    Is the ISU UNI game not going to be allowed to be carried outside of Iowa on Cy.tv

    Re: Is the ISU UNI game not going to be allowed to be carried outside of Iowa on Cy.t Good point. I wondered if Matt S. was just speculating on a potential blackout outside of Iowa? Although, I have the FCS channels and now I am not happy that I will not be able to see the K State, Baylor, TCU...

    Is the ISU UNI game not going to be allowed to be carried outside of Iowa on Cy.tv

    Saw this tweet: https://twitter.com/mattsarz/status/635973714216022017 Northern Iowa at Iowa St. will be available online. Not sure re: territorial blackouts (none? Iowa only?) Also in the last few days Fox College Sports took all of their live national member retained telecasts off their TV...

    Release: SCHEMATIC DESIGNS FOR SOUTH END ZONE PROJECT RELEASED

    I think you are right. No one cares about the overall structure size. They should have quoted the actual size of the video board.

    Release: SCHEMATIC DESIGNS FOR SOUTH END ZONE PROJECT RELEASED

    Wonder why release says says South endzone video board is similar to North endzone board. When it is actually nearly twice the size: 150'x36 verses 79.5'x36'. Twice the size of the current board will be massive!

    Jack Trice throw backs

    Thanks Joshusa. I wondered if it did because it is so hard to tell if there were two stripes on the side of the uniforms. Still I think Nike definitely would not want the three prominent stripes in front like the originals and could have influenced putting all 5 stripes in front like the...

    Jack Trice throw backs

    I always thought that Nike would not allow the original Jack Trice uniforms because of the three prominent stripes on the front. If we were an Adidas school we may have had the original version as our regular uniforms? Nike found a way around this by forcing us to go with 5 stripes. A good...

    enCYCLONEpedia: Deconstructing a cliche

    Since there were only seven games to look at in my analysis above, a closer look at the games in the four most important game factors (eFG%,TO%,OR%,FTR - from teamrankings.com) may help to give overall themes on how ISU overcomes dying by the three (which it does often). Or, how ISU does not...

    enCYCLONEpedia: Deconstructing a cliche

    Absolutely love your work! This whole 3 point shooting thing has been driving me crazy too. After looking at your analysis I decided to break up the games into three 3pt shooting categories to look for any patterns: Cat 1. Games we won where our pts/poss were top ten but our 3FG% was in the...

    Forced Upgrade of Big 12 Football Schedules

    Interesting that Tramel only lists ISU as having a OOC Rivalry game in the Big 12 (and the 4 teams you have listed for the SEC). That makes 9 teams available for the Big 12 and 10 teams available for the SEC. If the Big 12 would agree to an alliance with the SEC, I would love to see Synder try...

    Forced Upgrade of Big 12 Football Schedules

    A football scheduling alliance with the SEC, ACC, Pac 12 would be great for Iowa State especially if it has a clause allowing teams with long standing out of conference rivalry games (like ISU) to opt out of the game if they wanted. It forces teams like K-State to at least have one real game on...

    Announcement coming: "Cyclones.TV is the real deal"

    I agree with this. Fox Sports has already taken advantage of Cyclones.tv content during half time of an ISU volleyball game on FSN. They showed around a five minute segment produced by Cyclones.tv on Kristen Hahn. They even pretended like it was their content by thanking the Cyclones.tv reporter...

    DM Register Podcast - Randy Peterson

    In my experience, Hawk fans will downplay this game the weeks leading up to it as it just another non-conference game. But their actions on game day speak differently - the emotions take over. Tailgating in Iowa City is full of energy on Cyclone game day. They want to win this game so bad. Other...

    DM Register Podcast - Randy Peterson

    I think you are right that both coaches would value a conference win more. I disagree with RP on saying that both coaches would opt out if they could. This game is big for both Iowa and Iowa State in many ways - media coverage, athletic revenue, state commerce, recruiting, high school...

    DM Register Podcast - Randy Peterson

    Listen, I want the Kansas State game to be bigger than the Iowa game. But the heart speaks much more than the head on this game and the truth is that in a family split with both Iowa and Iowa State fans this game is bigger for me than the KState and other games. How many other games are as...
