    What game or event made you a Cyclone for life?

    In Eastern Iowa we averaged one TV game a year, and it was usually Iowa. My dad put a giant antenna on our roof so we could get WOI all the way in CR. We could see the occasional WOI-produced basketball game and 10pm sports through some snow on our little TV. Now I live 700 miles away and get...

    What game or event made you a Cyclone for life?

    I really had no other choice, as a third generation Cyclone. I attended my first football game in 1979, a 38-10 win over Bowling Green. If I had to point to one event that turned me into a rabid, insane fan, it would be the 1981 win over Iowa. Crutchfield almost took his first carry to the house...

    Best Iowa State point guard

    Correct me if I'm wrong, Tinsley turned the ball over a little more than the others, but he made such amazing plays you would not want him dialing it back. He's #1 for me.

    TJ and Ref

    Retired in 2019 when we moved to Colorado. Didn't want to start over at the bottom of the totem pole again. I miss it, but my knees do not.

    TJ and Ref

    Coaches often treat officials as though they are not human. TJ treats them like real people, and trust me they appreciate it. He keeps it real.

    Big Streaming News

    You guys must have missed where ESPN said they want to pull themselves OFF other cable/streaming services and go it alone. We'll all end up having to pay for this.

    Are Free Throws really that hard to make?

    I'd think it would be pretty hard with thousands of people breathing down your neck and your adrenaline flowing. I'd also think they'd be used to playing in front of crowds by now. I had the same question and when I went to the gym yesterday I made 13 in a row with no warmup, so there's that.

    VIDEO: Otz goes off on Kansas State

    Regarding Tang's comments on said official, there is nothing wrong with an official saying to a player, "If you continue to play that way, you're going to foul out of this game." That is not chirping. That is trying to manage a game.

    Tang said he loves TJ. If that feeling was mutual, it's not anymore.

    Roll Back 2 Years - Post ISU Expectations of Purdy

    I thought he'd have a "nice" ten year career as a backup.

    Jon Stewart enters the Transfer Portal...

    I'm not a hater. He seems like a nice guy, but I never found him funny, or really even mildly humorous.

    Alec Baldwin indicted

    I've heard some productions have already started using "green" weapons that can be replaced on screen by CGI. With today's tech, I really don't think anything is going to change significantly from the viewer's perspective, but I'm no jenius.

    Alec Baldwin indicted

    I don't like Alec Baldwin as a human, but this does not make sense to me. He had every reason to believe the gun had been properly prepared by the prop master. It was a terrible tragedy, but I don't think anything criminal occurred.
