    Is this team tired? Does TJ need to ease up the rest of the way?

    We know how grueling TJ’s regimen is for his team starting with summer workouts. It’s allowed him to take patchwork teams to 3 straight tourneys including 2 Sweet 16s, with this year’s team ranked in the top 10 all season and seemingly poised to go even further. Unprecedented in the history of...

    In NYC, where to watch the SDSU game Thur night?

    I’m in NYC all week for work. Does anyone know if there is a Cyclone Club here or an informal group that watches the games at a particular location?

    Meet at Lucky Horse before the Sisters at Drake on Sunday?

    Would be fun to meet some of you bastards. I’ll bring name tags. Put your cyfan handle on your chest and let’s put some faces to names. Will be fun to watch Ariana Jackson after following her at Roosevelt the last 4 years.

    Used RV for sale at low price

    Any Clone fans out there who have been thinking about getting an RV and entering the elite tailgating world? My father-in-law is selling his after many years on the road. It's an older model so the price point is very low compared to newer RVs and he's a retired John Deere mechanical engineer...

    Surly in 3, 2, 1……

    Shout out to the Fighting Surlys and all the Wildcat fans in Sioux City. That was a big win for KState and the Big 12, especially over a blue blood. After watching that game I think they can win the East region.

    Campbell’s record in 1 score games vs FBS

    By my count Campbell is 13-21 in 1 score games against FBS opponents in his ISU tenure. If you throw out the 1-3 his first year while building the program then it’s 12-18. Not terrible but could be better. Though we managed to finally get over the hump against Iowa this year I’m concerned that...

    Number of Sweet 16 appearances since 97

    Found an article that talked about this being Arkansas’ first Sweet 16 appearance since ‘97, which included this chart. 100 teams have made it. If the Clones win tomorrow we will be the 27th team with 5 or more. Memphis and Illinois also playing for their 5th. Not bad. FWIW, I count 90 teams...

    For Cowboy fans chirping about the spot on their final play

    Moot point. Should have been a penalty on the OSU lineman for pulling the ballcarrier forward. Iowa State declines, game over. Very simple. https://www.google.com/amp/s/daallen.wordpress.com/2014/12/07/football-helping-the-ball-carrier/amp/

    Who is your surprise player this season?

    I like TJ Tampa. The coaches have always spoke very highly of him and based on the video clips of him playing basketball he looks like he has NBA athleticism. Datrone Young is an experienced contributor opposite Anthony Johnson but it would be outstanding if TJ breaks onto the scene and gives us...

    Stormin’ Norman

    People have been talking a lot about Vegas but this game has the potential to be the mack daddy road trip of all time. If chalk prevails it will be two undefeated top 5 teams, ESPN Gameday, the whole works. I know I’m supposed to expect the groin shot along the way but I refuse to this year. So...

    Priorities for the new ISU mens basketball coach?

    Here’s my take on what the new coach needs to do in the near term to have any success next year and to start turning the program around. - keep Foster and Tyrese Hunter - develop Conditt as much as possible for his final season (I think he stays and can play at a much higher level) - make...

    Penn State football hazing

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28484451/former-nittany-lions-player-files-federal-lawsuit-james-franklin-penn-state-hazing Truth is stranger than fiction. Hard to believe this could happen given what transpired over 30+ years there. Or maybe not.

    KU Hoops: brought to you by Adidas and Snoop Dogg

    https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/27770289/kansas-apologizes-snoop-dogg-show-late-night-phog Pole dancers, a money gun and profanity. Beautiful. Sounds like Self is going out with a bang! Was probably part of De Sousa’s package - $50 grand and a Snoop Dogg concert.

    Need to go big vs certain teams

    Games like this will continue to happen if we always play 4 guards. Prohm tried to go a little bigger in the first half with Talley but that still didn’t get the job done. I think he needs to put 2 of Jacobson/Lard/Conditt on rhe floor in certain situations. Problem is that the regular season is...

    Uwazurike injury

    Any word on this? I like Leo but he does not have the same impact as #50. I think we give up less than 300+ passing yesterday if he doesn’t go out on the first play.

    What is the status of the area between SEZ and Reiman Gardens?

    I haven't been to Ames since the Spring Game in April and won't get there until the UNI game. Does anyone have an update on the progress of the work being done between the SEZ and Reiman? Pics would be cool. Last time I was there they were installing lots of large drainage pipes.

    Which new player was the most pleasant surprise?

    With so many players being discussed as potential additions (grad transfer, sit out transfer, mid-year transfer, juco, late HS signing) it would be nice to have a guy really surprise on the upside, aside from an obvious guy like Wigginton who comes in with big expectations. For me the best...

    Where to watch the Clones in NYC?

    I go to NY about one week a month for work and I'm tired of watching our games solo. Is there a sports bar in Manhattan where ISU fans will be for tonight's game with WVU?

    Players who have surprised so far

    I love Mutcherson. He seems like he could be Leonard Johnson at safety. Got the pick and was ferocious in run support. I loved the play where Weisman turned up field and put his head down but Mutcherson took a run at him, got under him, and literally took him off his feet and knocked him 2...
