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.

I'll believe it I see him in uniform.

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

I worked at SMU and they have $$ behind them that NIL provides a funnel to get the players they want. I would imagine the same for ASU. When SMU was formally admitted to the ACC they raised $100 in the first week. I fear that as long as NIL is the wild, wild west, the Cyclones are going to have a tough time competing at the top level. I know we went 10-2. But I fear we caught lightning in a bottle. Will this year be the acception going forward?

The Cyclones and Tigers tip off around 5:00 this afternoon at Hilton Coliseum. The game will be carried on ESPN+. @Herdcyclones will have the live court side updates in the thread below.

After a brutal and obvious targeting,
The ASU coach had the gaul to object to the call.

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?
