    Tornado Warning

    I've never had more fun evacuating anywhere. That was sweet.

    The Hawks in the Big XII??

    I think you're right AirWalke. Who cares about some airport in Texas? I mean it's a stupid mistake. We've got this little inferiority complex at ISU that doesn't need to be there. The only thing that matters to me are other Iowa State fans. There is no doubt that Iowa State fans are among the...

    Friends aim to keep ISU out of deep end

    Chemistry among a coaching staff is one of those intangible things that can help you along the way. Pact or no pact, these guys can coach. There may have been guys out there with better schemes or more high profile experience. It's nice to know that our coaching staff gets along. It fits into...

    My hopes for the Chizik regime!!

    It may take Chizik a few years to get it going, just like Greg Schiano at Rutgers, but I have a feeling he's going to get us moving in the right direction in a hurry. That's not say it will show in the win/loss columns, but it will certainly start to show. 35,000+ season tickets is one thing...

    Oregon gets $100 Million donation

    Philip Knight...dude gots some cash. He's actually incredibly nice as well. He founded Nike while he was still in school with Bowerman, the track coach at Oregon. He developed shoes for Steve Prefontaine. I'm pretty sure he stepped down as president last year, but is still on the board. The...

    ISU announces LIVE webcast for Kent State!

    I just signed up for the month too. Doesn't look like the year is worth it for me at this point. But it sure is going to be great to keep track of the Cyclones on Thursday and hopefully in Toledo. Why did I ever graduate? That was really stupid.

    KC Star "Cyclones Finish at 2-10"

    Regarding this season, I just choose not to pay attention to things like that. I'm an optimist before every college football season. I think now that I am an alum and this will be the first season I won't be in the stands at the games, I can't help but think we're going to surprise some people...

    ISU to the Big 11???

    I don't know why people are even arguing about this. We are Iowa State guys. We are proud of our team and are loyal fans. But at the same time, we can't kid ourselves into thinking we are a big time rival of anyone, but Iowa. We do not consistently put a competitive team on the field. We're...

    Your opinion about news helicopters crash.

    I think that's probably going to be talked about by the FAA. While car chases are exciting, they are not as newsworthy as one might think. Not to mention, that they are extremely dangerous to anyone on the ground or hovering in the air. On the other hand, before Fox News Channel got as big...

    ISU to the Big 11???

    Man, I go away from the site for five days, and this is what I come back to? As a former resident of Big 10 country...I'd love to see it. No matter what anyone says, the Big XII simply isn't as good as the Big 10, especially when we are talking exposure and all-around athletics. I think that...

    Andy Fales has started in KC

    Andy Fales was easily the second best sports guy in the state of Iowa. It's hard to believe that he didn't go to an even bigger market. It was a smart career move though, because Keith Murphy will never surrender the title of best sports guy around. I believe that Andy could be an ESPN type guy...

    Cyclone football commercial

    Um...I just got chills. That commercial makes it look like we are going undefeated this year. Haha. "We are Iowa State" has never sounded more convincing. Great great job.

    Cubs trade for Jason Kendall

    Jason Kendall was MUCH better in the NL than he was in the AL. That said, he's an upgrade to what they have, but really not much more than that. Decent contact hitter, weak arm, no power...but hey, better than what they have.

    Sox Extend Buehrle for Four Years

    The only thing better than this for a Sox fan this year was Mark's no-hitter. He's a fan favorite and a great lefty. Gotta have that guy if they want to make a run in future years.

    Transformers was AWESOME!!!!

    Definitely a good flick. I would have to agree that it was Voight's worst movie, but that doesn't really make it any worse. Entertaining as hell and has at least 5 or 6 moments we're you're just like....WOW. Definitely worth the trip.

    Jake McDonough to Cyclones?

    Let's not all freak out here. Patience is a virtue. Gene Chizik was a defensive coordinator with amazing success, but we have to be honest with ourselves. A lot of these kids don't care about that he was a D-Coordinator. What they do care about is winning. It's going to be a long time before...

    Deace has another article

    Topic #6 is exactly why I refuse to listen to anything this man says. If you think that he is crusading on behalf of anyone but himself, you are dead wrong. This is a how much press can I get, how many threads will be posted, how good can I look, LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I respect his educated...

    Prof. Avila

    IMO an atheist religious studies teacher is actually beneficial to students. This guy studies religion from a logical and scientific stand point. The religious studies classes are not there to make people believe in Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, etc. It is there to teach our students what...

    Mascot Challenge -- ISU vs. ARK

    w00t. Totally pwned them. (I'm sorry, my internet vocab is considerably uninformed).
