Iowa State releases depth chart (2023)
Not sure what it means when the top four recruits from 2022 haven't made the chart. In some cases it looks like lower ranked players of their position and class jumped ahead. Would suck if someone like Gaines, a rare four star for us, had a similar path as Joe Scates. - Greg Gaines (WR) -... -

Why OL Development Has Lagged Behind
How does this show that recruiting failed and player development/coaching didn't? Because a recruit didn't end up contributing? That doesn't automatically mean they were a bad recruit. The '16 OL might have been a bunch of hidden gems with potential to start in the Big 12 but were torpedoed by... -

Barry
I think it makes some sense. Barry was trying to shed the weight of his crimes and commit to his better, humane side. Sally was coping with her past failures / lost dreams as well as her present, having formed a family with a sociopathic killer. Barry in particular was attempting to create a... -

Is Fan Engagement a Problem?
The crowd did get loud, but these 8 pm weeknight games...we've had a lot of them. What percentage of people in attendance normally go to bed around 9 or 10? How many people don't come because they know they'll be up too late? Hard to fight that circadian rhythm, especially when mixed with...- ironsam

Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?
Does anyone remember the super crappy/cheap TV commercials Fareway used to run 10+ years ago? Now they have highly polished commercials and marketing (except for their online shopping site/app which are subpar). They've been raising their prices in recent years to be closer to the not-so-good... -

When your supposed friend is no longer your friend....
Couldn't he have been joking around? Some guys say that kind of thing as a joke. Or maybe he didn't say it at all. Do you trust the other employee who told you about this more than the friend for over a decade? Since this was a years long, somewhat close relationship, I'd consider asking him... -

Tyrese Hunter explains decision to enter transfer portal and leave Iowa State
Imagine if Tyrese had been more prolific his freshman year and left for the NBA. It would be cool to see him succeed. Are we hoping he learns a lesson because he left ISU for another conference team? Except when he’s playing against us, it’s over. Enjoying his (potential) decline is a petty...- ironsam

Hunter Deyo redshirt?
Potentially four if Rhodes plays OL instead of TE. If so it would be: Carson Rhodes Trevor Buhr Brendan Black Aidan Gilmore (preferred walk on) -

Jeff Meyers is out as Offensive Line Coach - Who do we replace him with?
How about the best offensive lineman in recent ISU history? He is just barely out of the NFL and doesn't have coaching experience, but he does have a Super Bowl ring, a couple Pro Bowl selections, and still supports ISU. That's right, Kelechi Osemele. If he is a decent teacher and leader, what... -

Outgoing transfer tracker
Yeah, you know, the way we approach it is, can we be the best version of ourselves, not just on the field but off it - in how we interact with the community and with each other. Employing the use of cliches and empty fillers is not how we exemplify excellence in communication. Conveying...
