Cyclones on Wikipedia

sdillon500 · 03-22-2007, 03:53 PM

This might seem trivial, but has anyone visited the Cyclone's athletic page on Wikipedia lately? Pretty poor. Check out our rivals on the river for comparison. I don't want to judge everything that ISU has by Hawkeye standards, but c'mon. Someone with the knowledge of Cyclone football history could put together a decent entry.

It is being worked on, just let me know what you want to see up there, I have added all-conference basketball players and the new coaching staff

If you could take out the loss to Hampton in the tourney that would be great dude. Also put something in there about having a very loyal fanbase that is nationally envied. Might as well make it a marketing piece for the university.

the prob with that site is that hawk fans can go to it and mess it all up

Do people put anythign on there about recruits?? Maybe mention Garrett and Brackins on there with their national rankings.. Let them, and other recruits know we care, and are proud of them. Giveth recruits love and ye shall recieve.

I think we need written history up there. All we have is charts, and I believe that is needs something that can be read.

No offense, but Cringer writes better than that. I have no idea what you're saying.

Yeah, Cringer can really write a good romantic novel. They get a little too descriptive at times but he can really paint the picture in your mind.

I'd like to see a written history. Not many people outside of the ISU faithful know about the contributions Pop Warner, Earl Bruce & Dan McCarney have made to the program. A section about the legendary Pete Taylor would be great, with a link to that Rushin article in SI a few years ago (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ins...d_space_0317/).

And of course write ups about the great skill players throughout the years. The Davis brothers, Jack Trice, Marv Seiler, Sage Rosenfels, Seneca Wallace and Ennis Haywood all deserve recognition.

I did quite a bit of work on the wiki site for football and basketball, check it out, let me know what you think and what is missing, I am still gonna work on it here and there, I need to finish the Johnny Orr Era part for basketball.

Peace!

Very nice sdsmith4! I like it. I added a link to this site. Is that OK?

I wrote a table for the 2007 schedule to replace the bullet points there were there before.

On a side note, I discovered that Colorado's school colors are silver and gold! They were chosen because Colorado is rich in precious minerals. Black isn't an official color, not even an "official" accent color- they simply started using it after they realized that silver and gold didn't look good together on uniforms. You learn something new every day...

on next years football schedule the battle for the telephone trophy is against missouri, not k-state. otherwise it looks great.

I'm not sure what you're saying. The Telephone Trophy is the matchup between Iowa State and Mizzou, and that's also what the schedule says. I don't think there's anything incorrect there...
