    Ejm on the boards

    I get the feeling that Ejim and Houge won't be seeing the floor a lot together. There are few times where we would try to go "big", especially when our two big guys are only 6-6. I think when Houge is on the floor, he will be paired with Niang... maybe I'm wrong, but that's the feeling that I...

    Where is our home field advantage?

    Not good, but much more fixable than the opposite. As our team improves, our home record will, and if we remain road warriors while our home record improves, we will have a very, very good team.

    Cyclones last 15 games

    Well, to start, you could have used the first 3 games from last season and we would be a more respectable 7-11 (obviously, we'd like it to be higher than that even, but given our history and our conference, that is a lot better than it could be). Not to mention that last year, the Big 12 was the...

    Where is our home field advantage?

    I definitely agree. Jack Trice seems quieter during most of the game (even the huge moments) than it should be if there are 50,000+ fans there. I don't know why that is, but it's true. I went to the Portland-Seattle Major League Soccer game on Sunday (and Portland's home stadium holds less than...

    CBS Top 100 players, Niang and Ejim listed

    Anybody else think it's presumptuous to put Wiggins at #1? The kid has never played a college game. Maybe he will be the best player in college this year, but right now? I would totally take Russ Smith or Marcus Smart over him.

    Here Comes A Big 12 Apology Letter!

    And the ref's refusal to call holding on the Texas line--which would have negated at least one of those PI's too.

    Can't we just hate all three the same?

    A note on the throwbacks design--look at Central Michigan's uniforms.

    Well that's pretty disappointing. I loved the throwbacks except the big white numbers. Oh well. Maybe they saw how sexy they were and will make some minor tweaks and reuse them/adopt them.

    Bo Pelini... Dis gonna get good! NSFW.

    Looks like he's finally ****** off some big-time donor, who decided it was time for Bo to go. Fastest way to do that is to release this after an embarrassing home loss and the comments about Fraizer. Wonder if he'll let the door hit him on the way out.

    Notebook: Rhoads teleconference transcript, injury updates

    Thanks, I had those two mixed up. Maybe the bubble screen works, but I hope we never, ever, ever run a WR screen again.

    Notebook: Rhoads teleconference transcript, injury updates

    I really don't agree that we couldn't throw the ball deep. It seemed like we didn't even try. I mean, I don't know. I suppose he knows better than I. The way that I saw it, was that we would have guys run deep routes, but that we would have our short routes be the first passing options, and...

    Notebook: Rhoads teleconference transcript, injury updates

    Dear lord I hope not. Unless they're to Wimberly and we have Brun out there blocking, I hope we never ever run a bubble screen again.

    Poll on how us Fanatics view Messingham

    I freaking raged at that call. TO GET A FIRST DOWN, THE BALL HAS TO CROSS THE STICKS. DO NOT THROW IT A YARD BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. If you're worried about time in the pocket, run a quick slant/5 yard in/out. A really, really ****** WR screen solves nothing. I have no idea why anyone ever...

    Monday Musings: State of the nation

    I mean, sure we'll be better next year--but it seems like it would be pretty hard right now to be worse next year. I'm glad that we're young, but we have to draw some wins. If we want to keep recruiting and getting talent in who can fight for starting spots, we have to win. A bigger problem...

    So do we win a game this season?

    Depend on if we keep Messingham or not. I honestly don't think we will win with him calling plays. If we dump him? We could win 3-4 games... But I am guessing he doesn't get canned in time. I am honestly not going to watch another game that he calls the plays for. It is so damn frustrating.

    Iowa ISU Position Breakdown

    Yeah. Sometimes that will backfire, and the QB will step up given the opportunity... but theoretically, our DB's should be able to cover their WR's pretty well, so if we're committing guys up front, it will limit their offense and also give us a bit better push in the pass rush as well. Pressure...

    Updated Depth Chart

    It's a good thing. I got #75 at auction, and that's his number! Though, per NCAA rules, ISU cannot confirm or deny who wore the number on game day, so I guess I'll never know for sure who wore the jersey I got...:twitcy: I'd love for him to come in as an extra blocker on a goalline set or...

    There is a hope

    I am sure they want the win, but I highly doubt that a third loss to us would put them in a death spiral. It might actually help them, if it got them to rid themselves of Ferentz and get some fresh blood in there. They will throw everything they have at us, as we will they--it's the nature of...

    Win ISU football shirts & a Pendleton blanket! (CF sponsor Kagavi's final contest)

    Re: Win ISU football shirts & a Pendleton blanket! (CF sponsor Kagavi's final contest I am all over this. I'm really happy we have fans like you, what you have added to my knowledge of the university is astounding--to get one of these would simply be the cherry (pie) on top.
