    Impressive company for Audi, kind of a who's who of WBB.

    Twister Sister Summary - Is It Ever Too Early?

    I learned my lesson last year. Like most people here (I think), I projected a top 20 finish, not a top 10. But I was wrong even then. This year, I'm taking a more wait and see approach. I think the Sisters have a lot of potential and could make a lot of noise. We know what Crooks and Brown can...

    ***NCAA Wrestling - Session 2 (Thu. 6:00)***

    I guess it must be a lot of fun for anonymous "adult" posters saying nasty things about a kid who is out there in public taking it all and can't fight back. I know that things get said in the heat of the moment in forums but piling on one kid because you don't like the way he fights is a bit much.

    ***NCAA Wrestling - Session 2 (Thu. 6:00)***

    KOT seems like a solid kid. I like how he wrestles very strategically - studies his opponent and then wrestles accordingly. That's how he beat David for the natty, but then, that's how David beat him!

    Keshon Gilbert

    As I listened to Peterson, and all I hear were supposition and innuendo. No solid source, no specific information. My conclusion from the podcast was Peterson is retired and should stay that way. Some people don't know when to leave.

    2025 Iowa's Best Burger

    One thing about the great state if Iowa is the number of places that sell amazing burgers. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and to me it passes the taste test with flying colors, I like Wallaby's Hickory Bacon Burger. MMMmmmmm.

    Guess you've never had a serious groin injury. Rule of thumb? A grade 1 strain can take up to 3 weeks to heal. A grade 2 strain can take up to 2 or even 3 months. And a grade 3 strain will take even longer. Groin injuries are highly variable, as is the time to recover. Just on that knowledge...

    Gee, second guessing the coaches. That's a new one!

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

    Proud of the boys for coming so close without two of their normal starters. Not many teams could hang with a team like BYU under those conditions. I'm not one to complain about officiating, but a differential of 21 vs 7 free throws is wild; I can't ever remember seeing such a difference and...

    NCAA WR: At-Large (Tues.) and Brackets (Wed.)

    Congratulations to our wrestling team. 8 qualifiers is pretty darn good for a team dealing with so many injuries throughout the year. I for one am very proud of them. Go Cyclones!!

    Twister Sister Summary - Near Perfect Half Keys Dominant Win

    I agree that this was a signature win and it was all for Emily. So nice to see. I did not see mention of how Crooks changed her game ever so slightly in a way had her eating up the KSU inside defenders, Early in the game, they blocked her a number of times, so she simply added a slight jump...

    ***Iowa State vs. #14 Kansas State (Senior Day; 3 p.m.)***

    Twister Sister Summary - Another Complete Game, Another Win.

    I am glad you gave POG to Emily. It is really nice to see her back to form offensively. Gotta make her feel good too.

    New Johnny’s starting next year.

    Fisher is an option but not very practical. Most industry (extension) meetings put a premium on giving people plenty of opportunity to interact, before, during and after the event. Fisher has no lobby area to speak of, so no place for people to gather and chat, have a coffee, maybe a Danish. It...
