    Add a forum for ONLY ISU athletics. Under "Iowa State" "General discussion" option I get all the political, technology (Ocho), and other unrelated posts. I come to CF only for the ISU athletics info and wany to be able to easily filter out the rest. Is there a way to identify one forum and the...

    What was your go-to crappy college beer?

    Black Label & Oly. We had to import Coors from Colorado. Bud - I recall getting a 6-pack for $.69.

    Kenpom - OppD

    I believe the AdjO is the calculation of how many points we'd score in 100 possessions at the rate we score during games. We'd score more than any other team. The AdjD is the number of points we'd allow our opponents to score in 100 possessions at the rate they have scored against us this season.

    Book recommendations?

    Game of Thrones series is excellent. Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy is exceptional SciFi Jo Nesbo or Henning Mankell books for Mystery. Bourne series by Ludlum for thriller. Bourne Identity is the first. Hamilton or any other Ron Chernow biography.

    Jamie Pollard...

    The implication of the thread is Jamie should go. So, who would be better? Look back at where we were when Jamie came to ISU and see where we are now. To let a poor football record result in a call for a new AD is a very narrow perspective. Jamie has been a terrific AD and a terrific person...

    Steve Prohm's recruiting game plan

    Chris, Do you know if he's reached out to Tsalmpouris? He's been quoted about his plans for those players in Ames, but I've heard nothing about GT.

    Hoiberg Watch 2015: Saturday, May 30 Thread

    Chris, Referencing this statement: --- It's strange how all of this has played out. Pollard coaching searches are usually so quiet. This one though? With the Otzelberger reports and Hornacek being all over the place, it's been very loud - very weird. Which of the reports can you say are...

    Uber

    I've used both Uber & Lyst and, franky, prefer Lyst. Both were far better than taxi.

    Monte Morris/NBA Talk: Wait at least another year

    John Stockton was 6'1" 175 lbs. Rajon Rondo is 6'1" 186 lbs. Both virtually the same as Monte'. If he proves he can guard and score he should get a good shot at making it.

    100?

    I'd think Fred will fare better at the 300 and higher milestones. His first year set him back. But From NCAA site: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_basketball_RB/2012/coaches.pdf FASTEST TO 100 WINS Rk. Name, School G W L Pct. Yr. Season 1. Doc...

    BLOG: 5 thoughts on ISU's return from KC

    I agree with most of what you say, but would defend Monte' in one regard. When you shoot as poorly as the team did, it's hard to get assists. If we'd shot a normal % he'd probably have had a decent # of assists.

    New SI Article

    Click on the Big 12 article link in the Hoiberg article and it shows us tied with Texas for 2nd record-wise. And, it has George as POY.

    Great article on Morris w/quotes from Trey Burke and Izzo

    Good article, but it seemed to end rather abruptly. I was expecting more closing analysis. Should be a great year for Monte and the team.

    Q & A with Iowa State wrestling coaches

    Please explain how scholarships are awarded in wrestling. I believe they are partials, but not sure.

    18 second shot clock - give Fred what he wants!

    Actually, I think it would give us a big boost in scoring. Our shooting skills would keep our shooting % up and we'd have @ 32% more possessions to score. We'd average 100+/game. Add our now deep bench and we'd have less deep teams exhausted by 1/2 time. I suspect they'd have to add another team...

    Ryan Anderson Visiting May 2nd

    You don't make All American and Big 12 POY on the basis of clean-ups and dump-offs. Maybe a lot of plays weren't run "thru" Mel, but many, many, many were run FOR Mel, because he was so good at getting in a position to catch and finish. His contribution to the team should not be so quickly...
