    Rebuilding Rhoads

    Over the last year the Gazette has really worked hard to address the growing number of Cyclone fans. I live in Iowa City and have been here for about 3 years. (job took me here) Iowa State news was so rare it was unreal. The news stations are still horribly biased. Papers are coming around finally.

    CHIZIK FEATURED ON RIVALS FRONT PAGE!

    A sucessful history of a program can do wonders for recruiting. Gene jumped on the Train and rode it home. I just hope he likes being a coach that gets to make decisions after the Alumni and then the President and of course the AD approve it. I mean after all it is THEIR program. And as far as...

    Denver Post article on *star* ratings in recruiting....

    The star system was invented to satisfy a market that was previously untapped. Personally I feel it was an incredible idea on the inventors part. It should be studied in business classes someday. Those stars are as signifigant as the pre-season magazines. Like a perfect drug, we soak it up and...

    Butler to K-State

    Bill Snyder has already pulled off the biggest commitment for his team of all time. He somehow has their fans commited to him once again. Did they forget that he drove them down in the first place and Prince was left with a struggling team? I understand that he has given their fans hope, but...

    Any chance McGuffie comes to ISU?

    If you read he is transferring to Rice then that is probaly the end of the story.

    Interesting convo with a couple hawk fans

    Any fan of any team is going to hang their hat on any positive aspect of their program. The Hawkeyes deserve to be excited for this season. They started 3-3 and finished 9-4. That is impressive. I personally don't believe that Greene is the greatest running back in Iowa's history. He is just the...

    Would we want these guys?

    Agree, the article has their future spelt out loud and clear. Best of luck to all three of them in the future.

    Give Chizik credit for standing up...

    I personally believe that both coordinators who took a step down show great character and belief in the program. I am sad to see that their goals were not met initiallly, but they must see a benefit to stick around. How would you handle being demoted at your work place?

    Curse of the new helmet?

    we were doomed from the moment we ran out of a giant red catipillar wearing a cyclone helmet!

    Curse of the new helmet?

    In 2003 we dropped the flat red color and adopted the glitter red that many schools were going to

    Curse of the new helmet?

    Has anyone noticed that every time we change our helmets design, we suffer a horrendous season? Here are some examples 1983- 4/7 1986- 6/5 1987- 3/8 1995- 3/8 2003- 2/10 2008- 2/10 These are only a few years and I know this information is trivial, but hopefully a "seasoned" helmet will bring...

    passing routes

    I agree with many on this post. Our guys need really take advantage of good passes and secure them. Also I believe that our offense is not using slants often because we can't. At least I would like to believe that is why. These men running the team have made their career out of being...

    so, how bad is it going to be tomorrow?

    I just wonder how many scores against ISU it is going to take for me to lose all hope.

    Skunk River Rivalry?

    Hey Everybody! Does anyone remember 3 years ago when the last time we played Baylor it was called this? It was Baylor and our way of trying to create a buzz amongst the Red River Rivalry. Is anybody going to still call this game by its adopted name? -just wondering

    Baylor roll call/tips from Waco vets

    I was wondering something from any ISU or Baylor fans on this site. The last time we played each other it was dubbed to "Skunk River Shootout". I still laugh at that one. The way the story goes, Baylor was tired of its state only talking about the red river shootout going on that week. They...

    Official ISU Bar in Iowa City?

    Hey all! I am going to be present in Iowa City for the game Saturday to show support for the Cyclones. I do not have a ticket but will definately be watching the game from some bar there. Is there a certain bar Cyclone fans will be meeting up in to watch the game? I am not looking for...

    Seriously? Do we have to hear this every year?

    I will give the hawk fans this much, finally they are admitting that this game has started to become their "Super Bowl" also. I guess they do not have a choice really since they can no longer pretend that they belong at the same level with OSU, MU, PSU and WI. Not trying to bash hardcore on the...
