Make that win #3, thank you very much. Yes, the lowly but late-improving Iowa State Cyclones upset another visiting team from the Big 12 North, defeating Colorado 31-28 at Jack Trice Stadium yesterday.
And what an impressive win it was: ISU trailed 21-0 in the first half but came back to score three TDs in the […]

Somewhat soothing in the wake of Wisconsin’s loss, the alma mater Cyclones got their first Big 12 win of the season after defeating the K-State Wildcats 31-20. I think all their home games should be televised on Versus, that seems to be when Iowa State performs its best.
Chris Singleton was the big stud of the […]

That’s right you heard it here first. This Saturday the Iowa State Cyclone football team will emerge victorious in Columbia against the Missouri Tigers. Do you think I’ve gone insane? Do you think I’m mad? Au contraire my little friend.

I went on a vision quest this week, and when my mind was free from thought, the […]

Adding insult to my injury yesterday with the Badgers getting beat up in Happy Valley, the alma mater Cyclones got mauled by Texas 56-3. Sweet Jebus! Thee points was all Iowa State could muster. After the Longhorns blitzkrieg was complete, Bret Meyer told reporter, “Obviously we’re frustrated.” Yes, frustrated with you and your pick six […]

This weekend while the Badgers are trying to get back their mojo against Penn State, the alma mater Iowa State will be hosting Texas at Jack Trice Stadium. The lowly Cyclones are 1-5 this year with the single win coming against the Iowa Hawkeyes (cue Nelson: “Ha Ha!”), so it’s not hard to imagine the […]

After watching Bret Culbertson make a 28-yard field goal to give Iowa State a 15-13 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes, I just have to ask: Why wasn’t Al Michaels doing the play-by-play, because this game was nothing short of miraculous.
No one thought the Cyclones had a chance in this one, not the media, not the […]

The weekend is upon us once again and this is a big Satuday for college football. USC travels to Nebraska (a no win situation as far as I’m concerned), Michigan plays Notre Dame (someone’s gotta win, right?) and the Badgers play against The Citadel (Wisconsin wins easily, but fans lose because the game is on […]

Sweet sons of Donnie Duncan, what is happening to the Iowa State Cyclones? The Gene Chizik era is starting to look less like a revival and more like a Jim Walden-inspired nightmare. The Clones got taken to woodshed by Northern Iowa last night 24-13; the defense got chewed up by UNI quarterback Eric Sanders (23 […]

Last week in his debut as Iowa State head football coach, Gene Chizik suffered an ignoble defeat against Kent State. Tomorrow the Cyclones play UNI and the Des Moines Register ran a story today about why the Panthers winning the game would not be considered an upset.
Despite what the billboards say and what Jamie […]

What in the name of Johnny Majors is going on out there? Here I was all prepared to write some beautiful prose about the glorious debut of the Gene Chizik era at Iowa State and then the Cyclones had to go and lose . . . to Kent State. Now, the Golden Flashes might be […]
