Cyclone Sports Journal: October 2014

http://cyclonesportsjournal.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Sunday, October 12, 2014. The Cyclones were better on offense against Toledo, and all but two of their possessions went for multiple first downs and chances to score. But it was in the red zone the Cyclones almost lost the game. Had the three first half field goals been touchdowns, ISU probably leads at the half and wins going away. Instead, we all had to hold our breath during an onside kick try. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Cyclone Sports Journal: December 2014

http://cyclonesportsjournal.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Saturday, December 06, 2014. So the football season ends like this:. Two wins that could have been losses. Five losses that could have been wins. Five losses that were over at the opening kick. Few Cyclone fans expect to go 10-2, but having a puncher's chance in most games will keep the crowd happy. Winning a majority of the close ones will, too. Close out a couple of the games where you had leads in the fourth quarter and the grumbling isn't as loud. Just thro...

Cyclone Sports Journal: September 2014

http://cyclonesportsjournal.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Sunday, September 14, 2014. It's wonderful when your team finds a way to win a game the other team isn't interested in finishing. Many of the predictions were predicated on "Iowa State can't finish, so Iowa should win", so it's nice to put that to bed for a little while. I find it funny that it's now Iowa City that can only get a sellout when the visiting team sells a lot of tickets, since that was an issue that dogged Cyclone fans for years. Make no mistake- N...

Cyclone Sports Journal: February 2015

http://cyclonesportsjournal.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Saturday, February 21, 2015. Now Things Get Interesting. Down three ranked teams in a row, the last two on the road? You intrigue me Cyclones, you really do. Running the table now looks like more of a possibility than it did two weeks ago. Too bad KU doesn't have many losable games left. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Half court teams. Slow them on the road and I will consider myself a believer. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Now Things Get Interesting.

Cyclone Sports Journal: March 2014

http://cyclonesportsjournal.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Saturday, March 01, 2014. Too Much and Not Enough. The Cyclones have a certain offensive rhythm when they are successful, efficient, and winning. I can't put my finger on exactly how many passes it involves, but there is a sweet spot in their offense. Again- it's a good problem to have, but its interesting to watch it ebb and flow during the course of a game. Bring Back Mirrored Schedules. Back before TV completely blew up scheduling rhythm, games were usually ...

Cyclone Sports Journal: December 2013

http://cyclonesportsjournal.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Monday, December 30, 2013. Bowl Season May Be Ugly. I don't like the match-ups most of the B12 teams face this year. While I don't expect a complete wipeout, looking bad while finishing 2-3 wouldn't surprise me. Texas will struggle to keep up with Oregon. Ditto Tech versus Arizona State. Baylor will get a serious challenge from The Best Program Nobody Knows aka Central Florida. Bama will crush the Sooners. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Monday, December 16, 2013.

Cyclone Sports Journal: August 2014

http://cyclonesportsjournal.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Sunday, August 24, 2014. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;. And so we being another football season in Ames, staring down another insanely hard schedule. Literally no gimmes when you include a favorite to win the Big 101112 West/Legends Division, a favorite to win the MAC and the three-time defending FCS champ. Whew. But if the OL has to start using backups for extended snaps, look out below. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Countdown to Football Frustration. Next Frustrating Hoops Victory. Published on 10.31.2005 by Hoya Suxa. It is the rare occasion that something appears on this blog that doesn't, in some tangential yet rational way, relate to Syracuse athletics and/or my personal plight in supporting the university. But today is a special day. A special day indeed. Over the last five days or so, the University of Connecticut. Has placed itself squarely between a rock and a hard place. And I love it. Maybe Wiggins had gro...

Cyclone Sports Journal: July 2015

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Since rumors of expansion has risen again, here is who I would invite if I was King:. BYU- large, loyal, national, underrated fan base. Mega eyeballs. Scheduling around Sundays is not a deal-breaker. Cincinnati- Big media town, travel partner/rival for West Virginia. Central Florida- Every school gets to travel to (and recruit) Florida! Tulane- Every school gets to travel to NOLA! Friday, July 03, 2015. Post Fred, On to Prohm. Better to ...

Cyclone Sports Journal: May 2014

http://cyclonesportsjournal.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Random thoughts about Iowa State Athletics. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. The White Whale Arrives. As I wrote at this time last year, I wasn't opposed to the idea of bowling in the south end of Jack Trice, I just didn't think it made financial sense. But Pollard, the mad genius that he is, has found a way to make the numbers work. If the reality looks in any way similar to the renderings, Trice may officially become a place you don't want to come play- and that will be great fun. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
