The Cyclones and Cowgirls tip off the Big 12 season around 4:00 this afternoon in Stillwater. The game will be carried on ESPN2. Emilie and I both have family obligations this afternoon, so if anyone would like to post updates in the thread, feel free!

This is about as exciting as watching a 1st or 2nd round women's bball tournament game. Keep this up and the committee will want to go back to a 4 team playoff.

Clemson on 4th and longer runs a short cross to end the game.

Fire every OC who calls that crap. Dumbest call ever.

Please keep "Cylent " in your prayers and good thoughts.
He just replied via text that he's in the Hospital and they are doing a bunch of tests.
He's probably going to be there until at least Tuesday.
He's going to be pizzed at me for posting this on here because he is a private type of guy, but I told him he has lots of friends on here that will say a prayer for him and keep him in their thoughts.
I don't know which Hospital he's in, but I wanted everyone to know why he's been absent from CR for a couple days.
Imo, he's a staple of Cyclone Report and a reason that I keep coming back.
Thank you!!

Whick team would you prefer in Big12?

Granowski for South Dakota State, Miller (Solon IA kid) for North Dakota State, and Mellot for Montana State are all ballers. Really good duel threat QBs who make good decisions and can beat you running or throwing.

They said today Gronowski has a pretty good shot to make a roster in the NFL. Mellot is a stud. 6’1 “ 210. 4.4 40. He might be an NFL slot back.

Kind of ironic that the other semifinal QB is Aidan Bouman of USD - formerly of ISU. Throws a good football - but is so damn immobile. Yikes. I’d rate him a distant 4th of the four semifinal QBs.

Can someone deliver fresh sheets to Tenn? They've crapped the bed.

Any spit takes on extended video????

Ends quickly!

How many people use standard old toasters???
I have a toaster oven.
Used mostly reheating gluten free pizza and the like.
(Just microwave is NOT the answer gluten free!)

Of course I had my last PopTart at maybe age 14.

between Iowa and Utah. Neither team wants to guard the lane. Utah frittered away a 10-point lead. Iowa on their way to a win now.

ISU starts it's first dual meet today at 2:00 against Lock Haven on Rofkin ($14.99/mo.). You can cancel anytime. Second dual against North Carolina at 4:00. Third dual against Ohio State at 6:00. Go Clones!!

Saw someone (LSC i think?) in another thread ask this and thought it was worth a poll out of curiosity.

Further we get from the Dallas debacle the more appeal this sounds to me, but I am still probably a no this year.

What about you?

Keep an eye out for this girls basketball coach at DeWitt. They just knocked off Davenport North with Kim Mulkey in the stands
watching her prized signee. DeWitt also beat Pleasant Valley highly ranked girls... What he has done with short, slender under classmates
is amazing

Man, he has thrown 2 pick 6's for the only scoring. Has made some bad throws and decisions.they would be ahead except for him.

Grand View University with head coach Joe Woodley just wrapped up a perfect 14-0 season and won the NAIA title with a 35-7 win over Keiser (Fla.). Woodley played both fullback and linebacker for Dan McCarney in the early 2000s. This is Grand View's second national title and first since 2013 when Joe was an assistant under his dad Mike Woodley, who happened to be an assistant under Mac.

Trump, fresh off his 15M judgment against ABC news, is going to sue the Des Moines Registrar. All about the worthless poll saying Kamala was going to win Iowa. It was a complete BS poll, intended to cause election interference, which it sort of did. That poll was so worthless, the lady had to retire before she got fired. My guess is the DMR will settle, just like ABC. There are plenty more suits to come, maybe hundreds more.

Within and along with the NIL-universe, when will players start wanting royalties from whenever there is a game-replay on TV and/or streaming services?

His entire presidency was a lie. Staff was running everything. They actually worked to keep Biden out of the loop. Many national security meetings were cancelled because Bien was just incapable of focusing. He was going to bed at 7PM at night. They did nothing but lie to all you democrats for 4 years. Sad part is most democrats actually bought their lies.

With the Christmas holiday coming up, I'm rolling this one out early to give everyone plenty of time. Let's get rolling with those predictions for the game against the Hurricanes in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

1) Winner & margin of victory. (ex: Iowa State by six)
2) Total points scored. (ex: 52 points)
3) TIEBREAKER: How many passing yards will Iowa State finish with?

Number one will be the first determiner and then I'll take whoever gets closest to the total points. If needed, I'll go to the passing yards prediction to break a tie.

Contest winners will be rewarded as follows: first place (three free months added to your subscription); second place (two free months); third place (one free month).

Iowa State is currently a 3.5-point underdog and the over/under is 55.5 points.

***PLEASE NOTE***
YOU MUST HAVE A CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TO BE ELIGIBLE TO WIN. THOSE WITH ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN 'CANCELED' OR THAT HAVE 'LAPSED' ARE INELIGIBLE.

For the OL!

Sounds like Wisconsin has over 2 dozen players in the portal. Could be rough for a while. I just want them to be good enough to beat Iowa.

San Jose State volleyball goes into total rebuild after losing 6 seniors (including the dude) and the portal allows another 7 players to transfer. Destroyed a women’s team to be a Make a Wish school for 1 guy. A good example of the portal benefiting student athletes not looking for NIL.

Campbell and TJ always seem to be on the winning side of the portal. Which is nice.

Nothing crazy here, but for those like me who enjoy bowl games...

1) Generally speaking, bowl games have been competitive this year. First five games through last night have been 11 points or less. Last season, there were six games on the first day (I'm not counting the Celebration Bowl), and three of those were decided by 20 points or more.

2) A couple of times this bowl season, both teams have been sporting their home (dark) colors in the bowls. IE last night, Georgia Southern (Blue) vs. Sam Houston (Red), rather than one team wearing light/white uniforms. James Madison v. Western Kentucky was Blue vs. Red. At some point, things changed--used to be that one team was always light/white.

3) The 1:00 bowl game today (Cure Bowl, Ohio vs. Jacksonville State) plays in Camping World Stadium, same stadium we play our game in. There are three bowls played there this year, including ours (Miami vs. Iowa State Pop-Tarts Bowl) and the Citrus Bowl on December 31 (South Carolina vs. Illinois).
