    BB facility photos

    Adding onto Hilton would have cost us 300-400 parking places and would have detracted from the classic achitecture of Hilton. We did the right thing -- for cheap money. How long will it be before the U of I builds its multi-million dollar practice facility -- six years maybe.

    Gary Thompson All-American Book

    Yes, I've read the book. And I was at Iowa State 1953-57 and enjoyed every minute of his success. Watched him score 40 against a good Vanderbilt team as a sophomore. Followed the team to Kansas City twice to watch the Big Seven holiday tournament. Watched the great 39-37 Cyclone win over Kansas...

    We have experienced tight ends coming out our ears. See my other post.

    ESPN's take on our recruiting class

    In addition to Franklin we have 6-4 Senior Derrick Catlett, 6-8 soph Carter Bykowski, 6-6 soph Kurt Hammerschmidt, and oh yes, sophomore Patrick Neal of West Des Moines, who came out of nowhere last season to grab one late-season touchdown pass and played some great ball. That's five TEs, all...

    Walk-Ons

    Re: Here's Your Answer You should already know the answer. Earlier this week the Woodley kid from Southeast Polk, an elite all-stater running back, announced as a walk-on. On signing day, two good prospects from Cedar Falls High signed on as walk-ons. That's only the beginning of Rhoads's...

    The Unforgettable NCAA Race

    What they were doing was yelling their fool heads off for their Hawkeyes and against Koll. I just handed them their heads on a platter and enjoyed the Cyclone moment.

    Importance of in state recruiting

    Of course ... ... you are right. But how could you think Rhoads could accomplish this goal in one month's time? There's no doubt he feels strongly about in-state recruiting. And I have no doubt he will be as successful at as was Dan McCarney. Paul is working on next year's high school seniors...

    The Unforgettable NCAA Race

    I have been on the scene at Iowa State athletics for almost 60 years, and have seen all of the good and the bad. But I will never forget sitting at the finish line during the NCAA finals last spring at Drake. Lisa Koll was just beginning to make a name for herself, and she lined up in a field of...

    Food for Thought at Miami

    This week, Oklahoma State hired away the Miami defensive coordinator. Believe his name is Williams, and he is a former Cowboy player, and a grad. Well, according to espn, the Miami coach issued a statement saying in so many words, "I will look for the best new coordinator I can find, and if I...

    Jamie Pollard's Status at ISU

    Get a life. Jamie Pollard is a brilliant manager. As a rival AD said early-on, "He's the first director I know who could read a balance sheet." He's jacked up the athletic budget from $20 million to $42 million. Iowa State's facilities are great and getting better all the time. Fan support is...

    Lincoln Suspends Downtown Arena Plans

    I can tell you that there is a nice ice rink south of campus that serves both our hockey club and Ames recreation programs. It's there because both the university and the city pitched in with funds.

    Last movie seen

    "Australia," with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Serious historical story in WW II Australia. Great wide scenes and good message. Saw it yesterday and love it.

    Quick HWY 30 Question

    Re: YOU'RE ALL OLD SOFTIES I drive C.R.-to-Ames for all football games and a dozen or so basketball games. It's more than half divided four-lane, and grading is underway for several more miles. Highway 30 is not dangerous and I much prefer it to I-80 with its stupendous truck traffic...
