My membership to CyclonesTV is up for renewal on Friday. Now that most/all of the non-televised games are on ESPN+, is there value in retaining my CyclonesTV membership? Thanks in advance.

Surprised there's not a thread on this, but it's believed on Twitter that Proctor is flipping to Bama and Iowa fans are losing their minds.

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head football coach Matt Campbell announced today that Reid Kagy (KEG-ee) will join the Cyclone staff as Director of Football Strength and Conditioning.

Kagy, a former Iowa State assistant strength coach, spent the last two seasons as Boise State’s Director of Sports Performance.

“Reid and I have a phenomenal relationship, having recruited him out of high school to college and watched his transition and journey to being a head strength coach,” Campbell said. “He knows what the core values and tenets of being a football program that has the ability to transform. I think he’ll have a huge impact on our program, not just on the field, but in a multitude of different ways.”

Kagy joined the staff at Boise State in January of 2021 and helped the Broncos to a pair of bowl games in his two seasons, including a spot in the Frisco Bowl in 2022.

The 2022 Broncos went 10-4 this season and won the Frisco Bowl, while also earning a spot in the Mountain West Championship game. Boise State outgained their opponents by more than 1,200 yards (102.2 ypg) and dominated the line of scrimmage with 27 sacks and just 14 allowed.

Prior to Boise State, Kagy spent two seasons at Oregon. In his role as assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Ducks, Kagy helped the team win back-to-back Pac-12 titles and the 2020 Rose Bowl, in addition to an appearance in the 2021 Fiesta Bowl where they faced Iowa State.

The Bloomville, Ohio, native, was an assistant for the Iowa State strength and conditioning program from 2016-18. The Cyclones won eight games in each of his final two seasons, winning the 2017 Liberty Bowl and reaching the 2018 Alamo Bowl.

Kagy spent two years as an assistant strength and conditioning coach and one as a graduate assistant coach at Cincinnati. He worked with baseball, football, women’s golf, men’s soccer, swimming and track and field.

He was also a strength and conditioning intern at Toledo (2013) and UAB (2012) prior to his arrival at Cincinnati.

Kagy is a 2012 Ohio State graduate. He transferred to Ohio State after playing football at Mount Union for two seasons (2007 and 2008). He was a member of Mount Union’s 2008 Division III national championship team.

The BP thing is fascinating. The SF sports media is in disbelief. The good person we knew is shocking to them, but in a good way. Like George Bailey as QB. The best ambassador for ISU ever. This is worth the time. Listen.

Does anybody here know if ESPN+ allows simultaneous streams from different locations? I'm out of town this week, she's still at home. We have only one username and password.

Ames, Iowa – With a winter storm watch for Central Iowa in effect from Wednesday evening through late Friday, Iowa State’s Dec. 21 men’s basketball game vs. Omaha and its Dec. 22 women’s basketball game vs. Drake have been cancelled due to potential severe weather conditions, and will not be made up, the Cyclone Athletics Department announced Tuesday morning.

“After consulting with both Omaha and Drake, we believe that cancelling both games today will afford the student-athletes from all four teams the opportunity to depart ahead of the storm and return safely to their homes to spend the holidays with their families,” Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said.

Fans who had purchased single-game tickets for either game will be issued a refund by the ISU Athletics Ticket Office.

With the cancellations, the Cyclone basketball teams will break for the holidays before opening their 18-game Big 12 slates on Dec. 31. The Iowa State men will host No. 12 Baylor at 1 p.m. on ESPNU, while the 14th-ranked Cyclone women’s team will travel to Texas Tech for a 2 p.m. contest on ESPN+.

Bob Thompson former Fox Sports President says on Twitter that the Pacs new TV deal will probably be about the same as the Big 12 and could be slightly higher per team. He added if the Big 12 had waited, they might have gotten more money, but he understands why they moved ahead. He’s a good one to follow. Big 12 $31.7 million average. Pac projected $30-35 million depending on what they do with Pac Network.

I’m hearing the new Strength & Conditioning Director is indeed Boise State’s Reid Kagy. Announcement should be made soon. He’s already meeting with members of the 2023 recruiting class virtually.

Rowdy Beers? The only way he could’ve been a better fit for the Cyclone Football program is if his name was Icecold Buschlite.

I'm actually expecting a little bit more intrigue for the start of this season's fall signing period. I'll have all the signings as they come in first-thing Wednesday morning. For a rundown of a few of the storylines, check out this link:

What to look for as fall signing period begins Wednesday

It's amazing to me how much Brock's game has improved. He is now able to go under center and run multiple plays from there.

I heard through a friend that he D committed has anybody heard that? He supposedly went to Oregon last weekend.

Sam's Club is $2.53 and Pronto in nearby Homer, NE is $2.39

I'm not one of those that think there are too many bowls. The more the merrier I say. Don't like 'em, don't watch 'em. I just think all teams should get the extra practice time if they want it. They obviously could use it. Anyway, 8-4 Marshall defeated 6-6 UConn 28-14. The part that sucks is I'd bet ISU could beat either team. Probably soundly. Man if we coulda, shoulda snuck out 2 more wins we keep our bowl streal alive which is a nice little recruiting nugget and adds to Coach Campbell's laurels. Some fans could have gone on a bowl vacation and others enjoyed watching at a bar or their couch.
