    Good gawd. How many times can Alford get fired "up."

    Cedar Rapids/Marion Gamewatch

    John is out of town, but he said they'll stay open for the game and half price pizza. I told him of your appetite for Ames Lager but no promises.

    Oh man. My favorite Marion bar. If I leave right now, I could make it.

    1986 NCAA 2nd round vs. Michgan

    Dad and I were there. We had friends with tickets who couldn't go to the second game of the weekend. We only got to go if they won in the previous round, which happened courtesy of a Jeff Hornacek last second shot. The game itself is still one of my most vivid early teen memories. Skinny Ron...

    Who hates Emily Ryan? I want a name.

    Curtis Jones is returning next year!

    I was just bumming super hard, thinking about him being a senior, when this news came out last night.

    Lipsey

    I was ready for him to be benched at half. As bad as he was in the first, however, he was great in the second. No way we win without him.

    Crazy story from Kickin it.

    I remember when it happened and that it happened on a football Saturday, but not that it was (almost) connected to the game itself. Weird, wild stuff.

    How dangerous is UCF?

    Anyone who thinks Mom shouldn't be starting is a moron.

    How dangerous is UCF?

    I'm worried, like I am for every game, but you can't keep Lipsey and Mommy down for long. My prediction: They break out of their mini-slumps in a major way, and the Cyclones win by double digits. And I'm a well-known pessimist.

    Crazy thing happened today, what would you do?

    You had the best of intentions and likely acted instinctively. The good news is you weren't hurt and it appears your wife loves you, so there's that!

    RIP Richard Lewis

    I knew he'd been sick for a while, but very sad. Funny man.

    What game or event made you a Cyclone for life?

    In Eastern Iowa we averaged one TV game a year, and it was usually Iowa. My dad put a giant antenna on our roof so we could get WOI all the way in CR. We could see the occasional WOI-produced basketball game and 10pm sports through some snow on our little TV. Now I live 700 miles away and get...

    What game or event made you a Cyclone for life?

    I really had no other choice, as a third generation Cyclone. I attended my first football game in 1979, a 38-10 win over Bowling Green. If I had to point to one event that turned me into a rabid, insane fan, it would be the 1981 win over Iowa. Crutchfield almost took his first carry to the house...

    Best Iowa State point guard

    Correct me if I'm wrong, Tinsley turned the ball over a little more than the others, but he made such amazing plays you would not want him dialing it back. He's #1 for me.

    TJ and Ref

    Retired in 2019 when we moved to Colorado. Didn't want to start over at the bottom of the totem pole again. I miss it, but my knees do not.
