    *** Official Texas Tech vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I don't even get upset anymore. I still care. Apathy hasn't set in yet, but I'm leaning in that direction

    2022 Iowa High School Football Playoffs

    Xavier is a 5A school playing 4A competition. They only have 1 title vs big schools ('05 Football).

    **2022 NCAA Tourney Thread** (including play-ins)

    I was taught that "winners never cheat, and cheaters never win". Someone lied to me.

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Miami Game(Day) Thread ***

    Anyone who is critical of this team is an idiot. They got to the Sweet 16, but got outplayed by a better team tonight. Kudos to Miami, but also a ton of praise + gratitude to this Cyclone team.

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Miami Game(Day) Thread ***

    ISU has had trouble with long, athletic teams like Miami. Please don't act like Hawk fans + start ripping on players + coaches. Game isn't over.

    Long two days left. Story time! Please share your own

    A few years back, a group of us went to a BIG college FB game in different states every year. That year we went to see Notre Dame @ Michigan. I bought a nice Michigan shirt while in Ann Arbor - just to antagonize Iowa fans. The next Fall, my wife + I were in the Amanas on a Sunday. I was...

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs LSU Game(Day) Thread ***

    I really like this team - they fight through adversity better than any ISU team I can recall in a long time. Every possession is important. Get a good look every time. Hold them to 1 shot on defense. Take care of the ball.. Then we have a really good chance here! Go Cyclones!

    Down goes Iowa

    Agreed on Fry. He started the Iowa arrogance. Iowa fans + media were so starved for success - they bought into what he was selling - and we were wiling to look the other way on how he got there. I've always maintained that when college teams get really good really quickly (like Iowa did in...

    Down goes Iowa

    Iowa benefitted this year from a soft schedule. Non-con was awful. Yes, they won at UVA, but they were down. Lost by 20 at Hilton. In conference play, 10/12 of their wins were against teams in bottom half of league. Other two wins were against average OSU + MSU teams. Zero wins against top...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    So much to be happy about today. Iowa's "run" in the NCAAs ended at 4:30 on the 1st day. Iowa fans are blaming the refs. Iowa fans are in "Fire Fran" mode. Iowa fans are ripping on their players. Aside from Iowa losing the game, the highlight of my day was Charles Barkley saying that "Iowa...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Anyone who defends Fran or Conner has their black + gold blinders on. Saw the McCaffreys in fine form at a HS game in CR in January. At a key point in the game, there was a foul called on the 9th grade McCaffery. Was it a travel or a foul? Debatable. Regardless, they called a foul. Behind...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    It's crazy (but mostly sad) how Iowa fans will routinely excuse the behavior of Fran + a few key players following a big win(s). Their "championship" is just another example. This includes both their on-court + off-the-court behavior (including Twitter). It's really sad + pathetic Case in...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    I find it funny that Iowa fans are referring to their team as "Big 10 Champs". Um, you are Big 10 "?Tournament" Champs. Flashback 3 years ago when ISU won the Big 12 Tournament. Hawk fans were quick to point out that ISU wasn't the conference champion, only the tournament champion. Kudos to...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Watching Iowa game at a bar in Frisco, CO. It still amazes me why they are so highly thought of. 12 conference wins - 10 against bottom half of the league - 2 against an average OSU + MSU teams - none against top 4 teams. Best non-con win was against an average Virginia team. More than any...

    I hate the Cyclone Power chant

    During the "F$%@ Bohannon" game, my 13 year old step-daughter asked me why they were saying that. During a timeout, I gave her a brief history (including "the shoes" story, the "fight" story, and his general reputation as a jerk dating back to his days at Linn-Mar). She replied "Linn-Mar...
