Rant About The Referees (Part II)

– I hope I don’t have to go on about this all season. Here’s my gripe… Are you telling me that the multi-million (billion) dollar industry that is the NCAA can’t come up with 7 guys to referee a game? First let me say ISU’s game last weekend was the worst officiated game I think […]

ISU vs Iowa (Game Prediction)

– ISU vs Iowa (Game Prediction) This game is evenly matched and will be decided by turnovers. I think the Cyclones will get one more than the Hawkeyes and that will be the difference. Iowa State will find itself in an unusual postion in the fourth quarter, playing from behind. The Cyclones will get the […]

ISU vs Iowa (Position by Position)

– The oddsmakers have Iowa as 13.5 point favorite in the game on Saturday. That spread is absolutely ridiculous to anyone who knows anything about these two teams. I have watched both games these teams have played and I really think these two teams are pretty even. Let’s see how they breakdown position-by-position and see […]

ISU – UNLV Post Game Thoughts

– Iowa State dominated the game through three quarters but couldn’t finish off UNLV and let them back in the game . I think I see a pattern forming, how about you? Over these last few years we have really been spoiled by the discipline of McCarney’s teams. Iowa State was only penalized 6 times […]

ISU Needs to Play 4 Quarters

– Every game Iowa State players and coaches hold up four fingers symbolizing that they own the fourth quarter. When are we going to actually see it on the field? Iowa State was dominating the Rebels through three quarters. Need proof? Score: Iowa State 16 UNLV 3 First Downs: Iowa State 17 UNLV 8 Rushing […]

Rant about Referees

– How in the world did we end up with Mountain West officials for the game Saturday? Why isn’t there a rule that keeps that from happening? If there is a game between a Big 12 team and Mountain West team there should be an officiating crew from another conference doing the game. I sure […]

I Hate the New NCAA Clock Rules

– I hate the new clock rules in the NCAA. How many of you agree with me? Did anyone else feel like the game against UNLV was only three quarters long? Why do you try to fix something that isn’t broken? I really hope that this rule gets changed ASAP. I know it probably isn’t […]

Greater Des Moines Cyclone Club Luncheon Notes & UNLV Game Prediction

– Scott and I (along with our buddy Dan Reding) attended the pre-UNLV game luncheon yesterday and we thought we’d share some of the highlights from Coach Mac. Here goes: – Coach came into the luncheon upbeat as ever and you just can’t help but like the guy and be thankful he’s here at Iowa […]

ISU -Toledo (Post Game Thoughts – 1 Week Later)

– I posted earlier that my initial thoughts were that ISU lacked “Killer Instinct” in their game against Toledo last Thursday. I still feel that way, but there were way too many positive things that happened in the game for me to dwell on that one thing. Now that I have had time to reflect […]

ISU – Toledo (My Original Post Game Thoughts)

– When I was walking back to my car after Iowa State’s 3 OT victory over Toledo last Thursday night, a friend of mine asked me if I had to write a headline right now for the front page of the website how would it read? I told him “No Killer Instinct”. When did Iowa […]
