    Raised Football Expectations

    I have been a fan of the Cyclones for over 50 years. I never thought we would win a game that gives us a winning conference record for the 4th straight year, and I have seen nobody mention the milestone. I don't know if this is a record, I only remember the 3 Bruce years in the 70's. I really...

    Rob Gray's Excellent Article

    I just saw the article Rob posted today. I didn't see any post on it yet, so I wanted to highlight to everyone the last two paragraphs of the article. That’s the hope. The grindstone replaces shiny objects and an ability to remain still in the moment banishes painful losses to the recesses...

    Defensive In Game Adjustments

    I was bored this morning waiting for the good basketball news and looked up some defensive yards allowed stats in the last two conference losses. The yards allowed by quarter for the last two losses are: Oklahoma State 1st Q 117 2nd Q 179 3rd Q 98 4th Q 8 Total 402 Oklahoma 1st Q 220 2nd...

    Change in Style?

    With the reduction in available players, I am afraid we are going to see us go back to slowing the game down and reducing pressure like the last three years when players were short. I hope not because it is more fun to watch an 80 point game than what we saw in Nebraska! If this is in another...

    There is a list of NBA salaries in the USA Today and Taylor makes $500K, Tinsley makes $6.75 million for staying home, and Henrich makes $10MM, and LaFrentz makes $12+MM. Not bad bucks!

    Channel 13 Signal change

    Is anyone else having trouble with channel 13.1 and 13.2 off air this morning? I have been receiving it off air since it was first on, and after the swithover last night it now does not work. 17 was supposed to switch last night and we get that fine. I have the locals on my Directv also no...

    What a difference a day makes!

    I won every bet I made on Cybookie yesterday and lost every single bet today!!! :no::no: Utah looked very good, Kentucky got lucky, and TT laid a big egg for the Big 12!!! It would be interesting to know how many credits were lost today.

    Where has all the defense gone?

    I watched some great offensive games on TV yesterday and we will see more today. I would like to see a good defensive team play today somewhere. I think the defensive play of every game I watched yesterday made you think each team was going to score everytime you got the ball. LSU's...

    I need some CF Extras help - please

    I go to CF Extras, get to the list of videos, select a video, get the screen with the Q on it, and it pops up that I need a download to run the video. I go to the download site and there is a long list of downloads for me to choose from with no flipping idea which one to choose and whether I...

    Why Mediacom would make a deal on the BTN

    This may be more information than you want to know, but a little cable tv economics... First of all, my guess is they are paying less than $1.10 per month if they do get a deal. Mediacom is between a rock and a hard place, and the other cable providers will be also. Let's say for example...

    Meyer's Starting spot safe to me

    For those that think there is competition for the starting quarterback spot, I went to the scrimmage on Saturday and based on the one day I saw, Meyer is safe as the starting quarterback. Arnaud looks big and strong, but clearly has much to learn on the fundamentals of when to throw the...

    Donations - the Grassley Effect?

    There have been a few threads on giving more money to the NCC so I thought I would throw out this question- If Grassley gets his way in Washington and makes contributions to college athletics non-deductible will it change the amount you will to give to NCC?

    Coaches Compensation

    How long do you think it will be before we have to redo GMAC's contract after EIU paid this guy $1.2 plus bonuses? At least Pollard got one or two years of reasonableness out of GMAC before the salary explosion we are seeing now. My point is I think EIU grossly overpaid for what they got!

    Another double foul!

    It was just yesterday that I said I have not seen a double foul since the ISU / MSU game. I just saw another one called in the FL / UCLA game and Curtis Shaw was involved in both of them.

    What I saw tonight

    Tonight I had fun at Hilton- I saw- A good game plan from the coaches who were not afraid to change it as the game progressed (what a change!). Good bb players execute that good plan, particularily in the second half. A fun crowd really in the game, the students were great tonight...
