    Correct. The original bid had for both the North AND South endzones to receive full width replacements but with all the NIL stuff that shook out the past 12-18 months and the additional $20 million dollars the Athletic Department needed to come up with, they scaled back the South End Zone board...

    *** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs #17 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

    I too wish we played more straight up defense. Alot of our issues start with allowing dribble penetration, forcing guys to help off the guy their our guarding. Seemingly teams have figured this out and a skip pass or two and they are sitting their with a wide open jumper. That combined with...

    2025 Transfer Options

    Agree. TJ seems to recruit "scorers" over pure shooters. The getting down hill stuff works in high school, not so much in college unless you are "elite". Look at Keshon this year, teams have cut off his drives and he's struggled immensely. I really wish TJ would look at a guard/wing...

    Field is rough

    Iowa State's turf/Hort teams essentially grew/developed their own turf back in 2022. At the time it was thought to be best of the best, but I think the last two years has proven it hasn't held up to expectations. In hindsight, it was a pretty big gamble to take and got to think the turf team...

    "People like you" - love that line. Typical response from a typical keyboard warrior. I'm not in the minority with being disappointed with this decision. Jamie has done some good things for Iowa State but to say the guy is not deserving of any hint of criticism is laughable.

    Why is that a weird take? If money is the reason the south video board was reduced in size, why spend the several million dollars to replace the board for a slightly better increase in resolution? And yes, I do think our stadium lacks a lot of amenities and big time feel of most other P5...

    They had it full size in the bid specs for both north and south end zones. Guessing Pollard went the cheap route to save a little money. Very disappointing to hear this as our stadium lacks most stadiums in a lot of other areas and 2 large video boards could have enhanced the game day...

    ISU Survey

    I'm anxious for this as the prior system was just not good. And I agree with the comment about less band. No offense to them, but they don't get the crowd pumped up. 3:30 time outs seems like an eternity some games - they need good content on screens and good pump-up music beginning 60...

    On a related JTS note, has anyone been by to check out the progress of the new sound system/speakers on the north endzone video board? If anyone has photos, please post them. TIA.

    JTS Speakers

    I mostly agree as the sound system always sounded bad in Jack Trice, IMO. As I noted above, curious to see photos that anyone may have of what it looks like. There were renderings that were on another thread last fall but can't find them at the moment. Also, the plans called for new video...

    JTS Speakers

    Anyone happen to drive by the stadium and snap a photo of the new speakers at Jack Trice? I know this was part of the plan for video/audio in Hilton and Trice but curious how they look. TIA.

    Home Insecticide

    Mi-Fiber vs CenturyLink

    My Direct TV is hardwired back to a switch and never had issues previously. I opted not to use Mi-fibers router as was told I didn't have to and instead just have a ONT that converts fiber to ethernet which goes directly into Eero router. From there I entered static IP info from Mi-fiber and...
