    Five takeaways from Iowa State's loss to Cincinnati

    Excellent analysis by Chris Williams. I think the most telling part is the "my turn, your turn" comment. Ball movement is clearly the missing element. It is just extremely easy to defend a team when you can count on them to dribble first, and attack from only one are of the floor in the half...

    Is it Realistic Our Defense Can Improve?

    OH GOSH, thanks for the analysis. I'm so glad you pointed that out. Let me point a couple of things out to you, Mr. Helpful. Heart, effort, and toughness isn't measured by how many minutes you play when too many of those defensive and rebounding minutes have been spent WATCHING OTHERS slash...

    Is it Realistic Our Defense Can Improve?

    This is exactly the wrong way to look at it. We were counting on that last year also when we put out such a great tournament defensive effort that we fell to mighty UAB. If you don't play defense every day there is absolutely no way you can just turn it on one day because the tournament...

    Prohm: McKay's suspension remains indefinite

    Agree. But, more than that, he needs to learn to respect the Coach. Yes, college kids do dumb things. But, would Prohm really be doing McKay a service if he allowed bad behavior to continue? Best time to learn and grow is now for McKay. If Jameel can learn to accept coaching, Prohm may have...

    Time to start listening to coach

    I like it! Would you coach the team for something under 3 million per year?

    Time to start listening to coach

    I think Niang needs to call some guys out on the team. Beginning with himself. I've had enough of his post game analysis.

    Prohm

    Time for the Coach to coach Steve Prohm walked into a very difficult situation - successful team, big egos, previous NBA style play which was supported and nurtured by a hugely popular and successful previous coach. There have been hundreds of Cyclone player quotes essentially indicating that...

    New Commit--Mike Smith

    Ouch!! Sorry, I should never have dared to question the fact that this year's recruits are not up to BIG 12 standards. Or were you thinking you were on the UNI site?? How dare I express support for the coach, but also express concern about the level of recruits we seem to be drawing in...

    New Commit--Mike Smith

    It doesn't make you a non-fan just because you think maybe we ought to sign a kid or two that actually holds another Power 5 offer. Yes, some 2 stars and lowers become solid players. But on average, they don't. As long as we are stealing players from South Dakota, and Georgia Southern it has...

    ISU Football & Unrealistic Expectations

    This is a great post. Add one more (going back aways) - Johnny Majors at Pittsburgh With that said I still don't know if anyone on campus knows how to find that guy that can perform this at Iowa State. Chizik has proven he's not a head coach - but how did he get good recruits that Paul Rhoads...

    It's all about Big 12 level players...

    It doesn't matter how good a coach you are if you just don't have enough players that are physically gifted enough to compete at the Big 12 level. The bottom line is that too many of our players don't belong at this level. Coaching certainly does matter - look at Michigan and Florida this year...

    When did you attend your first ISU football game and opponent - score?

    1978 vs Colorado. Earle Bruce vs Bill Mallory. Best memory is of Dexter Green getting helmet ripped off and going for 40 yards without a hat. Those were really great teams. Solid line talent with great skill players. But, for my money the best all time ISU team was the 1976 team that went...

    Jamahl Johnson - new commit

    Yes, that is true. But, if you look back over the years with Paul Rhoads and his staff recruiting there have been too many players like this. For every one that pans out there are 3 that don't and that leaves you with a talent level that is not Big 12 compatible. I don't know if anyone else...

    Jamahl Johnson - new commit

    Sure glad we could beat out South Dakota for him.... There's a powerhouse football program there in Vermillion. Ok maybe the guy is a diamond in the rough. But, I live 30 miles from him, follow high school football closely, and have never heard of him. When we start getting more recruits...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    THIS EXACTLY. I am so completely underwhelmed by the list of coaches being tossed about. With Hornacek out, do we really have to go to a half way successful guy like high major Dana Altman, or a relatively unknown low level mid major coach??? For those with short memories, Dana Altman...
