    Dear Houston

    Kansas is built like your typical top Big 10 teams most years. They have a big dominant center that can't/won't guard or move well, with a good cast around him. Seth still believes the Big 10 plodder model is good basketball, even though it hasn't been competitive in the tournament for over a...

    I think Hunter would have continued to develop with Chris Beard. That has not and is not going to happen under Rodney Terry. As was mentioned above, he needs to get out of there.

    RECRUITING: '25 quarterback Alex Manske gives recruitment update

    Welcome to Iowa State Alex. As you already know, There is no other place like it. I am sure this is a happy day for you and your family too. To make some of you feel better about your ages, I was in sports with Alex' grandfather and great uncles, as well as Jack's grandfather. If I had to...

    *** Official Kansas State vs #23 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Heck, I don't even know what the wife was saying when she whooshes by telling me what I need to be doing. So don't tell me some managers are feeding KSU supersecrets while running a mop in a noisy and loud gym. Pure paranoia it would seem to me. Also, most people see others as they actually...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    I don't drive through a parking lot at full speed even though I could, and even though someone or someone is not supposed to be "there." Sometimes they are and have ran out or pulled out in front of me. Even when that should not happen, it is still on me to make prudent decisions. CC did not...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Where do they get their acting instructors at EIU. While not quite as bad, it reminded me of the Ryan Kriener flailing for a call from a few years back (maybe five). That had to be the worst acting job ever, if anyone can find it again.

    I hope she had a State Farm policy for an accident like that. Absolute Mahem.

    2024-25 ISU FB Early Predictions and Offseason Discussion

    Our record and success next year depend on us getting or developing (Questionable) a solid place kicker. Chase, was Godsend this year. Most years I have traditionaly watched ISU lose at least two games per years due to kicking woes and misses. It was an amazing, and dare I say even comforting...

    *** Official Oklahoma State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    When people ask about Omaha, just tell them to look at OSU. They have very good players that are Young and Inexperienced, and you see the struggles they are having. Second, remember it is better to bring a player on a little bit late than it is to do it too early and hurt their development...

    *** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    If I counted correctly, Fran has seven top ten victories during his tenure at Iowa. Now to be fair, he doesn't get as many opportunities to notch top ten wins in such poor basketball conference.

    *** WBB: Gamethread - Iowa State vs. Kansas 6:30 pm ESPN+ ****

    Does anyone else think that Audi rushed many of her shots a bit tonight? They seemed to not be as soft off the board as usual to me. I can understand it though because she was going against the 6'6" gal. If anyone gets the chance to see the game again, watch Jodi Steyer's reactions on the bench...

    Soldier Salute?

    Time for interim AD Beth Goetz to put on her muck boots again and bring AJ and Tommy Brands into her office. Then, tell AJ he is done at Iowa and get ready to hightail it out of town and transfer again. If he hurries he can get into his next school by semester start-up. If he doesn't like it...

    What do people do in iowa in November?

    If you want a drive to get into the Christmas spirit, the Algona Nativity Scene typically opens up after Thanksgiving until New Year's. They also have the Ag and Motorsports museum at the fairgrounds open on the weekends, plus the POW museum uptown. Both of those are open until January I...

    Maybe he meant to say China's team. They are known to steal things that they can not figure out.

    Dishwasher leaking under flooring

    There is a filter in your dishwasher that can get plugged. If it is plugged, water will pool in the bottom and can leak onto the floor below the dishwasher. It should be easy to find and clean. Ours got a paper towel that plugged the filter mesh and slowed the dishwasher from draining and...

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    As a friend and I discussed earlier tonight: are other underage college students being investigated? Have any officials been investigated? Any other insiders investigated? Until we hear otherwiswe, this appears to be a targeted sting against athletes for the sake of a "feather in the cap" of the...

    Conference Schedules Post Realignment

    Just be careful giving, say a West Virginia, an annual rival in all of the hotbeds of recruiting like Texas, Forida, and Ohio. Meanwhile ISU, KU, and KSU have only midwest and not so hot annual recruiting rivals. That said, I do not have a best answer and will miss the traditional rivalries.

    Basketball Tournament Format

    Now, we must try to be inclusive to all of our new brethern. Even though they don't understand how big of a deal this has been in KC. Also, it may be good to expand our footprint a bit for recruiting. Is there a way to have the bottom four to eight teams play in another city on Monday and...

    Never Saw That Coming...Basketball

    Naz is a great story. I could see that he was not going to be a point guard that Freshman year and would need to become a shooting guard instead, and darned if he didn't do just that. Not to mention a beloved shooting guard as well. Especially after hid buzzer beater in Hilton against OSU. True...

    Never Saw That Coming...Basketball

    As the antithesis to another thread: Name three Cyclone basketball greats to come out of nowhere and do way more than you ever expected at some point in their careers. To get it started I will go with 1. Senior year LaFester Rhodes... Don't tell me you saw that coming. 2. Jeff Hornacek...
