    Monday OT: Which president are you?

    Harry Truman here. When I read the historical summary I was amazed how similar we were. And it was topped off by this beautiful line, "Truman had a definite taste for whiskey, but not to the extent that it affected his work". I'm thinking that maybe I could be the next president of the United...

    Wigginton looks great

    I agree that NWB needs to stay out there as much as humanly possible, but if NWB never again forces another bad attempt at the end of the half/game with 4 seconds still left on the clock, I will be a happy man. Either Shayok or Wiggs is my preference for those forced last second shots if we...

    CF "What If" Poll

    Can we get a poll going to figure out for sure which poll is the worst poll ever on CF? I vote this one. Then maybe JP can write us an open letter to our community explaining how to properly use a poll and that should fix it forever. <no jimlad implied, but plenty of winky faces>

    *** Official #17 IOWA STATE Vs Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

    Remember that one time, when Spangler missed an easy layup that would have tied the game and forced overtime right before we proceeded to go out and win the whole Big 12 tourney? This was the same year as we had our amazing 21 point comeback against OU during the season at home. Good times...

    Jeff has good genes...

    Interesting tidbit. Like another famous ISU alum, his daughter signed up to go to Kansas for college (on a volleyball scholarship), but went to USC instead. https://heavy.com/sports/2016/05/abby-hornacek-jeff-daughter-bio-age-height-volleyball-fox-sports-tv-job-college-family-parents/

    Kyler Murray is going into the NFL draft

    I am in complete agreement that I question whether he will ever play in the NFL solely due to his size. Not to question his arm strength, QB skills, or tenacity, just his unfortunate body frame size. He was the best QB in college football this year IMO, but that doesn't pay the bills in the NFL.

    This one is on me guys...

    I have to take credit for NOT losing the game this time guys. It was not on me at all. I generally text a lot during the game with my friends and at halftime, I wanted to comment on our general good play and I resisted and did not do it. So unless the jinx was just thinking it.... then it was...

    STAFF PICKS: Texas

    I've been saying to my friends, I think Texas will move the ball on us (similar to how BU did) but actually score more. I think we need 40 to win, sorry to say. So I'm saying ISU 42 to 36.

    Cyclones Gain Territory on CFB Empires Map

    It is possible I could be wrong about this (sometimes I am wrong, I just never tell that to my wife!), but what I love about that map right now is that no Texas teams own any of Texas at all! Ha! Love that! All of Texas is soft and ripe for the picking!!!

    Submit Your Questions for the 11/7 Mid-Week Mailbag

    Yes, you are correct. Had my head in the wrong place there. I meant one of the 6 NY's bowl games. Not CFP.

    Submit Your Questions for the 11/7 Mid-Week Mailbag

    Break it down for us. If we win out, but somehow that certain situation occurs where WVA upsets OU and gets into the championship game for a re-match, do we get into the CFP? I assume no, but give me the logistics.

    MONDAY MUSINGS: ISU game plan vs. Tech was conservative, but brilliant

    I am in total agreement with this assessment. It's not that we were conservative, it's that we were predictable. There is a difference in the two. Two or three play-action conservative passes on first down would have done miracles. Let our great running back run a few sweeps to keep the...

    Go here. http://jacktricestadium.io-media.com/web/index.html# Put in section W, row 4. That is my seat. (well actually I am row 3, but you can't select that one). I would take row 1 or row 2 also, but these seats are fantastic and unless you put me in a suite, I would never move from these...

    West Virginia Coach after the game...

    I enjoyed reading the comments on the bottom of this blog. The blog itself was nothing special, but there was a long line of WVU comments that were complimentary of us, but also touched on some of the same old issues we have discussed forever. If you are into this kind of thing, you might...
