Illinois fans are furious, I mean FURIOUS, over the “no means no” chants from the Morehead State Band directed at Terrance Shannon. Multiple f bombs and middle fingers directed their way.
Super happy to announce I’m moving (back) to Ames! I took a job I couldn’t refuse and I get to call Central Iowa my true home again.
I am going to miss Omaha immensely, but will visit often.
ISU continues to be a special place. There are moments where it’s laughed at, where it’s mocked, and where it’s doubted, but moments like tonight are why we know it’s a rock solid place in our hearts, in our minds, and in our souls. Long live Jack Trice.

Hey Cyclone fans, I know
@ISUCoachFen
is too humble to say this, but I will: his
@CycloneWBB
team deserves to play in a full arena.
This fanbase is very good at showing up for other sports, so it’s time to show up for this young, talented team who has genuinely elite potential.
Iowa State is having its best basketball season since the early 2000s. You’re allowed to be happy sometimes, Cyclone fans, and I hope you choose to be happy about this run.
This Wazzu fan thinks the real Farmageddon should be ISU vs WSU since Whitman County, Washington has better wheat than Kansas.
@steven_mcginley
Corn is still better than wheat tho.
I don’t have any ill will toward TCU, but I really think the Big 12 should take the ticket revenue amount ISU would have made on Saturday and take it out of TCU’s annual media rights payout. Home games, especially on a Saturday, matter in Ames
At the end of the day, the DEI Center at ISU was a resource center that helped students succeed. It didn't force any views on anyone, it didn't make any straight white male less successful, it just made Iowa State a more welcoming and prosperous place. Terrible move.
Pat McAfee reportedly doesn't have a signed deal to return to College GameDay with the season around the corner.
McAfee not returning to GameDay would be an absolute disaster for ESPN.
DETAILS:
The "ISU should play Drake" talking point is going to get overplayed this week, so here is my take:
Play it every year in Wells Fargo Arena. Give Drake season ticket holders first seat preference, then let ISU season ticket holders fill the rest.
Then sell to public.
Conference tournaments don’t matter **that** much, but the ability to have a virtual home game 3.5 hours from campus is something I take a lot of pride in as a Cyclone fan.
Ok Cyclone fans, the crowd at Jack Trice kind of fell out of it quick against Kansas early as the team fell into a points deficit. We gotta bring it more on Saturday, often, regardless of the score. That means more than being "loud" on third down on defense.
Prevailing thought lately…
Every sport at Iowa State is in a solid spot. I don’t think that point can be stressed enough.
Now that we’re at this solid foundation though… which one is going to rise up and truly do something great?
It’s time.
Sigh, I’m so upset. Iowa State is losing a huge civil rights advocacy structure with this move. There are people in this state, and at ISU, who don’t feel included or welcome for being who they are. The DEI office was there to help these students.
I never thought I'd ever be cyberbullied at 33, let alone in the most middle school of ways, like I did on Friday. Never underestimate the power of ego and narcissism mixed with alcohol, folks.
Thanks to everyone that played a huge role in bringing Racer Arena back to life tonight! Some special moments in their tonight! We truly have an elite fan base!! Thanks for all your support! Special thanks to all the former players and coaches that came back to campus!

I'm always confused when working class people in rural America act as though working class people in cities matter less than them. That's effectively what these types of posts/graphics suggest.
