    If you could take 1 former Cyclone and add them to the current roster, who would you choose and why?

    This. Need someone who can put ball through basket. How bout we give our leading scorer a call?? Although selfishly I’d love to see the magician Mel Tinsley play college ball again. Nuthin like it.

    Are we cautiously optimistic or all in?

    The extremely positive signs we’ve seen so far: #1 This team does not violate the number one rule of winning: Don’t beat yourself. (Those free throws will eventually bite ya tho.) #2 Any couch sitting dope who watches college hoops with some regularity has observed if you move ball, defend and...

    Are we cautiously optimistic or all in?

    The more difficult the team the more these guys seem to step up. They played like they were in the national championship tonight. I vote with those who are just ecstatic to be able ta watch hoops all winter long. Everything else is gravy. Still, tip o the hat to this team, players and...

    What a joy to watch this basketball team!

    Agreed. Win or lose this is a beyond watchable brand of basketball. As their shots fall it’ll only get better. Besides the fundamentals of ball movement, defense and rebounding, I could swear I saw some “refuse ta lose” in the attitude on the floor against Xavier. Stick with this program fellas...

    Who else is tired of coach talk?

    THAT’S what started all this banter?? If anything he was too generous with his time. The media questions were decent and it was 20 minutes of school is in session with Matt Campbell. Surely coach has better things to do coming off a sixty freakin two yard field goal. Could it be some of us are...

    Who else is tired of coach talk?

    The only other thing I would add to this “dialogue” is the aspect of a Matt Campbell team that you can’t count. One of the greatest things Campbell has brought to Ames is “the brand of football.” By that I mean the player pride in performance, the increase in knowledge and competence of what...

    Who else is tired of coach talk?

    Didn’t fulfill their potential compared to what - your expectations?? That’s not a fact, that’s a fan-based opinion. I commend you for having high expectations. I suspect no one has higher expectations or lower disappointments than anyone’s coach - ekspecially ours!!! Here are a couple facts...

    Who else is tired of coach talk?

    https://cyclones.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-campbell/1118 Looks like we need a refresher on Coach’s last 6 years. It’s really come to us being concerned, annoyed even, about Coach speak??? Read through CMC’s profile while recognizing there have been precious few, none that I can...

    Question for The Ages

    Fair point, although again I think it'd be wise to ask the players if preparation and adjustments were adequate or not. Outsider lookin in, it seems to me we violate the number 1 rule of winning more often than being out-adjusted and out-maneuvered by opponents. And what is the number 1 rule...

    Question for The Ages

    Who can forget the Nov 24, 2018 K State game at the Jack? Clearly the most extreme example of the comeback kids where they score 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter for the mother of all comebacks. Must admit, when it works it’s a helluva ride. When it doesn’t work, it’s at least worth asking the...

    Question for The Ages

    I’m guessing the players could answer the question for the ages in about two minutes time and be in general agreement. I’m guessing last years roster could do that as well as this years roster since the pattern was largely similar. Put yourself in the players cleats. What would they say about...

    Question for The Ages

    All great replies so far. Must admit tho, after the Texas game where we did little in the first half and were unstoppable in the 2nd, and the Texas tech game where we almost pulled off the come from behind miracle, I’m still scratchin my head. I realize there’s an opponent on the field and the...

    Question for The Ages

    If Campbell and company knew wouldn’t he have already responded to the problem with some consistency? I get the risk averse ness that some of you are suggesting here but don’t we have the talent and the commitment to development, not to mention facilities and administrative support, to overcome...
