  • Yes, keep the rivalry yearly.

  • No. Every other year is enough.

I was thinking about Farmageddon (because duh?) and the fact that it isn't a protected rivalry. What would you think if ISU and KSU scheduled each other in years they don't play a conference game? I personally would love it, but can think of plenty of competitive reasons why it might not be the best choice.

Also, if you don't like that, what about scheduling closer "big" schools like Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, instead of scheduling the yearly FCS and G5 opponent?

All Quarter Century ISU Wrestling Team

I've enjoyed Flo's series picking their all quarter century wrestlers at each weight. It's the dog days of summer and wrestling news is slow, so I thought we could do the same here.

Who is your top/favorite/best Cyclone at each weight from 2000 to today? No other criteria than that. There is a great ISU wrestling history book listing all Americans, etc at Cyclones.com if you need a reference book. I'll provide mine once I figure it out, but it won't be as easy as I first thought.

Starting 5 and rotation

How do you envision how the rotation works this year? I think the biggest question is at SG with Heise and Nelson. My guess:
PG - Lipsey
SG - Nelson
SF - Milan
PF - Jefferson
C - Buchanon

Plenty of minutes off the bench
Heise
Batemon
Toure
Mulder

I'm bullish on the future of Pleta, but I think his minutes are limited this year. I don't see us going past 9 deep much.

Urban Coyotes

I live in Urbandale and my yard backs up to a green space/wooded area near 80-35. There have been coyotes reported in the area, but they haven't been much of an issue.

Recently, I've spotted a few crossing my yard during the daytime, which is a bit unusual. In the past, I would only see them early in the morning. Should that be a cause for concern? I don't have pets, but I do have young children who play in the back yard.

Any Coaches out there?

I’ve been coaching for 16 years (high school cross country) and I absolutely love the practice of coaching. I love watching the kids improve and gain confidence and pass along what they learn to the younger kids.

I also really appreciate the coaches that we currently have at ISU, we’re lucky to have these people. I’ve been so impressed with their demeanors and passion and perspective.

I’m wondering if any of you coach (your sport and level) and what you like/don’t like about it.

Tailgating location

Daughter going to be at Iowa State this year and we are coming for ISU-Iowa weekend. Bought tix, but need reliable, close, fun place to tailgate that I can purchase. StubHub didn’t have much, not specific spots. It was kind of confusing. Any ideas? I’m glad to pay good money and go reasonably early. Just want a guaranteed spot fairly close, ideally with access to portapotties.
