    *** Official #7 Kansas vs #23 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I do apologize for being a “Captain Obvious” but I don’t believe that the poor free throw shooting can be ignored if the Cyclones are going to achieve their full potential this season. Winning teams make their free throws or run a greater risk of losing. That is generally a pretty established...

    Lying to other Mormons is bad. Lying to gentiles is A-OK.

    Yes, but one should give him points for creativity. Standing on a Native American burial mound and tripping balls on ergot tainted bread seems like a pretty creative way of inventing a new religion.

    *** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

    I watched most of that game and BYU didn’t handle the Cincinnati defense well and also fouled a lot when Cincinnati was aggressive at taking it to the hoop. I doubt that they will be prepared for ISU’ defense or for how well we drive to the basket.

    I agree with all of the above, plus the Clones need to make free throws at about the same rate that they have so far in conference play.

    Iowa State Men's Basketball Rankings 2023-24

    My uninformed guess is that is from a newspaper cartoon dating from the 1940’s or maybe early 1950’s. I couldn’t find it anywhere in any of the official type archives available online. Maybe I have too much imagination, but to me the character reminds me of some WWII era cartoons. He kind of...

    Let’s go Cyclones! Hopefully they don’t play the way Nebraska did after their big win. Don’t believe that will be the case with this team and coach. Cyclones win 78-60.

    *** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I’m watching KU at UCF right now. The announcers have spoken very highly of ISU’s victory last night. It was said that “That game at Ames last night had the feel of an elite eight type contest”. It looks like Self and crew are going down on the road!!

    Crazy Stuff Your Pooch Has Eaten

    I had a Labrador that ate a cd. Chewed it up and swallowed it. The poop that she left in the back yard absolutely sparkled in the sunshine.
