Three tickets section Z, Row 2 8-10. $60 a piece.

I am looking to take the family go the game. Was hoping to get something LL, but open to anyone that knows of 4 available tickets.

I am not complaining about anything in the game with it being a nice win, but our kickoffs seemed off. One of them worked out since we got a fumble on a short kickoff, but we had a lot of short kicks that resulted in decent field position and a kickoff that went out of bounds too. For those there, was the weather a factor in this? Our kickoffs usually go close to the endzone or into it, but they all seemed short Saturday. BYU didn't have any issues getting it to the endzone. Again, not complaining, just curious.

Post-Dual story!

Inspired by the release of a “new” single by The Beatles, “Now and Then,” this week’s topic is simple — songs with titles including at least one of those words.

We'll accept references in the lyrics, but ONLY if it’s the specific phrase “now and then.”

“On That Note” is presented weekly by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: Dead Man’s Party

I’ll start with the obvious track and we can proceed from that point, now & then.

Iowa State Cyclones guard Curtis Jones (5) looks for pass around Green Bay Phoenix guard David Douglas Jr. (15)during the first half at Hilton Coliseum on Monday, Nov. 6, 2023, in Ames, Iowa.



AMES — The theme from the first week of the 2023-24 Iowa State men’s basketball season was a refreshing explosion of offense, which is a nice change of pace from the grind it out style we watched in Hilton Coliseum during the first two years of the T.J. Otzelberger era. 



Iowa State averaged 93.5 points in its first two games in wins over Green Bay and Lindenwood. 



However on Sunday, in an early noon tip vs. Idaho State of the Big Sky Conference, the shots weren’t falling as freely as the games prior. That’s where old reliable, Iowa State’s suffocating defense – also known as “Otzelball” – came in handy. 



The Cyclones forced 24 turnovers, scored 24 points off of them and cruised to an 86-55 win – despite going just 4-of-13 from 3-point range.

I can’t make my iMessage work anymore. I’m relegated to the green bubble. 13 Pro. IOS 17.1.1

Have tried restarting and everything suggested online. Any other idea?

I got what I wanted to see today. I mentioned in another thread that I wanted to see how this group reacted to adversity. Well, in the second quarter they def received some adversity. Drake took them behind the woodshed and just throttled them to the tune of 22-4 after being knotted at 16 after 1. Many folks on the boards were full of angst and fear of how bad this team was going to be. I knew I had to wait and see what happened at half time. This is where coaching and determination come in to play. I wasn't disappointed.

In the first half we saw some good stuff from Crooks as she looked tough to stop underneath. The challenge was getting her the ball. The guard court disappeared in the second quarter and couldn't buy a shot when they even got a modicum of room to get a shot off. Drake was on fire and their defensive pressure amped up. On every rebound it seemed we got finger tips on the ball only to watch it go out of bounds. Just frustrating to say the least as Drake steadily pulled away. The sole remaining fear was the three point string would also end as the ladies had gone 0-6 in the first half. Some would say this thing was over...but it wasn't.

The third quarter showed us a very different team. One that put their work hats on and came out to prove something. The shots fell. Rebounds were grabbed. Flow entered the offensive scheme. Drake was feeling tons of pressure as the sisters closed the gap from that 18 point half time deficit until they game was not only tied, but the Sisters briefly grabbed the lead. Sadly, Drake is too experienced to fold under that pressure and they started answering back. The fourth saw the ladies shooting cool off and Drake hit some major 3 point shots to edge out in front...a lead they would never relinquish. In the end the score was bigger than what the game actually was with Drake winning 85-73.

Observations
The upperclassmen were hot and cold. Diew only shot 25% on 12 shots and was ice cold from outside. Her lack of physicality also showed up throughout the game as Drake outmuscled her on several occasions. Natabou pulled down six boards, but was hardly an offensive threat throughout the game.

Enter the force...Audi Crooks. What a game she had. She moved gracefully, put up shots strongly and pretty much had her way under the hoop. She ended up with 23 points, but only 3 boards. Why? Right now she "can't" jump. Standing used to get her boards, now, quicker players move around her and out hustle her to boards. Room for improvement, but offensively she was a force.

The guards. The first half was nothing to write home about, but the second was something else. Belanger couldn't find the hoop in the first half, but ended up with 11 points and made 3 treys in the second half. Some sweet shots. Joens was held to six points all in the second half on two treys. The rest of the guard court didn't contribute offensively. This has to change to win games like this.

The forwards. If there are some ladies that really battle on the court you have to mention Bristow and Brown. Both scored 8 points, had 5 boards, and had a block apiece. Brown fouled out as she has a tendency to swipe at things. They never took their foot off the gas throughout the game, but the defense has to improve and turnovers (8 total) need to go down.

So, what did I see? I saw true grit. Many young teams could have given up, but this one battled all the way back and made this a game. The team faded late in the fourth, but that might be explained by the effort expended to make that comeback. Get some scoring help from the guard court and this might have been a different game. One thing these ladies did was confirm one thing I've been thinking...these top rated players have game.

I’m stunned by the team performance last night and trying to compare this road win to others in the recent past. Beating Nebraska under CPR, Tex A&M, OU w/back up QB? Any others that come to mind?

Had to buy a new slow cooker, and was a nice reminder of how much I love making stuff in the crock pot this time of year.

What are your favorite go-to dishes?

Chili, pot roast, red beans and rice/jambalaya, and Asian-style chicken and broccoli are my go-tos.

That was fantastic. Great for the producers and great publicity for ISU.

Ok, that may be a bit much, but watch these two plays and focus on #3. Rocco tries to get downfield and block for Sama on both of his TD runs. In the first video, there just isn't anyone to block, and on the second, he can't catch up to Sama to help him.Either way, gotta love the effort.

Everybody wants to start off a football game with a lead, but in 2023's college football, it carries a new meaning of importance.

@cfchangs9 brought in Michael Egle (@deceptivespeed_) to explain why:

Just saw this!

Iowa State's inconsistencies showed in Sunday's 85-73 loss to Drake.
