    Returning to Ames

    I think that Erik was right when he stated that they didn't want any announcement of their return. The players were obviously VERY tired from the flight and the bus ride. I had just hoped there would be more than less than a smattering of people there to greet them. If people have an...

    Returning to Ames

    We will have to agree to disagree. While I share your disdain for the lack of an official announcement for their return, it would not seem to be out of the realm of possibility that more than a dozen people be present. I didn't expect 2-3000 people to be there. But I didn't expect there to be...

    Returning to Ames

    I suspect there WILL be an official celebration for the teams' accomplishments. You will not change my mind. A spontaneous show of support, in my mind, is just as important as showing up for a planned event. As to your point about "digging to find the information" you would have had to dig...

    Returning to Ames

    Erik, I have no quibble with the point you are making. The point I am making is that whether official or not, there should have been more than 10 people there don't you think? Two minutes before the bus pulled in to Sukup, there were 3, count 'em, one, two, three people there to greet the bus...

    Returning to Ames

    I drove up from Des Moines around 2:00ish. The team got back to Sukup about 2:45. There was a crowd. I would have estimated it to be around 10 maybe 12 people. There were a few blue hairs present (I was one of the blue hairs, or more accurately, NO hairs) and there were 5 or 6 people there that...

    Do you know the stats?

    I heard that in the last 5 games, the last 5 minutes the Cyclones are shooting like 85% and in the 80's at the free throw line and some crazy percentage from three. Does anyone have those statistics at the ready? Thank you. GO CYCLONES

    Iowa state thanks the fans

    I'm with you Erik. VERY classy. What a terrific message from the team and from the University. It isn't difficult to say thank you, when the opportunity presents itself.... and yet it isn't always done. I'm really proud of this production. GO CYCLONES

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    Yea, JK, I'm not disputing that........... it's just interesting to see how the "gamble" has paid off. Hindsight is 20/20 but that is why looking at the comments of four years ago, is so interesting. Many people said, more or less, that we would "know" 4-5 years down the road........... and now...

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    Do not despair young padawan......... it is easy to confuse dates in a thread. The idea of the thread was to revisit it EVERY year after March Madness. We could then discuss the previous season.......... There does, however, seem to be fewer Hawkeye's willing to engage in the conversation. GO...

    Marvin Clark

    Hmmmmmm. Well,...... all Fred would have to do is show him film of Kane this year. Compare his stats from his previous life to the life of a Cyclone. Is it that outlandish an idea? GO CYCLONES

    lack of depth, age - shows on road

    Tyrus McGee really "spoiled" us. The national 3 point shooting percentage (according to statsheet.com) thus far this year is 33.46 percent, or roughly one in three. Tyrus shot 46.3 percent his last year, or roughly one in two attempts. I'd say we miss that guy a little bit. :twitcy: As...

    Team MVP vs POY

    Hmmmmm. While I clearly respect your opinion, I think the team MVP is Georges. I can think of at least 3 games in the last several minutes that we don't win with out him. The offense runs through Georges. Just my opinion, of course. GO CYCLONES
