    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    After watching great defense from ISU and other Big 12 teams, it's amazing how bad Big 10 defense is. So many open looks and not stopping the dribble drive. Not your typical Spartan team on display.. Murray can play, but he is fortunate to play in the Big Ten. Plus, Iowa doesn't expend any...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    I live in CR + go to 1-2 games at CHA per year (when offered free tix). It's a nice place to watch a game, but you are too far away from the action. Students need/deserve better seating. Press takes up a lot of prime seating, and aging fan base all add up to blah environment. They can blame...

    *** Official Oklahoma vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    More than any other game, basketball is a game of runs. Sometimes you make them at the right time. OU made a nice run at the start of the 2nd half to get back in it. Had they taken the lead, I fear ISU would've folded. Nice job by ISU to maintain that 5-7 point cushion. Good win!

    *** Official #20 IOWA STATE vs #23 Texas Game(Day) Thread ***

    Starting 12-0 raised expectations to an unrealistic level. I think everyone of us would have been ecstatic in November if someone said they would be 16-7 in early November. A lot of season left. I know the offense is frustrating, but this team and the coaches are doing a great job! They...

    *** Official #20 IOWA STATE vs #23 Texas Game(Day) Thread ***

    Texas shooting well. ISU isn't. I wish people would lay off TJ. Ripping on the coach is what ******* Hawk fans do. We are better than that. Just not our day today. Even if this team doesn't make the NCAA, I love this team and how they play. Just limited offensively.

    UT is making the shots they missed in the 1st half. Just gotta hang in there and not let the game get away from them.

    *** Official #23 IOWA STATE vs Oklahoma State Game(Day) Thread ***

    So many good things about last night's game. More than anything else, I absolutely love how this team just continues to fight through adversity, bad calls, and "bad" plays. They don't get their head down after a turnover, missed shot, etc. It's really too bad Brockington will only be here...

    I'm so happy for the team. They have played so hard all year, and represented ISU so well. Great win! Let's hope this gets them going. Now, let's fill Hilton (this team deserves it), get loud, and beat Mizzou!

    *** Official #23 IOWA STATE vs Oklahoma State Game(Day) Thread ***

    Live ball turnovers leading to easy points are the difference right now. Need to be strong with the ball. Offense looks a lot better though!

    *** Official TCU vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I can live with the missed open shot - if you have a good look, take it! The live ball turnovers are driving me crazy today! Kudos to TCU, they are playing well - a lot of game left, but they need to take care of the ball.

    Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

    It is truly sickening how the media has ignored the racial issues in the FB program. A large majority of their fans have the Black + Gold blinders on, and see what they want to see. The media, however, is supposed to be objective + report the facts, not be cheerleaders + provide free PR for...

    Missed goaltending call

    I haven't read through the entire thread. I apologize if I'm repeating another post Yes, the goaltending call was wrong, and cost ISU two points. When you lose by one point, it's easy (and understandable) to blame the loss on one play. There were a lot of things that happen in the previous...

    Kitty Litter in Schools?

    Admin is so afraid of telling kids (and parents) no these days. It's crazy enough to be true. I can see it happening + Admin backing down. What I want to know is what parent wouldn't squash this crap in their kid? I get supporting your kid if they are LBGTQ, but a cat? Crazy....

    Enjoy the ride

    I was disappointed, but not upset after the loss to OU last night. I guess my expectations for this season were so low, being 13-2 is awesome! Winning any road game in the conference will be a struggle. OU played well in the 2nd half, give them credit. Let's be better than Hawk fans and not...

    Have you ever been embarrassed to wear Cyclone Gear?

    Never. Living in Cedar Rapids, you always get the wise-ass Hawk who will make a comment. My loyalty + allegiance to ISU goes well beyond their performance in sports. Funny story. I was at a Kwik Star yesterday picking up a soda. I had my usual ISU hat + sweatshirt on. A young kid working...

    Greetings from a Clemson fan....

    ISU grad here who has lived in Cedar Rapids (20 minutes north of Iowa City) for most of my life. I have enjoyed reading through this thread - didn't realize the parallels between our two universities. I won't repeat all the examples others have provided, but they are all accurate. Living so...

    Iowa's football schedule

    Combined record of Iowa's 7 conference wins was 19-44. They avoided the top 3 teams in the East. End of conversation.

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

    Doesn't seem like our day. A lot of game left, but ISU seems to be lacking energy today. Tech looks ready to go, ISU looks lackadaisical. Reminds me of WV game.

    Hickory Park Help/Question for Gameday vs TX

    We drove in from CR. Used online wait list. It said 15-25 minutes, so once we got on west side of Marshalltown (around 3:00), I put our name in. Worked out perfectly! We walked in and were #1 on wait list. Seated within 5 minutes. Agree with earlier post - seemed to be short staffed. A...
