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

    Thank you... fans will be fans, and every school has some classless ones. (I think they give master's degrees in it at Eastern IA U).

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

    Say what you will but I lost all respect for Coach Sampson after the cheating at both Oklahoma and then Indiana. That said, Houston is damned solid, and we fought well. ISU is a really good team.

    Coach K gushes about TJ and ISU in interview

    The thing about would-haves and could haves, There is no way to know that their careers would have played out similarly. Coach K (or Snyder) might have been a bust or might have seen the success he had at Duke (K State). Nice to dream, but no one will ever know.

    STUDENT CHANT

    To me, the 5 claps was a hell of a tradition that was fun, respectful, but helped establish the atmosphere of the game, and fun. Adding "you suck" frustrates me, as Cyched said, because it pretty much blows away all of that with frankly, stupidity. But nuance isnt a big thing for a student...

    I believe the same can be said for Wilt Chamberlain.... (like Manning, never winning in Ames)

    Twister Sister Summary - ladies grind one out…

    First off, nice discussion, with a lot of good points. All I want to say is that as a Cyclone, I have to appreciate and be a fan of UNI. Pretty class act who is in the dumps with huge injury issues. As Coach said last night in the presser, if they get healthy they will be a force in the...

    Dont you know that sites like this are a place where much more accomplished strategists than the coaches talk. I know it is fair to be critical-- that is what a fan is about but with a predominantly freshmen team lets just acknowledge how well they did with the 4th ranked team in the country...

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    Bad calls happen, but OSU has had 2 critical non-calls (the last one with not even a review). I will be so glad when Texas and OU are gone.

    NOTEBOOK: On Jaylin Noel’s near TD on a kick return that was called back and more from ISU’s 28-21 loss to Kansas

    I know this approaches dead horse beating, but another view of the play at the 31... the Noel foot you are blocked from seeing is his left foot plant, and seeing the (right foot) step before and after are both in and his stride is normal just adds to the now obvious "he did not step out"...
