Iowa State’s entrance video is pretty cool. It shows intersplices action from this season with footage of many of the greatest Cyclones in history. The song that plays over the action is Saliva’s Ladies and Gentlemen. The opening lyrics of the song describe the Cyclone season, but not in the… Read More »An Explosion of Catastrophe
Last Friday was Brandon’s final home game. It was the first time that I’ve been to a Boone High football game since I graduated high school. It was an interesting experience.

Earlier this year I started a group blog known as The Sports Proletariat. Little has actually transpired there since I started the blog, but every now and again, somebody lets slip something brilliant over there. What lies below was written by Russell Kennerly.

Before delving further into the Cyclone game, I need to post a website.

Today is Sara’s birthday. Rather than post a bunch of pictures of Sara for Sara’s birthday, I’m going to take a slightly different tact. Yesterday I wrote about Sara auditioning to become a Photography 139 Photo Assistant. She got high marks for having a big purse. One of her few… Read More »Happy Birthday Sara!

A few more pictures from the Kent State game. So now the Cyclones are 2-0. It might be about time to start planning that Independence Bowl road trip.
On Saturday the Cyclones were able to avenge one of their losses from last year. Once again it was a night game, so there are few images, but I’ll share a few. Although Iowa State did right a wrong, their performance was hardly impressive. Well, it was impressive at times… Read More »Retribution (Part 1)
