    Iconic Cyclones players and moments>>>

    Man, his missed PAT was HUGE! Do you ever get the feeling that this special teams gaffe has haunted us on special teams ever since?

    Anyone more excited about Charles Boozer?

    #3. He is going to want to step out of his brother's shadow, and become someone other than Carlos Boozer's little brother. I posted this a few months ago, but will post this again... I had the chance to ask Gary Thompson what he thought of the incoming recruits and he commented that we...

    Poll: Best Fried Chicken?

    Right on! Stroud's has the best yard bird around! Great place to go when in town for the B-12 tournament next year. Don't forget though, the old Stroud's off of Holmes in closed and gone. Only Oak Manor location is left (I think).

    Marty and Miller and Jon Miller

    The Jon Miller comment wasn't meant to portray new fans or fans from other schools as bandwagon fans. Rather, my problem with Jon Miller is one of credibility. He shills for the Hawkeyes 10 hours per week, and positions himself as the Carnac of Hawkeye sports, yet he rarely lets it slip that...

    Marty and Miller and Jon Miller

    In other words, he's a typical Hawkeye. Did anyone else catch him last week (or so) admit that he went to Southern Illinois, not Iowa? What a schmuck.

    Favorite Movie Line

    Many from Blazing Saddles, but especially... Madeline Kahn (in a darkened room to Clevon Little): Tell me Schottzie, is it true what they say about you people being gifted? Unzipping noise... Madeline Kahn: Oh, it's twue, it's twue!

    New Mexico officially asks for permission to talk to Alford

    Man this news sucks... Steve Alford for EIU coach for life! Can you imagine how bad his recruiting at EIU will be if, for some reason, he doesn't get the NM job? I also heard that Manchester is asking permission to hire him again, no wait, that was La'James International College.

    Let's talk about Coach K........

    This is true. Coach K was the leading candidate right out of the shoot when Lynn Nance was let go. Not sure how or why, he didn't take the job as it was offered to him. However, Lou's fall back of Johnny Orr wasn't too bad and yes, the initial call was actually made to inquire about Frieder.

    Duke and Kansas

    If you watch the games at these arenas, you will also realize that Duke and Kansas are, generally, assisted by the zebras. Duke in particular gets about every call their way. Okie State's players were hammered going to the hoop a couple of Monday's ago with no call made. At the other end, OSU...

    Any confirmation on this

    The five words each EIU grad needs to know, "You want fries with that?"

    Like TCU's Patterson...you might get another Jim Wacker

    Apples and Oranges. In eight seasons Wacker had only two winning seasons and was two games under .500 for his TCU career. Wacker was an offensive coach and not a defensive coach like Patterson. Patterson is twice the coach Wacker was.

    Here is what I am hearing...

    He's 4-0 against the Big Twelve the last two years. His teams play smash mouth defense. His offenses are fast and are balanced. He has established recruiting roots in Texas. He would be a perfect hire.

    The Johnsons

    Nice Blazing Saddles reference, funniest movie ever made. How about "The Brothers Johnson"... R&B/Soul group from the 70's. Yea, I know what you're thinking but I still think it's good. We could always go the big Johnson route...

    Coaching possibilities - Sporting News

    The word that I am getting from a large booster is that JP is looking for a coach with Texas ties. Think recruiting! Given this, I would hope that JP takes a hard look at Gary Patterson from TCU. Defensive minded, with fast offensive players!
