    Big 12/MWC merger talk "picking up steam"

    Love this idea. Best case scenario for ISU outside of joining the Big 10.

    New CA t-shirts

    Same line of thinking as "Mad Again". Putting the cart before the horse.

    Loudest Moment in JTS

    2005 Iowa or 2005 CU. I would have to lean toward CU since the game was on the line at the end and those returns by Paris and Big Play were so clutch. Plus the tornado factor added a very unique and electric feel to the game. Although the Lamarcus Hicks pick-6 vs Iowa was definitely an insane...

    Cyclone Alley

    I thought it was a nice fit given the joke of a program we had under GM. I was kind of hoping the players would eventually start joining in since playing competitive basketball was a lost cause.

    Opinion of GMac now that he's gone

    The four years at ISU will not be a fond memory for him, nor will he be a fond memory of mine. I was one to wish all of the transfers under his watch the best of luck. Can't say the same about the root of the problem leaving.

    Are you buying season tickets for next season?

    I was 100% not renewing until Sunday night. Now the chances are a lot greater. Although The Mayor wasn't my first choice (or even in my top 10), I will support the hire and give the guy a reasonable amount of time to fix the the four year error that preceded him.

    ABC 5: Hoiberg - Done Deal

    Disappointing. I'd rate this hire at about a 3 out of 10 on the surface. Better than 1 out of 10 we had but, wow, we could have done better.

    Good ISU Candidate List

    Solid list. No names like Otz or Nurse but also no mention of the Bruce Pearls or Jay Wrights. Attainable and realistic candidates that would be welcomed by the majority of the fan base.

    McD accepts per DMR

    No kidding. I'm going to assume it was a overboard attempt at sarcasm. Or Hawk fans.

    Greater blessing for ISU, Chizik to Auburn or McDermott to Creighton

    McD to Creighton is more of a break. Chizik might have had success here, we can speculate but no one will know for sure. With Greg, we can agree that the success wasn't coming. We just had our hands tied and Creighton thankfully set us free. The only way it turns out the other way is if JP...

    A Tribute to Mac

    Because he's from Iowa. And he bleeds Purple and Gold, which is similar to Cardinal and Gold.

    One key I am focusing on...

    Agree with this. I won't lose any sleep seeing an assistant or a couple recruits go with a coaching change. If we kept Otz it would feel like trying to resist starting completely over. I don't think any successful hire would want to be force-fed leftovers after accepting the position.

    Action 3 News in Omaha reporting that McDermott to Creighton

    Thanks, Greg for letting go of the hostage (ISU hoops) and ending this situation with everyone's best interests in mind.

    University Plains

    Stay away. Shady management. I was expecting to get a bill for maybe $20 or $40 tops in move out costs for wear and tear after living there two years. Nope. Got one for $400 (per roommate, so actually $1600) saying basically all facets of the apartment were to be charged the maximum level for...

    McDermott Guaranteed 2-3 more years?

    Makes complete sense. The time to get rid of him was 6 weeks ago. Everyone including JP knows best case scenario next year we'll be 10th in the conference standings. I would bet the house on 12th. By not firing Greg at this juncture it seems logical that he would have a job at least two more...

    Who has writen a letter or email to Pollard?

    I wasn't aware the terms 'candid' and 'private' were synonymous. In this case they were not if that helps.

    Who has writen a letter or email to Pollard?

    You lost me. I am complimenting the man if that wasn't apparent.
