    Could Cael come back to ISU someday?

    I'd take him back in a heartbeat. Everybody deserves to make one big mistake in their life, and going to PSU is his.

    Would you support bringing Dan Gable back to ISU?

    Bobby Douglas couldn't produce when he was the head coach. Why even think about bringing him back now? Would LOVE to see Gable, though. We made the huge error back in the 70s when Harold Nichols wanted to keep coaching, and we couldn't find a "place" for Gable.

    What shocked me the most...

    He very likely did give ISU that chance...from news reports, he and Pollard had been talking about the PSU offer for the past week. I just don't think ISU has the money to counter that kind of an offer.

    Why is Pollard a bad AD?

    Remember, too, that the current President of Penn State is an Iowa State alum - Graham Spanier. He was here in the late 1960s, and certainly saw ISU wrestling at its peak. Not that this has anything to do with Cael's leaving...just an interesting point.

    How did you become a Cyclone fan?

    Almost my entire family was Hawkeye. Had an uncle who was an All Big Ten quarterback at Iowa in the 1920s. My dad got his Masters there. My cousin - and very good friend - is a Professor of Environmental Engineering there. I had to buck the trend. Went to Iowa State (first since my...

    Why was Wayne Morgan fired?

    Let's give Coach McDermott another year. I think he's got the makings for getting this program back on the upswing. With all due respect to Morgan, he was not a head coach. Witness his previous one year as a head coach in California.

    Hall of Fame

    Back to Warner. I think he's in...maybe not first ballot, but definitely in. And I hope he returns to Arizona for next season.

    Hall of Fame

    So, did Kurt Warner secure his place in the NFL Hall of Fame with today's performance? I think he did a great job. While he may not have secured his place, he certainly improved his odds!

    From Rhoads Himself

    Let Coach Rhoads do what he's going to do at his pace. Several on this thread have said the same thing in so many words. With one little blip (Price), I think he's done a great job assembling a staff. Our offensive coordinator is top notch. And Rhoads is right - right now he and the staff...

    Vizio HDTV

    I've got both a 42 inch Vizio and a 26 inch Vizio. I think this is the best HDTV for the buck by far.

    Gosh, I hope we get this kid.

    Terry Price Hired as Ole Miss D-Line Coach

    Let him go. He obviously didn't want to be here, and would have left sooner rather than later anyway. Next?

    Vacation Suggestions Where to Go?

    Forget the beaches. Go to Scottsdale. No hurricane threats. October is one of the best times to be in the desert. There are plenty of great resorts with nice pools. And for sports, you can go to Arizona Fall League baseball games for $6, and see the top major league prospects play...

    Congratulations! Enjoy each and every day, because they grow up and move away much too soon.

    Does Kurt Warner Make It...

    He makes it. Maybe not on the first ballot, but he's got the credentials and should get in.

    Butler to K-State

    Snyder will not succeed this time at K-State. You can't go back! Ask Johnny Majors when he went back to Pitt for the second go-around. Just doesn't work. (Admit that some of this is wishful thinking, too)

    Christensen gone per ESPN

    I hope Jake has success wherever he goes...just so it's not a Big 12 North team. He handled last season with a lot of class.
