    Cyclone Invite vs. Drake

    Yes, I know the football debacle happened, but I hope people are watching the volleyball team. We're up 1 set, and looking good in the second. It'd be great to finish this tourney with a good win. What is the deal with Kelsey Perry? She hasn't played yet this year? Hatch didn't play last night...

    ISU vs. KSU Volleyball

    Anybody watching? We actually won the the first set!!!! Played not great, either. Phillips got eaten up early. Gave up a couple aces in a row. Playing better now. 6-8 in the second. They have no air, so it's like 90 degrees. Sweat is all over and causing problems.

    ISU vs UNI: or.........What, what's that? $1 Tickets???

    Yes. Bobby has gone bush league again, trying to sell out their arena. Nice. Why us? Try it with Wichita State and maybe you'll win the conference again. I don't have a great feeling about this one. We play awful on the road, traditionally. Common opponents tell us this could be pretty even...

    ISU vs. Omaha

    Anybody watching this? We've won the first two sets, but it was very close in the second, 26-16, 25-23. We're not playing Schaben, and many of the starters saw limited action in the 2nd set. Miranda came in late in the first set and played really well. It's funny, too. The announcers keep...

    Anna Kiel Article in the Rag

    How long has she been a commit? She totally fits the CJL mold of recruit. Multi-sport star, making her the 3rd All-Iowa female athlete of the year in a row playing volleyball at ISU. Pretty amazing. She is already taking summer classes and working camps, so she'll be acclimated. Wonder if the...

    Volleyball: ISU vs Baylor

    We get the win 3-1. Thank you to the seniors. Mackenzie Bigbee, Tory Knuth, and Caitlin Nolan. Lots of great volleyball played. Great careers, though a couple of them got limited by injuries. I never thought Nolan would be very good, so I'm very glad she proved me wrong. Proving why I don't...

    Volleyball ISU vs KSU

    Anbody else watching this match? Why can we not play well there? Where is our block? Why did we save all our errors for a single match? Just questions I have when I watch this. The announcers suck. This is not for 3rd in the conference. KSU has yet to play UT and KU again. We need not to lose...

    WBBall ISU @ Drake

    Not sure why we're content to stand on the 3 line and jack them up, with no rebounding? Bill can't be happy. They have a short bench, why aren't we driving more, or posting up? Drake is being allowed to pretty much do what the want on defense by the ref's.

    We Potentially Ended Baylor's Playoff Hopes?

    I blame nobody but Art Briles on this one. Had he pulled Seth Russell, instead of going for "style" points, they'd be in the hunt for national accolades. That's the big downside to this playoff system. The computer says you have to beat "X" team by this many points. Didn't his injury occur in...

    ISU vs TCU in Volleyball

    'Clones 3-1. Tough match. What did people think? Good win. Really didn't want to lose a set, but we played really poorly for a stretch. I was worried in the second set. We were down 14-8, then came back to lead 18-16. That kind of changed the match IMO. Had to really buckle down in the 4th. Our...

    ISU @ KU

    I can't believe there wasn't a thread for the KSU match? I was traveling at a conference, but got to watch it. We played pretty well. I thought they (KSU) came in with a good plan and executed in a lot of ways. Winning that match 3-0 was a good win. Especially, lacking energy early and falling...

    Hiring of Dan Steele

    While I think this is a major coup, I worry about our relationship with UNI. Stupid, I know. Just more incentive for the football game, IMO. Hiring McD was one thing, this is another. He'd been there 6 years and had some success with athletes. I actually found myself wondering why we weren't...

    TCU vs. Ole Miss, Chick-fil-A Bowl

    I don't really care for anything TCU, and still wished we would have beaten them in Houston years ago. But, they are really stating their case for being left out of the playoff. Nice to see a conference team finally seem motivated in their bowl. 42-0. I thought they'd win, but this is something.

    ISU vs WV in Volleyball

    We lead 2 sets to 0, trailing early in the 3rd 11-7. Can't watch the football game anymore. Go girls, finish this 2nd half the season well. We must have some fans there, you can hear them in the background. Let's-Go-State! Nice.

    Volleyball: ISU at Baylor 10/25

    Anybody going to try and watch this match? If you go to the CBS Sports Live site, you can get a promotional winter subscription for $7.50 instead of $9.95 per month. I use it for womens basketball and wrestling.

    ISU vs KSU 10/8 Volleyball Thread

    I think this is a big match for our team. I hate Ahearn (sp). The crowd is right on you. It's a Wednesday, so hopefully it's not that well attended. They seem to get up for us, though. That 0-3 sweep there last year still bugs me. We just went out with a whimper. I hope coach can find a way to...

    ISU Continues Cy-Hawk Winning

    Nice win by the girls, in a sweep. 25-23, 25-22, and 25-15. Seemed like we just wore them down. We started really slow in sets 1 and 2, which is kind of frustrating. Big performances by the young players.

    Questions about athletes and recruiting.

    So, it would seem Foecke is going to Nebraska. Fort Dodge is fairly close to Ames. Is this a thing again about a degree program, or why is one of the state's best players playing out of state again? It's frustrating. I know we have some really good kids targeted, and coming in. I guess I'd like...
