Clone Chronicles lays the NW loss at Greg's feet. My only quibble is it is November- some of the players are still wearing "Hello, my name is" stickers. This can be fixed. Peter

I suspect we will see others use Northwestern's slow-down strategy to try and take the Cyclones out of their comfort zone. I expect the Iowa game will be hard to watch. First team to 50 wins. Better do some work on your half-court sets, boys. Peter

There is much chatter on the Interwebs about CU's TD as time expired to cover the spread. One poster recalled how Hawkins, with a win over ISU locked up in '02, threw to the end zone to run it up. Up 5 at the time, an pick 6 would have lost the game for him. It brings back memories of the ...

We may have something fun on our hands. In dispatching the Billikins ISU continued its undefeated start, and overcame a bad first half where the offense wasn't in sync. The 13-0 second half run that won it was driven by salty defense. SLU failed to score on 9 straight possessions during the ...

Before we allow ourselves to get glum over having to accept a trip to Shreveport, let's review where we were in August: - ISU had a rookie head coach - Was coming off a 2-10 season - Owned a 9 game conference losing streak - Owned a 9 game losing streak to the Big 12 South - Owned a 13 Big 12 ...

Its nice to end an ugly streak with an emphatic win. We don't know if Iowa State is good, but I'm pretty sure they aren't bad. Kudos all around. Wish I could have watched it. Peter

Choking a player is a serious charge. It's a long way from "He makes us run too many laps". Peter

I'm never one to pull a fire alarm after a basketball game in November, but I am very curious to see how things play out tonight. Given the infusion of athleticism our Cyclones have received, a win at Drake should probably happen. But funny things happen in November on the road. A good ...

It's a weak effort- nothing like the classic "FireRonZook.com" in his Florida days, which is still active BTW - but it is worth noting. http://firedanhawk.blogspot.com/ Peter

The best line of the day: While Hawkins was having a time-out chat with the officials, some clever fans yelled out: "Coach- they ain't hiring!" Peter

Before the season started, the defense stated its goal was to average less than 20 points per game. So far, the math is pretty simple- the 6 ISU wins have held the opponents under 17, but in losses have given up 24+, usually 35+. It seems that either the schemes work or they don't. Today they ...

Yes, today was disappointing, but in a "We aren't as good as we hoped two weeks ago" way. Remember, in August most of us were predicting 4 or 5 wins total. We're already a little ahead of schedule. Yet after today, CU looks a little tougher, and Mizzou a little easier. Crazy. Peter

I was secretly hoping for horizontal snow this weekend to play with Okie State's head. Instead the Cowboys will be enjoy shirt-sleeve weather in Ames this week. There goes one potential home field advantage. Perhaps a full noisy stadium will make up for it. Peter

When I heard Reggie had his appendix out, I didn't expect him back until the bowl game, if ISU got to one. He's coming back a bit sooner. Medicine has improved a bit since I was last paying attention. P

It's nice that we get a date with ABC this week, and the extra cash that comes with it. The rest of the Big 12 can check us out. While I wish the CU game was televised, it also happens to be one of the weakest games on the B12 slate that week: Saturday, Nov. 14 Texas at Baylor Colorado at Iowa ...
