    Iowa State’s Most Bone-Headed Athletic Change?

    College football was evolving. IMO, Earl wasn't.

    Iowa State’s Most Bone-Headed Athletic Change?

    Yeah, this bozo set us back at least a decade. On the plus side, we got one of the best ADs in the country to come in and right the ship, and then some. You know, one door shuts... Losing baseball stills sucks the most.

    Cadillac vs Lincoln

    Strongly agree with the majority. Lincoln is superior in almost every aspect. Much more smooth and comfortable ride, if you get one that's been taken care of, maintenance won't be an issue, and they'll outlast anything GM puts out 2 to 1, (at least). I drove them on and off for 20 yrs. IMO...

    Fly With Cy going to Austin this year

    Just got an e-mail from the Iowa Lottery that they're having a "Fly With Cy", contest again this year, and it's going to Austin!! I was lucky enough to win last year, so I doubt I have much of a chance, but still try, must I!!! If I do get lucky, I pretty sure I'll sell the plane tix and...

    Omaha Biliew Commits to Iowa State!

    The more the NIL evolves, the less I worry about how it will or won't have an effect on us. Do we really want to go to the auction block each and every year to remain competitive, or do we want arguably one the best coaches in the game today identifying talent and then filling the needs we...

    NFL Plus Launched

    Isn't all this a violation of anti-trust laws that are designed to keep giant sports leagues and/or corporations from price fixing and eliminating customer options?

    Ever wondered why so many educated people are so damn stupid?

    Heaven forbid the pharmacist was too thorough making sure you understood dosages on a new, updated script... If they hadn't, you'd be here b****in' they didn't do their job. Condemning competence isn't really an attractive quality.:rolleyes:

    Your favorite singing voices of all time

    Definitely Linda Ronstadt, got to see her at C.Y. Stevens and even had front row center tix, (not that you need them there), I was so stuck on her, I gave her two dozen roses. For her final encore, she sat on the edge of the stage and sang "Don't it Make Your Brown Eyes Blue?". I'm sure it was...

    Who is best for the Big 12?

    Agreed. Arizona and ASU make sense, Utah fits with BYU, and Wash. and Oregon are a good fit. Other than ASU imo, the others all offer overall positives, (academics, well rounded athletics for both men and women), and would provide new travel opportunities. I really don't know a lot about ASU...

    Best place to buy ISU gear?

    If you do go to Hy-Vee, try the one out west. it generally has a much better selection. If you're up north in Ames, Strawberry Patch in N Grand Mall usually has a great selection of clothes, hats, flags, banners, you name it. They even have iron-ons if you want to personalize something.

    RECRUITING: Iowa State gets '23 WR recruit in Michael Parkes on Thursday

    Now that the cat's out of the bag, I'm not so sure "NIL athletes" will be much of a problem for us. One of the things CMC and his staff excel at is selling our school, our conference, our academics, and Ames and ISU fans. IMO, CMC deeply cares about not how recruits do while enrolled here, but...

    In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC

    Not in the least. Our future is brighter than it's ever been. We're recruiting at an unprecedented level, selling more tickets, generating much more national interest and attention, and with the upcoming addition of 4 very respectable institutions to the Big 12, reason to believe we might start...

    ***Unofficial Confidence Check: Will We Make the NCAA Tourney 12/15/21**

    If we can stay healthy and manage a .500 or better finish going into the Big12 tourney, and we don't lose in the first round in KC, I'm gonna say we're in. Team health is the huge key. Playing the kind of defense these guys are playing takes extreme discipline and can wear you out, mentally and...

    Who else is tired of coach talk?

    Of course we should only consider the athletes' entertainment value and ability to fulfill your expectations!! The hell with educating them, or preparing them for life. After all, isn't that something their parents and high school should have done? Forget that they are 18-22 year old men at a...

    Who else is tired of coach talk?

    If, after all the time CMC's been here, he hasn't proven his sincerity to you, I don't know what to say. He just turned down a multi-million NFL offer last summer, for starters. I believe his honesty and integrity are unimpeachable, and I've never doubted a word he said since day one... I've...
