    Tom Vilsack New ISU President?

    I think TV would be a good choice (from an ISU sports fan's perspective) for the following reasons: One, I believe that TV wants to replace Tom Harkin when he retires. Being ISU president would keep him in the public eye until that time comes. If that is the case, he wouldn't want to do...

    Overall Talent Level

    Question for those more knowledgeable than myself: Do you feel that the overall roster talent level has improved in recent years - say beginning with the Chizik years up to the present? Worse? (!) Or about the same?

    Oops, I say above that the conditions/expectations are spelled out in the article. I meant to say that they are NOT spelled out.

    DM Register Article on Lattimer

    This morning's Register reported that ISU officials said that Lattimer's prior felony conviction in Kansas will have no bearing on his status with the ISU football team. I take this to mean that ISU will not hold his prior conviction against him. If so, it would appear that Lattimer would not...

    lattimer and howard suspended indefinately

    I didn't say "he put the cops hands behind his back and pulled him down." I said, "He grabbed the cop's arms from behind and pulled him away."

    Drop UConn

    Kansas State built their football program from nothing with the help of an easy non-conference schedule. Missou backed out of their arrangement of Iowa because according to their coach, they needed to build their program. Iowa State needs to build its program. As for the buyout money, guess...

    Drop UConn

    If Jamie had dropped Utah from the 2010 schedule and replaced it with an unranked opponent, ISU would probably have finished 6-6 and gone to a bowl game. This would have helped recruiting in particular and the program in general. He didn't, and now that's water under the bridge. I hope...

    In addition: Emperor = America Paul = the 12th Iman The planet Dune is more than Iraq; it is the Arab/Muslim lands that have oil.

    2010-11 ISU = 2007-8 Drake

    Three years ago, Drake shocked the bball world under 1st year coach Keno Davis. Picked to finish near the bottom of the Mo. Valley, Drake had a skinny 6'8" post player who was more of a 3-point threat than an inside threat. They had a shooting guard who could hit 3's from downtown Des Moines...

    MBB Scholarships

    According to my math, there are 13 scholarship players on the team this year (the limit). After this year, ISU loses 3 players and have commitments from 4 players, which would leave them with 14 players on scholarship. Do I have that correct? If so, who loses their scholie to get it down to 13?

    Steele Jantz

    Does anyone know what Jantz' completion percentage was last fall? I'm guessing that it was somewhere in the 50s. His other stats look great (as does his highlight video). But a completion percentage under 60% is disappointing.

    Calvin Godfrey

    CG has steadily improved his play since the start of the season. This is very important for a team with limited depth for several reasons. One, with Vanderbeken's propensity to get into foul trouble, it's good to know that someone can step in and provide decent minutes. Two, this gives Coach...

    MBB Depth

    From what I've seen in the first two games, I like the starting five; it could be competitive in the Big 12. My main question/concern has to do with the depth. What are your thoughts?

    Comparing McCarney and Rhoads

    Both are optimistic, high-energy guys. McCarney had some success, but not on a consistent basis. Will Rhoads be more consistent than McCarney? And if so, why? I was a big fan of McCarney, but he kept breaking my heart (2004 and 2005). So after last season's success, I tried to keep my...
