Has anybody heard how his spring practices went and how they plan on using him ????

Former Iowa State staffer ... longtime Iowa State fan ... good buddy of mine Mitch Moore is now leading the way at Roosevelt, which is a pretty awesome story.

He came on the show earlier this week. Some insightful stuff. Talked some about Campbell too.

Iowa St.
Steve Prohm has taken Iowa State to the NCAAs in three of his previous four seasons in Ames, earning a No. 4, 5 and 6 seed. I'm a bit higher on the Clones this season than most, but don't expect them to get into the Big Dance with such a good seed. There are a lot of talented point guards across college basketball, but few will have as much responsibility or direct causation for their team's success like Tyrese Haliburton, whose sophomore-season breakout we should all see coming from 20 miles away.
The rest
2. Iowa
3. Northern Iowa
4. Drake

Will be in Norman next week, heading down Friday, leaving Sunday. Looking for recommendations to kill time, heard good things about Riverwind Casino. Are there any local food chains that we don’t have in the upper Midwest that I need to try while I’m down there? Definitely need to try whataburger, any other places would be appreciated.

Looks like the next 2 weeks might be very cool

As promised, I’m going to attend but I have bad news. No video is allowed. I’ll for sure have updates, photos and I’ll be able to talk to the guys.

West Virginia visits Baylor tonight on ESPN. Can the Mountaineers score an upset of the 7-0, #12 Bears?

I got to thinking, with our unanimous most hated coach off to Houston, who does Cyclone Fanatic hate the most. Post your Big 12 coach rankings from love to hate below:

1.) Matt Campbell - Pretty sure I love this man more than some of my own family members. What he stands for as a man makes him the best representative this University could ask for. Not to mention what he has done for my favorite sports child (Iowa State football).

2.) Mike Gundy - The mullet is unique and I love his honesty.

3.) Lincoln Riley - He finally rid the conference of a hated hawk. Seems like a genuine guy and I have a weird soft spot for OU with big game Bob gone.

4.) Gary Patterson - Seems to hold his players accountable and always gives us credit when we beat them.

5.) Les Miles - Quirky guy that is always good for a laugh or two.

6.) Chris Klieman - Born winner and its proven with his success at NDSU.

7.) Matt Wells - I've heard great things about him. Seems to be a class act.

8.) Neal Brown - Don't know much about him, which already makes him better than my bottom two.

9.) Matt Rhule - Whiny little ***** boy who put our players in danger by having the conference make us take down our tents. Not to mention the dirty **** his players pulled in Ames last year. Seems like a slimeball the way he flirts with NFL teams every chance he gets. Move on and let Rapelor fall to the bottom of the conference again, where they belong.

10.) Tom Herman - Dude is a real life cuck/swinger, was porking "recruiting girls", seems to enjoy bashing Ames and Iowa State any chance he gets, and is an overall douche. Horns down loser.

Big 12 coaches named their favorite bands...God Bless you, Matt Campbell...

Now I know why Rhule and Herman are so annoying.

What the heck, slow day. Post your favorite or worst stories. I'll start. Pretty smashed on Halloween in Grand Daddy's circa '83. Making great end of night progress with fully costumed patron. Dude looked like a lady! Dodged a bullet.. or something else that night.

Selling my 2 tickets for the Iowa game that I won't be able to make it to. Section 232, Row 8. Message if interested.

My predictions:

5 seasons of football (2015,2016,2017,2018,2019)

Conference=Still big 12 but with 12 teams
Number of bowls=One
Coach=Not Rhoads
AD=Pollard
Season Average Attendance=41k (2013 was 55k for reference)
Weeks in the top 25=Zero
Record=20-41


If you would have made this same guess in 2005 for the 2006-2010 season the W/L would have been 21-42

If you would have made this same guess in 2009 for the 2010-2014 season the W/L would have been 22-40 (assuming ISU loses out).

Your predictions?


Conference=
Number of bowls=
Coach=
AD=
Season Average Attendance=
Weeks in the top 25=
Record=

So this is cool... @JStanz51 advertised this site on one of the podcasts so I went to check them out.

The gear is pretty cool, but even better, they don't have toe apparel on their site (yet). Kind of cool that ISU got on their site first.

Here is the right up they have on Iowa State:

"ISU is Iowa's largest university, and has a rich history of incredible vintage logos that we've implemented here, and will continue to implement. ISU has one of the best home basketball environments in Hilton Coliseum, where "Hilton Magic" seems to always knock off top-ranked teams."

Kansas, K State and TCU all sanctioned for storming the field last weekend.

I just watched this movie. Happy Halloween. True story. It’s about a guy who relocates to a haunted mortuary and risks everything to rid it of the past ghosts. The guys name: Matt Campbell.

News just broke about 15 mins ago.

Gets going tonight with the Redskins @ the Vikings. Minny is in a bit of a groove, and even without Thielen tonight they should be able to handle the Skins pretty easily. I think with Kirk Cousins you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop but I don't think it'll be tonight.

Not much else of interest on the schedule. Maybe Browns @ Patriots just because the Pats finally play a team with some legitimate talent, but Cleveland has so many issues right now it's hard to take them seriously.

Packers @ Chiefs, maybe. Mahomes was already back at practice yesterday as a limited participant. I would guess they're going to play it safe with him and hold him out for at least this week, but if he does play then that game suddenly gets a lot more interesting. FWIW I don't think he's going to play; this is probably just gamesmanship to make the Packers prepare for both quarterbacks. We'll see.

Monday night brings us possibly the worst MNF game of the season - Dolphins @ Steelers. Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Mason Rudolph. Good luck dressing that one up, ESPN.

FINALLY!

It’s been a long offseason, with many changes and enhancements to WrestleStat. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably heard….(hint #FCW).
But, let’s get to the topic-at-hand, we have our opening weekend of dual comparisons!
Our featured dual this weekend is on Saturday where #10 Virginia Tech travels to #5 Missouri. This is a VERY even matchup on paper, with only 2 real weights where 1 wrestler is heavily favored, and each school has 1 of them. As you may have already noticed, WrestleStat is now keeping track of any streams for duals and tournaments. This event happens to have a stream available via ESPN. Catch it if you can!
Anyway, here’s our lineup:

Friday:
11/01 #12 Wisconsin vs #25 Army https://www.wrestlestat.com/compare/dual/77/wisconsin/5/army

Sunday:
11/03 #40 North Dakota State vs #56 CSU Bakersfield https://www.wrestlestat.com/compare/dual/49/north-dakota-state/21/csu-bakersfield

https://big12sports.com/news/2019/1...bed-as-preseason-favorite-in-big-12-poll.aspx

1. Baylor (9) 81
2. Texas (1) 71
3. West Virginia 66
4. Iowa State 49
5. K-State 47
6. Oklahoma State 39
7. Oklahoma 34
8. TCU 27
9. Texas Tech 26
10. Kansas 10

Honestly, I think 2-8 is up for grabs. 2 for Texas is generous IMO as Aston continues to underperform in getting the results out of the wealth of talent she has. Williams and White were her hardest workers last year and are gone.

Go Cards! If the Cards dont win, as long as the Yankees or Dodgers dont win, I will be happy.
