    Information/Quotes on "the shot"

    You have got to be kidding me!! The guy had the nerve to insinuate that ISU fans were "cheering against him". He must live in some alternative world because from my chair he was given more benefit of the doubt than about any coach could be for the results he produced...especially in light...

    Information/Quotes on "the shot"

    Something for you to consider... GM is the person directly responsible for this game not being on TV and hence not having any monitor to review. It was his ineptitude at ISU that leads us to this day where our program garners so little respect that TV people assume no one wants to watch ISU...

    *** Official ISU Creighton Post game thread ***

    I am confident of a couple of things... 1) If this game goes into OT, we win by more than 3 points. 2) This will be the closest that a GM coached Creighton team will ever be to a FH coached ISU team going forward...you can take that to the bank. Creighton will be a program moving in reverse...

    Good Interview w/Jeff Hornacek

    I am glad to see we have a few people that have some sense of the history of our MBB program because the utter ignorance of it displayed by some of you is mind-numbing. Prior to JO's arrival we had not seen post season play in over 40 years, we had a doormat of a program that played in a...

    HB: Preseason All-American

    Re: Speaking of things that make you throw up 1) No, he chose other than ISU because McDermott had run the program into ditch as the HC. 2) You are so wrong...JO would have landed Barnes.

    Comparing McCarney and Rhoads

    Yeah, and most of Bobby Knight's ex-players worship him as well...so what!? Wins? McCarney was 56-85 and 27-68 in conference...27 conference wins in 12 years in a very poor Big 12 North. In 7 of his 12 years, McCarney won 1 or fewer conference games. He had a winning conference record only...

    Comparing McCarney and Rhoads

    Actually, it could easily be argued that the conference schedule that Walden and Criner had to face in the Big 8 was much tougher year in and year out than the schedules that McCarney had to face in an embarrassingly weak Big 12 North during his time at ISU. Witness a Big 12 Championship game...

    Comparing McCarney and Rhoads

    I'm not sure where all of this ISU was nothing before McCarney talk comes from but the records show that the percentage of games lost by McCarney in his 12 years at the helm is nearly identical to the percentage of games lost in the prior 12 years (all 4 of Criner and 8 of Walden). The only...

    Observations from this past CFB weekend

    Mark Dantonio > Brian Kelly For those of you that thought that Kelly was the man totally responsible for the last few years at Cincinnati you had better look at what Dantonio has done with Michigan State. Kelly is learning that it was much better to follow a guy at Cinci that was doing a...

    Maybe Paul Rhoads...

    ...will be our Bobby Bowden, our Frank Beamer!?! Clearly it is early in his career but he has been able to pull a significant upset on the road at a perennial power program each of his first two years. He really needs to use these games to catapult us into a position to recruit better players...

    Mack Brown Unbelievable Quotes

    Ha ha ha....this really made me laugh! So, what you are saying, is that Mack Brown is just like most ISU fans...just go look at MBB last year...a very large percentage of our fan base put all of the blame on our players and some were even still trying to put blame on Wayne Morgan...everyone...

    I'm sorry to say it, but there needs to be some questions on Herman as OC

    I totally agree. You need a QB that can make good quick decisions and get rid of the ball and skill guys that can do something with it in space once they get it (ie: guys that have speed and quickness).

    I'm sorry to say it, but there needs to be some questions on Herman as OC

    I would say questions are warranted on both sides of the ball. Our offense has been inept for the most part but our defense has been equally inept against the quality opponents we have played.

    Team update

    I'm dubious of all of these "experts" that have been to practice. I seem to remember similar postings a few years ago that were proclaiming how great we would be if not for the NCAA screwing us by not letting Lucca Staiger play. We all know how that worked out...don't we?!

    Ben Bruns: Mission Statement

    Yes it was...back then the power programs could hoard top players much more easily than they can with today's scholarship limitations.

    Ben Bruns: Mission Statement

    Absolutely. For starters, simply the hiring of Orr brought both an instant buzz and instant credibility to our MBB program. The man had been one of the best coaches (had coached Michigan teams deep into the tournament including a two Elite Eights and a Championship game in 1976) in one of the...

    Ben Bruns: Mission Statement

    Bruns loves Iowa State and is probably a nice guy (I don't know the man). For the record, I love Iowa State and I am a nice guy. However, his blog reminds me of many things that frustrate me about the attitudes of many Cyclone fans: "no one thought preseason that we would win that game" -...

    Interesting Story on Floyd when he was at USC

    Sounds like you think ole Timmy is pure as the wind driven snow?! This just in...he is not! By the way, do you know that he has never coached a team past the Sweet 16? Never.

    Great read about Agents and College players

    Great read. This article will definitely have legs. The guy was interviewed on ESPN radio last night and it will be in SI. You know this is happening everywhere...everywhere there are pro prospects. I especially find the tie-in with Mel Kiper Jr. to be interesting. You would hope that most...
