    Rushing the court?

    I think it may have happened when Barry Stevens' shot beat Missouri back in the spring of 1983...not sure because I was in HS and listening on a radio. I don't believe it happened in the mid to late 80s when I was at ISU and I never missed a game...frankly, we went to Hilton expecting to win...

    Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes

    Well, I guess it looks like no one else has read the book. I would strongly encourage you to read it...especially if you are concerned with your health (which includes your weight but is not exclusively about your weight). A few comments directed at some of the previous posts: + Asians...

    Former Cyclone Cory Johnson

    Yeah, I think Oden only went for 20 and 10 playing, basically, with one arm. Jeesh.

    Poisoned trees at Auburn

    Harvey Almorn Updyke...should change his name to Harvey "All-moron" Updyke.

    Poisoned trees at Auburn

    With the ubiquity of security and surveillance cameras these days…both public and private…I will find it hard to believe if they cannot spot the perpetrator of this act on camera.

    Poisoned trees at Auburn

    A couple of things... 1) I know some AU grads. The people at AU knew that their tradition of "rolling" these trees after victories was causing these trees to deteriorate prematurely (this just in for you environmentalists...not even trees live forever)...first because of the chemicals in the...

    Former Cyclone Cory Johnson

    Hey, how about an update on the Dykstra kid?? I'm sure he is tearing it up at some lower level of competition as well. Give me a little Wes Eikmeier while you are at it. And I haven't seen a Mike Taylor update in a while. How about Marcus Brister...what is he up to?

    Greatest State of Iowa Bball team ever Poll

    I played against these guys when they were in their early/mid 40s and I was in my mid 20s...Artis Gilmore is a very large man.

    Only for those that saw "Just Go With It"

    Interesting discussion on Sandler's movies. He has had his share of dogs...Grown Ups was absolutely horrid...unwatchable. But this movie was pretty good. And he has had some other pretty good flicks...especially when he is paired with a solid actor or actress...like Anger Management or The...

    Only for those that saw "Just Go With It"

    Kind of surprised we didn't get more votes on this poll. At any rate, really no "loser" in this question. However, you have to give JA her props for looking like she does at 42...wow.

    Good read on the Texas 2010 disaster season

    A couple of comments: + Texas goes 5-7 and it is a "horrific" season...a "disaster". What do we call 5-7 seasons at ISU? Just some interesting perspective I think. + Brown hired Vinny Cerrato as a consultant...some of you may not know but Vinny played at ISU.

    Simple question.

    Can we bring back the Magic please!

    At the risk of being ridiculed as an "old geezer" that remembers his time at ISU with heavy rose-colored glasses, I offer up the following...and please remember I was there before "it" had the name "Hilton Magic" (back when it really did exist): + No one person or group can be "in charge" of...

    Blum: The lost decade

    Morgan's players "ran wild" and the program was "riddled with transfers" and "unpleaseant headlines" while giving us some "ugly losing streaks"....huh?! I'm not sure how you define "ran wild" but what did players do under Morgan that they did not do under McDermott...trouble with the law...

    Blum: The lost decade

    I don't hate mid-majors...just telling you that there is not one team in that conference truly worthy of being in the NCAA tourney this year.

    Wisc. paper: Marquette not interested in Lucious

    Am I the only one that finds these type of "holier than thou" posts infuriating? Seriously, "win at all costs" insinuates that there is some sort of rule-breaking going on. Do you know that to be the case? I guess I wonder what type of a person you think someone is that gives another person...
