    Worst call of the Campbell era

    The way I have rationalized the choice to kick right there is that Campbell is playing the long game, early in the season. We've seen it in every September; he makes choices based on what he thinks will help us most in November rather than what's best in the moment. It's almost like Campbell...

    Defense Question

    A few years ago I listened to the TT radio feed in the game where we smothered them. They made a comment that we had a reputation for stealing the signs off the playboards. It sounded a little like sour grapes at the time, but it did make me a little curious if others had heard anything similar...

    Iowa State Fair - Yay or Nay

    Growing up it was always my family's vacation, for just a few days. Lots of memories of questionable east side motels. Been back a few times and generally enjoy it, but definitely isn't some kind of can't-miss deal. We've taken a few of our exchange students, which I'm sure was an eye-opening...

    Quinn Ewers transfers to Texas

    As long as Texas continues to operate this way, it won't matter who the QB1 is. At some point they need an AD and a coach that keep the boosters off the field. Regardless of x's and o's, and starzzz, it's now pretty clear Sark isn't going to be the answer any more than Herman was.

    MLB: ***Official 2022 STL Cardinals Season Thread***

    This feels like a team that could get hot and be dangerous. The veterans have done their part and give us a good chance at the division. If one of the young guys get hot at the right time (a la Freese, Wacha) we could make a run. I was skeptical of the Pujols signing, I thought it could be a...

    MLB: ***Official 2022 STL Cardinals Season Thread***

    Not often, but they have for the right fit. Rolen, Goldschmidt, Arenado. Elite defenders that were solid proven pros at positions of need. Soto doesn't seem like a fit, and I really doubt they'll trade for him, but never is a little too strong. With the good young OF depth it wouldn't make much...

    Omaha Biliew Commits to Iowa State!

    I agree with most everything you're saying here and don't want to resurrect a pointless debate, especially since I basically agree with you. I just wanted to point out that Omaha is not from Waukee. When I made my point about him leaving home to pursue basketball I was referring to him moving to...

    Omaha Biliew Commits to Iowa State!

    I think we can all agree that adults making money off of kids playing a game just feels sleazy. AAU has always felt dirty, but in this specific case, it is absolutely a necessary evil. Knowing Omaha's family and background it seems highly unlikely he would have been noticed or developed into a...

    Beni Ngoyi commits to Iowa State

    I almost kind of hope kNU has a good year this year, just good enough to keep Frost a little longer. They're no threat to being relevant while he's there and I would enjoy seeing them get their hopes up before failing miserably again next year. Of course, I don't live in western Iowa anymore so...

    Whatever happened to Omaha Biliew?

    We'll all find out Sept 1st. I suspect you're right about the g-league, but if he goes to college we've got a good chance.

    Way too early football predictions?

    I think we have enough depth and talent to predict 6-6. The real wildcard is if we actually adhere to our professed policy of players-formations-plays. Are we willing to change the formations and plays that have worked(mostly) to better fit the new personnel? Especially on offense. I'll believe...

    Long two days left. Story time! Please share your own

    I grew up in a family that didn't care much about sports. College sports weren't on much back then, and Saturdays were just a full day for working. I loved the NFL and MLB. My sister started at ISU when I was 8 and I became a 'fan' but only in name. Then Troy Davis happened and people actually...

    Iowa State a No. 11 seed in Milwaukee, will face No. 6 LSU Friday

    I'm too lazy to look it up, and I'm not even sure where to find it, but I'd be curious to see how LSU has fared against teams similar to us. We all know how we've looked, most of the time, against teams like them. Most everything on here has been about how we have struggled with long strong...

    Why don't we hear more about Hunter Dekkers?

    This feels a little like the transition from Meyer to Arnaud. Though obviously at a higher level. 4 years of a finesse qb that relied on timing and placement and jump balls to tall receivers, being replaced by a hyped in-state qb with a huge arm. Hopefully Dekkers is more well prepared and put...

    ***#9 Iowa State vs. Texas Tech (Saturday, 1:00)***

    Pulling against Baylor should always be the default setting. In every sport, but especially wbb and football. Unless it directly benefits us for them to beat someone else. Or they're playing Kansas in mbb.

    Which Team of ISU Basketball Players Would You Pick?

    I think the key is we're voting for which team would have the best season, not which team would win head to head. Throw each of these teams into the Big 12, and I'd say Team 1 would come out with the best record. Most defined roles, best go to mismatch/scorer, best depth, and I think would...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

    In the first game both teams had long stretches where they couldn't score. I think this game will be about who can make the right timely adjustments to avoid long droughts. I feel pretty good about our chances today, we've looked more consistent on offense the last few games and I think K State...

    Huggins, after the game.

    Thank you for pointing that out. Those are literally the only 2 times WV bball made any sort of impression on me, before they joined the conference, and I combined them.

    Huggins, after the game.

    I was never a fan of the Cincy Huggins teams, but was a big fan of the Pittsnoggle WV team that made a run to the Final Four. Huggins on the floor with his star, (Kevin Jones, iirc) whose career and future in the game just got shattered, really changed my perception of Huggins. I despise the...

    *** Official West Virginia vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I saw that same interview. I thought it was almost shocking how blunt and matter-of-fact he was. I can't decide if it's refreshing to hear a coach be honest and genuine, or disgusting to criticize players in the press. Maybe some of each. We were all sick of 'we just need to play defense harder'...
