    Where would you rank Prohm far as big 12 coaches go.

    7th. I've wanted to stay positive on SP and have been quite on this till now, but seeing a lot of McDermott tendencies ,,,, not able to adjust during the game, not getting player buy-in on defense, limited set plays, etc. We know how that story line went.

    McDermott confirms that Hamilton and Buckley will transfer

    How do all these defections effect the NCAA rules on progress toward graduation? Could we be looking at sanctions because of this mess? The long term effect of losing a generation of Cyclone basketball fans is staring us in the face. My son ( a current ISU soph) is lucky to have known "Hilton...

    Judge Halts SE Polk's Suspension of Player

    Most Iowa HS have a Code of Conduct and many have the guilty by association clause. Most schools have a self-policing provision in these cases, but there is still some sort of suspension involved even if the player/ singer/ cheerleader, etc. admits to being there. They still have to take the...

    New Hilton Records in the Books

    Agreed. The last two weeks have convinced me that we've been outcoached, and it only get worse. The team should have been listening to the TV announcer on to how to set up the defense for the final 6 seconds ... rather than their coaches. It's obvious that opposing teams know what we are...

    Take them to a women's game. All of you can have a good time while watching a team that knows each others strengths and a coach that can make adjustments to win games.

    2010 Pre-Season CFNews - ISU #51

    You've probably have us analyzed quite accurately. Maybe you should change to a statistics major..... or keep posting on this board instead of working out.

    If you could choose one Cyclone from the past to come and help this team out

    Is there any chance Harrison Barnes could be convinced to change his mind? Right now N. Carolina and ISU are equal, overall 13-10 and both with only two conference wins.

    ISU Athletic Stadiums Re-Name?

    Maybe everyone on this board should read the article about Jack Trice in the winter "Visions" - the ISU alumni magazine. Especially the top 1 1/2 lines on page 18. "... Iowa State football isn't about catering to money." An editorial that won a prestegious Hearst Jounalism award.

    The season isnt over by far...

    It became frighteningly obvious last night (in the first 20 minutes), what has been noticed much of the season. We need to play more intese defense and stress rebounding.... as well as minimize turn overs. Mac has been saying the team has been working on these areas. Maybe he has ( he was...

    What was the first concert you attended?

    Hey, now I know they really did play everywhere. Thought they were great when I saw them in western Kansas in a cowboy bar in early/mid-70's. No one had heard of them and darn near threw them off the stage. Their energy saved them... who knew....

    The season isnt over by far...

    25 years ... ? Johnny Orr thru LE, not always great, but the start of Hilton Magic. At least 23 good years of entertainment. Morgan still did OK, but the style was changing!

    The season isnt over by far...

    The story of two halves.... but the early game trend continues of the opposing team hits three pointers to get off to a big early lead. Why did it take till the 2nd half for us to decide to play defense? On 4 of their first half 3 pointers, Coach Mac was closer to guarding their shooters...

    What was the first concert you attended?

    Iowa's rendition of WOODSTOCK. "Galena in Wadena"- pasture party. Wadena, Iowa Summer of 1970. 30,000 in attendence. We decided to go as we were soon going to start pre season football practice as we entered 9th grade. Older buddies could drive. Awesome -- Lynyrd Skynrd, Flying Burrito...

    German Article on Lucca

    It seems that a team in the Big Ten had a guy a few years back- Chris Kingsbury with similar skills ( or lack of) as Lucca. Let's see...... anybody heard of him lately????

    History lesson: ISU MBB departures

    You can even go back further into ISU history. Muary John took some chances on some questionable types then got a highly rated recruiting class in 72/73. But the bad seeds and hand we are dealt led to ( I tried to forget) Ken Trickey/ Lynn Nance/ Johnny Orr as well. None could bring ISU to the...

    Texas Tech Perspective

    Regarding moving on, searched the Texas Tech blogs for their take on tonight's game. Didn't find that, but found an interesting ( but long) thread about the Leach situation and going forward. Great perspective. Not sure how to drag it over, but found it at Double T Nation red raiders...
