    Improper use of words

    That was very subtle of you CDEKO, as you ended a sentence with a preposition! (As the old joke goes, "Where is it at, ***hole?" to end the sentence with a noun) Very clever indeed to put it in this thread. I always have trouble with effect and affect, but I will try not to let it affect me...

    ........ and I always thought it was "row to hoe." Who knew? Go Cyclones:yes:

    Are you ready, all, for some Freddy Ball?

    I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers. Not at the university level, nor do I want to offend CFH or any of the players. Cyclone Fanatic may be the answer. Are there any universities that sponsor coaches names on their sports apparel? I have heard that players names, initials, likenesses...

    Are you ready, all, for some Freddy Ball?

    Erik, I promise I'm pumped for football seaon too! I just have this wild hair about a "different" kind of ISU basketball sports shirt. I don't know. I can't explain it. I want people to share my enthusiasm for the MBB team and I can't think of a better way to express it. Go Cyclones:yes:

    Are you ready, all, for some Freddy Ball?

    I like the idea. I have an autographed basketball from Fred, but I would have a tough time figuring out how to wear the darn thing. Go Cyclones:yes:

    Are you ready, all, for some Freddy Ball?

    Thanks M. Actually, Hoiball does have a nice ring to it. I suppose, of the two, Freddie probably does look more appropriate. Go Cyclones:yes:

    Are you ready, all, for some Freddy Ball?

    I gotcha. Thank you. Yes, I don't know what is correct and that is why I asked you smart folks. Go Cyclones:yes:

    Sorry M, I'm not following you. I'm a little slow, I think.

    Are you ready, all, for some Freddy Ball?

    Well said. Me either! I think we should get Cyclone Fanatic to design a Freddyball Basketball Shirt and sell it to the masses. Hello, ....... Chris? Go Cyclones:yes:

    Are you ready, all, for some Freddy Ball?

    So anything goes pretty much, as long as I don't sell it? What about putting the player's last names on the back instead of "The road is long......etc? Thanks. Go Cyclones:yes:

    Are you ready, all, for some Freddy Ball?

    Hmmmmmm. I want a Freddyball Shirt real bad! Yeh, it's Friday night, and I have nothing more to do but think about going fishing in the morning,....... then, of course, I go to Cyclone Fanatic and all of the basketball talk has me pumped for the season and seasons to come. I am thinking...

    Basketball Recruiting: BC/Marquette offer Thomas

    Dear Matt, Glad to hear that you are receiving other offers for your basketball talents. It shows how hard you have been working. Fred Hoiberg is the the man to turn to if you want to improve your game. That is all. Go Cyclones :yes:

    ISU offers Jaylen Brantley

    Agreed. Not only is he being productive, this kid has played almost every minute of an 80 game schedule! I guess there would be sometimes when playing such a grueling amount of minutes that I might appear to be a bit tired. This young man can do anything he wants when he wants to. Just my...

    The Arena Pulse: Georges Niang

    I think the comparison of Georges to Kenny P. is fair. Somehow Kenny always seemed to get the ball in the basket. I don't know if it was due to his lower body strength, his positioning, or his footwork, but for his height, he really was effective in the paint. During a time-out, I remember...

    Georges Niang/Nerlens Noel ESPNU televised game.

    Hmmm. Actually, I think the comparison made of Georges to Kenny P is fair. Kenny somehow always seemed to get the ball in the basket. I don't know if it was his lower body strength, his positioning, or his footwork, but somehow he was very effective around the hoop, despite his height. I...

    What's everyone's favorite mixed drink?

    Moscow Mule Get a copper mug, and fill it with ice. A shot and a half of Vodka and finish with Ginger Beer. (You can get the Ginger Beer at Hyvee Liquor stores.) Excellent choice for hot days and nights. Copper mug "sweats" from the cold and keeps the drink cold. Go Cyclones

    Home Theater Equipment

    I concur brianhos. I did the Velodyne thing and the NHT thing, and the Krell thing, all from Audio Video Logic. They really know their stuff out there. And trust me, they can install the $200 dollar stuff and the $95,000 stuff.

    Could one of you good folks help me?

    Does anyone know where to find this replay? I have a nonard brother-in-law from down south, and every time I attempt to explain to him what "Hilton Magic" used to "consist of" ie: floor shaking, standing up for quarters at a time, telecast picture wobbling, radio broadcasters not being able to...

    What will our NCAA tourny seed be next year?

    Do we think that we will be a Top 25 team next year playing the "New Big 12" schedule? If so, I guess that puts us at a 5 to 7 seed. I am as excited as the next guy is about the up-coming season, but I think a Top 25 finish before the tourney, is asking a lot with so much unknown. I will be...

    ***** OFFICIAL SELECTION SUNDAY THREAD *****

    I have to agree. Isn't this the same governing "body" that allowed Cam to play this year?The same body that allowed Ohio State players to play in the bowl game even though they have to sit out next year for a few games?I'm sure we could all add incidents that are similar to these that have...
