I am fairly confident in the volleyball. ISU is much stronger program, they will want revenge and it is opposite schedule so next year should be in Ames as this year was in Iowa City.

Pollard throwing some shade at local sports media.


Article was posted last night at 643pm and included 20 photos from the game. if he's talking print articles, he needs to move on into the digital age. Who still gets a paper copy of the Register/AmesTrib?

There was no story (not even digital) by the Trib/DMR. Just a gallery by a Trib photog with some of the worst captions I've ever seen.

I care about softball.

I do as well.

I just mean this Cy Hawk challenge thing.

Pretty clear after being dropped from AAU that we are not on the same level as U of I. Just disheartneing to have some fake competition that will seem really stupid given the level each schools' AD will be on in 10 years.

In terms of academics? We have much better engineering, and we have Ag and Design colleges, which they don’t have. We also arguably have a better College of Business now. Losing AAU status is bad, but Iowa State has a lot to offer.

Got pretty excited to see Gabe in the picture, as it makes me think he will definitely be coming back. However, then I saw George Conditt and now I have no idea what is happening.
George is back to finish up school and graduate - he is in the same major program as my daughter. They talked at the softball game and that is what he told her.

AAU is greatly skewed toward Medical schools and against Ag schools. They don't even count any research in Ag as research at all. That is two strikes against ISU in staying in AAU. It is actually pretty impressive that despite those strikes tipping the scales ISU was able to stay AAU for over half a century.

But maybe after you get done throwing your hissy fit and calm down, you will educate yourself on the issue.

Thank you. Saved me from having to post the same thing. Enough with the AAU angst already...

All I really care about is Football, M bball and Wrestling and to a way lesser degree W bball, though that has been growing on me lately. I could care less about the rest. But congrats on winning the Cy-Hawk Corn Series trophy.

OK, so now you are calling me a grumpy old man? :confused:

I neither confirm nor deny that this is true. ;)

I couldn't place it so I had to look it up. It was familiar though...
