    Way too early football predictions?

    I have no idea. Been wrong ever since I've been an ISU fan, and that goes back to the Johnny Majors days.

    Former wrestling coach Jim Gibbons urges lawmakers to strip Iowa PBS copyright

    If it has "real monetary value," why hasn't IPTV taken advantage of that? I'm guessing it would take more time, money and resources to market this content than it is worth on the open market. Also, IPTV would need someone dedicated to actually trying to sell this content which is not in their...

    WHO Sports Keith Murphy

    There are 210 rated television markets in the U.S. Des Moines is #71 according to one source. Doing simple math here, it looks like DM barely makes it into the top one-third in the U.S. It's ok to be in the #71 market in the country, nothing wrong with that. The question is HOW LONG will...

    Former wrestling coach Jim Gibbons urges lawmakers to strip Iowa PBS copyright

    IPTV only covered a meet if IPTV could own the rights and IPTV didn't accept any money from the school it was covering. The schools got a lot of free promotion for their respective wrestling programs while IPTV simply gave away the television broadcast to anyone with a TV. The entire cost of...

    Worst rated beers

    Thanks...I remember drinking it and Grain Belt back in the day when one could buy a 12 pack of Grain Belt cans for a couple of bucks.

    Robert Jones in the Dog House?

    Were those the days when we could get into Hilton for free after the first half?

    Robert Jones in the Dog House?

    After two years of obsessing about this kind of stuff and watching the debacle playing out before our eyes, I'm enjoying the winning and believing that TJ knows what he wants to do. For so long we've been watching ISU BB find yet another way to lose that we immediately go to that dark place...

    Hoiberg and Nebraska Basketball In Trouble

    Too bad TJ doesn't have a jersey we can hang from the rafters like we did with a previous coach. Maybe, just maybe we'll have an even bigger and more prestigious banner hanging in Hilton someday.

    Big 12 Expansion (new thread)

    This is an interesting take, and I hadn't thought about it this way because I've not been concerned about UH until now. If this is the case as you present, it sounds like UH students may act like UNI and Kirkwood loyalists. Many, but not all UNI students and alumni cheer for the HOKs when...

    Transfers and de-commits

    Let's review: Last year our BB team tanked and we wanted Prohm fired. Then, the TX/OU debacle occurred. Then, we slipped a little in football. Then, we thought we'd be losing CMC. I'm spent, so I'm not worrying about a few guys who think they aren't getting the love they deserve. On this...

    "Get Back" Beatles Documentary

    Too bad something like this wasn't done while they were doing the Rubber Soul, Revolver or Hard Day's Night albums. Thankfully, we do get this deep look into the creation of the Let it Be album. Who wouldn't want to see them create the soundtrack for Hard Day's Night! That's likely a whole...

    What a difference a year can make.

    I want people who want to be here and that includes the players and coaches. It worked for our football program and it's working for basketball.

    R Mason Thomas Commits!

    Maybe he wants to play in a conference that includes OU and TX? I think we had some pretty good success selling that, regardless of the head coach.

    Are we cautiously optimistic or all in?

    I'm sorry but this phrase has become such a crutch, and in my opinion, a cop-out. One is either optimistic or not. Other crutches include, "having said that," and "don't get me wrong." I'm not an English teacher and only an adequate writer, but I think we write lazily when use these phrases...

    Who else is tired of coach talk?

    I believe it when CMC talks about the importance of the process and concentrating on being the best one can be. These kids know the expectations and I'm sure feel badly when they've not met them, otherwise they wouldn't be playing for CMC. We all have goals. Sometimes we hit them, sometimes...

    Right now Campbell has it all. With a great salary and a fan base that is "forever true," I can't think of any situation that could pry him away from what he experienced last Saturday. He's got unfinished business right here in Ames...beating Iowa twice and getting us into the CFP. The only...
