    Is it time to move on from Manning??

    Then how do you explain last year and the beat down in the bowl? The players (for whatever reason) were able to average 30+ a game and had best season in school history. I am usually first in line to blame coaches but with everybody returning and the abysmal play on offense I am blaming the...

    Campbell post-game presser

    He most definitely fell on the sword - which any really good leader would/should do. I however certainly do not blame him for the loss (certainly not exclusively). For one of the first times in my life, I am viewing this loss on the players - specifically the offensive players. Their...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Licking our wounds ... up next, Vegas

    Most seasons I would agree it is not 'necessary' for ISU to beat Iowa to have a great season; however this season I believe is different. Not just a majority but most all of the team back from a very successful 2020 campaign, GameDay gracing us with their pressence for a second time in 3 yrs...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Licking our wounds ... up next, Vegas

    So you just admitted we can either beat Iowa or attempt to have success in the rest of the season. Not both. I could not disagree more. In prior years, I equated early season struggles to a building program that is continually putting in new/better parts until we reach a level of consistency...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Licking our wounds ... up next, Vegas

    Why is beating Iowa and having successful seasons mutually exclusive to you and others on this site? What happend Saturday (given the vast experience that was returning on this team) is simply unacceptable. Given we have seen this same urgency of play for 2 weeks now, I am beginning to...

    Rutgers' B1G Money Issues

    I got a few things out of that article: 1) Rutgers facilities really sucked prior to joining the B1G and are really still substandard when compared to the rest of the conference. 2) Poor contract negotiators. Why would you agree to 6 yrs of Big East level payouts when you knew the reason the...

    Expansion Candidates

    I would think a bit bigger and go with 8 addditions. BYU/Cinn/UCF/USF/Houston to bring in schools with large alumni bases (and thus eyeballs) plus located in larger markets. I would also then add the 3 academies to bring in those games/viewership as well (plus some ND games via the academies)...

    Pollard being arrogant over the years

    Why? BB is not football. Couple of solid classes and a good coach will have it going by 3rd yr. If not, wrong person for basketball coach.

    Report: T.J. Otzelberger headed for Iowa State

    You are exactly correct that Baby J biggest weakness is his ego. He has done good things in terms of facilities but only has one great hire and one lucky hire for the power sports despite numerous attempts. History says there is a greater chance this flops vs succeeds given his track record...

    Coach Prohm Gets Extension

    A lot of winning posts in this thread. Always fun to look back at a little history o_O

    For all you Dave Ramsey lovers....

    Thought this was interesting. What a psycho and cult. https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2021/01/29/is-dave-ramseys-empire-best-place-work-america/4281535001/

    What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..

    I don't think anyone is saying get rid of Pollard. It just gets nauseating all the constant praise for Baby J from a large part of the fan base (that he can do no wrong). He has done some really good things and also made some very poor decisions. Prohm is one of his very poor decisions.

    What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..

    Plus Pollard is the genius to also extend Prohm after a mediocre season thus leaving us in this problematic situation.

    What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..

    Is part of that hope he is going to sell a statement he is not going to be running the search? As his track record w the basketball program is not stellar.

    FS: 2 tickets+parking tonight OSU FREE

    It will take at least a Benjamin for me to take those tickets and watch that game.

    Would TJ drop everything and take the ISU job if it came open?

    Couldn't agree with you more - but watch out for the large contingent of people here who think Baby J walks on water.

    *** Official South Dakota State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Sports are about results. Chiz results speak for themselves.

    *** Official South Dakota State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I don't disagree about CMC. Remember had to go thru the Chiz and Paul before we got there though. And how about wrestling (although Dresser looks like he will get us back to wher we were before Cael and when J started). His history in hiring coaches is not real impressive.

    *** Official South Dakota State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Remind me - who was the genius who gave Steve an extension? How many AD's get to hire 4 coaches without having the program consistently strong. McDormatt. Lucked into Hoiberg. Prohm. Honestly who trusts him with replacing his own stellar hire Steve.

    Margins?

    I agree this is unfortunately becoming the norm for this program (examples include UNI, Drake, ND, KSU, etc). I also like this staff, but I just can't agree with this staff 'elite in ability to build a winning program culture'. If they were elite in this area we would not be seeing an utter...
