If our offense had scored 17 points in every game this past season, we would have finished 7-5.

Scoring 21 points in every game would have gotten us an 8-4 record.

Scoring 24 points in regulation in every game might have gotten us to 9-3, depending on how overtime went with Texas.

Scoring 28 points in every game would have gotten us to 10-2.

Averaging 28 points per game still would have placed us 68th in the country in scoring offense.

If we can keep the defense somewhat close to its level from last year and just have an average offense, we should have a good season.

Anyone heard??

X man is shining!

UCF fans have been attempting to build some rivalry smack on the platform. ISU fans have been eating their lunches for the most part but this one was funny! LOL!

There's probably nothing too earth-shattering here, since we all discuss it ad nauseam here on ISU Confidential, but I thought I'd go ahead and link this article with my Cyclone/Jayhawk comments at JayhawkSlant.

A little boy named Brock Edward.

Who is Carley? Just the sweetest personality on cable news these days.

Those who know, know.

Those who don't know, won't care.

Gone at 84. No cause given as yet. One of the greatest🏒

A southern farmer got in his pickup and drove several miles to a neighboring farm and knocked on the farmhouse door. A young boy, about 12, opened the door. "Is yer pa home?" he asked.

"No sir, he sure ain't," the boy replied. "He went to town."

"Well," said the farmer. "Is yer ma home?"

"No, she ain't here either. She went to town with pa." "Well, then, how about yer brother, Joe, is he here?" "No sir, he went with pa and ma."

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.

"Is there anything I kin do fer ya'?" inquired the young boy politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borry one; Or maybe I could take a message fer pa."

Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer pa. It's about your brother Joe getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant."

The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to pa about that," he finally conceded. "I know that pa charges $500 for the bull and $250 for the boar hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Joe."

Campbell was answering a question about Brock last night and made the point that the 1st 8 weeks of the NFL everyone was talking about Breece. Next 8 weeks, everyone was talking about Brock. He said the football program and university benefited greatly.

He was going to go to the Philly game with his son Rudy, except Rudy woke up at midnight throwing up. Plans changed. Then he lamented the fact that he's spent years trying to get his kids to be Browns fans and just like that they are 49er fans. Even worse than that, they like and are cheering for Kittle.

Scheelhaase said to win in the Big 12, you have to have a power rung game and be explosive in the passing game.

Obviously, Clanton's success with the Oline will be key to the running game. But the explosion in the passing game will have to come from the Wide Receivers. Do we have players who can give us explosive plays?

Stanley has the speed. He needs to eliminate the "Stonefingers" approach that occurs too often.

Noel is the most experienced but never has quite developed to a true threat behind Hutchison. Scheme or talent?

Bitter had a (very) few big catches then disappeared. Why? Injury or coaches decision?

Daniel Jackson? Rave reviews, never healthy.

Higgins is a experienced at a lower level.

How about the redshirt freshmen? Gaines III, Essex, Adams? Adam's supposedly has elite speed.

Is Hannika a TE who can add explosive plays?

Are any true frosh likely ready?

Does explosive plays (20 yards+) come from players or can it be schemed?

Light jog at this point in rehab is not unheard of. That treadmill though!! Like jogging on the moon with the reduced weight bearing.

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Former Iowa State men’s basketball player Tyrese Haliburton has been named to the 2023 NBA All-Star Game. The starting point guard for the Indiana Pacers, Haliburton joins Jeff Hornacek in 1992 as the only Cyclones to be selected to the game.

Haliburton will be making his first appearance in the game, as he was one of seven reserves selected from the from NBA Eastern Conference. The game is scheduled for Feb. 19 in Salt Lake City.

Despite missing the last 10 games with injury, Haliburton leads the league in assists with 10.2 per game. In 40 games this season, Haliburton is averaging 20.2 points, 10.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game. Haliburton returned to the Pacers starting lineup Thursday night.

The 30 NBA coaches selected the 14 reserves, voting for two guards, three frontcourt players and two players at any position in their respective conferences. LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo were announced last week as the captains alongside the starters for the game.

For the first time, the NBA All-Star Draft will take place right before the game. The two team captains will draft the team rosters for Team LeBron and Team Giannis from the pool of players voted as starters and reserves in each conference. The Draft will start at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 19. The game will air on TNT and TBS.

My wise mother used to say bad things happen in 3s. With what we Cyclone faithful experienced Saturday, Sunday and now Monday night, I’m expecting the Clones to beat KU by double digits on Saturday.

Sounds encouraging
