    ***OFFICIAL ISU vs UNI MBB THREAD ***

    Just got home. A few impressions of mine. We missed at least 3 uncontested layups tonight and probably 5-6 in total though the remainder were contested. Royce will be "flopped" on all year, and tonight we couldn't afford to lose ANY possessions. I had the feeling tonight that UNI "didn't mind"...

    ***OFFICIAL ISU vs UNI MBB THREAD ***

    I am not without some trepidation. Half court "slow down" offensive play drives me crazy and UNI is well coached. I'm ready for some more FreddyBall! GO CYCLONES:yes:

    It’s painfully obvious, though, how happy I am here. This is different from other job

    Why are we fumbling the football at such a rate?

    This is where I was going when I started the thread. I am sure there are multiple factors at work. Defenses are emphasizing the "strip" drill and the "punch-out" maneuver. We have garnered our share of fumbles from these tactics. I can understand when we lose the ball on an exchange, but losing...

    Why are we fumbling the football at such a rate?

    Yes Bawbie, I looked this up too before I started the thread. 2003 comes as close to this year (with 23), and on average since 2002 we are at 17 fumbles per year. This year we are currently at 26 with two games remaining. I had some difficulty getting stats previous to 2000, but I will wager...

    Why are we fumbling the football at such a rate?

    Many of you know me. I am a huge Cyclone fan. I do not believe in calling out players or coaches. It serves no purpose. These young men sacrifice a lot to play a game that they love for ISU. I am curious as to your thoughts regarding the frequency with which we are putting the ball on the...

    What happened to Chris Allen?

    AGREED. I wish just once, JUST ONCE, I had the ability to get certain peoples' addresses, (YES, WHERE THEY LIVE) and I would forward this information along to the person with whom they have a problem and let the poster and the person being "impugned" face each other, and let them discuss their...

    Oct 31st Call-In Shows Notes

    Awwwww, come on B, for the most part, the content was uplifting and nearly everyone was happy. Some of the shows recently (like the previous four weeks) were tough on the stomach! GO CYCLONES:yes:

    Oct 31st Call-In Shows Notes

    Thank you for the summary. The radio is in another room outside of my office and I could have sworn that Jamie said something about 12 ............ TWELVE teams in the league. Did I hear this correctly or did I have an audio hiccup?? GO CYCLONES

    Time to win another poll (vote for Ejim)

    Hmmmmmmm. Had to laugh when after casting my vote it said ........ "fetching results." When you get older, like me, it doesn't take much to get tickled. GO CYCLONES:yes:

    Naz Long Commits

    Hmmmmmmm. I guess my first response would be that you have to make hay when you can make hay. I think Naz is a "team first" guy, and that he has a considerable ceiling, if you will. I wonder why his "rating" is kinda' low, 83 I think? In Fred we trust. GO CYCLONES:yes:

    Royce White playing point forward

    I would contend that it will be important for Royce to be able to dribble with either hand equally well. Otherwise, he will be doubleteamed late and his "off hand" will be attacked and pushed away from the direction in which he feels comfortable dribbling. Hey, whatever Fred thinks is best...

    Hmmmmm. Georges appears to have curtailed some of his rah rahing for NWC of late (asking folks at ISU to twitter NWC.) I am going to assume that Georges knows something. Just my opinion of course. GO CYCLONES:yes:
