    Any Lincoln vehicle owners here?

    My second car was my Dad's 1975 Marquis Brougham. It was about 10 years old when i got it as a college car for a couple of years. I really liked driving it, but it had a 460-4V, and keeping it fueled just got too expensive. For those interested in the 1970's Marks, this video does a...

    Any Lincoln vehicle owners here?

    If it's a 1972 Mark IV with cruise control, then you should buy one. Everything 1973 and later was ruined by the gaudy 5-MPH bumpers, but the post-1972 Mark IV's are still pretty cool cars nonetheless. If you are going for the superboat motif, 1970-1972 Continental will do the job. On a more...

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    I think this sums it up pretty well. ISU manages its high-intensity demeanor well enough most of the time, but it does get away from them occasionally. Last night, given the caliber of the opponent, ISU just needed to be a bit more in control on a few occasions. From a correction standpoint...

    Could this team become the best team in Cyclone MBB History?

    Something that doesn't get mentioned much about that 1999-2000 team because of the defense and toughness...that team was good offensively. They averaged 77.8 PPG conference/78.3 PPG overall, shot 49% FG and 37% 3PT. I think offense is an issue for the current team. I was looking back at the...

    *** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs Texas (SAMSUBA) Game(Day) Thread ***

    Often when "bigs"/post players come to college, they are kind of raw. Many of them "grew" into that position later in high school and they haven't played the position long enough to develop the position skills to the level that players at other positions have. That said, ISU seems to struggle...

    Would love to see those guys go Shaq mode and just throw it down when they are so close.

    *** Official Kansas State vs #23 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Every year thousands of kids go to college for the first time and many of them become college football and basketball fans. I will venture that poor officiating isn't going to prevent that from happening, and poor officiating isn't going to make existing fans walk away. In essence college...

    I going with the bolded. I'd be interested to see what the officiating budget is for the conference. Also, I don't think it's only the Big 12 that has this problem. I think it's time for the conference (perhaps in partnership with the Big Ten and SEC) to put together an officiating consortium...

    One can play help defense without throwing in the towel on perimeter defense. ISU does do it. But a problem I see ISU getting into is doubling players who don't need to be doubled, or trapping good ball handlers who don't turn over and can create from those double teams. I'm not saying scrap...

    Sometimes teams and players get better at things as the season progresses.

    ISU plays in arguably the best major basketball conference in the country, so it stands to reason that these teams have some of the more skilled players in college MBB. As such, it is reasonable to expect those skilled athletes will make a good percentage of wide open shots. Again, in...

    Because: 1) The conference games are the most recent games giving a better indication of where the teams are now 2) A schedule full of cupcakes with sprinkles tends to inflate stats.

    In conference play, KSU is shooting the 3pt shot at 36%, ISU is shooting 25%.

    In conference play, KSU is 6th in 3pt % at 36%...that's not too bad. I really hope ISU will not get sucked into giving KSU a bunch of open 3-pt looks because ISU is trying to force turnovers with over-aggressive trapping. I don't think that will end well.

    *** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    If a team can get to the FT line (and make the FTs), that team doesn't have to have a great 3pt shooting night. The problem in the prior OU game was that ISU shot the 3ptrs poorly and didn't get to the FT line enough.
