    NCAA in Des Moines

    Who knows what seed Iowa or ISU or anybody else will be when the time comes. I realize there are a lot of factors, but my question is, historically how high a seed would a local team have to achieve to pretty much be a lock to get the most local first round venue? 3seed? 4seed? Even 1seeds...

    *** #14 West Virginia vs #13 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    Might be time to consider getting more Iowa kids, and/or more kids out of high school who start their college life in Ames, to get assimilated into the university, as opposed to coming in as upper classmen hired guns. Too many transfers that for obvious reason do not have strong ties to the...

    Who's the best player in the State of Iowa...

    Based on the entire career - no. Now - perhaps the Iowa fans, and the Milwaukee bucks.

    Iowa State #14 in AP Poll (1/25)

    I agree, but more surprising is the two primary computer models, with supposedly no political bias, both have MSU higher. Look at Sagarin especially - MSU 8 ISU 19. Hard to believe this deep into the season.

    Who's the best player in the State of Iowa...

    Correct; both Fred and Fran coming off initial seasons with overall losing records, following down years from previous coaches.

    Who's the best player in the State of Iowa...

    Uthoff had a bunch of offers out of high school, including ISU and Iowa. Can't blame the kid for choosing Wisc at that point in time. Grew up in Cedar Rapids as a Hawkeye fan, but Iowa was so bad back then at the tail end of Lickliter era. Same with ISU at end of McDermott era. Fred offered...

    NCAA in Des Moines

    You'd skip the Clones on TV to go boo the Hawkeyes? That's some serious hate.

    Who's the best player in the State of Iowa...

    You forgot YOU would play them 'any time'. YOU must be really really good, unless YOU some how speak for the team.

    Off Topic...Oklahoma and Kansas to BIG ?

    Not sure Okla has the academic chops to be invited at this time - same with KU. Nebby is lowest ranked academic institution in the league right now, and they are higher than Okla or KU. There was also a lot of grumbling about Ne on those very grounds. At the time Ne bailed to the B10, I believe...

    Iowa/MSU

    I saw where Izzo says his 2016 recruiting class is his best ever. 3 4+stars and 1 5star.

    ISU @ KSU Predictions

    Fred very hurt after after catching wind of all the CyFan bashing about deserting the program with no depth and lackluster recruiting. He somehow finagles an immediately eligible one-n-done transfer to join the team in Manhattan. ISU 83 KSU 76

    This isn't CSPs fault, it's CFHs fault

    It's a very fine line between winning and losing. I don't believe Fred owed the program more than he gave it for several years. Expectations this year were too high. Relying heavily on new yearly transfers is like playing with fire - it's fun but you can get burned. Fred got away with it while...

    ISU FB #42 in the Nation

    I stand corrected - maybe a few others as well. Coincidentily, LA (13 million people) does not have a professional FB team.

    ISU FB #42 in the Nation

    Really large metro areas don't support football through attendance. Too many other sports entertainment options. Chicago, NYC, East Coast Megopolis in general, Dallas, Minn, Phoen, LA - they just don't unless team is in national title hunt. I can't think of one that does. Maybe you could argue...

    ISU @ Texas Predictions

    Thanks - I'll check that out. I also see the Consensus Line just dropped to 1.5. Some Big Sugar Daddy liked the Horns today (a lot) at +2 if 80% public was liking the Clones.

    ISU @ Texas Predictions

    How does one determine the percentage the public is betting on team 'A' at any given line?

    Crowd is way too quiet

    You are wrong Bonneville - a person needs to be a fringe biased idiot in order to be a true fan. ISU hoops is apparently their primary relevance. Get your act together!

    What is the peak for ISU's football program

    I believe Campbell is already inheriting double digit returning jucos from Rhoads. But hopefully you are correct. That is what most people presumed Fred would do, but he never got off the JucoTransfer (dismissed tranfer) addiction, as evidenced right now by the fact the basketball team does not...

    If OU wins at KU, does ISU go up in the rankings?

    I was pulling for OU, but one of the worst missed calls was near the very end of game, or one of the OT periods, when a Ku player going up for layup, got clearly raked across the forehead, missed the shot, and then a Ku player got a foul called on him for going over the back on the rebound...
