I promise there will actually be one this time. Since I wrote a whole column on Hoiberg, I will not include him in any capacity in this mailbag, so don't bother asking questions about him.

Planning on answering the following questions from last week's thread. Lots of fun ones to offset the fact that everyone seems to be freaking out about one thing or another right now...

Cyched: When using a urinal in a row with no privacy stalls (Jack and Hilton for example), which is the right way to look? Straight forward, or straight down?

BCClone: When you see someone you kinda know but aren't good friends with (like a family friend, a parent of a classmate or so) how do you say hi? Just say hello? Shake hands? My wife has a classmate's dad who wants to hug me every time. Not a side hug but a full "sorry for your loss" type of hug. He will give that back pat and rub during it also. I now try to use my wife as a shield when I see him. He does this to other people not just me. Am I the odd one who doesn't care for some guy I barely know giving me hugs that I won't even give my family? I will say I'm not a hugger, I don't even care for family or friends to hug me.

Cyclonepride: Just what in the hell am I supposed to do until September?

Bret44: When will we reach Peak Offseason Thread? Early May, Mid June? What do you think. Also, what is your favorite type of Offseason Thread?

Darius Bieber: If you had to choose another name for Iowa State besides the Cyclones, what would you think would be appropriate?

coolerifyoudid: Imagine a teleporter is invented, you get to use it for a week before anyone else and there will be no record with how you use it. What are three ways that you are going to abuse the technology?

You work in an office area and have to fart. Where do you go to let it out?

Bathroom? (never trust a fart), outside? (if it is decent weather), or at your desk? (just don't care)

You've just run into an old acquaintance on the street. You aren't really friends, but you're ok with each other. You finish that awkward small talk and say goodbye to each other. Then you end up walking the same direction.

Unsure of how long this will last, do you start up a conversation again? Do you turn and walk a different direction, planning on backtracking after they are out of sight? Do you pretend to get a text or pretend to retighten your shoe to create distance? Do you walk a few steps behind them giggling maniacally?

This season had unusual ups and downs in that we won games we weren't expected to on the road, but lost games we didn't expect to at home. What needs to happen to make sure Hilton Magic is alive and well going forward?

Coach Prohm has had good success with sit out transfers. What needs to happen to increase success with grad transfers as we may need them this year?

Not exactly sure.

Don’t hug them, just don’t hug them.

Also, is it a hot female? Then the hug may be ok.

Why do you hate people who's names rhyme with Hed Froiberg?

Any word on when Wigginton is supposed to make a decision on NBA or Iowa State?
