    Huge get in my book!!! Anybody who can/does excel at the defensive end can infect the whole team with that mindset. There will be days when even the best offensive teams have a bad night, but defense is a constant that can be the great equalizer!! Just ask Baylor

    Big 12 Jobs Ranked by Podcast

    I put ISU on top of the second tier because of us, the best fans in the country, and because of JP, the best AD on the planet!!!! Give us 5 yrs. and we'll be in the top 3. I know finances are tight now and will be for probably at least a decade, but I would love to see us reinstate baseball as...

    It drove the media crazy

    I am not a big BU fan, there whole athletic dept. lack morals and standards, IMO. At least they brought home a championship for the Big12!!

    Pollard Agrees to Extension at ISU

    Everyday is a good day to be a Cyclone, but this one just got a whole lot better. We just retained one of the top 5 AD's in the nation, not to keep him from leaving, but because this is truly where he wants to be, a part of: CYCLONE NATION!!!!!!!!!!

    MLB: Who’s the greatest hitter of all time?

    Initially, I thought of Ted Williams, as did most of the poll responders. He did things no one will probably ever rival. Obviously, I never got to see a game back then. Was pitching close to comparable? How strict were official scorers, and was the official scoring system similar to today's...

    Vegas Trip

    The wife and I are planning on going and staying in Vegas. The wife's not a gambler, but LV has become a lot more tourist/family friendly, IMO, and she will love the shows. I've got an old HS buddy that has lived there for the last 20 yrs. and he wants us to stay with them, but I like the idea...

    CIML News: Looks Like The Suburban Conference Thing Is Happening Faster Than I expected

    Ames suffers the same problems as the other non-suburban schools in that there is no neighboring population rich areas that can/will spill over eventually. Ames still has it's share of stand-out athletes, but not the numbers that supply the depth necessary to maintain athletic excellence year in...

    ISU Season paused indefinitely.

    Does anyone know if there's any discussion about extra eligibility for bb players that miss the majority of their season?

    For NFL die hards, would you accept Coach Campbell leaving for your team?

    Not even if it meant 10 Super Bowls in a row. I like the pros, but I LOVE ISU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    JTS Improvements - Want More

    We could probably use a retractable dome connected by an enclosed skywalk to an enlarged Ames International Airport, (what DM has one), with moving sidewalks, cafes, and bars...

    The last time you took a loss this hard

    I expected and saw a much better 2nd half. This is still relatively new territory for all, (players, coaches, and fans), and there will still be growing pains. We still have a great chance to put a great big bow on this season. One of the things I've always longed to see was us in a New Year's...

    How Bad is ReCe DaViS?

    I remember when KU played their way out of the cellar for a couple of years, almost going undefeated, and ESPN couldn't quit gushing about what a miraculous turnaround it was. We used to fight the Left Coast-Right Coast mentality back in the day, and now it's just conference biases and flat out...

    OU improved, what about ISU

    I agree that both teams have improved dramatically, especially at the QB position. Ever since Brock's 3 int. first half, he has made great strides in his execution and decision-making. He's running the ball much more and going down when he needs to. His completion percentages are amazing!! Only...

    How good can this team be?

    I'm always the optimist, and we have a very good nucleus, IMO. If these guys stay healthy, and we don't miss a lot of the season with Coved cancelations, I think they have a great deal of potential. I also think out pandemic protocols and the area of the country we're in, puts us in a better...

    Breece Hall and Troy Davis Impressions

    I'd have to disagree, and I was there for every game TD played. Troy didn't have near the supporting cast, yet still had back to back 2k seasons. He's was kinda like Derrick Henry is now. Everyone knew who's getting the rock, but there ain't much they could do about it!! Troy got overlooked for...

    Malik Verdon Commits

    There's a lot better chance for success if they're available, and CMC isn't tied to the age/experience thing. He knows you play how you practice. If you play hard and smart and with consistency, you'll get your chance no matter how long you've been here, (see Mike Rose).

    Official College Football Power Rankings Week 11

    B10 with 3 in the top 11, I don't think that will last. While BYU does have an impressive record, who have they played? In a perfect world, we win the Big12 and get a shot for revenge with ND in a New Year's Day game!!!!!! One game at time... BRING ON KSU !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Breece Hall for Heisman

    But their announcers are always berating the Big12's defenses!?
