    *** Official UNI VS IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Prior to the game, if you were asked what the odds would be that the game would go into overtime if the following occurred, 1) UNI’s offense would not score a touchdown. 2) That UNI would only attempt two field goals, one just over 50 yards and one just under 50 yards. 3) UNI...

    Jay Jordan: Big 12 rankings for summer vacation

    Great read and analysis. I can't quibble with the rankings. A very balanced league indeed. Agree that ISU could finish third but could easily slip to fifth or sixth. Hopefully, cyclone fans are not too disappointed if that should happen. CMC has exceeded expectations based upon recruiting...

    Silvio De Sousa eligible for 19/20 season

    There are no rules if you are a blue blood. There are rules if you are anybody else like Iowa State.

    A group of my friends from St. Louis recently traveled to DSM to run in the DSM marathon this past fall. They stayed in an Airbnb just west of downtown in the South of Grand area. They couldn't stop raving about DSM. These are people that travel frequently for work and pleasure. I myself as...

    THT Going into the Draft

    The NBA appears to be moving more and more to a developmental league system closer to the MBL’s minor leagues. It seems to me this alters the type of high school player a collegiate program should target. Is it strategically worth it to offer a scholarship to a highly ranked high school...

    Cam Lard and Zoran Talley are suspended until December

    I agree with many of your comments and those of some others as well. Just to be clear. I fully support academic mentoring, counseling, life skills coaching, etc. Given the time commitment associated with big time athletics, this type of support is needed now more then ever. The more that can...

    Cam Lard and Zoran Talley are suspended until December

    Oh I fully realize this goes on and has gone on. It doesn’t mean that I don’t think its pathetic. I just hate to see us (and by us I mean an apparent significant portion of the ISU fan base) so ready to give up on the student athlete concept. It’s the primary reason I’m a college fan as...

    Cam Lard and Zoran Talley are suspended until December

    Not the point. Pampered athletes that require assistants to wake them up to attend class and drag them out of bars is pathetic. I’m all for the new athletic student performance center, nutrition, academic mentoring etc. But my goodness.

    Cam Lard and Zoran Talley are suspended until December

    Example of misplaced priorities. We have student managers who pay their own way to school waking up scholarship athletes so that they get to class and drag athletes out of bars. I’m a big fan, but that is a bit much to stomach.

    Pathetic. Should they even be in the B12?

    KU Players Address Iowa St Home Field Advantage

    It’s a toss-up as to who has a more arrogant alumni, KU or U of I. They have a lot in common. Both have an unusually inflated view of their academic reputation. Both are pathetically ashamed of their midwestern farm roots. Both desperately want the rest of the nation to know that they are...

    KU Players Address Iowa St Home Field Advantage

    Way to represent Iowa State fans !!! Perhaps more ISU fans than KU. KU players noticed are upset. https://247sports.com/college/kansas/Article/Iowa-State-home-game-Players-address-ISU-heavy-crowd-at-Memorial-Stadium-124192526/

    Zeb Noland transferring

    I don’t think this is just Zeb quitting on the team because he is not the starter. At least I hope not. If so I think he would have done this several weeks ago. From all accounts including the Purdy family, Zeb has been a very supportive teammate. I hope Zeb’s leave of absence is short lived...

    Best Dorm?

    Like you I had no idea what dorm to choose. Fortunately I had a family connection who was the director of residential housing. He recommended BWR without hesitation. Older dorms, so rooms are bit larger than the newer dorms. The complex is layed out in a clasical design. Buildings are only 3...

    College Gameday going to Washington State

    Pullman is probably the most isolated power 5 school in the country. I went to graduate school at the U. of Idaho. Moscow (U. of Idaho) and Pullman (Wash. St.) are less than 10 miles apart. I took classes at both schools. Moscow was like a mini Iowa City and Pullman like a mini Ames. Two...

    When did you become a Cyclone?

    2nd Grade. My elementary school (Gilbert) teacher was married to Iowa State's quarterback, John Warder. The first year of the Johnny Majors era. She invited John to class for a "show and tell". I was hooked. I began listening to ISU games on the radio that fall. Although as a third...
