    Three turnovers and two blocked punts...

    A blocked punt definitely is a turn over. Field position in D1 football is humongous. Offenses take the field and try to string multiple 10 yard series together in attempt to get into a position to score.. Good defenses make the process more difficult. Take away 30 to 40 yards of field...

    Xavier Townsend Commits!

    Found this on YouTube the other day - XT put up 351 yards against Arch Manning down in Louisiana. The announcers reminded everyone watching of his Iowa State commitment(repeatedly)

    Talk to me about Jim Walden

    I recall being at that "crazy game with KU" and the fumblerooski (a play on which ISU scored going into the north end zone). KU was ahead 28-7 before ISU score forty (40) straight points to grab a 47-28, lead, only to give up 21 points in the 4th quarter and lose. I think ISU has to hold the...

    INSIDER: Some thoughts on Iowa State's QB recruiting/situation

    Another possibility - seems to have "NFL potential" and he is already on our radar. https://sports.yahoo.com/can-qb-alex-thomson-go-tiny-wagner-nfl-phil-simms-thinks-191650386.html

    Why does this moron still have a job

    I believe he has a brother on the team - for what it is worth. Going to be awkward the rest of the season if that is true.

    Baker Mayfield arrested for Bar Fight

    Another link: "The report obtained by Trotter also says Mayfield "had slurred speech, had difficulty walking down stairs and was covered in food on the front of his clothing." Mayfield later attempted to flee the scene, but an officer pursued and eventually tackled him." Ran down by a police...

    I have a bit of a soft spot for Dickie V, but

    The best is listening to him talk about how Woodbury has "such a soft touch" and should get the ball more. I actually wish we could petition the NCAA to get him more eligibility.

    SEC Myth - Iowa Nice Guy

    Could do without all the black and gold in the video - but with ESPN and SEC in bed together - it is so true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQnYfkDO5Ks

    Al Golden Fired

    While I agree with CyVader and BigSag but I think it is premature to compare our offensive line to the Stanford offensive line. I agree it would be nice to get there and to a Pro Style attack as a way to recruit players that are not experienced in the spread offense and it gives us a way to...

    Different Team with Lanning

    At least he has been a bright spot on a dreary day. A reason for hope again especially when he gets it out of his hand rather than take a sack. A full week of reps will certainly help but he threw the ball well.

    ***Official Iowa State vs Baylor Gameday Thread***

    Totally agree on the hitch hike home - no way he should be allowed on the plane.

    How's that 3-4 defense working for you now CPR?

    Let's not forget they had a QB with a bad knee wearing a big brace whose accuracy dropped significantly when he was scrambling. Even if you drop on the snap, at least threaten press coverage. The further down field they have to throw it reduces the percentage of completion. Another issue, we...

    ***Official Iowa State vs Texas Tech Gameday Thread***

    Warren had 8 carries for 82 yards and we went multiple series without giving him the ball. Good job Mangino!! Way to exploit their deficiencies.

    You can count on my son's 6th grade team showing more heart than this in 4 hours. I promise you that.
