Should we drop Iowa?
This arrangement is patently unfair to ISU students. If the universities get to host the game every 4 years, uofi students will get to see two home games against ISU. While ISU students will only get one chance to see an uofi-isu home game. Frivolity aside, those who want to abolish the series... -
LB Adrian Bennett leaving team...
The "Next Man In" mentality if fine, but that doesn't work if there are no more men to go in. Losing a player on the two deeps at any position hurts. The young man obviously had some talent or he wouldn't be on the depth chart at all. I do always wonder about a player who takes a red shirt... -
Niang story
His comments about the way Fred recruited him is exactly how I would envision Hoiberg's recruiting style. Honest and direct on the heels of establishing rapport with the young man. I look forward to seeing the young man in a Cyclone uniform. Great story, btw.- cyingreen

Breaking: Percy Gibson is a Cyclone
Ah, I can see the uofi fans saying, "we didn't really want him anyway. He MIGHT be gray team matieral at best." A very good addition to a team that needs some help close to the basket. I agree it still remains to be seen whether he offsets the loss of Godfrey. He sure has the right...- cyingreen

Driver in Fatal Altoona Crash Faces Competency Hearing
If the young man is doing college level work, at Iowa Central Community College, he must have something on the ball mentally. To say he doesn't understand the gravity of the charges against him sounds like the public defender looking for anyway out and being aided by a psychiatrist. I'd be... -
FOOTBALL RECRUITING: JUCO DT Henry Simon commits
This. Especially as DT is supposedly one of the harder positions for which to recruit. But I'm not complaining. The young man has the size to play the position, let Wally coach him up and I'm willing to sit back and see some disrupted plays by the opposing offense. -
Are you happy being in the Big 12?
I never believed the talk about super conferences and don't now. Which is why I find the aTm and Mizzou to the SEC talk a bit far fetched. Once you get past the 12 team minumum for a football playoff, more teams would be a scheduling headache, imho. I think the Really Big 10 (the Big XII's new...- cyingreen

coach paul rhoads
The first requirement of winning is the coach and his staff. The right coach convinces talented recruits who might not otherwise consider our school to come here. Get enough of those talented recruits and winning becomes easier and routine. Along with that comes more demand for tickets, more... -
KXNO Drive
CyBobby speaks the truth. The Big XII will be Nowhere'sVille anywhere north of Missouri-Kansas, media wise, unless ISU starts winning bigtime. Or we get Notre Dame to join the conference. -
Kyle Boyd switches to Baylor
Wow!! 9 pages of back and forth about the meaning of the word 'commitment.' I have two solutions, well, one that would really solve the problem, one just in case the real problem solver is disallowed. The Real Solution: Have coaches carry letters of intent with them on recruiting trips. If the... -
My Sleeper recruit - just went bye bye.....
BLAST!!!! Another wasted $20 on the Gridiron Club's recruiting party. :mad: -
Bo Williams Transfering
O.k., o.k., enough with the spelling jokes and insinuations of the young man's intelligence. When he came here, I for one had high hopes for him. For whatever reason, it didn't work out. Assuming he tried his best, we should merely wish him well and a satisfying end to his athletic career... -

Ferentz Dismisses Robinson
If I were Robinson and loved the hawks, and that crazy, fun i c scene, I wouldn't give up my dream of playing for them again. I'd arm myself with Pell grants or whatever, stay in school, keep my grades up, then wait for running back injuries to make "permanent" into "temporary." works for...- cyingreen

Montell Marion Reinstated to Hawkeyes
Ah, if memory serves me correctly, isn't this exactly the same excuse that Pinkel and Missouri used when they called off the games against the hawkeyes: We're too young to go up against a veteran program like the uofi? And haven't the hawk fans beat MU up unmercifully for years because of it...- cyingreen

Second teir announcers
The announcers were fair and balanced I thought. They gave us as much respect as they made excuses for the Cavs situation, i.e., being behind on their home floor to a team unanimously picked for dead last in the Big XII. But it was extremely fortunate that they were TV and not radio...- cyingreen

Neb MBB last yr: 12-3 then 2-14 conference
O.K., we will probably not be able to continue the kind winning percentage in conference play that we've had up to this point. Our lack of strength in the middle will be hard to hide in conference games, plus by definition half the conference games will be on the road, and we all know what...- cyingreen

Next years QB situation
I was following the speculation about who might or not be our QB next year. Suddenly, I was in the Hilton parking lot, with a warm September sun and no snow in sight, in my folding I-STATE chair, with a cold glass of my favorite, the grill fired up with burgers getting done, munchies on the...
