If there was EVER a time to play ISU this is it. They will have a difficult time coming down off the emotional high of dismantling Purdue and getting focused on the next task at hand, even if it is an in state rival. That's just human nature. We will see if they can deliver a performance like...

If Creighton spent money as you said and is "likely the roster of a barely top 100 team" that may speak volumes right there. If they have "more money than most programs including Iowa and Iowa State and I doubt it's close" then perhaps Greg thinks they should be spending more of that money and...

Heard the following from a source: McDermott is fed up with Freeman and lack of rebounding (had excellent production in limited minutes here) Dix mother is seriously ill and the impetus for Josh transferring close to home. Mc Dermott is also fed up with the NIL landscape and may be stepping...

We once ate at Gorat's in Omaha and Warren Buffet was right across from us.

He had others. At Ohio State (the loss where Fran publicly called out Uthoff for running from the ball down the stretch). At Hilton and vs Cyclones in Carver. He had a few.

Casey's is up there for me. Little Ceasar's not so much. Though I do like Detroit style (rectangular) pizzas. Even the ones you get at Costco and Wal Mart are passable.

Mike Gessell had his share. He just couldn't shoot consistently. Bryce Cartwright from Fran's early teams.

This may change by the time I'm done typing this, but for now in no particular order David Bowie-Ziggy Stardust Husker Du-Zen Arcade The Pixies-Dolittle Joy Division-Unknown Pleasures The Pogues-Rum, Sodomy and the Lash Also saw the Springsteen movie tonight (Deliver Me From Nowhere) Never...

Gessell had more than enough hops, but don't remember any alley oops to him. I'll vote Andre Banks.

Pagliai's Pizza and Pizza Ranch broasted chicken:)

I've been his harshest critic in earlier years but it might be X. He sets the tone for the whole defense. Aaron Graves deserves mention as well.

For those who dont know or aren't familiar with Madison, Mickey's Dairy Bar is Bucky's version of Iowa city's Hamburg Inn and just as good. I would rate them dead even and both have the best milkshakes. Well worth a visit especially breakfast. As for the Mold-A-Rama machines at the Vilas Park...

It was good timing for Dan McCarney though. His prime years at Iowa State dove tailed perfectly with the Hayden/Kirk transition and he recruited Iowa accordingly. Had he been coach at any other time in the last 50 years he would have met the same fate as every other Clone coach sans Campbell...

Which makes it even more head scratching that they bounced Paul Chryst in mid season a few years ago. The donors must of threatened to barricade Camp Randall, close Mickey's Dairy Bar, abolish the weekly farmer's market, remove cheese curds from Culver's menus, and destroy the souvenir molding...

Would love an eleven AM start. And weather reminiscent of 2008 Penn State. Will probably get neither.
