    Friday OT - You’re The Best Around (Iowa)

    I suppose I should mention Red Faber since he was born in Cascade and a fellow Luxembourghian-American. Baseball hall of famer, played in the 1910-20s. Was one of the "Clean Sox" during the "Black Sox" scandal.

    Friday OT - You’re The Best Around (Iowa)

    Elijah Wood? I mean, he literally walked into Mordor, and it was my understanding that one simply does not do that.

    Is it possible ZRF is a AI bot designed to wind people up to drive engagement? That would bring in more views and ad revenue for CF...

    That's a good point. In addition to getting one of the other guards a rest, Pav does inject some different energy on the offensive side. Even for a couple minutes change of pace, it makes the opponent do things differently on defense. He is a useful piece for TJ to have in his pocket, just...

    247 recruiting rankings

    "Recruiting is destiny", everyone knows this and Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M proved it! ISU's recruiting rankings have and will always be lower than the reality of the recruits, just based on name on jersey. And I would rather have great coaching than great recruits at ISU's level - ie non-blue...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    How can there be that many teams WORSE than Iowa? My god its supposed to be a power conference.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Yeah, they will beat Sconnie or Illinoize at home, beat some of the tomato cans, end up like 9-11 in conference. The record certainly won't scream "fireable offense". Agree best case scenario for everyone but Iowa fans.

    Holy **** that’s a big win

    I like how TJ uses Pav, Watson for just spot minutes to save energy for the starters. But then when they are in, they both make winning plays. Last 3 games, combined, they are averaging: 10mpg, 3.3 ppg, 3 rpg, 1 steal/block pg That's a pretty handy "7th guy" - basically averaging a double...

    Holy **** that’s a big win

    I tried for a while, but he started doing bet picks during FB season, but not with any real analysis of the teams. So not very interesting to me. Plus he was generally really wrong, like his lock of the week was always dead wrong lol. So after about 2 doses of that I gave up. Tried one other...

    Mojo Nixon has left the building

    50+ and also never heard of him. From wikipedia: Also among his later work was "Tie My Pecker to My Leg", which featured lyrics about bestiality, incest, and coprophilia Well OK then.

    This is probably a better way to look at it - regular season conference championship competitiveness. IIRC Fred said something like "we are going to compete for Big12 regular season championships, and if we are good enough to be right there for that, then we will have success in the NCAA...

    I don't think so. FF every 4 years, yeah, that's a LOT to ask. You have to be really good AND have some luck. But E8 once every 4-5 years is not unrealistic, though I would call it aspirational - it's what we should be trying to achieve. Looking at couple comparable successful programs...

    Bracketology 2024

    IIRC, someone did a study a couple years back and the ESPN BPI SOR (Strength of Record) was the most correlated to seed line, like really close. If that holds true, then ISU is 13th, ie the first 4 seed. I think if it was today, they'd be a 4. If things go really well the next month, they...

    Ditto. He often seemed like the only guy efforting on some of those hopeless Prohm teams. He wasn't all-conference by any stretch, but at least he seemed to be average and trying hard. Man, the guards those last couple CSP years: Rasir - zero defence, high volume chucker; but the one-eyed...

    Holy **** that’s a big win

    That was terrible, just from a quality and content standpoint. First, he pirates the game feed, cant believe the Locked On ppl are ok with that. Crazy. Second, he has nothing to say. Throws around "embarassed" a lot, but doesnt say why. His one insight is that if theyd played as hard in the...

    *** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs Texas (SAMSUBA) Game(Day) Thread ***

    I've noticed that sometimes when they are rolling, they try to go for the big shiny highlight play, and overreach and turn it back over or clunk it somehow. Several times last night, they got a turnover, drove down and tried for a highlight pass that got deflected and stolen back. And not...
