    Ames Tribune has a CCL website

    Pretty good writer...I enjoy several of her things but is one of the most annoying people to deal with. Pretty rude person overall, but I will say she has done a pretty good job covering Iowa State since coming here from Illinois.

    Surprise players for 2009?

    We need the surprise player to be a DE, DT or LB. That would be the biggest help we could find right now. If someone can step in like Maggitt and Laing or another feller and make a much needed impact alongside Parker and Lyle, we will be in business.

    Surprise players for 2009?

    I think Reynolds will be a good player, but am not foaming at the mouth like some people, haha. I am more excited to see Josh Bellamy to be honest. He at least has experience at WR. I think Reynolds will definitely provide a player with versatility but I see him more as a special teams impact...

    Question about DC Burnham

    Coach Pope was brought in to recruit as well, and very much is!

    Do you like new roster numbers?

    Remind me why it matters what jersey number a player is wearing?

    MBB Offers?

    Right now we have scholarships for Vanderbeken Brackins Garrett Christopherson Colvin Staiger Boozer Hamilton Pomlee Gilstrap Dendy Oliver Buckley So that is 13, we will most likely lose Vanderbeken and Brackins after next year so we have at least two scholarships to give out. My guess is that...

    Defection thread.

    Cody Sanderson had said that Cyler is getting married this summer, so that definitely helps work in our favor in terms of him staying. But who knows at this point. Of all the waits to lose someone 157 doesn't bug me that much. We seem to have decent depth there, obviously Cyler would be the best...

    DM Register article on Lucca and others

    Last years problem was that we had nobody to mask Lucca's shortcomings in athleticism. If the guys we brought in are what we expect them to be, Lucca has a chance to be hidden a bit in the defense and won't have to be expect to get back on defense as quickly in several cases. Lucca was one of...

    DM Register article on Lucca and others

    Also has great as the dream of having the players you mentioned above would be, it just wouldn't have ever happened that way. It would be great, but it wasn't going to happen. I think the best case scenario would have been for next years team to include Degand, Garrett, Johnson, Brackins and one...

    DM Register article on Lucca and others

    Cut it however you want but Lucca Staiger is the biggest loss of the three, if it happens. I know quite of few people dog Lucca on the season he had but he is still by far the biggest scoring threat. Of the three Charles has been the one I have been waiting for to leave. Like the guy, but he has...

    Great Troy Davis Read (pretty long)

    This article was from September, 2007. Sort of weird that it was posted now, but nonetheless still a great article!

    Former Clone Shawn Taggart Article

    Haha, he definitely isn't a mature player. I think it could more discipline to get him where he is today which Calipari offers and Morgan didn't. I don't think he will ever play in the NBA but he could have a nice career overseas. It should be interesting to see him beside DeMarcus Cousins next...

    Former Clone Shawn Taggart Article

    First of all Shawn Taggart is a starter at Memphis and has probably been consistently one of the best players for the Tigers over the last month. He has had quite a few of double-doubles over the last few weeks and has been huge for the U of M. He is definitely a different player than when he...
