    Teams You'd Prefer to Avoid/Play in March

    I have watched basically 0 other teams this year, so not sure who this applies to. In general the offenses that our defense doesn't snuff out are those that use the post to distribute from the top of the key with good shooters and hard backcuts. Disu, Dickenson, and the BYU big come to mind. If...

    NFL: Who ya got? Super Bowl LVII

    I think both defenses are better than the opposing offenses. I could see it going similar to the AFC championship game where both offenses find some success early before the defenses adjust. SF especially seems to start slow on D. I have big worries about the SF Oline getting exposed by...

    Defensive Philosophy

    I think any discussion of the 3-3-5 is a little too armchair-quarterbacky. It is a great scheme for the players we are able to get here. We do not and will never consistently have a d line that can stand up a quality o line and stuff the run, so we concede a 2 yard run and send safeties and LBs...

    Man Colds

    My wife picked up a cold traveling that wiped her out for over a week. Being the understanding husband I let her sleep as much as she wanted and listened to her whining with sympathy, anticipating that I would end up sick too and that she could then reciprocate. I did get sick. Monday. 3 hours...

    Ames Lager

    Mason City HyVee West had some last night, only 3 sixers left. They're at least finally getting to the area.

    The Iowa State Jets

    Breece and Cook have been splitting carries, but it's pretty clear who has been more explosive and effective. Without Rodgers I have a feeling Hall is going to be the focal point of an offense loaded with talent.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Horror Movie Tournament: Round of 64 ***

    I've seen exactly 2 of these, and I voted accordingly. I enjoy these tournaments and appreciate that went into making it, it's just not my genre.

    2023 XFL vs 2023 USFL

    Haven't tried the USFL yet, but I have enjoyed the XFL.

    Bracket thoughts/picks?

    I like to think that I follow college basketball, but realized while filling out my bracket that I haven't actually watched a lot of these teams play this year. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. I don't really trust a lot of the 1s and 2s this year. Kansas has been impressive lately, but...

    Twister Sister Summary - ladies vanquish Baylor

    I thought Kane was really the difference in the game. I could be wrong, but it seemed like our runs came with her out there, and they got back in when she sat. I noticed it most on defense, they were wearing out Izzi and Diew on the pick and roll, but Kane was a much stronger presence. It also...

    NBA: Cyclones in the pros 2021-23 (hoops)

    Unbelievable some of the things Tyrese is doing. He's playing like a legitimate star, a dominant franchise changing type player. And always with a smile.

    Watson

    I really like this freshman class. Watson especially is just oozing with potential and upside. I felt similar watching a freshman Rahshon Clark, he clearly belongs at this level, but also can clearly grow into more than he's currently asked to do.

    Most Improbable Win Since?

    Memphis early last year, if only because we were all still hoping to be mediocre and competitive. I don't remember anyone thinking we had a real shot in that game, we just hadn't seen it yet against that level of talent. Hopefully today builds some confidence and leads to that same kind of run.

    Caleb Grill has been dismissed from team

    I think the length of the delay to sort everything out had more impact than the 5 points we lost on the exchange. We were in as good of a rhythm as we've been in in a long time. Getting good shots and hitting them, playing with purpose and swagger. After 10 minutes standing around they came back...

    Iowa State OU postgame video

    Kind of an aside, but related to FT shooting. I've always thought that missing the front end of a 1&1 should count as missing 2 FTs in the box score. This game I felt turned on 2 possessions. Towards the end of the first half we missed a layup, got the rebound, missed 2 put backs, and ended up...

    *** Official #23 IOWA STATE vs #8 Texas (SAMSUBA) Game(Day) Thread ***

    Feels like we're due for a 'Gabe' game, would be nice to see him go off again. Or Holmes. Or maybe both? I am unreasonably optimistic about this game. Horns Down!

    Omaha Biliew is a McDonald's All-American

    Omaha has 5 star ability and athleticism, but more importantly, 5 star work ethic. He is most definitely not your typical coddled self-centered egomaniac. More blue collar than blue chip. That's why he's coming here. He's gotten to this point by playing like a TJ guy. He will start day 1, and...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    I had this exact thought watching Miami today. How badly do they wish they had used their late round draft pick on Brock to be a backup instead of Skylar? Clearly a talented offense, just need some leadership. San Fran was the perfect landing spot for him, but there are a whole lot of places...

    ***Breece Hall Thread***

    Jets just won a tough game on the road and are tied for second in the AFC and the coach sounds like he's at a funeral. As much as anything else I think that's a pretty good indication of the severity Breece's injury.

    Losses by 8+ Last 20 Years

    Amazing seeing all those blowouts listed that way. I know I watched most of them, and cared deeply about each of those teams, but a lot of those games I have only very fuzzy memories of or have blotted out altogether. Also fascinating how similar Mac and Rhoads' graphs are. Thanks for...
