    I think this is a definite possibility but its going to cost some $$. Would be an absolute home run for a Coordinator

    Bryan Peterson Impressed by Donovan Jackson

    If throughout the season Monte can knock down the mid range jump shots, and get close to 18 ppg, 8 assists and keeps his turnovers low, he is gone. Its way early in the season, lets wait until we start playing the Big 12 schedule but I would think if we go far, and Monte improves that mid...

    Differences from last year to this year - coaching angle

    His demeanor is very similar to Fred's. He doesn't jaw at the refs at all, there was one time where I saw it. He is definitely more vocal on calling out plays and getting guys into the right spot - which as others have said and I agree with, is due to the players warming up to the new system.

    Thank you. Took the words out of my mouth. I thought my observations were pretty positive and even stated that there were far more positives than negatives. Go State!!

    Differences from last year to this year - coaching angle

    11 turnovers. Almost all of those from the middle pass in the press - 3 from McKay, 3 from Niang, 2 from Nader..the press is tough when the big guy is the middle pass. I thought they did a good job of pressing us tonight..and I think we will see it more. And yes, OU presses..at OU last year we...

    Differences from last year to this year - coaching angle

    It was awesome being in Hilton tonight for my first game of the Prohm era. I noticed a few things that I enjoyed and some things that will probably need to be addressed at some point. The good: Many set plays where Monte was clearly the go to When Naz was hot, there were some new wrinkles...

    Time to Put Up or Shut Up!

    100% agree. College football is entering a weird stage of putting up the cash, to get what you want. Houston and Memphis throwing out $3mil for their coaches is both insane and smart. They dont even touch our athletic budget. Now is Pollards time to find the right guy, throw a 5 year $15mil...

    Hoiberg Press Conference

    Hoiberg mentioned during the press conference that 2 years ago he entertained an interview with another college team. First I've heard of this..anyone know who this was with?

    TJ will be the next head coach, all points towards it.

    Bobby Lutz was a 1 year deal? Cornell Mann was a 1 year deal? Give some context, sorry but I dont buy it. Even in the terrible football era of CPR, we give a 2 year deal to supposedly the greatest offensive mind in college football. Give me details on 1 year deals for assistant college...

    TJ will be the next head coach, all points towards it.

    TJ is such a safe hire that I hate it. He was going to interview for head coaching jobs at small schools, he is a great recruiter at schools like Iowa State..and next thing you know he and his wife are moving back from Washington with a 1 YEAR contract in tow? How is anyone not discussing this...

    Pollard's comments from today's Tailgate tour stop re: Hoiberg

    All of this is insane. The guy just got done with his 2nd heart surgery, he has a TOP 5 team coming back next year and some people seriously think that he would take what in theory is about a $1mil raise to go coach in Chicago? Fred could stay at Iowa State for another 4-5 years (typical life of...

    Rhoads appreciative of Pollard support, expects rebound in 2015

    I might be captain obvious here but how/why are people thinking we will be better next year?! Will we finally have a quarterback? Will we have an All-American TE? Are the injuries really what held us back this year? Look at the schedule next year, and tell me what road games we will win...

    Jake McDonough talks about paying players.

    What concerns me a little is when he says some players wouldn't use the money they received and send it home to take care of their families. Is that legal for them to do that? I don't know the rules on what/where the money can be spent..so maybe its a non issue.

    Kareem Canty, Marshall PG

    Just saw on Twitter Kareem Canty was granted a release from Marshall (two 'l's cant fix typo in title). We had recruiting him in the past. Solid minutes as a freshman and avg over 16 points a game. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/61323/kareem-canty

    Is UConn a better match up for us than UNC?

    If you just look at the stats on paper yes UCONN is a much better matchup than North Carolina. UCONN: 144th in points, 146th in rebounds, 179th in assists 142nd field goal % UNC: 49th, 9th, 24th, 75th ISU: 6th, 23rd, 1st, 40th Granted on paper is different than what happens during the game...
