    Next coach?

    I keep thinking back to when Cael left for PSU. It wasn't only salary issues, I think Pollard offered to up the amount Sanderson was getting. PSU was offering a big shiny new temple to wrestling funded by some deep pocket supporter. Do we have to go down the path of facility upgrade to get a...

    Does our football program have number retired???

    From the Mike Cox era....Dave Hoppmann, Tom Watkins, Tom Vaughn, Dwight Nichols. And prior to that, Jim Doran and Ed Bock.

    Hallice Cooke "clears the air" on Twitter

    So how many games was he suspended? I thought it was a one game suspension which would have been K-State.

    More new coaches confirmed...

    I suppose there is a risk in bringing the 'old' staff along with the new HC. You aren't finding out if you could have gotten anyone 'better.' That's offset, IMHO, by being able to hit the ground running, evaluate the team members and recruits, establish recruiting responsibilities, etc. I do...

    New P5 (or P6) Conference...Give the Texas and OK the finger...The Big X

    Don't mean any disrespect, sir, but apparently the page in your dictionary in the "r's" where REALITY would be is missing. If geography is involved, why not include the Hoks? Why would those BIG teams willingly leave the cash that tOSU, UM, PSU football generate? CO had been thinking it...

    Sturdy....

    I was impressed with the seamless deployment of different offensive packages to match what the OC wanted to run. Perhaps the same pages from the old playbook, but great situational control with less than a week to put things together.

    Chris Booker Dodge City C.C.

    Before the internet and social media, we might never have known that he committed to ISU and then de-committed. Thank heavens for technology!

    Prohm's in the Bigs now...

    Went to the M&W BB coming out party last Friday. #1 son there had been 8,000 at last year's event. It looked like there were about that many again this year. Out of curiosity I checked the capacity of Murray State's gym. Officially it's 8,602. The record is 8,800 something, during the Prohm...

    Chatmon, ESPN: Another Embarrassing Outcome for Iowa State?

    This...... And as far as Baylor/TCU/OU caring about KU and ISU, the only part of their teams that are concerned about us are the reserves who see the KU/ISU games as a chance to get some serious playing time.

    Lefties ISU history.

    Why am I remembering Barry Stevens as being lefthanded?

    How can the offensive line be that bad?

    Solution: 7x35 wide angle binoculars. Use them and you can see like you're in your man cave. And you get to keep enjoying the tailgate party!

    Bowlsby: Feels "Pretty Good" about Deregulating Title Game

    I'm guessing that the conference would take about 1.5 seconds to decide to have a championship game. Jerry Jones would be right behind the AD's/Presidents in making it happen. But, do we go to divisions again, or simply have the top two of the 10 play for the title in Jerry's Jungle?

    Jack Trice throwback uniforms again?

    So who decides which uni is going to be worn for a given game? Are the players who wanted another uni choice so upset they don't play well? Too many options might not be a good thing...:-)

    ESPN kickoff game NDSU #1 at Montana #12

    Lakes certainly used the 'inexperienced' and 'injuries' crutches a lot in the Grizz game. Thought they had the 'inexperience' thing last year. Didn't seem to hurt them much.
