tweeting extremely unimportant Cyclone content and it’s the most embarrassing part of my personality

Last week had some questionable coaching and weird things that made me hopeful it was a blip. This week has been even more maddening. Going to have some soul-searching to do on the bye week, and you have to do it knowing your season is basically over.

Field rushed by the opposing crowd two games in a row and I’m starting to think we’re not good enough to get field rushed lmao

I think I can honestly say that was the worst call that has negatively affected my team in a one-score game where I don’t blame the loss on the call at all. The miscues, poor play calling, and general incompetence was far more frustrating than any missed call.

Sports are special because I just cried at a video of a Mumford and Sons show being stopped mid-song because the Milwaukee crowd erupted when the Brewers won. An arena full of humans already high on life, getting another jolt of happiness. Sports and music can save us.

Love the new preseason/postseason rankings in the team history section of kenpom.com (back to 2012). Gives you an excellent snapshot of how teams/coaches perform vs. expectations. I would say the Iowa State data makes a lot of sense.

I love the October tradition of scrambling to connect names to faces and jerseys so I'm not massively confused watching my favorite college basketball team in early November.

Brent Venables coached 18 games as Oklahoma's head coach in the Big 12. Half of those games (9) were one-possession games, and he lost 8 (44%) of his Big 12 games.

This is one billion times funnier than the Big 12 tweet that set them off. They leave the conference thinking they’re above everyone, their coach takes a shot at the Big 12, and then the Big 12 takes ONE lighthearted jab at them and they’re sobbing into their pillow.

The absolute best thing Cyclone fans can do at this stage is abandon any hope for a Big 12 title run, sell out JTS for the next three games and get some quality wins protecting home turf, and set yourself up for a shot at back-to-back 10-win seasons. Even that is optimistic.
