    Cyclones to wear matte helmets in select games

    I really like matte helmets, but something seems off about these for some reason. Maybe it's just that sticker. Hopefully it looks good with the full uniform. I think they'd look pretty good with the all white uniforms.

    Our D - better than advertised

    If we've learned anything during the Paul Rhoads era, it's that defense alone doesn't win in the Big XII. The Cyclones had as good a defense as any team in the league in 2012 and barely got to a bowl game. I'm not worried about the defense because, frankly, it doesn't matter that much. Rhoads...

    ***Official Jeremiah George drafted 154th to the Jets thread***

    He might get a decent chance to start in 2015 when current starting linebacker David Harris' contract is up. The Jets emphasized special teams late in the draft, so hopefully he'll be able to stick there and learn from the bench in 2014. It's really about as good of an opportunity as George...

    Ejim's Replacement: Dustin Hogue!

    Now Melvin Ejim was one of the all time great players for Iowa State as far as his leadership and helping shepherd the program from 15-17 the year before he came here to 28-8 this year. But he's not like Kane or Niang, who have a unique blend of physical attributes and skills to make it hard for...

    Grantland Article of Fred

    Good lord, enough with the smiling story, Grantland. We get it. He told them to smile and they won the game. You don't have to tell us six times. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool anecdote. I just feel like the article could have done without a sledgehammer to the head.

    So who starts?

    You know, Morris - Long - Hogue - Kane - Ejim with Thomas, Edozie, and maybe even Gibson mixed in is still a pretty good lineup. If Long and Thomas can step up as shooters and Edozie and Gibson can score a few points and pull down some rebounds, there's ways to replace Niang statistically. The...

    Where are you picking the Cyclones

    I tried, you guys. I tried so hard to resist picking Iowa State to win it all. But the offensive consistency, the 2nd half adjustments, the hot streak, the selflessness, it was just too much. I know it's a homer pick, but I've reasoned my way into a hole on this one and don't see myself getting...

    Jeff Goodman ESPN tweets

    Who cares what the guy from Roseanne thinks? This team is going to have a chance no matter who they play or where they're seeded.

    Top 25 victories

    We had a bunch of wins over teams ranked in the AP top 25 at the time of the game, which really doesn't matter as far as tournament seeding goes. Iowa, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas were ranked teams when we beat them.

    I can't imagine he'll be back next season. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

    EDOZIE THREAD!!

    On offense when he first got in the game, he wasn't guarded. He just stood outside the lane and waited for the shot and went for the rebound. I got a pretty good kick out of it.

    Death, taxes, and Cyclone Fanatic complaining about the pep band.

    #4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15,17, 19, and 24 teams all with tough road games today

    Ha, I must have missed that. When you're wrong, you're wrong. No worries about today's game then.

    I'm more concerned about even winning our own game, no road team has won at Kansas State this season.

    Why does OSU still get so much love as bubble team?

    Re: why does OSU still get to much love as bubble team? Iowa State got in last year with 10 losses, the worst of which being at Texas Tech. This year, Oklahoma State has 10 losses, the worst of which being at Texas Tech. If they can beat Kansas at home, they should be in.

    *** Official Iowa State @ TCU Post Game Thread ***

    I said going to be good. Lots of freshmen get schooled by upperclassmen.

    This Shepherd guy is going to be good.

    ESPN Article

    Do the people jumping on this guy really think we've looked great these last few weeks? 4-1 is an amazing outcome considering how bad this team has looked for stretches. If they play like this in March, they could leave the party early just as easily as they could make a run.

    AP Poll 2/17: Iowa State #17

    Tomorrow's game is between 17 and 19, although which team is ranked where varies by which poll you choose.

    2/17 ranking

    In my opinion, being ranked around 15th has always just felt right for this team, even in the midst of the winning streak.
