Thinking about UCF season tickets

They have some good prices, and it is about an hour drive. I’m sure prices will increase when they officially join the conference. They have some $125 and $175 options. And a decent home schedule this year. Georgia Tech, Louisville, NC State, Cincinnati, Temple, SMU, and Navy.

Hopefully, ISU plays here the first year.

I wouldn’t doubt they get a boost in sales from other schools alumni that are transplants.

FOOTBALL Recent position change in the trenches

Login to view embedded media
When i was writing my offensive line spring preview last week, Anthony Smith was listed as an offensive lineman. Now he's listed as a defensive lineman, which is probably a good move to add another scholarship player there. The top two slots are pretty well set with Lee and Orange, so this move will add some competition further down the depth chart with Howard Brown.

NCAA Wrestling Tournament

Here are my predictions for the tournament.
133 - will win a few matches but lose in the blood round.
141 - same as above.
149 - will be a All American. Him wrestling close matches scares me. But I think he will get it done.
157 - will win a couple matches.
165 - Tough weight class but I see him winning the title.
184 - All American
197 - not sure about this weight class, is he healthy etc. If he is, he will be All American again. If not, he will be out of the tournament quickly.
285 - All American, has tough time against the big guys but I think he can get it done.

So in all. 4-5 All Americans which is better than the 3 we had last year. Should finish just out of the top 5 team wise.

Go Cyclones!!

FOOTBALL RECRUITING ***Unofficial visitors for day #2 of spring ball - 3/24***

Not as many confirmed for today, as this was kind of a late change in Iowa State's spring practice calendar. Due to some scheduling conflicts, Saturday's practice was moved up to today. Here's the group that's on hand!

Login to view embedded media Another one of Iowa State's committed players in 2024 makes it to town at the onset of spring practice. On Thursday it was Linn-Mar tight end Keaton Roskop, and today defensive end Jace Gilbert travels to Ames from Hartland (Wisc.) Arrowhead High School. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound junior shut things down early in his process to become the Cyclones' first commitment in his class over the winter.

He redshirted in Council Bluffs this fall and would still have four seasons of eligibility remaining. ISU likely giving Manske a look as more of a 'veteran' preferred walk-on to fill the role of recently-retired Ashton Cook.
