    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs #13 West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***

    I don't think I'm that same Cyclone fan you're talking about that will be at the game but I live in Morgantown and will be at the game. My wife is a WVU graduate so I'm pretty familiar with WVU football and basketball. Previous posters have been right in acknowledging that WVU doesn't press...

    Hoiberg Watch 2015: Friday, May 29 Thread

    I would be pretty happy if you told me I would be able to coach D-Rose, Pau Gasol and Jimmy Butler. That's some good offensive talent. Plus, since Thibs is gone, maybe he'll put some additional 3 pt shooters on the floor (McDermott). Mirotic and Duvleavy are options to stretch the floor as...

    Hoiberg Watch 2015: Friday, May 29 Thread

    What about Archie Miller to replace Hoiberg? Completely different style than Hoiberg, but he's a really good young coach.

    My thoughts on Iowa State Football...

    Since you think the Strength of Schedule is too difficult, what do you suggest? The schedule won't get too much easier even if you schedule a bunch of patsys for non-conference. Change conferences? Not happening (we like the $$ playing in a power conference too much). ISU's problems are on...

    sick of bend dont break

    As far as defensive philosophy, I don't mind "bend but don't break"--but when we get beat by huge chunk yardage plays for TDs that's frustrating because that is what this defense is designed to stop. We are betting the offense can't march 10+ plays without making a big mistake (turnover...

    It's not a talent issue.

    It's absolutely a talent issue. Rhoads won the first 3-4 seasons with more talented teams (at least 1st stringers) recruited by Chizik and staff. Now that those players are gone there is an obvious talent gap (especially on the lines). We have had different o-line coaches and the results are...

    MLB: 2014 Chicago Cubs

    Theo is doing a great job at acquiring talent. I hear Cub fans complaining they didn't get a top pitching prospect which I can understand but talent is talent. The plan is to acquire as much talent as possible and trade to fill in the gaps. Having 1 very good SS in the majors and two more...

    We'll Be Back Better Than Ever

    No worries next year. We'll be back in the big dance as long as Niang is healthy for most of the year. Ejim was a great player as was Kane but Monte can slide over to the point (assuming Custer takes a while to adjust and see major minutes) and Nader can fill Ejim's shoes.

    Rohach is hard to watch

    Re: Rohach is a boy amongst men. Rohach is more of a pure pocket passer and not nearly as athletic as sam. The offense needs the threat of a mobile qb to have a chance.

    Do you realize how hard it is to lose when

    Messingham will be gone by years end. Someone will get the ax for this year's train wreak of a season and it won't be Rhoads.

    I'm sorry guys

    Although I am frustrated with the loss, I am encouraged with the progress of the team offensively and defensively. Wimberly's td run was amazing. A note on Texas's play calling--Why exactly did they abandon the run in the second half? I would have given it to Jonathan Gray as many times as...

    ***OFFICIAL: UNI @ IOWA STATE GAME(DAY) THREAD!***

    I really thought that by year 5 in the rhoads era we would be dominating both lines of scrimmage against an FCS opponent. Also, I think it can be safely assumed now that David Irving's move to DT so late was a move of desperation by the coaching staff.

    Nebraska's 2014 schedule

    Although this schedule looks soft now, you never know how good any of these teams will be in 2014. Plus, Iowa always has trouble with NW and they'll lose that game at Pitt.

    Grade the 2012 season

    B-, we made a bowl game and had some big road wins. The bowl game leaves a bad taste in the mouth but with the offense being so bad it was amazing we won as many games as we did.

    Myck Kabongo suspended for season

    How the heck does the NCAA find out about these infractions anyway? Do they constantly spy on players hoping they break the rules? Or do opposing assistants point the NCAA in right direction? Jay Bilas was having a cow over this saying Kabongo should have been suspended a couple games at most...
