    Anyone work out in the morning

    I'm 45 and have been working out 3 days a week at 5:30 am the last couple of years. Being a night person, it took a mindset shift, but love it now after getting adjusted. Between kids and work, afternoon/evening workouts would get interrupted quite often, so hitting it first thing in the...

    Disappointing season

    He's been hurt since January and tried to play through it. Yes teams made adjustments, but he also was far from 100%.

    *** Official Ole Miss vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    If we settle down we will be fine. They have 10 points in low percentage shots and we are forcing offensively

    Iowa boys state basketball

    Valley got the benefit of a doubt on a lot of calls. Ames literally only shot 1 free throw the entire game. With that said, I wish Ames would've played more downhill like they did in the 4th quarter. Their post had a monster game against Johnston and didn't get a single entry pass. Great...

    *** Official West Virginia vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Robs footwork, fundamentals, and decision making have improved exponentially. He's put in the work, but that's coaching.

    I love King, but we aren't going to get away with him leading in shot attempts.

    *** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Agree. They've missed a few blatant fouls but they aren't going to blow the whistle every possession. We put refs in a similar possession the last 2 years. Just have to play physical.

    Houston is prime for an early exit in March without Big12 refs.

    McDonald’s All Americans who became Cyclones…

    Harper would play at Beyer a bit when he was in Ames. He was ironically pretty approachable and would play pickup with anyone regardless of skill level. Pretty friendly guy on the surface. Just goes to show you never know what people really have going on.

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    Another reason for the push back to the office may have also been their campus renovations. Principal spent several millions of dollars renovating the campus right before Covid and now the complex is sitting unused. Doesn’t really factor into the productivity argument, but may have been a...

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    Principal didn’t exactly move their call centers to Manila. They acquired a company that already had staff there. Also acquired other call centers across the states in the same acquisition. All of their call center staff that existed prior to that acquisition are domestic.

    Who ever the is person in charge of working with the offense should be fired on the spot

    Agreed. Bu TJ “running off” players while trying to reset a program that won 2 games the previous season. Context matters.

    ***Official ISU-Pitt postgame thread***

    Sad it got exposed on this stage but we looked like a true freshman and a bunch of mid major transfers. We’ve had two blue collar rosters and leaned on defense based on what we had. Wasn’t perfect but overachieved considering the roster. If TJs recruiting continues and evolves his strategy...

    Should we have even been a tournament team?

    We don’t have any “dudes”. Most of the year we won anyway with a blue collar work, but some days it gets exposed. TJ over achieved.
