    Thoughts watching the Tulsa replay

    Remember, I didn't even say in my op that our RB clearly wasn't improved, I just said until I see us play a couple more games I'm withholding judgement. The reason I'm saying this is because we are already at a high ceiling talent wise, and based off ypc between SJ & White an increase of 5-10...

    Thoughts watching the Tulsa replay

    I do agree that having Shontrelle back, and the simple fact that he gives us more depth does result in that position as a whole being improved. The reasoning I had for not saying they are clearly improved at this point is because I think we could have had the same amount of total rushing yards...

    Thoughts watching the Tulsa replay

    I agree with just about everything that has been posted so far. IMO D-line, QB, WR, TE all have quite a bit of improvement from last year, depending on how the next couple games go you might even throw RB in there. Beyond that, LB, O-line, RB (for now) are all a push from last year, but the...

    Tile edge question

    I would recommend using a schluter product. This is what we typically see in commercial and residential(contractor built) projects. They have a bunch of different profiles. I believe you can get it at any tile/stone shop that isn't a big box store. Schluter Systems - Homepage -...

    If you have not purchased Cyclones.tv....

    Can anybody give a quick recap or confirm the .tv capabilities on an iphone? From what I've read it doesn't appear you can stream the videos on iphone/ipad by using the website and not the app, and when you do use the application you only get a portion of the content. I'm interested in getting...

    Uniform thread - New style

    I haven't looked anything up to claim it is an official rule. It does however make sense that it is indeed a rule. My first thought was that Michigan had a throwback jersey with stripes on it. After going back and looking at some pics, they did do a throwback jersey with stripes, however they...

    "Hey, look at that freshman!" stories

    I'm sure I was guilty of doing many things that pointed me out as a freshman. However, unfortunately I didn't even get a lanyard/DIS bag/shirt because my freshman roommate and I decided to go out and drink instead. I blame this on my then roommate joining/being on the LaCrosse team so they...

    Know your opponent - Tulsa

    Thanks for providing the info Ciclone. It's nice to be able to go to one post and find all those reviews. I haven't read all those reviews yet but it sounds like their safety Dexter McCoil will play to their advantage in our game with being able to cover the receivers and stop the run...

    CBSSports/Jerry Palm rankings

    I must be confused then... All I did was go to the OP link and looking at that chart, third column from the right is the SOS for each school. That is what I was referring to, where he has ISU as #12 and Minnesota at #9. I'm I looking at the wrong thing? Or did you go to a different section...

    CBSSports/Jerry Palm rankings

    Does anyone know if the the SOS he has listed for each team are similar to those on other credible sites? Just noticed half of the Big 10 are shown in the top 10 of SOS, and considering Minnesota is at #9, we are at #12, and they play UNLV, Syracuse, Purdue, W. Michigan, New Hampshire...

    Notre Dame FUGLY Helmets, Uniforms are Okay.

    Definitely not a fan. For the universities that have been able to create that special brand over the years, see USC, Neb, ND, Michigan, etc... why change what people recognize without being a fanatic. Is what they have now pretty basic? Yes, but when non-fans see the basic uniforms and...

    One important sign of improvement

    Agreed. That and I'm hoping with a more simplified playbook, that alone, helps us cut down on turnovers and the 3 and outs.

    One important sign of improvement

    This is one of the biggest things that always bothers me. I know we need to put more points on the scoreboard but another thing that would help would be if we could cut down on the 3 and outs to at least soak up the clock and give our defense a rest. I'm not sold our offense will improve much...

    ***Official Friday Confession Thread***

    I confess that I had really spicy tacos yesterday for lunch, corned beef and cabbage for dinner, a pot of coffee this morning, and two bananas this morning for breakfast. All of which give me HORRIBLE gas. Best of all, I can't help but laugh every time someone enters my office because it has...

    RECRUITING: Jarrod Uthoff set to visit later this week

    My understanding of this makes me believe that he would have three years of eligibility left, after sitting a year out, and no different than if he comes to Iowa Sate. Granted I'm not up to par on the NCAA regulations revolving around transfers, but my interpretation of the rule where it says...

    Iowa Gets ANF Pro Combat Unis

    A friend just sent me a link to this website. This is a little ridiculous and it could have been done better. However it's fun non the less... Enjoy... Iowa gets ANF Pro Combat uniforms - Black Heart Gold Pants First time I'd even heard of this website.

    Would you take 6-6 today (plus bowl) or gamble for 7-5 or better?

    Give me the 6-6 + bowl game guaranteed. From my perspective I only see three games that SHOULD be guaranteed wins in Tulsa, Western Il., and Kansas. I only see two games that are very promising wins in Tech & Baylor. The rest of the games are not very promising. The only game last year we...

    Game in NW Iowa?

    I am wondering the same thing, cept I'm in Sioux City and have Cable One. If you go to FSNorth website Fox Sports North it says 6 p.m. (Alternate Channel) NCAA Football: Iowa St. at Baylor (Live) HD. Unfortunately I've gone through every channel and do not see it on any "alternate" channel...

    ***Official Iowa State vs. Baylor Gameday Thread***

    From everything that has been said to date. LJ has been practicing since Tuesday so he will be playing but probably not 100%. SH. J. I haven't heard much about, other than I think it may have been just a stinger so I'm assuming he will be 100%, and KO still has a nagging injury but will be...
