    Men's Big XII Basketball Tourney Thread - Non-ISU Games Discussion

    How about BYU jumping all over UCF right now. Wow. They can really shoot it. I'm hoping ISU gets hot like that for the next month:-) If so, LOOK OUT!! Anyway, started this thread to discuss the other Big XII tourney games that don't involve ISU. Please merge if one already exists, but I...

    Question for Soil Scientists / Agronomists / Farmers About Rain on Nearly Frozen or Frozen Soil

    I was wondering if the rain last night / early today "soaked into" the ground or did it mostly run-off into our waterways and cause more erosion? It seems the ground is generally dry and could use more moisture, both for farmers and natural areas or even people's lawns. When the ground seems...

    Converting VHS to Digital in Central Iowa Area

    We have some old VHS tapes with a lot of wonderful and sentimental family memories on them. I just popped them in the ol' VHS player (which I'm not sure actually works as it's been many years) and the tapes seem to be horribly worn and grainey / worse. So, I'm wondering if anyone has a...

    MBB: ISU v. Texas - Sec. 122 row 1 - Trade or Sale

    My son's basketball schedule was just set and we will now not be able to attend the ISU v. Texas basketball game on Saturday, Jan. 15 as we will be at his basketball game instead. Looking at the MBB schedule, the only home game left we'd be able to attend this year would either be the WVU game...

    Student Attendance at Baylor (and other break) Games?

    Just wondering if any of the students out there were able to purchase or receive vouchers for tickets to the Baylor game and other "winter break" games (like UT and TTU) if you had standard season tickets? I know in past years the atmosphere has been more tame inside Hilton without much student...

    Tristan Enaruna PT

    Hope Tristan Enaruna keeps his head up. He only played about 9 minutes in the game today, yet still contributed solidly. 4 points, 1-2 from the field, made both free throws, two rebounds and a steal. He's an important piece to this team and we don't have much depth. Just hope he'll keep his...

    Covid Testing Related Question in Central Iowa

    Has anyone gotten tested in central Iowa (Ames, DSM) for the purposes of air travel within the last month or so? I'm wondering as I may have to take a trip this December to a foreign destination which requires proof of a negative Covid test within 5 days of depart for this destination. I have to...

    Ant or Termite Infestation? / Am I doomed?

    I found these critters exploding out of a crevice outside our house where a concrete slab meets the basement foundation wall and the driveway. Basically, the intersection of those places. We live in Ames. What kind of ants are these, or are they termites? Can someone identify? There were...

    New Parking Lot Near the Stadium?

    Driving by Jack Trice today, I noticed temporary fencing (similar to the type seen at construction sites) being put up and surrounding the intramural softball diamonds / grassy areas / football fields east of the stadium off University. It looked like they were fencing off nearly that entire...

    Time for Two Posts?

    I'm curious if others believe its time to try two posts in the game at the same time. To this point, we haven't really seen Jacobson and Lard or Jacobson and Young playing at the same time and I'm really curious to see what we'd play like. I felt like Baylor would have been an excellent...

    Opening Line at Iowa

    Any guesses on the opening line for the game against the Hawks? It's tough to say, but I could see the bookies seeing-through Iowa's veneer, rankings and decent start and favoring ISU by about 2 (home court is worth about 5 typically in CBB, right?). That said, if I had to bet, I'd guess we'll...

    Positive Take Away from the Okie State Game

    One positive I took away from the game today: a couple solid under the basket out of bounds plays that turned into points. It was nice to see the team score on these as we've struggled under the basket in the past and have often resorted to tough inbounds passes or long passes into the back...

    Cyclones RPI

    I know the RPI doesn't mean much this time of year, but it is exciting to see ISU listed at 30 in the CBS sports RPI: https://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/rankings/nitty-gritty-report Crazy. I still feel this is not an NCAA Tournament team, but it was a ton of fun to watch them win 3...

    Interesting Fact Re: ISU vs Better Seeds in Tourney

    ISU has not beaten a team seeded better than 5 since 1997. That's 9 tournaments. Kind of surprising when you consider the Clones have won 11 games in the Tourney since the 1997 tourney, yet we haven't beaten any of the "top" 4 seeds. Time to break that streak on Saturday and make some history!

    Tickets Through Gonzaga

    It looks like you can buy tickets through Gonzaga's website for face value in the upper deck. Go to www.gozags.com; then, click on "Tickets", then click on "Promo Code" and insert "ZAGSINCHICAGO." I found this while snooping on the Zags' message board. Thing is, I would call their athletic...

    Free: Tickets to Tonight's Game

    Sadly, I am feeling quite sick so will be unable to make the game tonight, even though it is the Seniors' last game:-( Thus, free tickets (2) in the upper deck to the first person who responds, promises to yell like crazy when we're on defense (even when others around you don't) and stands and...

    BLUM: Georges Niang, Man in the Middle

    http://www.cyclonefanatic.com/basketball/mens/news/blum-georges-niang-man-in-the-middle/ Great article by Blum. Absolutely hit my sentiments about Niang right on the head. What a special Cyclone and I hope we all cherish this last month (and a half;-) with Niang wearing the Cardinal and Gold...
