lets keep in mind they were without 2 starters. If those guys play, I doubt we build a big lead in the first place. They would have beat us straight up.

We were cruising. Up 23. Then the wheels totally fell off. When we turned it over and then fouled them on a layup and they got it down to 14 I told my buddies we are gonna lose this watch. And they reamed me.

Let’s halt any conference title talk. We still could make a run but for me that ship has sailed.

Saturday is now huge. Lose that and then head to a much tougher team in Morgantown that needs quality wins?

We’ve now lost three of five. Yes this league is brutal but these past two games are cause for worry. Not for making the tourney. We will get there.

But my goodness. How we react to this loss is going to be interesting to see.

This is a problem now.

Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech have all had insane runs against us while we went into major droughts. It's not happening in Hilton. Villanova and kinda North Carolina had those against us in Portland too.

I understand P6 games away from home are tough. I understand that other teams are going to go on runs as well. But how are we constantly blowing 15+ point leads on the road? That should not and cannot keep happening.

Wife and I are moving to Columbia late spring 2023. Are there any alumni get togethers for games or just socializing anyone knows of in Columbia?

My 18 years old has to know. Who has guesses?

Very sad

The introduction of name, image and likeness deals in college sports has brought with it an entirely different set of problems for the NCAA.

On one hand, NIL legislation has given us incredible stories such as the 51 offensive linemen that signed an endorsement deal with Hooters last season.

On the other hand, you wind up with situations like former Florida Gators QB commit Jaden Rashada getting trapped in limbo thanks to a $13 million deal gone wrong.


It’s truly a double-edged sword.

Normally, that would be where the NCAA steps in. But lack of oversight and vague laws have made it difficult to do so thus far. Now that could be about to change.

NCAA Ramping Up Enforcement Of NIL Violations​

Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated reports that the NCAA is preparing to step up its enforcement of NIL rules thanks to a significant change.

The NCAA and enforcement staff will no longer be hamstrung by uncooperative witnesses when it comes to potential name, image and likeness (NIL) violations, thanks to a new bylaw that went into effect Jan. 1.
Investigators can now use circumstantial evidence (like a tip or news story) instead of on-record sourcing to presume a school violated NCAA rules. Schools can disprove the allegation or else be potentially charged. The move strengthens the enforcement staff’s ability to charge schools and allows more leeway for investigators. – via SI.com

Dellenger spoke with NCAA vice president of enforcement Jon Duncan regarding the significant rule change.

“If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck,” Duncan said. “Instead of putting the burden on the enforcement staff to always come up with a smoking gun, which we don’t always have, there is a presumption. It puts the burden on the school. It’s a really powerful tool.”

Duncan did not address any programs specifically. But his comments come at an interesting time. Not only are the Gators dealing with the Rashada fall out, but Michigan and coach Jim Harbaugh could also be in trouble.

giant welding table for sale. probably weighs 3000 lbs

There were red flags all over the place, but I dipped my toe in the water because I need this thing gone. they said "will you take a check as long as it clears before I send movers to pick it up?" I said sure. they send the check but it is for more than the price of the item and they say "oh sorry forgot to inform you, I didn't want to send 2 checks so you'll have to pay the movers out of the single check I sent you". It was a little over 1k more than the table price.

I said no, absolutely not. they deleted our correspondence. this is obviously a scam. but how does it work? If the check clears, I have their money and the welding table and they have nothing. If the check doesn't clear the deal is off, and I move on and no one wins.

Taking my girlfriend (who I have converted into a Cyclone fan) to her first game in Hilton. Hoping to be able to show her Johnny's as well. Please PM me if you have 2 Johnny's passes for this game.

Thanks.

I know the tentative plan was to bring Jaz back after the Missouri game. Does anyone know if he may play tonight? It may be good way to get him at least a few minutes since Grill is not 100%.

I have no idea what’s going to happen with Jefferson Adam this evening, and I have zero idea whether the staff would take two JC defensive ends late in this class, but…why wouldn’t you take a guy listed at 6’6” 270 who runs like a linebacker, and even drops into coverage?

The staff took several JC’s late last year, after all. I think he’s 4 to play 3. So, a sophomore eligibility-wise…as most of those late JC’s were.

Oh, and for ease of pronunciation, apparently his nickname is “Frenchy”.

Good morning all,

Below is a link to sign-up for a PPV access to our signing day celebration program. The event will feature interviews and conversations with Matt Campbell, Nate Scheelhaase, Jon Heacock and more. This is a great way those of you who can't physically be there to get some insight on the Cyclone Football program as well as help We Will and keep the Cyclones moving forward. Please reach out with any questions and appreciate your support!

Please let me know what you have for sale and price!

asking $299 each, but let me know what you think is reasonable. I have a D2 parking pass and 1 Johnny's pass that I can include as well. Tickets will be transferred electronically. Passes can be picked up at my home in North Ames.

Following can be found on the Athletic's website.

Coach of the Year
#5) T.J. Otzelberger, Iowa State. The Cyclones were picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 after Tyrese Hunter transferred to Texas, but they are in a three-way tie for first place and recently entered the top 15 of the AP poll.

Supporting Actors
#5) Caleb Grill, 6-3 senior guard, Iowa State. Grill followed Otzelberger from UNLV to Ames, and he has a knack for making big-time shots.

Worst Loses
#2) Eastern Illinois 92, Iowa 83. The Hawkeyes lost at home despite being favored by 31 1/2 points.

Pitt could be a sneaky tough dual, especially with it being the day after WVU.

WVU Dual:
165: Carr vs #11 Hall (Hall gave O'Toole a match earlier this year and likes to slow things down similar to Sheets)
Hwt: Schuyler vs #25 Wolfgram (Wolfgram isn't ranked very high, and Schuyler should win, but they have a couple of close matches last year)

Pitt Dual:
133: Redding vs #7 Phillippi
141: Swiderski vs #3 Matthews
157: Kraisser vs #33 Casto
184: Coleman vs #19 Heller
197: Yonger vs #2 Bonaccorsi
Hwt: Schuyler vs #5 Pitzer
