    Whitney Williams transferring

    Fennelly wins. McDermott does not. End of comparison.

    Charles Boozer is doing well

    This is the only good basketball related news I can think of since the Kansas State win. Glad to hear that he is doing well.

    Who else feels McDermott owes Cyclone fans an explanation?

    A public statement does very little. A resignation would be nice though.

    64 or 96 NCAA Tournament teams

    Expanding to 96 is ridiculous. The tournament already includes every team that has a legitimate chance at winning it. Other decent teams are able to play in tournaments like the NIT. The only possible reason to expand is money, which of course means that it will probably happen.

    What exactly IS basketball IQ?

    I think there have been multiple definitions on here that don't account for athleticism at all. There have also been examples, such as Michael Jordan and Harrison Barnes, who are clearly very athletic. Stinson wasn't exactly unathletic either.

    What exactly IS basketball IQ?

    I disagree. I remember the coaches always raved about Curtis Stinson's basketball IQ.

    What exactly IS basketball IQ?

    While certainly somewhat difficult to define, I think it makes sense to talk about basketball IQ. The following are relevant aspects of basketball IQ: 1. Instincts for the game. Examples include knowing when you can or cannot make a pass, taking smart shots, knowing when to help on defense...

    Johnson and Hamilton mirror images of each other

    I don't think everyone does.

    Hamilton Considering Cal, LSU, Virginia

    Would you have rather he said, "I can not stand the coaching staff. I think they are a-holes and don't know what they are doing. For that matter, I don't really like Ames or Iowa State University either. I would strongly suggest to anyone who is thinking about coming here to get out while you...

    Football depth chart update - 3-25

    I heard about a study done not too long ago that showed that line size does not correlate to better line play in the NFL. I think that was especially true for passing teams (the Colts have one of the smallest lines in the league). I think that size, while useful, is probably a bit overrated.

    Hamilton Considering Cal, LSU, Virginia

    Perhaps he has a little class? Perhaps he is not into conflict? Notice that there have not been any interviews with Hamilton posted on here? Do you think that would be the case if he had called out the coaching staff? As someone else here said, this appears to be the basketball breakup...

    Hamilton Considering Cal, LSU, Virginia

    Perhaps, but when over half of the team defects, then it stands to reason that a big part of the problem is that the coaching staff is having a hard time getting kids to buy into the program. The problem appears to by systematic more so than individual.

    Hamilton Considering Cal, LSU, Virginia

    If his choice is between lying and throwing his old school and coaches under the bus, then lying seems plausible. It seems that the reason he gave - homesickness - was not entirely accurate.

    Hamilton Considering Cal, LSU, Virginia

    This would explain a lot as far as lack of team improvement.

    Hamilton Considering Cal, LSU, Virginia

    I've not read the whole thread, but this is rather strong evidence that it is not homesickness that is driving Hamilton away. The next most logical conclusion would be that it is something to do with the program, which would explain the mass defections in the past. Having pulled for...

    Schedule-Quit complaining

    This won't change until the BCS changes. If I remember right, Texas purposefully scheduled cupcakes last year because an independent consulting firm told them that if they went undefeated the strength of the Big 12 schedule would get them in the Championship. They were right.

    Schedule-Quit complaining

    I agree with this. I don't see so much complaining as I see realism. If there is "What Will Our Record Be" thread or a "Will We Win the North" thread then it only makes sense to take a look at who we will be playing.

    Do we have a legit chance to win the North this year?

    Didn't read most of the thread, but this expresses my sentiments. Our schedule next year is brutal. We can make significant improvement on last year and still be far from winning the north.

    financial management software

    Another option to consider is the "You Need a Budget" (YNAB) program. When I was looking at programs several years ago it was highly rated, and it is still around and going strong. I haven't used it for a while though, mostly because I'm kind of lazy. http://www.youneedabudget.com/ If you...

    I hate to admit it

    You are what your record says you are. The record of the Big 12 in the tourney says that it was not as good as thought.
