    Different styles of coaches

    Have enjoyed observing the different styles of coaching on tv this week between CFH, Fran, and Huggins, and the differing trajectories their teams seem to be heading. The always volatile Hawkeye coach has toned down his on court outbursts over the always present bad or questionable calls, but...

    Prayers for a cyclone supporter

    It was announced at church this morning that Ernie Allen (Allen Lazard's grandfather) is hanging on to life at our local hospice, trying to spare the family the memory of passing on Xmas day. Prayers for Ernie and his family. Ernie shared with me his pride in Allen and all his...

    Difference between Fred and Fran

    Great win over a good big 10 team Friday night, but a problem I think Fran has that he has yet to figure out is who on his so-called deep roster to have on the court during critical moments and how to distribute those minutes to maximize victories. Fred seems to have this figured out-- whether...

    Great Basketball Tip Off Banquet at Lincoln Valley

    I thoroughly enjoyed the 33rd annual tipoff basketball banquet last night at sold out Lincoln Valley in State Center! You cyclone fanatic fans not able to attend missed out on a classic reunion of coach Johnny Orr, Romy, and daughter Becky, with many old longtime friends and coach Fred Hoiberg...

    More recognition for WM coach Ken Winkler

    Props to West Marshall football coach Ken Winkler for being nominated for USA's best high school coach. He is up against some other good old coaches such as Pezzetti, Swenson, Tighe, Bladt, etc., but one thing Winkler can point out is that he has three former players on this year's team and one...

    Lights on University Blvd

    While sitting in the grass lot by Hilton listening to the post game wrap up on the radio, we wondered why the street lights on University Blvd kept going off and then after a couple of minutes, come back on. Looks like this would clearly be a safety issue with all the vehicles trying to leave...

    Poor officiating

    I was surprised no one has commented on how poorly the head linesman managed the clock in the closing minute of the first half of the Tulsa game. Even the TV guys mentioned that the clock was running several times when ISU had made a first down and the clock should have been stopped to reset...

    Suggestions for next 7 hour tailgate in 100 degree temps

    I wish the university would have a water hydrant or at least crack a fire hydrant for cooling off made available for the hundreds of us poor people tailgating on the pavement or parched grass around Hilton. I had a small water bladder used for showers and washing up while camping that became...

    High light of tailgating afternoon

    Did anyone see the tent/canopy takeoff in that freak gust of wind that acted like a dust devil around 2pm in B6? It must have risen to at least 75 feet in the air and looked like a skydiver coming down! I can see some of our intrepid aerospace engineering students trying to duplicate this...

    State Center Connection

    Nice article in today's Marshalltown TR (TimesRepublican.com | News, Sports, Jobs, Community info - Times Republican) about all the football players little West Marshall has on the current team. Great tribute to the efforts and dedication of long time, two time state title winner, Ken Winkler...
