IF Cyclones get Omaha, I want to get tickets. Does Iowa State get a certain number of tickets and how are they allocated? Do you have to be Directors level? Where are the seats typically? Are they good seats? Thanks.

Bill you have him at 100% futurecast, I'm a little gun shy after the Curvey to KU.

They have a 20-10 overall record, but a 6-12 Conference record. So they've lost two more games in conference than they've lost overall. I don't think I've ever seen that before. And before someone chimes in, yes, I know that's because they forfeited two conference games that count against their conference record but not against their overall record. Still unusual and would make you do a double take if you didn't know the circumstances.

LOL. Sorry...I mean violent insurrection.

The Harvard Harris poll this week asked the question if Trump was convicted in any of three cases, Trump will still win. Here are the predicted results by conviction:

DC Case conviction, Trump is +8.
Georgia case conviction, Trump is +4.
Classified documents conviction, +0.

This means Trump will win the electoral college, no matter what happens with convictions. California gives Brandon a natural 5+ points in the poll, so when the poll is showing and even up race, that means Brandon will lose most if not all swing states. So why are people sticking with Trump? Because anyone that can clearly think knows that ALL of these cases are completely political in nature. Heck, we all know that all of these cases are being coordinated by the white house. Convictions will make Trump a stronger candidate.

So this means that the dems are down to one of two options, find a replacement for Brandon, or the 2nd option we don't want to think of. There is NOTHING that the democratic party will not do.

Things I didn’t realize:

Raef La Frentz is an assistant coach on the 3A Decorah team and has son who’s a 6’10” sophomore center. They lost their semifinal to Davenport Assumption, team of the Navon Shabaz kid, who came on in the end.

Clay Edwards is the head coach of 1A Winnfield Mount Union and has three sons on the team (they lost to my hometown North Linn in the semis yesterday) - Jake, Abram and Max. I thought they said one of them had committed to Iowa, but they may have been talking about another guy and football. I couldn’t find them in the recruiting database.

I got a 1966 Mustang might want to sell.

Decent article describing the status of the negotiations. Not surprisingly the initial focus is on the 💰 and on placating the insatiable desire of the power 2. Not ideal but probably not realistic to hold out for a more equitable distribution.

If we tie with Houston for 1st place in the Big 12, would we still play the late game on Thursday, or TBD? I already got tickets for the late game and am wondering if I should have waited. I know it would be a good problem to have.

So hard to calm down and actually sleep after a game like that. Got home around 11, finally turned the lights off at midnight. Must have woken up 3-4 times. What a ride.

K-State has lost only one Big Twelve game at home. It was by TCU by 3 and the horny toads have a good road record. Not to be a debbie downer, but we will have to shoot north of 40%.to give us a chance. Time to break out 40% 3 balls and 75%+ free throws to put old poon in his place.

Couldn't find on the NCAA 🤷‍♂️

KSU Cumulative Stats 23-24

So I am in FL coaching my tennis teams, and my daughter is at home. We "watched" the game together last night, texting throughout. My daughter loves the Cyclones - in fact her last 2 schools (she is a senior in HS) that she is looking at for college are Iowa State and Tennessee. Very rare from out here in the Philly area to attend Iowa State.

Anyway, as we are saying good night after that exhausting game, her final text to me read:

"Dad - death, taxes, Hilton Magic."

LOL.

So I'm watching the MVC tournament and Valpo is playing Belmont. After watching the Cyclones last night, these two teams, from a purely physical build standpoint, look like a mid-sized midwestern high school team. We are GROWN-ASSED MEN compared to these little guys.

That is all.

I don’t know much about this guy, as I don’t watch local TV news often anymore, but I’ve grown to like this guy’s takes on the Cyclones. You might consider giving him a follow on X if you agree.
