    Least Favorite Players Left In the NCAA Tournament

    Have to agree about Henson. He made 2 of the most idiotic plays within the last 2 sec of the Washington game alone. First he gives UW a chance to tie the game and then goal-tends the desperation shot at the end. Even if the shot had no chance to go in, and it wasn't called, there was no...

    Babb vs Allen

    Watching Penn State beat Michigan State yesterday got me wondering: Does Babb have any regrets of not playing in the Big 10 title game for a team going dancing? I imagine it would be hard to watch friends and former teammates finally taste success while having to sit the bench. Will we be...

    New rule needed

    Can we also allow instant replay to determine if a player was indeed inside the semicircle or not? Or will that be just another judgement call for the clearly incompetent zebras? I didn't see the call, haven't been watching the game, I can't pull for either of them. As much as I hate it...

    Think it's bad being an ISU fan in the state of Iowa?

    As much as we all complain about the way Iowa gets all the attention, all the hype, all the press, and most of the recruits, at least they don't 'suggest' we drop our football and wrestling programs. I think that's what the OP was getting at. Not that I agree that there's some conspiracy here...

    how many games will the cyclones win next fall?

    I'm excited to see what Wally can do with a full deck. He finally has 'his' guys in the system, and most of them with game experience. We won't be as undersized as we have been, and the depth is solid in most positions. If the offense can help the defense out, we could really be a force. The...

    how many games will the cyclones win next fall?

    Texas 'could' get just about anyone they want in state. It's never a question of talent. I'm sure they had at least 2 RB's on the team last year with as much hype coming in as Brown or Gray. And Gilbert was the best HS QB the year he came out, and the defense is loaded, and they have their...

    Anyone else think we should have fouled Diaz and never gone to OT?

    What makes something the 'right' strategy? You would think if there were one 'right' strategy for this situation, there would be for all others too. And someone could make a lot of money by writing a book detailing the exact 'right' strategy for each situation. And every coach should be...

    Anyone else think we should have fouled Diaz and never gone to OT?

    As far as playing percentages... while Nebby is a terrible FT shooting team, they are the worst in conference (and I thought I heard in the nation) in 3pt shooting. McCray is the only decent outside shooter they have on a consistent basis. Had they shot the way they shot today they would have...

    Fantasy Baseball

    If someone else does start a league, I'd be interested in joining.

    Other side of Frank Martin

    You have to assume he is capable of being a nice, decent, classy human being to be able to recruit the way he does. You don't form the type of strong connections it requires to bring someone to Manhattan, KS if you can't relate at a personal level. It seems like the K State teams are a family...

    Twister Sister Summary - Ladies win gritty game 61-53

    First game I got to watch in Hilton all year, a Valentine's Day tradition my wife and I have (yes, I am the luckiest man alive). Just my impressions on this team: 1) We have been spoiled rotten by the PG play, G play in generally really, that we've been used to the last several years...

    Ejim or Basabe

    I haven't seen that much of Basabe, and I'm generally hesitant to buy anything any Hawk fan says about any of their players. I have seen Ejim though. I realize he's only a freshman, but I haven't been terribly impressed. Some nights he's aggressive, attacks the basket, rebounds, generally...

    Dishwasher

    I worked on appliances for a few years in Des Moines, including testing scratch-and-dent units before they went to the sale floor. Bosch DW were the best I ever worked on, and we trained on and serviced most (non-Sears) brands. There aren't a whole lot of serious problems a dishwasher can...

    Steele Jantz-Jerome Tiller-James Capello-Jared Barnett...

    The better question is, when, not if, we see demands for one of the back-up QB's. Do we give the starter a full game? If Iowa shuts us down, will we be in uproar? Whoever the starter is, it's not fair to expect great things from them right away. Regardless of who starts, the most important...

    the name of the carroll iowa kid that transferred to iowa

    So are we also to forgive Phillip Bates? If anything, I could forgive him more, he wasn't going to be the star on next year's team. Then again, I don't personally know the Bates' family, so it's still okay to be bitter about him. And to be clear, is it okay for Dad to be the manager and...

    Mike Taylor signs with the Iowa Energy

    My Mike Taylor memory will always be watching him shoot before the game. He would chuck up shots from just shy of half court and all sorts of other crazy 'horse' shots from anywhere and make an impressive number of them. Of course then the game started and at some point, for a few minutes at...

    A Look at the DL in 2011

    As long as Wally's coaching the D, I'm not too terribly worried. Between him and Rhoades, those are some pretty sharp defensive minds with a ton of experience. Our LB's were supposed to be a huge weakness this last year, yet they were put in positions they could succeed in. For a good...

    Izzo vs. Hoiberg

    The question at this point, as I took it, is not over who the better coach is, or who will win us more games this year. It's about who is better for our program. We've had so many defections from players and coaches, that as much as anything most of us are just happy to have stability...

    Ferentz Dismisses Robinson

    Re: Don't make up things... Unless you consider "instructing DJK to move into the room where the crime happened immediately after hearing about it" to be supressing evidence. After all, who could POSSIBLY think that a college kid would clean his room, right? Amazing how concerned Ferentz was...
