    *** Charter Information for Liberty Bowl ***

    I got 12th row tickets on the sideline for me and my wife for $300. Of course, I may end up in a sea of Memphis fans. I have so many frequent flier miles I haven't paid for a flight or car in years. Found a pretty reasonable hotel near the airport. Staying two nights for $130 Can't...

    Big 12 Power Rankings at The Big 12 BasketBlog

    One of the more objective analysts I have read. Hopefully ISU can rise up, but I think we all know there is work to do to get this team BIG12 Competitive.

    That game was fixed

    We need to have the list of referees posted as "Most Wanted" in Ames. In future games where one or more of them show up we need to be showing their missed calls on the big screen for all to see and boo them off the field. If the BIG12 had any integrity the whole crew would be fired.

    This game is on the ******* refs

    When even the announcers are calling it "home town" refereeing you know it is really bad. The refs decided to let KSU win and were going to make the necessary calls until it happened.

    That game was fixed

    If the Big12 doesn't censure that refereeing crew they have 0 integrity and there is no point in playing the games. They should just announce who the conference wants to win and everyone could stay home.

    That game was fixed

    Most blatant job of home town officiating I have ever seen. Did they ever call a penalty on KSU that they didn't overturn. I will say if Kempt had just thrown the ball higher to Lazard and/or Butler, those are completions. He didn't seem to want to use their height advantage. Really want...

    Reasons for Optimism (or, Don't Burn Your Tickets Yet)

    I keep thinking back to what Johnny said when he first got to ISU and didn't have the players to win. Paraphrasing: "If you aren't good enough to win, at least play an entertaining brand of basketball or the fans won't have a reason to keep coming." Last night was not entertaining.

    RECRUITING: Football commits

    If beating OU at their place and TCU this year don't help our recruiting efforts I don't know what will. What a different perception if we played for the Big12 championship.

    Remaining 2 open scholarships

    Do you think Conditt would need a year to redshirt? He might need to beef up a little to hold his own in the B12.

    Remaining 2 open scholarships

    Junior's Twitter feed seems more enthusiastic about the Illini, but I hope dad's voice carries him to Ames.

    Remaining 2 open scholarships

    Seems like Illinois is feeling pretty confident about getting Conditt. One of their coaches has a track record of developing big men. I don't think we have that rep in our coaching staff.

    Puerto Rico tournament still on

    Might be premature. They are looking down the barrel of a Cat 5 again. I hope for the people there that this one misses too.

    RECRUITING: Tyrese Haliburton taking unofficial visit on Aug. 25

    If we get Harris and Conditt to go with Griffin, who would you prefer for the fourth, Haliburton or Horton-Tucker?

    Who is the greatest Cyclone of all-time?

    Barry Stephens, Ron Virgil and Ronny Harris made going to games fun for the first time ever. Barry was a great shooter.

    Who is the greatest Cyclone of all-time?

    I was there for the Grayer years. He deserves to be #1 player. No one had a bigger impact. Niang was our best ambassador for sure. His personality was an amazing asset for the program. If we want to consider coaches as well, Johnny Orr has to be #1. The program was abysmal before he came...

    Purdue

    I think you're spot on. Michigan beat PU with small ball and we need to do the same.

    Purdue

    I was at the Purdue and Iowa State games yesterday. Haas isn't much, no offensive skill and other than being tall is a liability on defense. Swanigan is a beast, will have our work cut out with him.
