To put a bulk toilet paper purchase from sams club or cosco in a kitchen pantry with the bulk paper towel purchase? Wife thinks it would be strange, I disagree, came here for the poll decision.

Riding time

I have been to or watched 5 meets so far this year. The one thing I don't get is why we don't try to get riding time in a lot of matches. Yesterday there were at last 6 times the other wrestler was up and out in under 9 seconds and we didn't appear to even want to hold them down. These were tight matches and riding out a guy for 30-60 seconds would seem to be an optimal idea to tire the bottom guy out. Am I missing something here, are our guys just not good on top or is this something Dresser would be coaching them to do. I am a novice fan at most but it gets maddening to give up the point that quick.

Future Lineup discussions

So with all the recruiting talk. I thought it would be interesting to put current projections on paper

2019-2020
125 - Mackall - RJr
133 - Small - RJr
141 - Parker - RJr
149 - Degen - RJr
157 - Carr - RFr
165 - Straw - RSr
174 - Colbray - RJr
184 - Coleman - RSo
197 - Shapiro - RFr
285 - Gremmel - RJr

2020-2021 (I am leaving starters as starters and not guessing who might beat them out)
125 - Mackall - RSr
133 - Small - RSr
141 - Parker - RSr
149 - Degen - RSr

157 - Carr - RSo
165 -
174 - Colbray - RSr
184 - Coleman - RJr
197 - Shapiro - RSo
285 - Gremmel - RSr

Gomez will be a factor at 133/141
Carr could go 165. Leaves Schumacher, Mulder, G Stotts in for 157/165
Broderson will be a factor at 174-197

2021-2022
125 - Reeves - RSo
133 - Ramazan - RSo
141 - Gomez - RJr
149 - Leisure - RSr
157 -
165 - Carr - RJr
174 -
184 - Coleman - RSr
197 - Shapiro - RJr/ Broderson - RSo
285 - Dugan - RJr

Cam Robinson & Ben Monroe will be a redshirt freshman - 157?
Again have G Stotts - RJr at 157?
Again at 174, have Mulder, Schmacher
Again at 184 & 197, have to sort out Broderson, Shapiro and Coleman


I am not guessing on who might step up or who might transfer in or committ

Glass-half-full look at our schedule

I guess I'm more of a realist than a lot of people on here, but after thinking about out results so far, I guess I'm not as alarmed as I was a few days ago. We lost most of our scorers from last year. We had 2 NBA-level talents leave rather unexpectedly (THT, Wigginton) and our recruiting class and transfers weren't as good as we'd like. Was it hard for Prohm to recruit top caliber guards in November of 2018 when the recruits were thinking they'd be sitting behind Wigginton, THT and Haliburton? Maybe.

What were the expectations for this year given the attrition we had. I felt all summer and fall that this would be a down year similar to Hoibergs year 1. Lot's of close losses and a few bad losses.

Consider that there are 3 tiers of Big 12 teams:
  • Tier 1 = Teams you're going to lose to home and away -- Baylor, Kansas, West Virginia.
  • Tier 2 = Teams you should beat at home, but likely lose to on the read because Big 12 road wins are hard to come by -- Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Texas, TCU.
  • Tier 3 = Teams you should beat home and away -- Kansas State, Oklahoma State.
Using this criteria, here's our schedule color coded with green for wins against tough teams that I didn't think we'd beat, red for unexpected/bad losses, black for results I expected if I'm being honest about this year's team.

Win Home Miss Valley St
Loss Away Oregon St.
Win Home N. Illinois
Win Home So. Miss
Loss Nuet Michigan
Win Nuet Alabama
Loss Nuet Seton Hall
Win Home UMKC
Win Home Seton Hall
Loss Home Iowa
Win Home Purdue FW
Loss Home Florida A&M
Loss Away TCU
Loss Home Kansas
Win Home Oklahoma
Loss Away Baylor
Loss Away Texas Tech
Win Home Oklahoma St.
Loss Away Auburn
Loss Home Baylor
Loss Away Texas
Loss Away W. Virginia
Win? Home Kansas St.
Loss? Away Oklahoma
Win? Home Texas
Loss? Away Kansas
Win? Home Texas Tech
Win? Home TCU
Win? Away Oklahoma St.
Loss? Home W. Virginia
Win? Away Kansas St.

Minus the catastrophe with Florida A&M, I feel like we're doing maybe a bit better than I expected due to a couple of early season good wins. Hopefully we finish 6-3 and finish in the middle of the Big 12 as I expected.

Cyclones AND the NFL 2020: Off-season, draft, contracts, season review

I thought we could use a thread to post info on guys who have been in the NFL and MIGHT get to the NFL. We have some good stories from the 2019-2020 season such as Allen Lazard and David Montgomery, and we hope to see Hakeem Butler back and competing for time on the field next year.

I haven't seen much about our current seniors - at least the ones that don't play long-snapper - and whether we have a chance to get anyone in the draft this year. Maybe some of you folks that live in Central Iowa have heard more.

I'll post some summaries of the seasons that our current group had in the NFL this year.
