Men worldwide are becoming more conservative, at a rate that is far faster then women becoming progressive. This is why Trump won and why virtually every government in the west is going down. Conservatives in Canada have a 99% chance of winning everything. France is bordering on complete collapse for Macron. Argentina and Poland have gone conservative. What is the common thread? They are electing alpha males, mini Trumps.

The question is why can progressives not understand this? I have seen the list of Democrats for 2028, it is pathetic, half are women, and the men are all pussies. Not an alpha male in the bunch. Is the democratic party even capable of producing an alpha male? Democrats say it is misogyny. They are telling men to step aside and let women run, and then they expect the men to go to the sideline and cheerlead. Only a pussy would do this, they clearly do not understand men. They try to design the world to change men, they call it toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity is just men being real men. But the democrats continue to attack men, so men become conservative. The last time the democrats had alpha males is John Kennedy and then Lyndon Johnson. Every other male president was basically a pussy, except for Nixon. Clinton was kind of close to al[ah male, but it turns out Hillary is running that marriage. Michell was running Obama, she even admitted she hated Obama for at least 10 years. She wears the pants in that family.

I have been watching Trump in France for Notre Dame, and clearly he is the most powerful and most popular person on the planet. Everyone was jockeying to be in camera shot. At this point Biden no longer exists. I keep thinking if Commie was there instead, and she would appear so incredibly weak, Trump knows everything about body language, and always fights for the high ground in body language, I truly doubt that any democrat even understands what this is. Mainly because most progressive have been emasculated. I sometimes wonder if the whole point of putting chemicals into the food supply is to lower testosterone in men (which has been observed), because the less testosterone in men, the more likely they are to be emasculated and progressive.

I haven't seen anything posted on here about Matt and ISU inking an 8 year contract extension. My son mentioned it to me last night. I googled it and found an ESPN article. No details were given about the financials. If anyone has more info please provide it. It's great to know that Matt is making ISU a priority. He is building a great program for us.

As you may know, Seneca Wallace is (was?) the Iowa franchise holder for Wingstop. So anyway, was just in the Ames location of Wingstop for a late lunch with my co-worker. While we were eating, employees were taking down the Seneca jerseys and memorabilia from the walls. We asked them what was going on. The guy told us Seneca sold, and he wanted to get his jerseys and stuff back. We didn't find out if it was all Iowa locations, or just Ames.

But anyway, breaking news! My buddy tried making an offer on the Wallace Packers jersey, but no sale.

Seeing all the stuff come down reminded me of this scene in Animal House.

I know a close win against NW and a close loss to MI. What are their strengths? How do we match up? Anyone see them play? I have no idea what to expect from them.

Cyclones stand pat at #3. They comment on our upgraded nonconference schdule.

Remember when contacting athletes, (tampering) before they're released from their current school was a violation? Wait, it still is!

Does someone have a betting line for Thursday’s game? Thanks.

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State women’s basketball guard Kenzie Hare will miss the remainder of the season, Iowa State announced Wednesday night. Hare has struggled with an ongoing hip injury and after exhausting conservative treatment options, has decided to medically redshirt this season.

“Kenzie has made an amazing impact from day one!” said head coach Bill Fennelly. “I am disappointed for her and our team, but this is the best thing for Kenzie. I know she will come back better than ever and have a huge impact on our team.”

“Due to an ongoing hip injury, we have decided it's best for me and the team that I redshirt this year,” said Hare. “I look forward to supporting my teammates the remainder of this season and for my next two seasons as a Cyclone!”

A junior from Bartlett, Illinois, Hare appeared in all 10 games for the Cyclones while making eight starts. She averaged 8.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game as Iowa State’s third leading scorer.

No. 18 Iowa State takes on No. 21 Iowa in Iowa City for the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series game. Tip-off is at 8 p.m. and the game will be televised on FS1.

I thought attendance at the Championship game was great, especially from Iowa State fans. I admit it's not easy to see the stands on the side of the field you were on, but they look mostly full in our side of the lowest three sections. Again that was from my vantage point. The ASU side I thought was better than I expected with some empty seats sprinkled about and the crowd tailing off toward the corners, particularly in the upper sections.

Having said that I come back to media folks that are saying attendance was bad. Where is that coming from. Did they give some data on attendance? Or did the TV catch something different than what I saw? I know the TV cameras were pointed at the ASU side, so maybe that had something to do with it. Of did the announcers comment on it? It quite frankly has me baffled.

Thank you to everyone who participated last week. The final score was Arizona State 45, Iowa State 19 (ASU by 26 and 64 total points). The Cyclones passed for 214 yards.

Here are the winners:
@HoustonCy had ASU by 12 with 44 total points and 192 yards passing for ISU - gets three months added onto the term of their subscription.
@APCLONE had ASU by 11 with 45 total points and 285 yards passing for ISU - gets two months added onto the term of their subscription.
@Cysmic had ASU by 6 with 48 total points and 243 yards passing for ISU - gets one month added onto the term of their subscription.

My daughter is a freshmen at ISU. She just had her last class of the day and she and ALL her friends (a group of about 8-9) are heading down to Dallas via car. Making the 11 hour trip.

Anyone have an educated guess as to how many we send? Just like the Bowl game in Phoenix in 2000, this Big 12 title tilt is a generational event. We sent 25-30K to Phoenix and at the time, that was considered a sensational travel performance for ISU, and that really built the narrative of how well we travel as fans.

Any guess for tomorrow? Can we get 20K down there?

As I plan ahead to the costs associated with travel to this week's Big 12 Championship Game and what's ahead later in the month, I'd love to get some sponsors lined up to help alleviate those. Does anyone have connections to businesses or individuals that would be interested in coming on board as advertisers in the short-term, and potentially in the long-term if they like the response? All title game coverage would be sponsored by said business (i.e. The [insert business name] Ultimate Preview this Friday, the Offensive and Defensive Spotlights, sponsored by [insert business name]. For the potential CFP game or bowl game, we'd do a similar lineup of business-sponsored content.

You can reach me at CycloneReport@outlook.com to discuss details.

Thanks!

….#1 seed in the Midwest (played at Wichita) when the new Bracketology comes out on Tuesday? 🤔

Was the motto my local HS team used this year. They had never won a playoff game until this year and went on to beat West Hancock for the title.
I felt the 44 years of being an ISU fan the same way. Why not us? I do have high hopes for today simply because I am wearing shin guards, a nut cup, shoulder pads, and a helmet. I am an Iowa State fan I am used to disappointment. But, I am confident our boys are coming in ready to take home a workman like win! GO CLONES

The Cyclones and Sun Devils kick off around 11 a.m. in the Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium. The game will be carried on ABC. I’ll have the live updates from the press box in the thread below.
