    ***2021-22 NCAA Mens Basketball Thread***

    Pretty ambitious ranking for ISU this early but amazing to be discussed with stature so quickly... we'll know a lot about this team's potential on 1/1/22: https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/College-basketball-bracketology-Baylor-rises-to-No-1-in-CBS-Sports-update-178003513/#178003513_3

    Iowa State - Texas Game Sold Out - Going to break a record

    If we keep selling tickets the SEZ will get done... and early season ticket commitments are key. Of course attendance goes hand in hand with winning but large crowds help wins and so goes the cycle. Cyclone fans have shown that committment over the years by buying tickets to sports with...

    ISU reaches out to the Big East

    I think the BE & remaining B12 schools should pull together the best conference we can... it would expand both of our market areas.

    Go to the Texas Game!

    A few friends and I just bought tickets to the Texas game (single game tickets went on sale today). Let's fill JT... it's the best thing we can do with all of this conference realignment uncertainty. P.S. Thank you to all of you season ticket holders... I'll join you next year.

    "ISU's Super Bowl"

    Typical Hawk squawk but kind of funny in retrospect and the first I've seem them give our crowd any credit on the football field (especially prior to a game): Here's the Thing: Iowa State - Black Heart Gold Pants.

    Monday Musings: Realignment Edition

    The Cuban article is a very good take on the situation in my opinion. Hopefully, the powerhouse schools listen but if everything falls apart, I just pray we end up in a decent conference.

    7 days & counting

    I ran accross this clip from last years game at Texas... still gives me chills! Just like the Nebraska game 2 years ago... the postgame celebration & the 8 turnovers. The schedule looks tough again this year but nothing seems impossible for these guys with Coach Roads & Company at the helm...

    Iowa State 2011 Football Prospectus

    Thank you for sharing. I thought it was an interesting, objective view of ISU's chances of winning based on our "past" performances. The reason I hold out greater hope is because of the intangibles that new talent used in a new ways can bring to a program; good coaches turn those intangibles...

    Pollard's Hire of Hoiberg

    I wasn't so sure about hiring Fred at first either... but at that same time, I was so happy that we didn't have to watch McD screw it up over and over again, that I was on-board for anything that could breathe new life into the program. It has worked out very well and Fred has already exceeded...

    2011-12 MBB Expectations

    I'm very optimistic (like most) but in my opinion we need a few things to happen for us to make the dance and start winning consistently: We really need someone to step up and be the "go-to-guy" as the game winds down. We lost 8 games by 5 points or less last year and we need to win the majority...

    BASKETBALL RECRUITING: Percy Gibson visiting this weekend

    Majoring in Arch & playing ball would be tough but could be done if he really commits to it. I'm not a Paul Shirley fan but he was pretty sucessful in school while taking a tough major and playing ball: Paul Shirley Earns Fourth Academic All-Big 12 Honor - Iowa State University Athletics...
