    Decided to do a Jack Trice story for Smithsonian magazine

    Hi, @Kagavi- I wrote a piece for Uni Watch about the aesthetic and uniform-related aspects of Iowa State's memorialization of Jack Trice: https://uni-watch.com/2023/10/07/iowa-states-memorialization-of-jack-trice-a-uni-centric-history/ I cited your work heavily in my story. I hope that's all...

    How did you become a Cyclone fan?

    Growing up, I was happy to see Iowa State do well, but wouldn't call myself a big Cyclones fan. I always did enjoy watching Johnny Orr's basketball teams, though, and thought very highly of players like Barry Stevens, Jeff Hornacek, Jeff Grayer, Tom Schafer (Anyone besides me remember him? He...

Obviously, there are plenty...

    Best Iowa High School Basketball Players Ever

    I'll let SouthernHawk or TarHeelHawk or one of the other resident Hawkeye "guests" around here put up a more spirited defense, but I would say that Iowa has actually had a better basketball program than we've had since 1981 (the year that the Mr. Basketball award was first given out in the state...

    Typical Tavern Hawk

    Yeah, the guy sounds like a real jerk... or not! :eek: Seriously, did you even bother to read this article past the first few paragraphs? The guy's a cancer patient who's also a well-respected football coach, a man of strong personal faith, and heavily involved in charity work. And you're...

    Cyclone Basketball Team Histories?

    It's all in the media guide, which you can find online at cyclones.com. It's in PDF format, so it can be a little tricky to navigate from your web browser, but you should be able to find the info you're looking for.

    OU guy grabbed Harvin's ankle. Watch replay.

    I'm glad you gave this its own thread rather than just commenting on it in the main BCS title game thread. :wink:

    Smoltz to Red Sox

    I'm sure if the Yankees wave another quarter of a billion dollars in front of him, they could lure him away from Boston. :wink:

    Petition to ban Hawks from "cyclone" fanatic

    We all have stories about idiot Iowa fans. I have plenty, too. But I also have plenty of stories of good, decent people -- fellow Iowans -- who just happen to root for a different team than I do. If you ever thought about removing that 1000-pound cinder block from your shoulder, you might...

    Petition to ban Hawks from "cyclone" fanatic

    Great. So we should kick out every Iowa fan who posts here just because you don't like what a couple of Hawk trolls have said? I've already addressed that issue earlier in this thread, and I stand by those words: Anyway, back to what you were saying... Why do I suspect those Hawk fans might...

    Petition to ban Hawks from "cyclone" fanatic

    When did TarHeelHawk, SouthernHawk, or DJK say that? I must have missed that thread... :dull:

    Decommit: Ryan Mosby

    There's nothing wrong with Iowa kids. I'd just hate to lose out on a promising out-of-state prospect just for the sake of having more Iowa kids on the roster.

    Shonn Greene's effect on EIU's season

    Funny! :yes: But in fairness to DJK and SouthernHawk, they aren't really the "koolaid drinking" sorts. Both seem to have a reasonably rational perspective on their favorite team. I'm sure it isn't hard to find Iowa fans who fit your assumptions, though.

    Petition to ban Hawks from "cyclone" fanatic

    There's no problem. It's just that it doesn't buy you any additional credibility. You've still only been posting here for what - two days or something? Most of the Hawk posters around here have been at CF for quite a while and have proven themselves to be "good citizens." We may not all...

    Hot off the press, New Coach Announced!!!!

    I totally agree with both of you. I was uneasy with Chizik's cronyism in naming his assistant coaches, but felt like I should give him the benefit of the doubt. Hindsight proves that my lack of enthusiasm over his assistant coach selections was justified. With Rhoads, it seems like he's going...
