    Good News for Runners: ISU Prof Highlighted in NY Times Article

    Interesting NYT article on a study co-authored by Iowa State professor. Basically says running is the best excercise for extending life expectancy. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/12/well/move/an-hour-of-running-may-add-seven-hours-to-your-life.html?_r=0

    KU Replay on Cyclones.tv

    For some reason, it doesn't seem to be available. Called Sidearm Sports and they said it's an ISU issue. Didn't get to see it live. Would have liked to have seen the replay since it's only one of two games with a happy ending.

    CyCast with Wayne Stanley

    A great listen for the more seasoned Cyclone fan. I found it on i Tunes but looks like you can listen at Cyclones.com as well. Lots of great memories about his teammates from the mid 70s. Talked a lot about his role as a leader and the culture of the winning 1976 team. He didn't think much of...

    If Paul stays, what would be different next year?

    -More physical line play? -Finally, the right kind of offense for our personnel? -Player development finally kicks in and we have more depth on both sides of the ball? -Finally the right group assistant coaches and an uptick in recruiting? I am seeing lots of reasons offered to keep him around...

    Curtis Bray Memorial Golf Outing

    I happened to be wearing an I State logo shirt on a recent flight and struck up a conversation with a very nice woman who is Curtis Bray's first cousin. She made me aware of an event coming up this Friday June 19. It is the Curtis Bray Memorial Golf outing. It will be held in the Pittsburgh, PA...

    FAWCast 12 30 Harbaugh Talk

    First, another good FAWcast today. Was interested in CW's story about Harbaugh and ISU in 2006. I had always assumed that the chatter about Harbaugh being interested in the ISU job back then was the stuff of message board urban legend. Sounds like there was a little more to it with CW confirming...

    Ctrl Alt Delete for Cyclone Football

    This program badly needs a re-boot. Past history suggests that institutionally (President, AD, Boosters) ISU just doesn't know how to "do" football. I'm pretty vocal on here today saying Rhoads should be done. Either way, I think the AD could benefit from some outside help that could provide...

    Parity in the Big XII

    The league is quite balanced as evidenced by the K State and WV wins today. Texas and Oklahoma are not what they used to be. Baylor is made up of mortals after all. Time for us to join the party. ISU can compete. It's not impossible.

    ***OFFICIAL ISU OSU POST GAME THREAD****

    No denying it any longer. Big problems with this program. Can't score, can't win. That simple.

    John Cooper

    Apologies if this has been discussed and merge this thread if it has, but this story over at Cyclones.com is pretty interesting. Cooper would have been a great hire in 1979. Sounds like the AD at the time didn't do a very good job recruiting him. We took a shot at him a few years later, but he...

    Offensive innovation and adaptation

    Interesting and crazy times in football. Chip Kelly appears headed to the NFL, taking his up tempo game to Cleveland of all places! In DC, the Shanahans installed the zone read on the fly this year and ended with the top ranked rushing offense in the League. Belichick installs major wrinkles...

    1972 Liberty Bowl

    After watching the highlight video and feature on the 1972 game on cyclones.com, I wondered about a few things How did we get to a bowl back then with a 5-5 record? Why did Majors leave after that year? Wasn't the new stadium already on the drawing board? If I am plowing old ground, I...

    Winning Road Record

    Went 3-2 on the road this year. I mark this as another culture changer. Now let's finish up 4-3 at home.
