Coach Hayden Fry Passes Away at age 90
I was working security in the press box tower for Fry’s last game in Ames (a bad blowout loss for a Cyclone graduate who had attended many games in Iowa City as youth, thanks to his Hawkeye grandma and aunt), so know what it was and is to endure many years of mediocrity under both programs...- gjbuck

BLUM: The tall tale of Troy...
Great read about one of college football's best running backs! Seems so long ago and I guess it is, especially due to our recent complete collapse of a rushing game. I also still remember where Troy's runner-up trophy is located and the story behind it. I think Pollard should reach out to get... -

Different styles of coaches
Have enjoyed observing the different styles of coaching on tv this week between CFH, Fran, and Huggins, and the differing trajectories their teams seem to be heading. The always volatile Hawkeye coach has toned down his on court outbursts over the always present bad or questionable calls, but...- gjbuck

Prayers for a cyclone supporter
It was announced at church this morning that Ernie Allen (Allen Lazard's grandfather) is hanging on to life at our local hospice, trying to spare the family the memory of passing on Xmas day. Prayers for Ernie and his family. Ernie shared with me his pride in Allen and all his...- gjbuck

Troy Davis Recruitment
Do not know where Troy is today, but I do know where the trophy he received for being the runner-up Heisman is!!! He gave it to the ISU student who tutored him through college and to whom he gives all the credit for him graduating! She displayed it for years at the bar where she worked, but... -

Difference between Fred and Fran
Lots of good posts here but I would agree that Fran hasn't proved he can recruit what it takes to get into the dance. I think he does have some talent, but has yet to develop individuals to get to the next level. Though McCabe would be my choice for a game of horse, he cannot stay with most 3...- gjbuck

Difference between Fred and Fran
Great win over a good big 10 team Friday night, but a problem I think Fran has that he has yet to figure out is who on his so-called deep roster to have on the court during critical moments and how to distribute those minutes to maximize victories. Fred seems to have this figured out-- whether...- gjbuck

Great Basketball Tip Off Banquet at Lincoln Valley
I thoroughly enjoyed the 33rd annual tipoff basketball banquet last night at sold out Lincoln Valley in State Center! You cyclone fanatic fans not able to attend missed out on a classic reunion of coach Johnny Orr, Romy, and daughter Becky, with many old longtime friends and coach Fred Hoiberg...- gjbuck

More recognition for WM coach Ken Winkler
Props to West Marshall football coach Ken Winkler for being nominated for USA's best high school coach. He is up against some other good old coaches such as Pezzetti, Swenson, Tighe, Bladt, etc., but one thing Winkler can point out is that he has three former players on this year's team and one... -

Lights on University Blvd
While sitting in the grass lot by Hilton listening to the post game wrap up on the radio, we wondered why the street lights on University Blvd kept going off and then after a couple of minutes, come back on. Looks like this would clearly be a safety issue with all the vehicles trying to leave... -

Poor officiating
I was surprised no one has commented on how poorly the head linesman managed the clock in the closing minute of the first half of the Tulsa game. Even the TV guys mentioned that the clock was running several times when ISU had made a first down and the clock should have been stopped to reset... -

Suggestions for next 7 hour tailgate in 100 degree temps
I wish the university would have a water hydrant or at least crack a fire hydrant for cooling off made available for the hundreds of us poor people tailgating on the pavement or parched grass around Hilton. I had a small water bladder used for showers and washing up while camping that became... -

High light of tailgating afternoon
Did anyone see the tent/canopy takeoff in that freak gust of wind that acted like a dust devil around 2pm in B6? It must have risen to at least 75 feet in the air and looked like a skydiver coming down! I can see some of our intrepid aerospace engineering students trying to duplicate this... -

Tailgating Tent
Did anyone get a video of the tent/canopy by the bus in B6 take off in that freak gust of wind that acted like a "dirt-devil" around 2 pm? It must have risen 75 feet in the air and looked like a sky diver coming down! Everyone around there was really amazed at what they had just witnessed! I... -

Lazard story in Sports Spotlight
Good story about Lazard's respect for his mother's dad. Like Ernie has assured me, Allen will stay committed to the Clones! Hope Ernie will be able to watch his grandson's career in Ames and beyond!
