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.

ISU is back in action tonight at Hilton Coliseum, hosting St. Thomas at 6:30 pm. The game is being carried on ESPN+. @emiliezeis will have the updates in the thread below.

I almost never watch FoxNews these days, but after listing to a Business Wars podcast, I had to check it out for the election returns. That podcast talked about how all the media used to get their projections from the same set of raw data, although I assume they each processed it in their own way. After the polls missed so badly in 2016 and again missing the red wave in 2018, FoxNews was determined to fix that and set out to improve those projections. I don't recall exactly what they did, but I think they gathering some of their own data. They wanted not only to be accurate, but to be first to call results. And they were apparantly very successful in the next election with whatever they did.

FoxNews was the first to call Arizona for Biden. That irritated Trump and he called them and told them to retract the projection, which they didn't. As a result they suffered in their ratings as conservatives turned to another, much smaller conservative outlet. As a result of that ratings hit the podcast told they gave extra coverage to the Trump claims the election was stolen. They lost one of their top personalities, who quit in protest since they knew there was no basis for the allegations. But the network kept driving that narrative to get those viewers back. And they did come back.

So anyway, long story short (with longer story below), I turned to FoxNews first to see how they called the race. They were indeed ahead of the other channels as I flipped back and forth cross-checking projects. At one time NBC had called more states, but that didn't stay that way for long. So I will let the many of you conservatives know that I mostly watched FoxNews coverage of the election. There were times their commentary was a bit too much, especially when the early returns were indicating something special was happening. They started to gloat a bit, but it was far too early for that, which I think they realized when their group-think went too far. They pulled back a bit.

The other thing I noticed while checking out the other major networks is the over-the-air guys sure broadcast a lot of commercials. It seemed far less on FoxNews or maybe I just didn't notice because they kept a side bar and ticker on during commercials.

The early signing period gets underway this morning for the 2025 class. I'm expecting the Cyclones to sign all four of their commits during this time. I'll be posting the signings below as they are announced by Iowa State.

I went through and analyzed the EC votes from this election and updated it for the apportionment(estimate) coming in 2040. Based upon the states each party won this time, the EC vote changes from the current 312-226 to 325-213. Yes, the 2040 apportionment is expected to move 13 EC votes from the blue states to the red states. In fact, if I throw out the blue wall states and Arizona and Nevada, all states won by the GOP, the GOP is already starting the EC vote count at 263 from deep red states. They are just 6 votes from winning, before they even start (remember the GOP only needs 269 to win, then dems need 270 to win). By the time the 2050 Apportionment comes around, I expect another 10-15 EC votes to be shifted to Deep red states, which likely means the dems have no reasonable path to victory, they will need to flip a deep red state. I think that very shortly the democratic strategy to dump illegals into red states is going to switch, to dumping illegals into the blue states. Another strategy for Dems is to embrace deportation, in the hopes that the loss of population in red states will bring EC votes back to the blue states. The blue states need to have a huge expansion of the population in those states to turn the tide of their loss of congressional seats. By 2050, Texas will have more EC votes than California, and Florida will be getting close to California.

Kinda bored today.

Felt the need to rock out.

These guys didn't rehearse like other acts in a show like this.
Just plugged into their amps and let it rip.

The democrats have no plans at all to address this issue. They gaslight you, and they will never do anything about it, because they can't do anything about it. And yet you vote for them thinking they will address it. No one, I repeat , no one can pass any federal laws about abortion. The GOP is not going to ban abortion, because doing so would be unconstitutional. The democrats can pass no law allowing abortion because that too is unconstitutional. So what the hell are you people thinking? You are getting angry about something that you have no ability to change. The only way that democrats can legalize abortion is to pass an amendment to the constitution allowing abortion, and if you truly believe in your issue, this is what you have to do. Instead, you vote for the democrats in the hopes that they will either ignore the constitution, or destroy the constitution. Stop voting with your emotions and think logically (if that is even possible).

AMES, Iowa - The Iowa State wrestling program and head coach Kevin Dresser announced the addition of four prep wrestlers Thursday. Christian Castillo, Jacob Helgeson, TJ Koester and Carter Pearson all put pen to paper and officially became Cyclones on National Signing Day.

“At this time, it’s one of the smallest classes we have signed in our time at Iowa State, but I also think it is one of the most talented,” Dresser said. “We can’t wait to get these guys to Ames and get them in our practice room.
