    Randy Peterson on KXNO

    Good post. Couldn't agree more. The whole offense seems to be so simple, which makes it simple to defend. Very little movement. Very few screens. Brackins' failure to establish low post position throws everything into a funk. That leaves Garret/Colvin to try to create something almost...

    Randy Peterson on KXNO

    From what I am seeing, I think Brackins shares a big chunk of the blame about not getting the ball in good scoring position. He continually gets pushed well out on the court and rarely seals his man off and establishes a good passing lane. Dude either does not know how to properly post up...

    Official Duke Postgame Thread

    Yeah, losing Gilstrap and Brackins next year means starting to rebuild, again. I have no idea where the scoring comes from next year. The two toughest teams on the schedule (Cal and Duke) have hammered the Clones. Two fairly even teams (UNI and NW) beat them. I don't think it bodes well for...

    Official Duke Postgame Thread

    They have GOT to change the offense. No motion, no screens.....just hope Garrett or Colvin can beat their man off the dribble. Way too much dribbling, but that is to be expected when there is zero motion. Whatever happened to setting screens, moving without the ball, passing, etc. Frustrating.

    DG

    Good call on Bayless. He was one I definitely forgot. I would put him up near the top of the list. Very good defender. Great free throw shooter, which is always a huge plus in a point guard. Might put him slightly above Garrett, although I think the talent surrounding him was better and probably...

    DG

    I wish some of the DG haters would rank Iowa State's point guards over the past 30 years. I am hard pressed to come up with more than 2 that I think might be better -- Tinsley (clearly, probably the best point guard in Iowa State history) and Blalock (borderline on this, he definitely...

    Playing Duke on a "big stage"

    I am kind of in the same place. I think the NIT is likely result, and even that is questionable based on team's performance thus far. Not depressed :biggrin:, but certainly disappointed. I thought with Brackins coming back, this team would be better than it is.

    Who's your 2 teams to play in the Super Bowl?

    Before today's game, I was on board with a Chargers v Eagles Super Bowl. After watching the Eagles today, and the fact they fell to the 6th seed, I don't see it. I think it will be Chargers against the Vikings. I just don't think the Saints have the defense to take them to the Super Bowl...

    Coaching To Win!

    No question. As a lifelong Cyclone fan, all I could think about was the bad things that could happen. Coach Rhoads obviously, and thankfully correctly, didn't believe the same things. Love everything about this Coach.

    "Official" Celebration Video at Cyclones.com

    Rhoads is an absolutely great guy, coach, etc. I hope he stays at Iowa State for a very, very long time. If he does, he will make all Cyclone fans very proud, both on and off the field.

    Coaching To Win!

    Also, the drive at the end of the first half. I was content to run the ball and go into halftime up 7-3. But Rhoads pushed it and ended up scoring a TD.

    how will we do this year?

    Before the season, I would have predicted 3-4 wins. I believe this team, and Coach Rhoads, overachieved. I am excited about the future under this Coach.

    Mission Accomplished!!!

    GREAT football season. Exceeded all of my expectations. If someone had told me before the season started that the Clones would win a bowl game, I would have laughed it off. I don't give a damn how it happened or who they beat. As a lifelong Cyclone fan who has seen a ton of bad football and...

    Favre and Childress going at it

    It is a story because of Favre's star power. Same thing would happen if it were Brady, Manning or a few others. As I said before, Favre has a history dating back about 7-8 years of not knowing when/how to keep his mouth shut. Started when he was telling JaVon Walker he shouldn't be holding...

    Official Post ND Game thread.

    I actually thought the effort was decent all night. The execution and shooting were pretty bad, which points to focus. Duke has it's nights too. Every team does. Professional teams do as well, and those guys are getting paid millions of dollars. I think it can be tolerated, to some degree...

    Official Post ND Game thread.

    I think you need to take into consideration several factors. They were playing a 1-11 team. They just finished finals. They are anxiously awaiting Christmas break and a chance to get home and see family. All of these contribute to a lack of concentration. It is to be expected. The game...

    Favre and Childress going at it

    I agree with you that Childress is primarily to blame. You simply don't even consider taking Favre out of a 7-6 game. You also don't bench him over the Packer audible call. You should have known what you were getting when you fought so hard to sign him. That being said, I also blame Favre...

    Sorry

    It really doesn't matter who starts. The keys are minutes and who finishes. The same applies to Hamilton. I would guess that as the season continues, Dendy and JVB will get more minutes (assuming healthy), but Hamilton will keep starting.

    NFL: Dallas beats New Orleans 24-17

    The Saints were damn lucky that Folk missed another field goal, otherwise the game would have had no drama. Dallas was clearly the better team in this game from start to finish. Saints could not stop the Cowboys offense and ball control. I think they exposed weaknesses with the Saints on both...

    NFL: Dallas beats New Orleans 24-17

    That is the only bad thing about the Saints loss. It opens the door for the Vikings to get home field advantage. Of course, after watching tonight's game, I believe the Vikes are clearly the best team in the NFC. Saints defense looks very, very vulnerable. Vikes are better on both sides of...
