    An ISU FB blog post from a 42 year old dude.

    That was a nice reflection of your childhood. I'm older and certainly suffered the 19 year losing streak as well. Somehow I always thought during that period that this year would be different. It wasn't until McCarney took over that it truly was different, thanks Dan. Now I hope Campbell...

    Devon Moore has solidified himself as one of Iowa's top QB's

    This kid has bigtime size at 6'4" 220lbs and his thought process is refreshing in this quote. “Everybody’s just doing their job,” Moore told Cyclone Fanatic in a phone interview on Tuesday. “Running backs are running the ball really hard. Getting the linebackers and safeties to step up...

    tolfbfan: The Plan! The Plan! . . .

    I knew coach would be deeper than repeating his slogan "effort and attitude" but a 14" binder addressing every detail throughout the year. No more winging it from this guy! I think Jamie may have landed a five star recruit and we got his staff as a free bonus!

    Construction south of Jack Trice Stadium

    I saw the concrete pipes a couple weeks ago and they pretty much covered the south parking lot. Big ugly things but didn't look big enough to be the tunnel.

    Georges Niang was introduced as a member of the Pacers on Tuesday

    The Pacers are my new favorite team and will be as long as Georges is in the lineup. I wonder if the Indiana fans quietly wonder to themselves if the hospital made a spelling mistake on the birth certificate? (Georges)

    Yeah his Hudl page says he ran a 4.6 40. If true that is smokin fast!

    Iowa State has picked up a commitment from Top-60 tackle Tyler Jost

    Looking at his huddle tape I'd say the kid love to drive his opponent into the ground.

    Favorite older music

    This sounded so much like Emerson, Lake and Palmer I had to look it up and sure enough one and the same. Lucky Man is one of the greatest ever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89g1P_J40JA

    Spring practice 2 and 3???

    I don't care if the backers were out of position, that stride of Mikes is a thing of beauty!

    RIP Donnie Duncan

    Paul Rhoads gave a shout out to Donnie after our last win against Iowa on national tv. At the time people wondered why Paul said "this ones for you Donnie Duncan" to the sideline reporter but knew Donnie was in bad shape and probably watching the game on tv.

    McCarney Making a Return!

    It's a pretty savvy move on Matts part. Matt doesn't know the Iowa high school coaches yet and I have no doubt Mac is beloved by those same coaches. What better opportunity for Matt to get to know Coach Mac and get credibility with the high school coaches at the same time.

    ***Official 2016 National Cyning Day Thread***

    The last one, Jamahl Johnson DT from Minnesota had 62 tackles 18 TFL last year. Those are crazy numbers coming from a DT, more like LB numbers!

    Emily Durr deserves her own thread

    She was quick and aggressive. We could use her playing like this. Does she remind anyone of Ause or is that a stretch?

    Last time I saw Terry was about 10 years ago when he was running the DM marathon.

    Keith Sims RV adventure

    Keith looks good in the picture of him and his boys. I was always proud of him playing for the Dolphins all those years. I wish the story would have mentioned him touring campus as well.

    Matt Campbell "Grind to Greatness" video

    I don't get the criticism from both Hawk and Clone fans. Anytime I see something new like the coaches meeting room or the Cesna Turboprop I like it. Catchy tune.

    Not a bad loss at all

    UNI has already beaten #1 North Carolina and now us. They have it going again this year. Last year they lost in the 3rd round to Louisville in the NCAA tourny.

    tee tee starks to have surgery wednesday

    Starks must have a very high pain threshold. I watched the game on cy.tv yesterday and didn't notice her limping or hobbling at all. Too bad because those 3 freshmen are really good, Starks, Carleton and Burkhall.
