RECRUITING: Highly touted Minnesota OL prospect Trey Boyd (@TBoyd2025) came away impressed with his visit to Ames over the weekend.

"I want to see everything I have first, but I'm going to be comparing it all to Iowa State, really."

This might have been covered but couldn't find it in a search. Last winter I couldn't get EPSN+ to work out of country using a Norton VPN. 86'd Norton and am asking what others have used to get into their ESPN+ account when overseas. Anyone use Nord and have it work in Euro or Mexico? Other suggested VPNs?

We have 1 extra tickets to the MBB in Austin if anyone is interested and doesn't want to pay crazy seat geek fees.

I knew that adding the new teams in this year schedule would prove to be challenging but never in my wildest dreams did i think that it would produce games like we have had so far this year in the conference.

I didn't think that BYU would be as good as they are. I mean looking right now there are 11 teams in the standings that have 14 plus wins. The leaders of the conference already have 3 loses . I mean i love the balance of the conference, it makes for great games night in and night out .

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Well if you got hired for 100% remote work, you better hope you don't work within 30 miles of Des Moines. During the pandemic, Principal went out on hiring spree where they recruited a ton of IT help across the country. Now if you live within 30 miles of Des Moines, even if you were promised to be 100% full time remote, you now have to go back into the office. So if you live 35 miles from Des Moines, we think you can do your job from home but if you live in beaverdale, get the **** in the office.

No helmets, but some authentic jerseys from 2018.

Would like 2 find 2 for the mens TCU game on 2/10

Saw that Iowa did what most people thought they'd do. Looks like it will stay the same old sh**

Looking for 4 tickets to the Tech game on Saturday 2/17.

Coming to visit our daughter who is a freshman and excited to go to a game!

Please PM me if you have 4 tickets available. Thanks!

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.

Was just reading Dressers letter about the RTC and Collective donations. Looks like we're at approximately $900k combined.

My questions...is this good enough? How much more will it take? How do we compare to other top 5-10 programs?

He said we had a shade over $300k for the collective alone...realistically what does it take to get us in the door with 2-3 high AA'S (5th or higher) in the portal?

Here are my photos from Friday night!

I think these might be some of my best!

Stealing a conversation from The Drive on KXNO yesterday as I thought it was a good topic. What player or players first got you hooked on college basketball? Doesn't even have to be Iowa State players either could be any player or moment that you remember as when you started to follow college basketball on a bigger level. Can even include women's players too if you want.

For me probably was the Hoiberg and Loren Meyer team that got me hooked on ISU basketball and the Willougby/Cato team too. When I went "all in" hooked was definitely my freshman year in college in 1998 with Marcus Fizer and I loved watching Michael Nurse on that team too. I've had season tickets every year since 1998 minus the lost year during COVID when only a select few could get into games during 20-21 and I'm probably thankful I didn't have to sit through that 2 win season as I've seen some rough years before but not nearly as bad as that one was.

For the women I didn't watch or follow them at all until my freshman year in college and Angie Welle was probably that player that kept me going to games as she was a freshman that year too but Stacy Freese and Megan Taylor were fun to watch then as well. ESPN+ has been great to be able to catch their games now as I don't have the time to commit to season tickets to both them and the men. I still try to make it to a few women's games most years if I can.
