    *** Official #16 IOWA STATE Vs #15 Purdue Game(Day) Thread ***

    Interesting....in the span of 2 hours, the spread has gone from Purdue -1 to ISU -1. Something happen that I haven't seen or heard? That's a big change in "bookie world".

    Observations from our Tournament Win over Ne-vay-dah

    yeah that poor Nevada player on the bench. Reminded me of Paul Shirley in 2000. Show him once, but after that it's over-kill. CBS will probably show that umpteen times in the next few years, and the poor guy will have to endure all of it...

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

    Monte's 4 turnovers are misleading to me. Have to re-watch the game, but there might be a couple where the other player fumbled the pass?? And another question.....does a blocked shot count as a turnover? I'm pretty sure Monte was charged with a TO (or two) in the Big XII tourney for a...

    I always remember Gus for his constant references to Kenny Pratt. Haven't heard one in a while, but maybe we'll hear another one this week? Absolutely love him calling games. Would take him over all the rest any day!!

    Predictions: nə-VAY-də vs. IState

    We'll be down 5-8 pts in the first 5 minutes, but will have gotten two fouls on Oliver while he tries to prove he is better than Deonte. We lead by 10 at the half and we increase that lead to 22 in the second half, only to win; 85-72

    Seth Davis doubts ISU again. Good, say the Cyclones.

    I was just watching ESPN, and was surprised that Fran F. picked us to lose against Purdue. He wanted to give apologies to "his guys Monte and Deonte", and hoped they would forgive him for his pick. A 4 v 5 matchup is probably a tossup, but given his ties to covering us and the Big XII all...

    Usual No Favors

    Playing late is like playing on Friday. Any upsets early should help any favorite team focus a little more. As for the bracket, I really think the committee was looking for an ISU/Kansas game at KC. That could be the best game of the tourney, and one that would require an NCAA disclaimer on...

    Nevada At A Glance

    My bet is that LE will help (just a hunch). I taped his championship game vs Nevada and watched it after our game. Nevada is okay, but nothing we should worry about. They do not guard the 3 well and if Colorado St had ANY inside presence, they should/could have won.

    Man-Man vs Mel-Mel

    Never realized until I read an article today that Monte's Mom called him "Man-Man". How ironic that we have had superstar point guards donning the number "11" with such similar nicknames.... So the question is, when number 11 is hung from the rafters, will you think of Monte or Jamaal first...

    Roll with Solomon Young

    The word on Young is that he is trying so hard NOT to make any mistakes, that it is affecting his game. Agree though that he should get some more PT. Holden is okay, and Bowie hasn't made a basket from 2 feet in about 8 games. I looked at the stats of the Vandy game and Bowie and Holden...

    It will if you have money on the game!

    Iowa vs. Miami (OH)

    Still hot over that overturned call. Biggest BS call of College FB all year and we haven't even made it past week #1!!! Rather than saying "the booth" or "someone in NY" overturned the call, I think they should give specifically the persons name that overturned the call. Not that I want to...

    Chicago info for those traveling

    I haven't checked the Chicago Alumni site, but they have had a few gatherings in the past at the Wise Owl (this is a name change from a few years ago. Don't know if a location has been chosen yet, but the Wise Owl is located 5-10 minutes from United Center; free parking and free shuttle service...

    3 Days Out - Iowa Tailgating Menu

    Cheesesteaks (ala daVinci style)!! I just thinly sliced up a 10lb hunk of Ribeye. Season with just the right amount of garlic and pepper, add enough cheese to make it really "sticky", and the aftertaste will still be enjoyable on my last belch before bedtime!!

    Monte invited to Pan-Am Games tryouts

    I've been watching Fred VV since the 8th grade. His game and Monte's are VERY similar. I would expect that it pretty much came to a coin toss; and Fred's college experience (final 4) came out ahead. It would have been awesome for Monte to make the team and get more experience, but it will not...

    91 blizzard home game against Colorado on CyTV

    Thanks for the info; I gotta watch that! I was there and "a few hundred" is probably kind. My roommate played for ISU, and we still laugh about him coming back to the house (which didn't have heat at the time) and never getting a chance to warm up. At least we were able to dress for the...

    Who has the phone number for Coach Prohm???

    I wouldn't waste your time. FHLMC/FNMA most likely have some rules deeply embedded in their underwriting guidelines that prohibit using income for a borrower going from a mid-major job to a high conference job. Now you have QM and ATR issues, and I don't want you to go thru all of that work...

    Keeping TJ

    If Prohm was able to recruit at a mid-major level and (by all accounts) succeed, then I trust he can recruit at a "P5 level". Valid question, nonetheless, but one could argue that getting kids to come to a top conference was never available to him in the past, so how may kids did he miss on...

    Prohm Hired As ISU MBB Head Coach

    TJ will be fine. I expect him to stay at least 2-3 more years, use the success we SHOULD have next season to build his resume even further, in arguably the best conference in the nation, and then someone will take him on as a head coach. His is probably top 5 in the nation right now when you...

    LOL!!! I usually type something, get the page cannot be displayed error, then always have to re-think my post. Thanks to all. I will continue with your suggested remedies. Was on CR for years; never really liked it, but this site brings out my edgy sense of humor :goofy:
