    Haith to Missouri

    I'm all for capitalizing, but let's build a program from within & not worry about everybody else. Much more credibility standing on our own two feet. Look how far CFH got this year with a scrabled roster...many close games that we didn't have a chance to compete in. I'm excited for the coming...

    Shaka gets HUGE raise...

    Great to see. Surprised a CAA team can fork up $1.2M+, but he's definitely got a chip on his shoulder & his players will mirror his attitude. That turned out pretty good in the tourney run!

    Some thoughts on last night's country music awards

    ZBB is great in concert...saw em in Nville. They give their label artists a bit too much pub throughout their show, but still good. ZBB sounds exactly like the album live, & that's hard to do!

    Some thoughts on last night's country music awards

    Eric Church is the man...coming from TN! Saw him in Nville 2 years ago at a local bar...ridiculous! Real country.

    Not my money! Sugarland is about as annoying as the DickChicks. And Aldean has sold out...too bad.

    Let's Win Online Poll- Best Football Poster !

    What's the story behind the "NI" avatar? Hopefully you went to ISU (or you have family ties). Just wondering, cuz I'd ask the same question with a EIU logo...

    Let's Win Online Poll- Best Football Poster !

    It's good to see MTSU in the running, even though their poster is quite lame (I live in Murfreesboro, TN). I like the posters of ISU, MSU & PSU...but voted for ISU! Go Cyclones!!!

    What is the Best Baseball City in America?

    Definitely CHI. They have 2 teams, but there are Cubs fans everywhere keepin the hope alive. Then I'd say NY & Boston...in that order.

    Military Help

    My story is similar...went to ISU for 2 yrs & just walked in & enlisted in the Marines. My parents thought I was crazy & would never go back to finish school. They even said, "Why couldn't you join the AF or something? It's more of a 'corporate' branch." I'd always had a burning inside to...

    A few people may not want to hear this...

    Re: A few oeople may not want to hear this... I agree that it will be 4 yrs at ISU, mainly because he's had so much player turnover already, which gives him less time to build a team chemistry & integrate his system. And it's the Big 12 too, not the MVC, etc.

    Born vs. Converted Cyclone Fan

    Grew up in eastern Iowa a Hawkeye. My dad & I went to many Iowa bball & fball games. Went to ISU for school & became a Cyclone. What do I tell all the Hawkeye fans I work with? "I've probably gone to more Iowa games than you, so don't tell me you're a diehard... I've experienced both Iowa...

    How good is Wesley Johnson?

    Brackins is special, but WJ has it all... size, ball handling, touch, leaping ability, smart, etc. He also has things you just can't teach. I truly believe (on 2 healthy legs) WJ could start for the Iowa Energy NBDL team. They both have keys roles for the team, but if we lose WJ, the season...
