Covering Iowa State athletics with enough humor to keep our sanity.
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 […]

Last Time Out Iowa State easily handled Grambling State 102-62 at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones shot 55% from the field and 38% from 3. Joshua Jefferson led the way with 20 points on 8-10 shooting with 8 rebounds. 5 other players finished in double figures, including the freshman Killyan Toure and Jamarion Batemon. Both had […]

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 […]

College wrestling season is among us and Iowa State is looking to win their second trophy of the Kevin Dresser era. After a wildly disappointing campaign last season, the Cyclones are ranked top 4 as both a tournament team and a dual team. That is due in large part to having 7 All-Americans on the […]

Iowa State Defensive Line Again, perhaps a softball answer here, but the Iowa State defensive line is going to need to be on it’s A-game this week and probably every week after now (and every week really in conference play) with the injury pileup in the secondary. Getting pressure on the quarterback and forcing whoever […]

Iowa State Running Back Room Carson Hansen and Abu Sama have clearly been the most consistent group for the Cyclone offense so far this year. While they’ve had their own battles with injuries and low output games, it almost seems that even when one of them struggles, the other one picks up the load and […]

Man oh man… What Went Wrong Passing Offense I don’t really know what to say at this point. We are now 9 games into a 12 game season… the diagnosis simply cannot be “they’re not on the same page” anymore. We’re well beyond that expiration date with the communication, or lack thereof, between the quarterback […]

The beginning of the game just felt like leftovers from the BYU game. A great start to a drive, it then stalls due to sloppiness, and it’s finished off with a special teams fail. Each team traded field goals in the first quarter before Iowa State got on track, thanks to come pentlaites, and scored […]
