Ok ok I admit my shameful secret. I kinda like the Cybertruck
The Cybertruck has been in the news lately because all of them got recalled due to having issues with, uhh, stopping. This was the sign I needed to unburden myself. Yes, I kinda like the Cybertruck. You happy? Let me be clear, I think the truck is ugly and stupid. Tesla corporate culture is... -
Has anyone played this simple version of Pac Man?
PAKU PAKU! https://abagames.github.io/crisp-game-lib-11-games/?pakupaku It's Pac Man, but only one line and ghost. Anyone else played this yet? -
WE WILL needs vintage logos and I created one
The standard WE WILL logo is great and obviously is inspired by our boy Jack. BUT! What if WE WILL was around in the 1980s - what would the logo have looked like? I often draw mock vintage logos but it's hard to find time to make an actual semi-finished design. For this one, I was inspired by... -
How to continue Jack Trice's legacy in future years?
RIP to Jack Trice. Great job by everyone involved with the 100th anniversary events. It's always been clear to me that Jack should be an annual thing and I hope the positive reception to this game (etc) helps make that happen. Around 2016, I wrote several stories on my site about the need for a... -
Decided to do a Jack Trice story for Smithsonian magazine
I decided to start doing some freelance work this year and did a piece for the Smithsonian about a portion of his life and includes a discussion of my items such as the photo and jersey, but I definitely didn't share all of my research and held back a bunch of things... -
Small concern about Jack Trice logo usage - UPDATE: Gerry Vaughn
Open letter time! Today I came across this very cool beer can design: I'm a bit uneasy to see Jack's tragic legacy on every single piece of merchandise out there, including the traditional "vice" of alcohol. I think the logo would benefit from some guardrails with a clear, tangible benefit... -
Thoughts on social media sites? UPDATE: Apple, IBM, Disney, etc. stopped advertising on Twitter - Musk suing
I pulled the ripcord on Twitter quite a while ago, because of ... uhh ... yeah. I miss it though. Really made me feel informed on daily news - I never understood those who said it stressed them out, etc. Sort by chronological and follow people who aren't morons. Done. There's a lot of hub bub... -
I asked ChatGPT about Jack Trice
It's very late here, but I became curious about the famous University of Iowa State player named Jack Trice, so I asked ChatGPT (the popular AI model) to teach me more. Some very interesting and accurate information here: "Who were Jack Trice's teammates?" Some notable teammates who played... -
I updated the Cy basketball logo - and Rucker Park thoughts
I saw the vintage basketball Cy logo on the new team gear - it's so easy to modernize, so I threw this together in 15 minutes. DESIGN NOTES: 1.) Cy doesn't need ruffled shorts. Maybe Queen Victoria, but not our avian friend. 2.) Generic block logo changed to current logo shape. 3.) All...- Kagavi

A note on NIL - Jack Trice was paid to come to ISU
With NIL, I wanted to share some history about how the sausage was always made. National outlets have decried paying college players for 100+ years. LATE 1800s: Yale and Harvard alumni tried to outspend each other for players every year and (amazingly enough) kept winning the "national... -
Volleyball sleeves and Iowa State football uniforms
I posted this on twitter but thought it was worth sharing here: If those don't show up for you, gist is that ISU volleyball uniforms have amazing arm sleeves that recall retro football uniforms, such as those worn across four decades by George Amundson, Bruce Reimers, Troy Davis, and Sage... -
Another Kagavi story: Jack Trice in color
I was tired of staring at Jack Trice in black and white, so I tried to do something about it. I used the Minnesota photo that I found in 2018, which is absolutely awful quality, but maybe the most meaningful. Other pictures would be much easier to colorize. Maybe I'll do those another time ... -
Can't believe it's been almost 10 years since Barbara Mack died
I was thinking about Professor Mack today and how much I loved her JLMC law class. I have two stories to share: Since I can't hear, I had a very prim interpreter in that class. Very genteel. Refined. Barbara was so caring and understanding, but she was still Barbara. Early in the semester...- Kagavi

Players should NOT be paid!!! Probably done with ISU
Sick of this crap. So much for our amazing coach (future HOF!!!) who can only do so much w/ new uniforms, etc. Probably done being an ISU fan. Screw this. CFB is being destroyed. Schools openly paying players. No loyalty w/ transfers. Too many bowl games. Coaches crying about losing players due... -
A new Kagavi story: Jack Trice and the Ku Klux Klan
Hey everyone. Can't remember the last time I was on here. Also can't believe it has been nearly 17 months since I posted a new Jack Trice story. I think you won't want to miss this one. As always, thanks for the support. All I ask is you share it with others. I'm also glad to answer any... -
More opportunities for ISU branding
In early 2019, I wrote about ISU's Missed Opportunities right here on CF, aiming to shake up stuff. Yes, my friends, I am still riled up. This week, I've been reading about ESPN College GameDay destinations this year (with mention of CyHawk) and thoughts on the direction of college sports...- Kagavi

KAGAVI: New Jack Trice photo discovered!
Been a while since I did one of these. There was a bit of a kerfuffle with Jack Trice on Twitter earlier today, so I decided to get a new story out. Seemed like everyone could use a distraction. As always, enjoy my babies. http://www.kagavi.com/new-jack-trice-photo-discovered/ -
Amazing find! Oldest ISU uniform in existence?
A little bit ago, the ISU Archives tweeted a new acquisition--an amazingly PRISTINE 1910 ISU baseball uniform: Simply stunning. I believe this is the oldest known ISU baseball uniform in existence which, of course, joins my own Jack Trice-era 1923 ISU football jersey and 1923/24 ISU...- Kagavi

Which one is better? Be honest!
Many people were debating the best ISU logo on Twitter yesterday, so I made this. Which set do you choose? Timeless notes: I-State logo font was updated (see A/E) New Cyclone by Friendan Design (IG) Cy's dated boots removed to show talons & chest logo slightly changed to be new "I" shape...- Kagavi

Games lost at Hilton since Orr
Lots of debate happening these days. It always helps to have a common set of facts to work off of, so with that in mind ... It has been 25 full seasons since Johnny Orr exited the stage. Since then, no ISU coach has stayed longer than five seasons for various reasons. I had some extra time...- Kagavi
