Big 12 officials have now admitted mistakes that significantly impacted end of 3 games

https://footballscoop.com/news/rough-month-big-12-officials/

What can we expect Wednesday?

They are coached by Candi Whitaker, Texas Tech coach from 2013-2018. It's possible that's the reason we are playing MWS, although she was hired in April 2019 so this game might have been scheduled before then.

The school is Div II. They are in the MIAA, which includes schools like Nebraska-Kearney, NW Mo State, and Emporia State. Out of 14 teams, they were picked 8th by the media and 11th by the coaches. They were 14-16 last season.

Their tallest players are 6'1". Not surprising for a lower-level school.

They appear to only return 6 players, but they have 8 newcomers, only one of whom is a freshman. The other 7 are all transfer juniors and seniors.

The obvious focus of the ISU defense will be on Katrina Roenfeldt. Of their six returners, she is the only one in their top 7 scoring last season, but she was easily #1 at 16.2 ppg. She was a 38% 3pt shooter making 2.9 of 7.6 attempts per game. She was also their leading rebounder (despite being 5'6"!) and #2 in assists. She was first-team all-conference last season and made the preseason team this year.

As a team, they got around 9 steals per game (Roenfeldt led the team with 2 per game). They seemed to force a lot of turnovers but also foul a fair amount.

With a new coach and a bunch of new players, there's not a lot more to say. I expect them to be pesky defensively (could be a good test for our point guards), but I don't expect them to be one of those low-level teams that is able to stick around against ISU due to cohesiveness, as can sometimes happen with an experienced, well-coached team. With all the newcomers, MWS just hasn't had enough time to get to that point.

There's a group of us planning to attend K-State game this year. Never been there before and are looking for recommendations. Lodging, food, tailgating, etc.

On specific question I have is where they seat the visitors section? Some places it;s pretty crappy.

19 down to 14

Here's the release from ISU:

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head soccer coach Tony Minatta has announced that he is resigning from his position effective the end of the season.

Iowa State Senior Associate Athletics Director Dr. Calli Sanders accepted his resignation Monday afternoon.

The Cyclones are 3-14 overall and will host Kansas Thursday at 7 p.m. to end its regular season. Minatta will coach that game.

“We appreciate Tony’s committed service and dedication the past eight seasons, and we wish him well as he pursues other opportunities,” Sanders said. “We will begin a national search for a replacement immediately.”

Minatta was the Cyclones’ head coach the last six seasons, compiling a 33-71-6 (.327) overall record. His Big 12 mark was 7-40-4 (.176). He was an assistant at Iowa State for two years before taking the reins of the program in December, 2013.

Minatta’s best season on the sidelines was in 2016 when the Cyclones were 10-8-1, including a pair of Top-25 road wins. ISU was No. 48 in the final RPI rankings that year, the highest mark in school history.

Everyone survived week 8.

Below are the rules.

1. Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
2. Don't pm me the pick, post on here you pick.
3. You can only pick that team ONCE the entire time you are in the game.
4. The goal is to advance and be the last person standing.
5. You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch When making a switch please edit your original pick post. If you make a second post I will take that as your switching picks.
6. If your team loses or ties, you are out for the competition.
7. If you skip a week of picks, you are out.
8. You can switch as many times up until the game you have picked officially starts.
9. If you have questions, pm me
10. Post 2 of the thread will have players left and who they have picked.
11. Post 3 of the thread will have the possible games you can pick.
12. You can't join in during the middle of the season.

I figured this was thread worthy since it happens so seldom. Tyler Cook scored a layup with 16 seconds to go in a game in a 17 point loss to the Bucks. How long has it been since this happened?

Looking to buy two lower level tickets please let me know if you can help!

Nice write up, looking forward to watching her play.

Well deserved. I've seen Chappell live twice and will see him again on his next tour.

A funny, funny dude.

This past weekend, Jacob Park and the Missouri Southern State football team routed Northeastern State 86-7. Park had 8 touchdowns on the day (5 passing, 3 rushing). The game was surrounded with a bit of controversy as Park threw his final touchdown, a 43 yard strike, with 2:47 left in the 4th quarter while up 80-7. Many felt it was poor taste for Park to be in the game little own throwing the ball up by such a wide margin. Missouri Southern State is coached by Jeff Sims of “Last Chance U fame.” He was negatively portrayed while coaching the Garden City Community College football team on the last season of the show.

What is your take on having Park in the game and throwing the ball up 80-7? Is it running it up or just part of the game?

Couple interesting notes—-Northeastern State scores their touchdown on a blocked field goal return. Also, Park has 20 INT’s in 8 games.

This team is a dumpster fire. Not sure they win that game even with Mahomes playing. 3rd straight team comes into Arrowhead and punches them right in the mouth. It's embarrassing. I don't care if he goes 12-4 every year, he'll never win a big game.

Warning - 40ish man complaining about loud music ahead.

There are times when the sound system plays over the top of the crowd noise to the determent of the atmosphere. During the 2nd half on Saturday (I believe it was after we had tied the score) the crowd broke into a "Cyclone Power" chant during a TV timeout. However, before too long the music was cranked and the chant quickly died. By the time the game resumed the crowd was quiet again. This isn't the first time I've noticed it this season.

I understand that the music is also for the players. In general, I think the game day atmosphere inside JTS has improved significantly, and the additions of the scoreboard and sound system are part of the reason. If you don't love "Juicy Wiggle" after a 3rd quarter TD, you're probably a closet Hawk fan. However, whoever is in charge of the sound system needs to learn to "read the room" and occasionally just let the crowd do the work.

Unfortunately I cannot make it to the game due to work which stinks since I probably won't be able to watch it either with it being on ESPN+ streaming.

Hoping to sell here to help others avoid ticket website fees.

Shared OU page's response because it complains that fans didn't rank K-State even though the AP did. It wasn't the fault of fans, it was the fault of the poll. After seeing the poll for the first time last week I signed up to give a more big 12 look to the poll. K-State wasn't even an option to rank. Neither was Oklahoma St or Iowa St. Now time to research who I complain too.

Anyone reading the current rankings knows its extremely faulty. I'm positive most fans ranking did not do research strength of record for teams outside of the top 10 and just used the teams' records.
