Williams: Iowa State finds good partner in Liberty Bowl after BCS mayhem
A good bowl game with tradition in a party town on New Year's Eve! What's to complain about? Especially when we were the ninth team in the conference to be bowl eligible and there were only eight bowl tie-ins. Yes, we've played Tulsa before, but it was a good game and the rematch should be... -
Kyle Shortridge decommits from Purdue
Purdue=Iowa State. Sounds like coming on board would be a good fit for the young man. And Lordy knows we could use some more D-line types. -
NCAA defensive rankings
To me, where our offense ranks is more distressing. In the Big XII, it's much more common to win by outscoring your opponents than out d-ing them. Which probably explains our conference W-L record over the years. -
Chizik Fired
Good to see Geno keeping his streak alive of never staying at top flight programs for too long. The 7.5 mil bailout...? Proof again that some folks have more money than good sense. O.k., the good sense would have been not to fire a perfectly good coach like Tuberville and replace him with a... -
Recruiting: Rodney Coe commits
Amen on Irving. Keep that young man on the field knocking down passes and kicks. -
Williams Blog: Bowl thoughts after yesterday's games
Any bowl where you don't have to use orange balls to show up on the snow and they don't have huskies pulling the golf carts would be good. -
Night game
If the family wedding you skipped were your own, that would make it a truly memorable night. (I was there, too, heckuva game, but as usual with OU, we came up short. At least they weren't eating hot dogs on their side of the field during the game.) -
Iowa City will be a sea of red on Friday
It's been far too long since the last time the hoks hosted UNL. They have forgotten that they are up against fans with even more in-bred loyalty than the hoks. With the holiday break and the hoks abysmally incompetent, I have a feeling hok fans in general and uofi students in particular, are...- cyingreen

Did you hear that Hawkeye D-B on Sound-Off? (Lol)
Probably the same moronic hok who got on Sound Off after we beat them in I.C. and smugly told Cyclones not to expect anything more than a cold weather bowl (not an impossibility, drat!) while he and his fellow hoks basked in the warm sun on the beach of yet another hok January bowl (an that IS... -
How we gonna make them pay?
Seeing as how football coaches follow success, and seeing as how UT had tons of success blitzing the heck out of us, I expect KU and WVU to do the same. How do we respond and get the defenses back on their heels? -
At least the Hawks lost
The hoks losing always presents a challenge: enjoy the loss, hoping it will help with in-state recruiting, or feel a twinge of sadness because many of the players on their team, like ours, are Iowa kids. O.k., I admit it, I usually come down on the former rather than the latter, mostly because... -
Chiz is done
First, while I'm sure he's a dead duck at AU, the university prez. is being proactive, assuming Chizeldick and the Auburns close the year as predicted. The hammer might not be dropped for a week or two. I suppose if Ga and 'bama were all hit by food poisoning or lightning or something, Geno... -
Texas to pull out the Wishbone on the first play as a tribute Royal
I had to search my memory (no easy task as cluttered as my mind is) to recall that TX and not OU was the first big school to run the wishbone. Long term, I think OU had more success with it. (just checking wikipedia, 'bama, aTm, and AFA all ran the 'bone successfully.) -
Big 12 Expansion
I was most interested in the Fl. State/Clemson rumors last spring/summer. They are good sized public schools with good (Clemson) to legendary (Fl. State) football heritage. But with the ACC re-organizing with the semi-addition of ND and the huge increase in leaving penalties, I think they are... -
Iowa State Daily: Knott Out Saturday
Sucks for Jake big time. As tough and competitive as he is, I can only feebly imagine the mental anguish he must be going thru. On that score, I hope the stories of him being finished are overblown and it would be great to see him out there this evening. On the other hand, he is such a... -
Vanderbilt just beat Missouri and Alabama is next for Missery
I still believe MU's jump to the SEC was a face saving device after spreading their legs to the BIG, only to find the BIG had already decided on uNl. Therefore, to keep up the talking point that they were still wanted, they dove head first into the toughest conference in the country. Talk...- cyingreen

Hyde starting this week?
This is such common fodder in IC the hok fans will forget, win OR lose. Plus, look at the msg. Capt. Kirk sends to the thug community, "Come play with us, guys, we understand the culture. Late night track meets with the cops is what we're all about." (Said with tongue more or less in cheek, as...- cyingreen

TV slot for next week
Well, of course you can drink beer before 9, but it is rather gauche. It might be cool and rainy. Bloody Marys or Hot Rum Toddys might work. Oh, and btw, since we take very young grandkids to the games, we've been looking forward to an 11 am kick. And I can't believe I'm saying that. Tough... -
What we should have learned from KSU - OU
If it's a big enough astroid, it wouldn't actually have to score a direct hit on JTS. :eek: -
And let the "Fire Kirk Ferentz" threads begin...
Yes, the more hysterical my-life-is-tied-to-the-success-of-my-team fans do tend to have inner meltdowns when 'their' team loses. Even more intensely when 'their' team loses a game they were expected to win. Cyclone fans no exception. However, because of the upper-middle level success the uofi...- cyingreen
