    2024-25 ISU FB Early Predictions and Offseason Discussion

    Early prediction for most impressive position group on each side of the ball: Offense - Wide Receivers - Higgins: Was elite down the stretch last season. 9 catches, 214 yards and a TD in the bowl game. True NFL potential. Added more size/strength this offseason to help with physicality at the...

    More 4-man in 2024 for the Cyclones?

    Agreed. I was honestly impressed with McLaughlin at the tail end of last year. Sadowsky… not so much. But like you said I anticipate they both take a step.

    More 4-man in 2024 for the Cyclones?

    That would be massive. We have a lot of guys on the DL with a ton of power and size. Need to add some guys with burst/speed and some bend coming off too. Hoping Same and Snyder can do that.

    More 4-man in 2024 for the Cyclones?

    Good discussion on Williams and Blum today regarding the 4 man front. Some thoughts I have regarding this years defense and the potential new formations: - When used, I anticipate the look to be a 4-2-5, given that Verdon/Freyler/Cooper are three of the best players on ISU’s defense and we want...

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    Thought the most interesting part was the players (Lee specifically) being told by the DCI “we don’t want to get involved with the schools or to the NCAA, you guys are small fish compared to what we’re going after.” That clearly wasn’t the case.

    Williams & Blum Wednesday: What's next for realignment and Anthony Becht interview

    Solid discussion on UCF and their potential ceiling. KJ Jefferson, who was awesome at Ark at times, plus their RB room (which is arguably Top 3 in the entire country!) is super intriguing. I'm pretty high on their ability to make some noise this year. Their last game vs. Utah has the potential...

    More 4-man in 2024 for the Cyclones?

    Gonna disagree with ya on Orange. He’s a difference maker.

    More 4-man in 2024 for the Cyclones?

    My guess on how the DL looks this year. LEO: Petersen / Snyder / Same DT: Singleton / Jones ? NG: Orange / Hawk E: Onyedim / Ezeogu / Jones ? Feels like those are the top 9 guys. Certainly a crowed “Edge and LEO” position, hence desire for the staff to play more 4 man fronts. Thinking Jones...

    Who do you think our best safety is?

    I'm so excited to watch this group this season. All three starters are elite and I'm confident in our depth as well. Patton, Surges and Howard all have experience and potential and will be able to spell our top 3 without much drop off. Freyler is such an underrated leader and member of the ISU...

    Mid-Offseason Football Prediction Thread

    I'm with you here. Would be a really fun season as a fan, especially given the basketball season that will follow.

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    Have been watching my fair share of NBA and NHL playoffs over the past few weeks on TNT and ESPN. I never once really cared what channel/network a game was on in the past but I have really noticed a difference between TNT and ESPN and the production quality between the two networks recently...

    The only thing standing between Scottie and another green jacket is his wife going into labor.

    Houston just lost Tugler

    Yes especially with Disu going down tonight too. People will be quick and happy to dance on the grave of the B12 if a couple teams are bounced early.

    Houston just lost Tugler

    That’s their second rotational guy they’ve lost for the season. They aren’t a very deep team as is. Imagine if we lost Ward and Watson for the rest of the season. Things would get a lot tougher. Shead and Roberts were banged up in the OU game too. They could very well lose at UCF or to KU...

    *** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs UCF Game(Day) Thread ***

    If a so called “lull” is going 3-0 in the best conference in the country, everyone should take it without complaint. Love this group.
