    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #19 Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

    I totally disagree. So many things can go wrong in these elements. You fair catch everything unless it’s a low line drive and you don’t have guys trying to set up blocks with no idea where the ball is. In this weather you have no idea where the punt may go. That was sheer stupidity and it’s on...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #19 Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

    At this point I’m not sure that CMC is capable of not shooting himself in the foot. He is awful in the margins. I fully expect to have opportunities to win the new Big 12 in future years and Matt Campbell will find a way to screw it up. He has has opportunity after opportunity to self-correct...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #19 Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

    Ugh. That touchdown may cost us the game and it is 100% on Matt Campbell. Trying to set up a punt return in this weather is mind-numbingly stupid. It is a perfect example of why he is 1-6 vs Kirk Ferentz. Having that punt hit an unsuspecting upman is inexcusable. Campbell needs to get his head...

    *** Official Virginia Tech vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I wouldn’t call us a young team. We have a lot of new players to mesh but Milan is the only freshman getting meaningful minutes. Gilbert is shooting 11% from 3 but we need his game going to the basket. IMO the biggest thing we lack now is a reliable 3rd guard, and we really need 4 guards. If...

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    Exactly right. The amazing thing yesterday is that Iowa tried to hand the game to Nebraska in the final minute but the Huskers immediately handed it back to the Hawks. It was incredible.

    *** Official Virginia Tech vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Gilbert and C Jones need to start making some of their perimeter shots else TJ will need to rethink the offense. King McClure was right when he said Gilbert shot that late 3 with no confidence and basically just put the ball up in the air and hoped for the best. If those 2 continue to struggle...

    *** Official VCU vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I hope TJ sits Curtis the rest of the game. He’s been awful. Lost his man on that corner 3 that put them back up 5 and he can’t make an open shot to save his life.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    His coaching is better and in the pros he can invest all his time at his craft as opposed to college. But you can’t discount learning from his mistakes in college. Throwing mechanics didn’t cause him to fumble late in the first half of the 2019 Iowa game, or fumble for the scoop and score at the...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    A better OL and special teams would have won more games during the Brock/Breece years for sure. But Brock also made critical mistakes in some key games that cost us, usually due to him trying to do too much or in some cases just not having good ball security. The Niners are benefitting...

    Iowa State freshman Omaha Biliew delivers a breakout performance in 92-37 rout of Grambling

    I hate to see a guy go down but I think Ward being out opens a door for Omaha. I would not be surprised to see Omaha take that starting spot soon. Ward and Bob Jones bring their size and toughness and are valuable pieces but they will never be able to do the things that Omaha can do on the...

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    Yes, there are so many bland B1G matchups. Michigan and Ohio St pummel the rest of the teams and when those teams play each other it’s some of the most boring football ever. The QB play in particular. But the 4 new PAC schools add a ton to the league. Nonetheless, I expect the current Little 12...

    Uniform color for Texas

    And this time actually wear no pants. We took so much crap for the flesh colored pants in the Trice game that we might as well embrace it and go full monty.

    Sound off

    Hassel is a die hard Hawk fan and he was a riot on Sound Off 10-12 years ago. He’s a funny guy, doesn’t take himself too seriously and will call out the Iowa teams, coaches and administrators when deserving. Whereas Sears has none of that charisma and self-awareness. He’s simply a wanker and...

    Eustachy back at Hilton Sunday

    Great post. Before the UCLA game I looked at their roster and came to the conclusion that we were going to kick their ass. My favorite matchup was Jason Kapono and his wimpy light blue headband against Cantrail Horton. That had sure fire smackdown written all over it. And it was.

    Elizabeth, co

    I just hope ISU doesn’t make them change it like U of Wyoming did to DSM Roosevelt HS. Roosevelt changed its picture to a cowboy riding a fat horse which has always looked awkward.

    *** Official Idaho State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    It’s basically an even game since we jumped out 19-5. I don’t understand Omaha’s 2 minute shifts. He’s not in long enough to get into the flow of the game.

    The Jimbo Fisher thread

    Doubling your pay to $9 or $10mil would surely be tempting but the thing is, the $4.5mil or whatever CMC makes now is also life changing. If he earns that at ISU for another 10-15 years he’ll have made close to $100mil in career earnings. That’s generational wealth for his family. A&M comes with...

    Updated: Milan Momcilovic commits to ISU

    Is Grady **** a comp? Maybe Grady is more athletic. Either way, I’ll take Milan for as long as we have him.
