I try to not cross-pollinate from any pay site, but there was a nugget about a wrestling recruit with an already storied international career who defected to the US and is potentially on our wrestling team as a 19 year-old at 141 pounds. I'll try and regain my purity by NOT linking but I'm really intrigued by this kids back-story and if he IS going to join our program...

I have a friend that is looking for 7 tickets to okie st. His family of 5 and parents looking for tickets. PM me or email me at [email protected] if you can help out.

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.

Any other CF'er's going to the game tomorrow in Morgantown? I work with an ISU guy and two WVU guys and we always make the trip from DC to Morgantown for football every other year and basketball if the game falls on a weekend. If any other CF'er's are coming, we are all going to be tailgating in the Burgundy lot. The best part of the tailgating in the burgundy lot is that I found out my hotel is dog friendly, so I'll have my insanely friendly and outgoing border collie pup with me until an hour or so before kickoff and he thrives on attention. Who else is going to the game tomorrow?

I got a good feeling about this one.

Stay tuned.

What is your favorite city in the US? Why? What top cities would you like to visit?

My hierarchy of top 3:

1 - Portland, OR - it is super fun and weird and goofy and doesn't take itself too seriously. Great food, bars, music.
2 - Savannah, GA - it is also super fun, and weird, but in the exact opposite way of Portland. It's so historical and grand.
3 - NYC - I love that there is something to do all of the time, day or night.

I'd like to visit Austin, TX - I've been to most of the other big cities in TX, but think it would be a blast to visit.

Thanks so much to @cyclones500 for another great suggestion!

What was/is your high school mascot/nickname and what were your colors?

My oldest child is 38. My youngest 23. We always required supper, no matter what time. We all sat down, ate well and talked or maybe rushed thru it, but we all sat down, and talked or had or explanations of coming or past events and plans. I hate to sound old but it was kind of cool. I see none of my kids passing the art of supper on to their kids. Not a complaint or a suggestion for others to follow. Just an older persons recollections.

seems so
obviously doesn't have the talent to compete with the upper echelons of the big 10, at least not yet

So I'm hearing/reading a lot of predictions suggesting we should handle WVU, and the logic isn't crazy. But I'm having a hard time reconciling that with how WVU played Texas. That said, I only saw snippets of their Texas game.

Someone who watched that game, help me understand. What should we expect Saturday?

Kind of wanting to create an ISU playlist on Spotify to listen to on the way to Morgantown.

Obviously Juicy Wiggle and Sweet Caroline are on there. What else is a staple in JTS on gameday? Bonus points if you know the typical part of the game so I could further refine when songs are played on the playlist.

Bet Coach Ryan is loving this!

Lots of good stuff about Iowa State in this preview. Sorry if already posted.

October 26. Section B row 4 seats 11 & 12. Asking face of $55 each. Can transfer electronically. 641-858-7115 cell

Just an FYI: Coaches and the team were at State Center last evening for the 37th Annual MBB Banquet. Good time mingling with players and coaches. Sat in the vicinity of Solo, Bolton, Halliburton and Conditt. Seems to be a lot of positive energy between team members. Lewis was nominated as the best singer/dancer.

I thought it was interesting that CSP made a strong point about 9 different ISU players with strong NBA ties. While looking in the general direction of Tyrese, he pointed out that seven of these players also had their degree from ISU. Probably wishful thinking on his part.

Enjoy.

I'm not an NBA fan - but did any player take a knee over human rights abuses or are shoe sales just too good?

Tickets for all games, except Iowa and KU, are available now for donors on the Ticketmaster website. Just got 4 for Oklahoma and 4 for KSU...limit is 4 tickets for each game. Holiday break tickets are $25 each while Big 12 games during school are $40.

The Pats get a light scrimmage in against the Giants without Saquon Barkley, Wayne Gallman, Evan Engram, and Sterling Shepard tonight.

Best of Week Six:

HOU @ KC - On paper it should be a shootout. I'm pulling for the Chiefs to get right and do the COlts a solid by knocking off their only serious competition for the AFC South. Getting Tyreek Hill back in the fold will be huge for them if he's activated for this one.

PHI @ MIN - I don't know what to make of this one. I think the Eagles pull it off but they've been a little up and down so it's tough to know which team is going to show up. Could have big postseason implications since both teams could be fighting for a wild card down the stretch.

SF @ LA Rams - Big NFC West game. It's too early for any game to be an elimination game but a loss for the Rams would put them at 3-3, trailing the Niners and Seahawks in the division.

DET @ GB - The Lions have a shot at bringing Green Bay back to the pack in the North.

MIA @ WSH - Sheer morbid curiosity. The team actively trying to lose vs. the team that unintentionally sucks. The loser will be the winner, with the inside track on the first overall pick.

Willing to buy 2 endzone tickets for ISU V. OSU on Oct. 26th.

Who's to blame? Ferentz? Doyle?

WHERE’S THE DOMINANCE FROM EPENESA?
It was supposed to be a two-horse race at the edge position heading into this season, but after six weeks, there’s no more debate. Ohio State’s Chase Young is having an all-time start to his season while Iowa’s A.J. Epenesa is mired in mediocrity adjusting to his full-time role. While Young puts up single-game pass-rushing grades of 90.0-plus week in and week out, Epenesa has yet to even crack 80.0 in any of Iowa’s five games this season. While the Iowa defense doesn’t allow as much freedom as Ohio State’s to attack, a player with Epenesa’s physical tools should be dominating regardless. He had a higher pass-rushing grade as a true freshman (78.8) than he does currently (76.8). The season is still young, but Epenesa needs to show us that dominance again soon.

Going to the Texas Tech game any ideas of what to do on Friday???
