    Jack Trice throw backs

    I just got a confirmation email. I think I might have overbid (350 for a redshirt freshman O-lineman who probably won't see playing time), but I really didn't want to get sniped. I'm still pretty stoked. I can't wait to get that thing on my wall, and have an awesome set of lucky game day socks.

    Should be a fun meltdown

    Also, I find it hilarious that they are still saying "we can still win the Big 12"... I mean, that defense just got beat down. It won't survive in the Big 12. Not saying they're gunna lose every game, but if they go on to win the conference, I'm going to eat my hat.

    Should be a fun meltdown

    Wow. I'd heard rumors of GOEMAW being bad, but that is a pretty damn outrageous meltdown. I mean, they are lucky to have a coach the quality of Snyder. Its funny... but really sad at the same time.

    Seneca to be cut from 49ers

    That sucks, but what did you expect? A lot of teams only carry 2 QB's now, and he joined the team like a week ago. Not really high hopes. But if Kaepernick goes down, they'll probably call him first--he's mobile, and at least went through some practices, so he would make a good short term backup...

    Ames tribune

    I wouldn't have given a crap about Forde if he had offered ANY justification. Or, if he would have left out the pot-shot about our "rivalry" with WVU. And with Ubben, maybe the Oklahoma St game wasn't the right call... but at some point, our rivalry with Iowa (or the Tulsa game last year) had...

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    This thread is older than I am. But seriously, I don't think it's easy to tell. Fred has been a resounding success, and looks like he's building a winner year-in and year-out. 2 straight years with wins in the NCAA is nothing to shake a stick at. However, you can't say McCaffery has been...

    Ames named worse town in Big 12

    Someone has to reach for the low-hanging fruit.

    Let's talk about ISU logos that feature an actual Cyclone

    Yep. We're too late to hit the golden, classic style correctly, and never had the history to match it. If anyone thinks we're keeping the USC lookalike uniforms that we have now past when Pollard leaves, they've got another thing coming. Thats why I'd love to see the JT uniform adapted (maybe...

    Let's talk about ISU logos that feature an actual Cyclone

    Yeah, I like this one the best too. It's new and modern, but not canned to imitate other programs like the I-State logo is (see Ohio State for one), and it still has some unique character to it. I mean it's not perfect, but it's better than the other ones we use now.

    Gold fb unis here to stay

    I like them as a change of pace. I'm not sure about gold helmets--White would be good. I just wish ISU would embrace the change. No, it doesn't really add a lot in recruiting (at least, unless you can change like Oregon) but we're not a national brand in the way the athletic department would...

    Report: Former USF WR is in Ames. Will he commit?

    It sucks that he'd have to sit out a year, but oh well. Any infusion of talent into the program is a good one--especially if he already has a connection with Richardson.

    Power Ranking the Big 12

    Seems fair. I'd put Baylor below us because Scott Drew. I honestly think this is a down year for KU. Great year for Wiggins individually, but I don't think the team gels, and Self can't win every conference championship ever. It's just not possible. Either OKST puts an end to it this year, or...

    Big 12's best fans

    The problem is that it skews data towards teams that underperform. You have KSU as the last place team, yet they have an attendance percentage of 1.0055--slightly over capacity for the season. They're lowest because they won the most, so in effect they're being punished for that. There's not a...

    A surprise position competition on the ISU D?

    Nothing wrong with having some depth and athleticism at LB, especially a RS Freshman. And it certainly doesn't hurt that he has a name that carries some weight around.

    CHIVE

    I quit the chive when the owners started getting political with some issues--like starting a stupid facebook "movement" called something similar to "One Million Strong for the release of the Osama death photos" or someshit like that. I can find my funnies and hot chicks online without having to...

    Wimberly...

    I hadn't heard that, but it is good to hear. I'm all about having a Tavon Austin type RB/WR/KR on our squad.

    Wimberly...

    Yeah, I'm sure Texas and OU are just going to let an offensive player by them and anticipate that he won't catch the ball thrown at him. That's a key part of defense, counting on the other team's player to fail on their own, instead of actually defending the available options to a play. It's...

    Wimberly...

    We had to do something. If he's the fastest player on the team, even if he can't catch well, he can stretch the defense deep, helping the underneath routes from our TE's and and other receivers. Or, running bubble screens with a shifty player and feeding him easy to catch balls would be a good...

    Why so many rap songs about Iowa State?

    Nothing got me more jacked up than hearing Comin' Thru at the games last year. I fully plan on downloading it and adding it to my pregame playlist for this year, since I no longer live within range of ISU games.

    NFL says customized face masks are not allowed

    What I don't understand is that they're allowing medical wavers, so that it can prevent eye and neck injuries with people who have been injured before. But, that being said... wouldn't it make sense to allow players who know the possibility of injury adopt facemasks to prevent them, knowing that...
