    Impact of RW's early struggles on Hoiberg

    Before I get to my main concern, I've heard a lot of people say that RW's decision to declare was wholly justified when he was drafted where he was. I think this stance is partially right, but here's where I disagree. Based on stories that came out shortly after the draft, I think it's fair...

    Brothers Knott

    Was just watching John Walters' OU preview on cyclones.tv and it showed a clip of #20 firing up the guys in the pregame huddle before Baylor. He looked a bit emotional, but the best part for me was seeing younger brother Luke run to Jake and exchange a hug as soon as the huddle broke. Very...

    Calling all Xs and Os gurus

    Wartknight and co. I was both amazed and frightened by this Grantland piece that CW linked to in his OSU preview. I've heard and read of these offensive concepts before, but Grantland did a great job of breaking it down. It was truly eye-opening. My question: How widespread is this offensive...

    Lot G7 post-game exiting changes

    Received this note from the Cyclone Club today, which is very good news for anyone who sat that hell after the Tech game... Dear Cyclone fans, This football season we have experienced tremendous growth in the number of fans attending our games and we would like to thank you for your...

    7-day forecast, t-storms/rain Saturday

    Thoughts? Chances are the forecast will change about a dozen times between now and Friday evening. (Sorry Cyclone meteorologists.) Assume we get substantial rain, first blush tells me this really favors Klein, Hubert, and KSU. Will be interesting to see how this impacts the game plan.

    TCU 4-2-5 defense?

    I take it from the cyclones.tv preview that the Frogs' base D is the 4-2-5. Any insights on their personnel out of the base? I'm somewhat surprised to see where they rank in rush D after hearing that this is their base D (although they haven't really been tested). Instinctively, I would think...

    Random reminiscing: Julius Michalik

    Just a random MBB post about an under-appreciated former Cyclone. My most fond memory of Julius was having him sign a t-shirt for me, then hearing him ramble something off about the team as he handed it to me. I completely forget what he said, but as an early teenager I remember my first...

    Thursday evening confession

    While there may be more reasons to be confident heading into this Cy-Hawk matchup than most, I'm nervous as hell. A win would be extremely gratifying (particularly because the game is in Kinnick), but I think my nerves are more the result of this specific matchup and the fact that I honestly...

    Jeff Woody interview

    Surprised not to see some mention of Woody's post-scrimmage interview from today. One of the best, most engaging interviews I've seen from camp. If you haven't checked it out on cyclones.tv, it's a must see. Sidebar: Anyone know what Woody's major is? He should be in some sort of media...

    Paint prices!!

    Yeah, strange thread subject, I know. But I have to vent. We're painting a bedroom, in anticipation of a new family member this winter. I've stayed out of the design details, leaving that up to my wife. We like Behr products, so I went to Home Depot to pick up the paint that she wanted...

    Interest in CPR

    Was just listing to an interview that 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh did with Coach Rhoads today. They were pressing him on his interest/involvement when the Pitt job was open. During this segment of the interview, CPR mentioned that "several schools approached [him] in the offseason." Not...

    Hydroseeding?

    Has anyone used hydroseeding for spot patching and repairing thin/bare areas? Would our lawn gurus recommend doing so? If so, any recommendations for the Ankeny/DM area? We moved into our new place last fall and immediately went to work on removing a lot of overgrown landscaping, including...

    Gimme more TE

    I was excited to hear some encouraging reports at this position. In my opinion, the TE was extremely underutilized last season. There are few plays (of the more routine variety) that excite me more than a TE catching a 10-yard pass on a seam route and rumbling straight upfield, head lowered...
