    Where does Brockington rank in the ISU transfer standings right now?

    I am almost always inclined to favor the incumbent, or at least I'm very conscious of recency bias. That being said, I think it's a valid argument. Izb has had at least as much impact as Royce for one season. Neither of those teams are going anywhere without them, they were both the clear alpha...

    *** Official #15 IOWA STATE vs #18 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

    I kinda think Brockington goes off, can't believe he has 2 straight low scoring games. I think the team with more points off turnovers wins this one, neither offense is going to score much in the half court.

    Could Otz be the end of Hoiberg's coaching career?

    I loved the Hoiberg Era and style of play, but Hoiball only works if you've got a hard-ass like Melvin Ejim or DeAndre Kane that demands effort and accountability. Because Fred isn't demanding anything from anyone. The GM-type coach works in the NBA because they're all grown men working hard to...

    Player of the game vs Texas

    To borrow a Campbell-ism, this whole team is full of guys trying to do something, not trying to be someone. I think a lot of it comes with age and maturity. You can tell they appreciate the opportunity to keep playing a game they love and aren't taking it for granted. It's exactly what college...

    Officiating travesty in Lawrence

    Absolutely, I was more suggesting we've seen a certain football team get the Kansas ball treatment, and still not contend for anything. Self is a good (albeit dirty) coach that could win without the favorable treatment.

    Officiating travesty in Lawrence

    The goaltend would have completely changed the way the last 2 minutes played out, and maybe not favorably. It's not as simple as saying we lost by one, so two more points would have won the game. Had it counted, Grill's almost-a-3 would have tied the game and KU probably approaches their next...

    Officiating travesty in Lawrence

    I agree with the sentiment, but nope. Exhibit A: Texas.

    Twister Sister Summary - holy buckets! holy buckets! holy buckets!

    I think MEM plays the same spot-up knock-down role as Aubrey, but is just a little better shooter and is a little taller so she can get shots off over the defense. I would also say that just because she's not forcing shots up, or even touching the ball much, she still contributes if the defense...

    “Frick” Santa Claus

    Maybe the funniest thing my daughter has ever said was when a grocery checker asked her if she was excited for Santa. My then 4 year old matter-of-factly informs her that Santa is dead. We had explained who St Nicholas was, so I think that's what she was getting at, but she didn't add that...

    American Underdog-Kurt Warner story

    I remember how much talent those Rams teams had on offense. At the time I always discredited Warner's ability and was annoyed at all the attention he got. Marshall Faulk never got as much credit as he deseved. I very quickly got tired of his story. His time in Arizona honestly impressed me...

    Twister Sister Summary - Whining doesn't cut it...but defense does

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this. It's almost like the last 3 minutes they stopped running offense and just told Clark to go do it herself. I guess it worked for them last year, but it felt like a lot of hero-ball down the stretch for them.

    Twister Sister Summary - Whining doesn't cut it...but defense does

    No one takes more creates more contact or takes more abuse than Ashley Joens, and you never see her react or complain. But she does it by going into the lane and putting the generally slower interior defenders in an awkward position where they instinctively break vertical, making it an easy foul...

    Love For Tre Jackson!

    From what little I watched last year, it seemed like he was one of the only players that brought any energy at all last year, he just didn't have a clear role. I wouldn't have blamed him if he had left, but so happy he stayed. He seems like a perfect role model for the kids coming in next year...

    All-Big 12 Teams Announced

    I knew he made some plays, and I'm really excited about him for next year, but I'm surprised he did enough for whoever votes on these things to take notice. Seems like just maybe we're getting a reputation for hard-nosed safeties, and I love it.

    *** Official #9 Memphis vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I expect it to be a struggle for us to be consistent on offense. We'll probably have a few cold spells. Our D will need to continue to be tough, and we have to make them pay when they get impatient and try to hero ball it. Specifically we can't get killed by second and third chance points...

    Oklahoma Game Thoughts

    Tavon Austin was exactly the name I was thinking of. It really isn't that new of a concept.

    Oklahoma Game Thoughts

    I would be curious to hear an explanation of why anyone thought the double pass play would be legal. 15 years ago when the forward pitch to the WR coming in front of the QB was a new concept, sure I can understand how an OC could be confused, but it's just mind-blowing that that play is even in...

    Oklahoma Game Thoughts

    This is almost exactly my thoughts on the game. We had so many opportunities to get a game changing turnover and each time OK got it back. We made some mistakes, but they made as many or more. On the first big hit Purdy took I would argue he was defenseless as he was being held onto by another...

    Texas D-Line Coach Bo Davis Rant on Bus After Iowa State Loss

    Don't remember the circumstances, but at least one starting LB left. Meeks, maybe? Don't remember his name, but remember a few times in that first season where it would have been nice to have him.
