    Iowa State Uniform Discussions

    Never gonna please everyone no matter what changes are made or not made. I would like to see a gold helmet. But since we have not seen gold pants for several years, this may be a nice compromise. Maybe one "special" uniform will be worn this year and certainly a possibility for the game in...

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    Remember that BEDS only has enrollment numbers for grades 9-11. If you really want to look at trends and total district enrollment--which often allows one to more easily speculate about future HS enrollment, you can look at the certified enrollment figures published by the DoE...

    Ed Podolak stepping aside

    What this really makes me consider is what will the broadcast sound like when either John and/or Eric retire.

    Offseason of High Expectations

    Since it is April........ It would be awesome to finally win 10 games in a single football season. Earning a 1 or 2 seed in both MBB and WBB would certainly imply that the seasons were excellent. The NCAA Tournament often comes down to matchups and officiating and player health and luck.

    Cyclones a contender in 2024

    This will anger some, and others will say "it's about time": Many posters are sounding like Iowa Cyclones/Iowa State Hawkeyes.

    Jamie Pollard on KXNO today

    I agree. It should be irrelevant, but according to what this year's committee has said, non-con SOS appears to be more important than a superior overall SOS and TWO wins over the AP #1. But as an earlier post mentioned, next year's committee (March Madness and/or CFP) will come up with some...

    Lipsey

    Totally agree. Interestingly, the guy who sat next to me at Hilton last night complained about Tamin most of the first half. Kept yelling for Tamin to "redeem himself." Seems as though Tamin did. And I have to admit, I was not feeling too positive about the team's chances at halftime.

    I so hope that you are wrong, but I fear that you are likely correct.

    Fan Duel evidently has our O/U at 7.5 wins... Thoughts?

    A fair O/U based on last season's results and current general expectations. Seven wins is hopefully the floor for ISU. Eight wins would be my early prediction. A great year seems possible for all the Big 12 teams in that published 7.5 range which means some team will have a breakout year and a...

    Conference record predictions

    I am not so sure that the conference champ will win more than 12 games. Nine wins in this conference will be very good and likely a 4 or 5 seed in NCAA.

    Will Bowls be Dead in 2024?

    Bowl games are like the NIT. The NIT exists, but it really does not matter to anyone beyond the fans of the teams playing. Seems about the same for the bowls. If the players don't play, then fans are not going to care very much. Then again, let's see what the ratings are for this bowl season...

    Iowa State Uniform Discussions

    A win may mean we see this combo a bit more. A double plus, I'd say! I'd rather not see white pants unless there was a bit of white in the uniform or a bit of gold/cardinal on the pants. But the W is what really matters!

    Does this imply C/C/W or C/C/C? Does it imply nothing and Randy just took a picture of helmets on a table?

    ****Official 2023 Santa brought me what I wanted thread****

    For a number of years, the gifts we each received from the kids were actually gifts that we purchased for each other. After 43 years of marriage, we have not actually bought each other gifts for a decade or more. But now, the kids actually buy us gifts since they are adults. It is a nice switch!

    SIGNING DAY CENTRAL 2024

    I absolutely agree when it comes to success and playing lots of freshmen this year! I think it may be best to truly judge a class based upon a team's success over 4 years.

    SIGNING DAY CENTRAL 2024

    It would be very impressive to keep 90 percent of the roster! In this day and age, keeping 70 percent for four years would be impressive considering transfers and dismissals and so on. Will be interesting to see actual numbers in this area.
