Will Iowa State make postseason play?

Will we make postseason?

  • Yes NCAA Tournament

  • Yes NIT

  • Not at all


Results are only viewable after voting.

Vote and discuss. I personally think we will be alright, but we are really going to have to win 11 or 12 Conference games I feel. Our non conference schedule is pretty weak this season and we really needed a VT or A&M win to boost that noncon resume.

VIDEO from post-dual - Dresser, Frost and Swiderski

Hello!

Here is the video from the press conference. My phone was being weird so excuse the weird quality. Casey surprised me in his answers. Not what he said but how he said them. He was very confident and came off as a leader. I liked seeing that.

Post Farmageddon: Sunday Thoughts of Game

This is unequivocally Matt Campbell's best coaching season. Lose 5 starters in August, lose a QB in the offseason, hire a bunch of new coaches on offense (coming off a bad bowl-less year), and we circle the freaking wagons to 7-5. I'll say Fiesta Bowl win year was the most successful year, but this to me is the best coaching job of CMC's tenure. Off to the game thoughts:

Offense
  • It is one game, but Abu Sama is a unique RB. He does not have Breece like size but he has Breece like speed (which is not something most college players possess). I love his shifty moves, and his timing of waiting for blocks and knowing when to bolt has gotten way better. Unbelievable to see.
  • OL: how can you not love this group this year? Clanton has been a home run hire. On a lot of the runs both the tackles, Bonifas, TE's and multiple OL kicked the ass of the opposing Kstate defender. That's coaching.
  • Offensive Scheme - one of the things I love about watching Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers is I never feel like I know what's coming plays-wise. It is a unique balance of pass and run, and keeps the defense guessing. I see a lot of parallels to Nate S. with that, he just has the right "feel" to calling plays. Also, for any transfers or HS recruits how can you not love this offense? There are long runs, intermediate pass plays, deep bombs (like to Higgins last night). It's wonderfully balanced.
  • Jaylin Noel to me gets the award for Most Improved Cyclone. He's starting to evolve into an NFL guy.
  • Most underrated offensive player to me goes to Tyler Miller or Stevo Klotz. They made big lanes in the running game last half of the season
  • Rocco has been lights out second half of the year and could be all big 12 next year
Defense
  • Tyler Oneydim to me is the defense's MVP this year in regular season. Yes Tampa was also awesome. But all the stuff with the 3 man front: run D, eating up two OL, playing stiff against the run and pass this guy was just a rock this year. Not a ton of sacks but a dirty work guy who's just so good. If we pony up dollars to keep existing guys this guy has to be near the top of my list.
  • Will Mclaughlin had a nice tackle for loss and continues to get better, hope he didn't get too injured.
  • Drew Surges: he was second on the team in tackles last night. He got beat on a pass play and had a horrible PI called on him, but I was encouraged by what he did. He passes the eye test and is physical, he completely blew up a kstate RB on the sideline.
  • My #1 portal want is a defensive end who can sack the QB. We missed that this year in a big way (even though the defense was strong in most all games). Maybe we need to move Zach Lovett to DE as he seems like a little big for LB, but at 250 can maybe be our speed DE. Defense was phenomenal almost the whole regular season (minus OU)
What. A. Season. So pumped for a bowl game!

Women’s Team

Just saw an ad on Facebook for Iowas women’s team. Has anyone heard anything about the potential of adding a women’s team. Especially with the new facility I didn’t know if adding another locker room was feasible or if they could take over the current facility.

Just wondering as I don’t want us to start behind in the sport because we didn’t get it going at the start.

Missing NW Iowa Men

Talking to family over the weekend and they brought up these 2 missing men. I hadn’t heard anything about it.

First one is Mark Riesberg. He went missing in October. I can’t find this in the news, but according to my family his car was found on a gravel road with the cell phone and wallet in the car. I’m not finding much info on this one.

Second is David Schultz and this one is really suspicious.
He drives truck and hauls hogs. On Tuesday, Nov 21st he picked up a load of feeder pigs in Eagle Grove and was supposed to deliver them in Sac City.
The next morning they found his semi with the pigs still in the trailer, going north of Sac City.
The truck was in the road, not pulled off to the side and his wallet and phone were in the truck too.



Really weird, scary stuff.
Probably not related, but pretty coincidental to have similar missing persons cases close together in rural Iowa like this.
