    Anchorage, Alaska travel recs

    It would be a long day for the kids, but there is a 26 glacier boat tour out of Whittier which we have done twice! It is about 6 hours long. You can drive there from Anchorage south towards Girdwood and you drive through a tunnel that is used for both cars and trains. There is a lot of stuff...

    2024-25 Big 12 Rosters

    Nallen34, again thanks for keeping this up! I find it fascinating to see how other teams are trying to build rosters for next year. It just shows how good our staff is in this environment!

    We Will Collective contributor numbers

    This isn't aimed at just you, but I get tired of people knocking how much money Iowa State fans donate to athletics. For the 22-23 year per Sportico' s College financial summary https://www.sportico.com/business/commerce/2023/college-sports-finances-database-intercollegiate-1234646029/ Iowa...

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    Mine is a memory and not a nightmare, I showed up and found out it was a 1/2 quarter class and it ended the week before I showed up! I passed out of it my last quarter because it was required to graduate! I know I am old when I talk about quarters.

    Big 12 / Big East Future Series being discussed

    We should get Creighton or Marquette, unless they assume Kansas is going to get better ratings and we get pushed down to play Villanova

    ***Official 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread***

    Arizona with that coach is going to struggle in the Big 12! How can you have a team in foul trouble like Clemson was and just stand out on the perimeter and chunk up 3's, when you are shooting under 25% on those 3's. Drive the basket and get fouled!

    Illinois matchup

    I am a fan of KenPom, and since conference play started we have played only 3 teams with a defensive rating above Illinois. South Dakota State, Oklahoma State, and West Virginia. Our closest comp is Baylor at #6 offense and #69 defense. Everybody except the 2 noted above in the Big 12 metric...

    Illinois matchup

    I think the game against Illinois will be like playing Baylor offense, and the Iowa defense. Play physical like we normally do and we have a really good chance to win this game by double digits.

    Jamie Pollard had us as the last 2 seed in his submission

    I am going to post this and forget it and focus on winning what is in front of this. North Carolina and the 4 2 seeds all had a total of between 10 and 11 quad 3 &4 games this year. Arizona actually had a quad 3 loss. Connecticut and Iowa State had 9 quad 4 games. Does it really matter if some...
