RELEASE: ISU head coach Matt Campbell's contract extended through 2032

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.

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.

Chicago trip ideas

Wife and I planning a trip to Chicago Sept 11-14. Plane to arrive by mid-day on the 11th. Going to Cubs game on the 12th during the day, but everything else is open at this point. Looking for some recommendations for where to stay, cool stuff to check out, and places to eat. Looking mostly downtown with an easy way to get to Wrigley for the game. If there is a place to the watch the ISU game on Saturday, that would be a plus (if I can convince wife to watch it).
