    New CyHawk Trophy

    If Legends and Leaders and the Heroes Game are off the mark, I don't know where that puts this. This is a stereotype reinforcement that essentially rubs the collective State of Iowa's face into a steaming pile of pig ****. Whoever signed off on this has no reservations about the series...

    Miller and Deace back?

    They convinced themselves they were above it, but it was the best thing each of them had going for 'em. Matter of time. They will immediately become the best local show in DM again, however, I don't see myself going out of my way for it this time.

    Likelihood of Wins In Order

    Started out that way then combined them. Those three are tough but they don't scare me as much as they maybe should. For the Okie St game the x-factor is going to be Jack Trice Stadium. I could actually see us pulling it off.

    Likelihood of Wins In Order

    If we don't win it's going to be a looong season: 1) UNI 2) KU Roughly a coin toss: 3) UConn 4) K St Show up and chances are we are in it: 5) Tech 6) Iowa 7) Texas 8) Baylor 9) Ok St 10) Mizzou 11) A&M No way, no how: 12) OU Haven't picked the season game-by-game yet, but will likely end...

    CyHawk Trophy Done

    Not following your logic here. I am on the fence in regards to keeping the series. See both sides. Love what the game brings but would also love an easier road to bowl games each year. How exactly would dropping the series make us less relevant compared to Iowa though? The reason I would want...

    Sushi

    1. Miyabi 9 2. Samarai 3. Tokyo (Ankeny) Have not been to Taki but have heard great things. Appare is pretty decent as well. Waterfront I've had good and not so good, but it has a pretty stellar reputation (seems like WDM location trumps Ankeny quality-wise). Mandarin and Junko are the two...

    What brand of beer did you drink in college?

    Keystone Light- #1 go-to for pong and flip Bud Light- Can't stand the crap now but seemed cool at the time Mich Golden- Still love it!

    Cornell Mann arrested for OWI in Dayton, OH Tuesday

    I would can him but that's me. Total irresponsibility considering the position. He doesn't work at a Wells Fargo call center. He should be held to a higher standard. He has done nothing positive at ISU to warrant retaining him. Having said that, I fully support the decision Coach Hoiberg makes...

    Who will be missed more this season: ARob or Arnaud?

    JT and A-Rob without much hesitation. I think whoever starts at QB will have a lower upside and a higher downside than AA, equating to similar overall production. The RB drop-off should not be drastic but we can all agree there will be a drop-off. My answer is based on the lack of a drop-off...

    Who will be missed more this season: ARob or Arnaud?

    I'll take the unpopular answer: A-Rob. AA had leadership, charisma, and will always be a great Cyclone. His stats were pretty decent. However, I think there could've been more delivered from him at the QB position. Especially as a senior. Waiting to be proven wrong, but I believe JT (and...

    Who are you going to root for?

    If one of the two are a win away from the division title, I'm going for the upset. All things equal, I'd rather see Nebraska lose. Reason being, I actually know some respectable Iowa fans. Can't say the same for NU.

    Iowa Soldier Killed

    Devastating news. Thoughts go out to his family, friends and the servicemen he leaves behind.

    Cirque du Soleil - Dralion

    Went to the Thursday show. Good time. Very much up for argument whether it's worth the ticket price, as evidenced by a less than half full arena Wednesday and Thursday. I would not forego watching the NCAA tournament for it, but you will enjoy yourself.

    CBI...Yes or No

    Without a doubt. I would buy a ticket the minute they went on sale. Voluntarily saying no to more basketball in the definition of a rebuilding year makes absolutely no sense. It would be different if we had borderline NCAA talent and underachieved, ala '09-'10.

    Newspaper ad to fire Arkansas basketball coach

    First thing that came to mind! Could have backfired, I guess, if McD saw it and countered with more losing; enough losing to be immovable.

    Matt Perrault done at KXNO?

    Agree here. It's astonishing how sensitive the ISU fan base can be when our butts aren't getting kissed in the media. Have to scapegoat someone to make it right. Matt dished it out to U of I even worse than he ever did to ISU. Granted, they deserved it. Point is, he was balanced with the...

    Will we win again this year?

    We will win one more. Nebraska being the most likely. Unless we get three more (not happening), it will be a historic season; fewest conference Ws since Johnny Orr's first. 30 years ago.

    The Dan McCarney offense..

    I'm going to defend the McCarney ball. At some point you have to play strategy and I had no issue with when Fred decided to do that tonight. I also didn't get the feeling the call was to dribble it out and take a desperation shot in the last five seconds of the shot clock like some are making...

    Re: Okla. State***Official: Iowa State @ postgame thread*** Agree here. Nebraska was anyone's game. This was OURS to give away...aaaaand we did.

    ***Official: Iowa State @ Okla. State postgame thread***

    Good effort on the road, however, this is the most devastating loss of the season. OSU is the definition of average and they did not play well enough to deserve this one.
