    Pollard's Record at ISU

    Agreed, Football is the 800 pound Gorilla in that scenario. While I have confidence in Chizk, the football hire will be the one that could make or break Pollard. With that said, if he gets the stadiums expanded and the bball teams wins big, he will be a top AD in the country.

    MLB: Best division?

    It is quite a leap to say at least 2 of hte teams from the Central will make the playoffs when no more than 2 can make it. In addition, based upon past preformance you cannot discount the AL East Team that doesnt win the division getting the wild card. Both the Yanks and Sox have a great shot...

    How much debt has college tuition put you in?

    While I was lucky enough to finish school with around 2500 in debt (I have great parents) I wish that I would have done some research ahead of time on that. If you have a choice of companies to work for, many will have some sort of loan reimbursement program...This is like free money, knowing...

    cnnsi.com list of top 20 freshmen

    While I would love to see Wes get some recognition, I would rather see our guys prove it on the court. I think that we will end up with a couple of solid 4 year type guys from the last class (Johnson and Johnson and Dodie). Not that those other guys deserve to be top 20 in hte country yet, but...

    Will ISU move up in the recruit rankings?

    The recruting could pick up at any moment. How many kids has the staff got to sit face to face with. With any recruit, there needs to be a level of familiarity to want to come to a school when they could choose among many. Hopefully, our coaches are able to get in front of as many guys as...

    FB recruiting... not many with "high" interest level...

    I like what Chizik is doing with his assistant coaching hires. It looks like the guys have strong southern ties and no offense to those of us in the upper Midwest, but the football players are from the south. Hopefully, Chizik and the rest of the staff can get the best players in state and be...

    WILL THERE BE ANYONE LEFT TO TAKE THE JOB?

    I am also frustrated about the lack of coaching announcement. I don’t blame Pollard for taking his time. Just get it right. Plus there are multiple good candidates in Texas. I feel like we are back at square one. National signing day isn’t until February, so there is time, but as always, it...

    McCarney vs. Kelly..who would you choose?

    I think many folks are forgetting the 1-10 years of Iowa State Football. Relevance to me means that we are at least a factor. While I loved Troy Davis, I would rather have a winning football team. Granted we didnt win much this year or the past few, but McCarney got us over the hump.

    What kind of coach do you want

    I cannot pigeonhole the coach with ant of those traits. On one, I would lean towards big name, regardless of NFL or College experience. On the others, I would want a well rounded coach to come in. All aspects are equally important. Good Post though!

    McCarney vs. Kelly..who would you choose?

    Central Michigan is a patsy that teams like ISU play to get a sure win.

    McCarney vs. Kelly..who would you choose?

    While agree that he has obviosly improved Central Michigan, is he going to improve a D-1 team that is on the cusp (I have to use that somewhat loosely, we are ISU) I would like to see him improve a school like a Baylor, and make them decent, then give him a chance to take a team to the next level.

    McCarney vs. Kelly..who would you choose?

    No, but I would expect someone who wants to coach at a major conference school to beat N. Illinois OR Kentucky. He was 6-5 in 2005. Sounds like a gem.

    Look at how this guy has done this year. 08/31 BC L 31-24 09/09 at #10 Michigan L 41-17 09/16 Akron W 24-21 09/23 at E Michigan W 24-17 09/30 at Kentucky L 45-36 10/07 at Toledo W 42-20 10/14 Ball St W 18-7 10/19 BGU W 31-14 11/04 at Temple W 42-26 11/10 W Michigan W 31-7 11/17 at N...

    McCarney vs. Kelly..who would you choose?

    Give me the proven commodity of McCarney every time. At least we know that we will be relevant in the North year in and year out. McCarney has delivered Iowa State from being the bottom feeders of the Big 12 to a team that people must prepare for. I was for getting rid of DMac and getting...

    Anyone Know What Berryman is Doing?

    We should ask him if he has any buddies in jail that are good at football and looking for someplace to play.

    People on the MSU message boards are saying Kelly is their guy...

    I would love to see Kelly go to MSU. He could win here, but he would top out at a DMac level. I see Harbaugh as winning as much as DMac, with the chance that he could win bigger.

    Harbaugh as next HC

    No one is completely clean. I would be very disappointed if we passed on Harbaugh because of a past DUI. Obviously, no one condones it, but we can’t disqualify based upon this one incident. Bring on Harbaugh!

    Harbaugh's resume' again incase some of you missed it. IMPRESSIVE!

    His body of work speaks for itself. Lets get a guy in here who will sell some tickets and create some excitement. Plus, Harbaugh may have some contacts in Football rich S. Cal.
