    So how good is the Big 12 in Basketball this year?

    I've noticed announcers, that don't cover the B12 regularly, mention how "physical" the B12 is and that the B12 is "letting them play". I worry that the NCAA might tell the refs to "not let the game get out of hand" or "turn into a rock fight" causing a lot of ticky-tacky foul calls early in...

    What would cause TJ to move?

    I don't think so. Part of the reason Johnny came to us was that Michigan's juggernaut football team so over-shadowed basketball, that he had to get out of football's shadow.

    ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

    I think if we down a couple of threes early, our chances become very good. If we miss those threes, Houston packs the lane and it could become a problem. Play loose and have fun will do it!

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    If you like the college game you should stop by Ames, Iowa and pick up an Iowa State game. Spend three to four hours tailgating before kickoff wearing 49er's colors or a Purdy jersey, and you will have more food and friends than you can handle.

    STORY: Free throws, clutch play lift Iowa State to second win over AP top 10 team

    I love my Twister Sisters and I'm sure it wouldn't take long for one of you younger folk to change a few words in this song (Texas Twister by Little Feat) to Twister Sisters:

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Do people think that a quarterback is only a Game Manager or a Playmaker? I think they have to be a combination of both. It is hard for a NFL quarterback to be better than average at both skills and it's rare for someone to be great at both but I think that's what we are looking at here...

    STUDENT CHANT

    1. I grew up thinking that college students were the more intelligent and creative portion of the population. The use of simple vulgarities does not impress me. I expect that from a high school dropout but not a Cyclone. 2. Using primarily simple vulgar language is easy for the opponent to...

    RECRUITING: Iowa State earns commitment from Army WR transfer

    I can agree with this. I have a nephew who was offered a chance to go to West Point to wrestle. He declined and went to Iowa State like his dad and two uncles. The fact his dad was in the Navy probably had very little impact on his decision.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    I think the MVP guidelines handed out to the voters start with: Most Valuable Player Voting Guidelines 1. A MVP candidate must beat Brock Purdy. Since Brock doesn't beat himself; he is disqualified.

    The apostrophe

    Should be "The Yodas' wish you..." or "The Yoda family wishes you..." If it's only one Yoda, then it's "The Yoda's wish is to wish you..." or "Yoda wishes you..." This is only one of the many reasons why I preferred math over grammar. BTW, not only do my grandkids struggle with the...

    On That Note: My Favorite Part

    I've always had a slight hearing problem. When I hear The Dave Clark Five's Glad All Over, what I hear beginning at 1:07 is: "Other girls may try to take me away, take me away; but you know it's by your side IOWA STATE! IOWA STATE!" Still does and I still love the Dave Clark Five for it.

    On That Note: My Favorite Part

    Many segments of Sunset Grill are noteworthy for me; like 2:40-3:14: When I had my big audio system, with the woofer cranked way up, the 3:10-3:55 segment of Bridge Over Troubled Water would just rattle my bones: I've always liked the sound of the cue ball hitting the object ball (e.g...
