    AP has Kansas back ahead of ISU lol

    And lack of a full complement of students! It was a break game. I was there and yelling, but it was not quite it's usual atmosphere without a full complement of students.

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    Yep. Want the ball, hunger for it, step up, and keep letting it fly.

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    I agree completely. The lack of objectivity is always a weakness and there's some not all or maybe even most who seem to think the refs are always out to get us. Anyway, back to the game, it was a drag out, tough game. Nothing lost with the loss except for the driver's seat to an outright...

    Respectfully disagree with that. "Nowhere near" is way off base. At worst, he'll get a shot and may only get a cup of coffee in the NBA. At best, he'll play 10 to 15 years. He has an unbelievable pull-up game from mid range shots, finishes and takes contact in the lane very good, great defensive...

    Great video of Sampson talking about the game tonight. The ol' Sooner sure is complimentary of our team and us folk: Pat yourselves on the back. He talks up our fans about 5 to 6 minutes in. Love it!

    Ranked 6.....sweet. Can we update the thread title to reflect new rankings?;-) It's all gravy tonight. Hope for the win. Could honestly get routed, but any loss won't hurt. Remember, this team can still struggle shooting and scoring. I know many have forgotten that recently with the "Is this...

    *** Official Texas Tech vs #10 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Agree with you that I wish we could play KU twice a year in hoops and that it doesn't hurt and can only help the metrics playing at KU. Oh well, this year Houston is one of those that it can only help the metrics game to play them twice since they're so good. Maybe we'll get lucky in future...

    I think they've got pretty good size pockets down there for basketball. Since Sampson reinvigorated the program, the donations are up big time and they've got several great NIL deals. From the "Mattress Mack" owner who has a reportedly $1M dollar deal with them, to this new thing being reported...

    ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

    Big Monday! And extra time to talk about our game in the couple hours before hand. Nice; now to just take care of business Saturday to set up one of the biggest late February games for ISU basketball I can remember for quite some time. Looking at the schedule, if the clones can win these next...

    Iowa State is the new Press Virginia

    Not sure if I agree with that. We love to trap in the half court. WVU loved to trap all over the court. UVA would largely play this "pack line" defense where it wasn't about trapping much at all. We're more like WVU in that we hand check, constantly are in your face in the half court...

    Cam Lard

    It's not about it being a public record. It's about having some empathy for a fellow human being. Just ask yourself if you would want people posting and talking about your mistakes or criminal record? That's the question you should ask yourself before posting about him, and I suspect for most on...

    Cam Lard

    Why post this stuff? Kick a guy when he's down? Lord forbid you ever make a mistake and someone posts it on the internet just to generate some..... what? Feelings of self-importance for being the first to break the news? Hope the best for Lard and that his life improves.

    RECRUITING: '26 Missouri guard wowed by atmosphere at Hilton

    So great. Love hearing a recruit say Hilton was the loudest place he's ever heard. What a special place; may we never take Hilton for granted;-)

    Let’s Go (home) Lions!

    Exactly. I want both to play great and this to be an offensive shootout. I would say I'm fine if Lions win as well, as long as both DM and Purdy do well. The thing is QB is the most important and most watched position in FB. QB literally touches the ball every play. So, that means Purdy is more...
