Covering Iowa State athletics with enough humor to keep our sanity.
The Cyclones were able to remain undefeated after a one point victory over the St. John’s Red Storm. But at what cost? Most fans knew this one was going to be a physical matchup, the starters had a combined 17 fouls. However, Lipsey getting injured in the final minutes of this game might be the […]

Domination is another way to put it, as the Cyclones handled Kansas at home, putting the losing streak firmly in the rearview mirror. From the jump Iowa State moved the ball easily, especially on the ground. The opening drive resulted in a touchdown powered by Carson Hansen, and the Cyclones would follow that up with […]

AT LONG LAST Way back in 2007, the modern block I-State logo was born to a mostly tepid response among Cyclone fans. Jamie Pollard came to its defense on numerous occasions as its function as a “timeless” logo that the athletic department could embrace for decades, but the best compliment most fans seemed to be […]

This is it! The last football game in Jack Trice Stadium for the 2025 Iowa State Cyclones.

If you could draw up a dream start for the Cyclones in a matchup against the Drake Bulldogs, a team that has provided some struggles for Iowa State in recent years, I imagine it would include junior Arianna Jackson connecting on four triples in the first quarter in a 25-5 explosion over the opening frame. […]

I need to put credit where credit is due, and that is the defense showed up in Fort Worth against the Horned Frogs a few weeks back. Iowa State looked solid, had very few broken coverages, played with grit, and got this amazing sound bite that makes me hope Jon Heacock never leaves. Iowa State […]

5-0 Start Not exactly an unexpected start for the Twister Sisters as they started the year with St. Thomas, Southern, Sacred Heart, Valparaiso, and Norfolk State, but it’s how the Cyclones have gone about this start that has everyone excited. There was maybe some question as to how this team and this offense would account […]

And by big stage, I mean the 3,500 seat Sanford Pentagon, which was a 99.8% Cyclone crowd. Iowa State had two non-sensical wins against Fairleigh-Dickenson and Grambling State before their first contest with a P5 opponent, and a solid one at that. Mississippi State was a tournament team last year and returned their best player […]

Ding dong, the streak is dead What Went Wrong Passing Game We are well past this being a noticeable problem for Iowa State… We are approaching Defcon 1 levels here with Rocco and the passing game. If it’s not a missed throw, it’s a drop. If it’s not a drop, it’s a wrong route. If […]
