    The only thing that's been able to stop running back Beau Blankenship is a tractor.

    A few weeks before his freshman year at North High School in Norman, Okla., Blankenship parked a tractor on a hill. Once Blankenship, who verbally committed to Iowa State Friday, got off the tractor, it started rolling toward a pond.

    Awesome. I have a really good feeling about this kid. Seems like he is genuinely dedicated and a hard worker. Might already have the mental tools to play at the next level.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see a kid like this playing football on Sundays.
    Kinnick smells like syrup.

    My nickname is catching on...
    Cyclone
    Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
    'Struck by a Cyclone
    It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'

    Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.

    ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."

    I am pumped about this Beau guy. I think he will be phenomenal with his attitude and hyped skill set. I love the fact he hits the field hard.
