else. More or less a dominant win. Both on the field and in the stats. Can't pick apart too much with a 20pt win on the road.

Is sama dinged up?

Good afternoon Cyclones!
A group of us are heading to Cincinnati next week for the game and wanted any and all advice you can give. This will be our 3rd year in a row in attending an away game. We are staying in the the Over the Rhine area, so we will be a little ways away from the Bearcats stadium. Does anyone have specific insight on the tailgating situation? i.e. best lots to check out, bars in the area, etc. I have started googling but there isn't much out there.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Didn't see a 2026 thread yet. Please merge if I am wrong. Otherwise might as well get one started.

Omaha Biliew’s Bio on the Iowa State site lists him as the 3rd Cyclone to be on the McDonald’s Men’s All-American team.

The DSM Register lists him as the 2nd ever.

I know of Omaha and another (let you figure them out)

I’m sure to trust the Cyclones website over DSMR. So who are the other two?

Please help!

RECRUITING: 2025 Iowa State target @JamarionBatemon caught up with @cfchangs9 after his latest visit to Ames to find out where Iowa State was on his current list.

"Number 1, absolutely," he said.

4 all session lowers for the Iowa State MBB Thanksgiving Tournament in Florida. Something came up and can’t go so will sell for face value. $660 total all in.

Would sure like to see ISU practice and use the Hail Mary. Throw the ball a couple of times, if need be. Nothing to lose. Everything to gain.

From Minnesota.

Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman commits. Expected to play corner.
