    Can we quit doing black uniforma

    I think the black uniforms look cool. I can understand why Campbell and the players like them. Many teams have non-school color alternate uniforms like black and gray. My high school football teammates always loved black on black as well. I always felt like coaches used the uniform combinations...

    UNLV QB is leaving the program immediately due to the school not withholding NIL commitments

    The other thing to consider is the graduation rates for the general population of students. Generally, it is lower compared to the graduation rates for football players or student athletes as a whole. There are exceptions, like with the Georgia football team (last in FBS at 61%). But on the...

    Kindergarten Bullying

    I love your approach to preparing your kids for the world and not expecting the world to adapt around them. Model the right behaviors, create situations where the kids can observe you thriving, and ensure they have consistent challenges to positively overcome. Some might worry that if you push...

    Kindergarten Bullying

    TLDR Version: Take a rational reasonable approach with school staff and leadership, trying to separate past events from current events. Try to uncover the whole truth as kids have just their personal perspective. Understand your options if true physical violence is not being addressed. Recognize...

    The dreaded #8 seed

    We had people talking about us for a playoff spot in 2021 after we won the fiesta bowl. We were 5th in preseason. Didn’t end up working out that year. It is always great to get realistic projections that the team is expected to be successful. Plenty of games left. I plan to enjoy them 1 at a...

    Brock Purdy reaction to game winning FG

    I am a lifelong Chiefs and Bears fan. I’ve been rooting so hard for the niners though. Can’t wait until Brock gets paid. Couldn’t happen to a better guy. Such an awesome ambassador for our program. I am thankful Matt Campbell recruits and coaches awesome kids. Priceless reaction!

    Nailed It.

    I got new tires recently from Discount Tire. They offered a $45 per tire protection if a tire needed to be replaced over the life of the tire. Maybe at this rate your spouse might consider this? Or maybe you figure bad things happen in threes and it has to be done now, right? What are the odds...

    Jelani Hamilton enters portal

    I don't think there is any debate that he didn't contribute to our team directly on the floor. I think most of us had higher hopes that he would get a chance to contribute at some point. But the new reality of college basketball is that some freshman will hit and some will not, especially at...

    ISI/OU replay ESPN+

    I use the ESPN app on Roku as well. For future reference, the best way I have found to locate the replay of one of our games is to use the search feature and search Iowa State. Then scroll down past all the upcoming events until you get to the replays. It will be there not too long after the...

    Basketball telecasts

    LOL, I hear you on the ads. Or whatever weird noise is made when there is a game break. The amount of repeats is hilarious when there are ads. I seem to need to start the game a bit late or watch the end late too frequently, so I am happy I get to avoid some of those or fast forward.

    Basketball telecasts

    My thought is this is where a company like Roku could really add some value. If they are able to find a way to seamlessly allow viewers to "change channels" between apps/specific programs on apps, or even watch multiple apps/shows at once, picture in picture or otherwise splitting the screen...

    Basketball telecasts

    I agree that the prime time games get more production budget, especially related to the broadcast team. But lets say ESPN decided to put the game on ESPNU or ESPN News and it was visible on cable. I wouldn't expect any difference to the quality we get on ESPN+. This is just the difference...

    Basketball telecasts

    If you don't have a Roku, I would recommend buying one. They are inexpensive and the User Interface is pretty smooth and easy. The ESPN app is also easy to use. If you are paying Mediacom, you are paying ESPN. By buying ESPN+, you are essentially paying a subscription to watch your team. ESPN...

    Do you want Campbell gone?

    I am not going to look it up, but I did hear him say it. Want to say it might have been after Oklahoma State. Or maybe a midweek media session. I thought it was good accountability and a good reason for optimism. He also has since been quoted that complimentary football is how to win at ISU. So...

    Summer Bahamas Trip

    Nice game by Curtis Jones. The team as a whole went 12-26 from 3, while C Jones went 8-12. Rest of the team was 4-14. Hopefully we can get going from 3 as a team next game!

    Shocker (Not): T.J. is revered by his peers.

    That is my understanding as well. TJ had a better than expected first year. I believe he may have gotten rid of some players that did not fit his program vision and then had some injuries the 2nd year. If I recall, Caleb Grill ended up playing a bunch of point that year. I think we can all agree...

    Who will be the leading scorer this year?

    The ISU team that I am going to compare this year's team to is the 2013-14 team led by Melvin Ejim, DeAndre Kane, and Georges Niang. Just for fun, follow me here: Melvin Ejim made a jump as senior. Played the small ball 5, perhaps like Tre King could. Georges Niang took the most shots on the...
