Some Thoughts

Rocco is the king of four minute offense.
Shorten the game.

Matters having Verdon, Big Citrus, and McLaughlin play.

Best I'd seen Sadowsky play.

Fun game.
Need the same crew back.
Undefeated with them. Rocco asked if they had our game.
Analyst was a Mich. QB. He gets to do their game next weeek.

Burkle improving fast.
We called stuff the TEs we have can do. Not Brahmer stuff.


Sama's TD cost me a piece of the prediction contest most likely.
And I liked it!

FOOTBALL ***Iowa State vs. Cincinnati game prediction thread (please read contest rules!)***

It's Cincinnati week, so let's get rolling with those predictions for the game against the Bearcats at Jack Trice Stadium.

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 an 8.5-point favorite and the over/under is 52.5 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.

So...who wins? (Not who you want to win, but who you think wins)

So, who wins this week? (Or will it drag out after Tuesday?)

Being a Trump supporter, I hear the confidence. But, I also heard that confidence (Red Wave) in 2020...and it didn't happen.

My concerns:
  • Have polls made adjustments for the "Trump affect" that they've undervalued in the past?
  • I spent a better part of three days recently in rural Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and have been dismayed (shocked) at the number of Harris/Walz yard signs. To the point of, "WTH?!" from my perspective, but "Yes!" from the Dem perspective.
  • Dems had a ton of money thrown at them last few weeks--and star power (Springsteen, Beyonce both added to Swift).
  • I know too many "Never Trumpers" that just won't give in...no matter how hard I try to convince them.
  • Cheat vote/constant media BS
  • Early voting is supposedly going well, but, are those votes simply displacing people who would have voted on Tuesday?
The cheat vote really concerns me. Already solid reports of shenanigans going on.

So, where are we at? Just over 48 hours from polls closing.

By the way, I've been observing early voting...and will be doing so again on Tuesday in the inner city of Milwaukee from noon until the votes are counted.

WBB @ UConn on Dec 17

Is anyone from the board planning on going? Being way out here on the east coast and only being 4 hours way or so, my wife and I are planning on going to the game, doing some gambling and staying the night. WBB has not played on the east coast very often, so we figure this is a good chance to see them. We just saw them in the 11 am game the Monday after homecoming, when I went to the game and jinxed the whole football season :rolleyes:

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone was going and if they had tix yet. Looks like it could be a good crowd as there is not many good tickets left for sale in a building that holds 9300 people for hoops. Hoping to bring my daughter too - but her finals schedule at ISU might preclude her making it...

***RELEASE: Casey Swiderski to Miss 2024-25 Season Due to Injury***

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head coach Kevin Dresser announced Thursday that 141-pounder Casey Swiderski will miss the 2024-25 season due to a knee injury suffered in practice earlier this week.

“Casey suffered a knee injury earlier this week in practice and will have surgery tomorrow to repair that knee,” Dresser said. “He will use his redshirt for the 2024-25 season, and we look forward to his return in the spring and his final two years of eligibility.”

Swiderski was an All-American at 149 pounds last season after placing seventh at the NCAA Championships and compiled a 24-5 record for the Cyclones.
