    Does Bass go over 200 yards?

    Re: Does Bell go over 200 yards? JJ is going to have a heck of a night, no doubt about it. Just you watch. He'll hit 150 with ease. But I'm an idiot, so that could be incorrect.

    Brian Kelly

    Cincy is definitely a talented team. He came into a good situation. Chizik however did not. i've become very fond of the word patience...I suggest everyone else does too.

    THE GAME

    I don't know about the other folks here that no longer are able to attend games due to distance or lack of funds...but every ISU game I ever attended, win or lose was the best sporting event I could have ever gone to. I saw Mark Buehrle's no-hitter live, I was in attendance when Petr Bondra...

    Revenue Sharing.

    I think the thing that the conferences will think long and hard about is who they are going to partner with. It shouldn't be a question of "If we should have a network" at all. Because nothing can give you better exposure. The company that the Big 12 should link up with is Comcast. While they...

    ISU Enrollment Up

    http://www.iastate.edu/~nscentral/news/2007/sep/enroll.shtml Hopefully they can keep this trend going. Better enrollment helps in all kinds of ways. It's good to see more kids drinking the Cyclone Kool-Aid and going to one of the finest Universities in the nation!

    Revenue Sharing.

    I think the Big 12 network is a necessity at this point. I live in Colorado now, and I had no idea that there was actually a network called The Mtn. it is all programming for the Mountain West conference. They had every team's press conference and at least 1-2 games a weekend. On top of it, the...

    ISU and Chizik mentioned on ESPN.com

    Yes, and its Darren McFadden. Hand him the trophy right now...13 of 14 possible first place votes. Clear the way...no stopping him now. Of course he received one fourth place vote by the inexplicably ill informed Bob Davie.

    ISU On ESPN's Bottom 10 "Waiting List"

    Well, it's not exactly a distinction that you would want. We made the list in 2003, and stayed for the majority of the season. It's unfortunate, but I don't think we'll stay there. Also, the Bottom 10 is more meant for humor than expertise. I wouldn't put too much stock into it...

    CFN ranks ISU #93...

    I wish a win over UNI would help our cause, but I don't think it really does anything. That's the thing about playing "Championship Sub-Division" teams or whatever...the only thing it does is hurt you. It can never help you. If you lose, you're a joke, a la Michigan. If you win big, oh...

    How will players react to Chizik?

    He definitely provides a change of pace, one that we'd all agree was needed. I've heard from a few players that they are huge fans of his style. There is certain to be more than a few that aren't. But no matter how you slice it, he brings an attitude that this team sorely has lacked, even in the...

    Still wondering what happened to names on jerseys?

    Only one name matters, Iowa State. I think that it will look better with the new uniforms. If you aren't going to have names, you have to make the numbers bigger as well. I think that's how it will be when we have new uniforms. I have always loved this approach. It is a very small thing. It...

    A homage post for JP

    I recently worked with a former Wisconsin strength and conditioning coach and he talked about how great JP was as an assistant AD in Madison. I still love the fact that he is all ours. He's made many tough decisions, but every single one has put Iowa State in a new direction. I don't know if...

    What Pleases Me Today...

    I look forward to every game. That makes the sting of the preceeding loss a little less painful. I think that we will see improvement, how much can't really be determined. UNI is a quality football team, and one that we could potentially struggle with. Still, I think that is a game that we...

    J.J. Bass

    There was a swagger to Bass, but not really a cockiness. I liked it. After every run, good or bad, he patted most of the players on the helmet or dished out some high fives and fist pounds. He didn't just get up and walk back to the huddle. He acknowledged the guys that allowed him to make the...

    Bret Meyer

    I agree that he has to get his head right if he's going to be successful. He is a mature enough guy to know the importance of his role, not only as a quarterback, but as a leader. His actions will speak louder than words. The team needs him to lead. You hate to say we're only as good as Bret...

    Chizik Era

    Ok, I know it was a tough loss, but the one thing that stuck out in my mind the entire game was the very beginning. Watching on Clone Zone, seeing Chizik leading the team to the field, I literally got chills. There is something about his aura that tells me that he is the man to right this...

    Program Problems (wrong numbers for players)

    I like hearing this...I'm a fan of that kind of coaching. At the same time, he is new to this and while that might work in high school, it may not have a positive affect on college athletes. Should be interesting to see how the players that didn't dress handled it. Still, I like the attitude...

    A little food for thought...

    There are a lot of things that I think Gene is going to take out of this game. He learned a lot about how our team performs in many different situations. They were so inconsistent that you can see what you've got. Obviously JJ Bass is going to be a solid contributer, Todd Blythe is who he is and...

    BIGGGGG PENALTY

    Iowa State vs Kent State

    I think its time to...continually throw it to Blythe...3 for 3 on the last TD drive...do it again. Or just let JJ Bass THE DESTROYER...just take it the whole way.
