Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard called the entire fanbase slobs for the purpose of not selling beer to the entirety of Jack Trice Stadium. The result is that following a tough loss at Oklahoma State the fanbase is now even more unhappy. Men's basketball preceded the loss at Oklahoma State with a loss at Houston, sending them on a two game skid and likely putting a 2 seed out of reac...

The Cyclones gear up for their biggest basketball game of the season since their showdown against Auburn when they travel to Houston to play the Cougars. It's a fire vs ice matchup with Iowa State's offensive firepower against Houston's lock down defense. The Twister Sisters also prepare for a big game against Baylor. The Clones have yet to get a win against a ranked opponent in women&...

Iowa State men's basketball has just hit its first 3 game losing streak in 2 seasons now that losses to K-State and Kansas have fallen upon the stagnant Cyclones. With the K-State loss also went Iowa State's 29 game home winning streak, and it's back to square one tomorrow. The twister sisters are still inconsistent on the court, but recent performances by Arianna Jackson and Kelsey Jo...

Tomorrow marks the day of Jerome Tang's return to Hilton Coliseum, where he most certainly will not be met with a warm welcome one year following the baseless cheating allegations against the Iowa State team, cursing out the Cyclone managers, and calling Tamin Lipsey the biggest flopper in the league. Iowa State also tends to get a little extra rowdy during white out games, and this happens to...

Iowa State men's basketball lost Milan Momcilovic nine days ago to injury, and in the three games that have been played since, the bench has stepped up, with Demarion Watson claiming more minutes and Curtis Jones stepping into a starting role, leading to wins in two out of the three games since then. Iowa State women's basketball remains hit or miss, struggling against West Virginia over t...

It's time for the Cyclones to step up to the plate at Camping World Stadium as they enter the Pop Tarts Bowl against the Miami Hurricanes. The Canes slate up as a tough, strength on strength matchup led by one of the best passer-receiver combos in the country with Cam Ward and Xavier Restrepo. Men's basketball enters Big 12 play in only a few days, and the Cyclones get to enter conference play aga...

The Iowa State football team has landed four players from the transfer portal who should be immediate contributors on both offense and defense, especially since next year's team will lack playmakers Darien Porter, Jaylin Noel, and Jayden Higgins. Cyclone men's basketball had a relatively quiet week and will have one more week of relative quiet before things heat up in conference play with a trip t...

Cyclone men's basketball finally won at Carver Hawkeye Arena for the first time in ten years. The last time it was done Georges Niang and Naz Long were still playing, and it was the last year of Fred Hoiberg's "Hoiball" era. Now TJ Otzelberger is 3-1 against the team out east, secured ISU's first road win of the season, and has his team in the pole position heading into Big 12 play. Women's basket...

Matt and guest host Cody from BleavInISU react to the bracket released by the College Football Playoff committee. They discuss who got good draws, who got tough scenarios, whether the committee got the seeding right, and ultimately, who will win the first ever twelve team playoff.

With a win against Kansas State last week and a little bit of help from BYU, the Cyclones have made it to the Big 12 title game where they will be playing Arizona State. Arizona State just suffered a major injury on the offensive side of the ball so with Jordyn Tyson out, will it open an opportunity for Iowa State to claim their first Big 12 championship? Across the rest of college football, there...

The cardiac Clones are doing their worst in the last week with close contest after close contest, eking out wins in some sports while losing heartbreakers in others. Football needs to take momentum from their win against Utah last weekend into tomorrows Farmageddon showdown with Kansas State. No game for the Iowa State football program has ever had bigger implications than the game tomorrow. This...

Iowa State football is back in the win column following a sound victory against Cincinnati in Jack Trice Stadium, keeping the door open for a trip to the Big 12 title game. In the way stands BYU, Arizona State, and Colorado, and the Cyclones need to win out and hope for a little chaos to have a chance at the Big 12 title and a trip to the College Football Playoff Cyclone men's basketball is gearin...

The Iowa State men's and women's basketball teams are both out to hot starts, albeit against competition that is wildly inferior. Needless to say, both teams are undefeated. Soon enough they will get their first real tests, but not this week. While basketball has been winning, football has dropped games for the last two weeks, and has a chance to turn their momentum around and recover their season...

You can almost have it all as an Iowa State fan. Football is on pace for a historic season, and wrestling, men's basketball, and women's basketball are all ranked in the top ten and beginning their respective seasons. On the other end of the spectrum is volleyball, who is currently failing to meet expectations. Follow the Cornfield Sports Pod on Twitter @CsportsPod Find Matt @SFMattISU Find Blake...

The media and the Texas Tech fanbase would have you believe that the Red Raiders, led by Tahj Brooks, are a formidable opponent who is prepared to tear into any opponent they face, but are they really? They're coming north in November into the cold, and they're flailing as a team, a perfect opportunity for the Cyclones to advance to 8-0. Cyclone volleyball has gone stone cold, with a gut wrenching...

Rocco Becht's heroic efforts at the end of the UCF game helps the Cyclones stay undefeated and keeps all eyes on us nationally. They head into this bye week ranked 10th on the AP poll. Volleyball continues to struggle but has a breath of fresh air sweeping the Red Raiders. They will continue on Sunday against the Wildcats Bill Fennelly and the women's basketball team begins the season next week in...

The Cornfield Sports Pod's first round of rankings for the 2024 college football season

Iowa State stands alone in terms of athletic dominance across the board. They are the only school with a top 10 team in football, men's basketball, and women's basketball, and that's only the beginning of the story as the Cyclones place themselves at the top of every discussion for the 2024-25 athletic year. Cyclone football is off to their first 6-0 start since 1938 after a solid performance in M...

The Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk series is off to a hot start for the cardinal and gold donning school from Ames. It began Saturday with a dramatic come from behind victory led by a stellar second half performance from Rocco Becht, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, Darien Porter, and the freshman kicker who stole the show with seconds remaining on the scoreboard, Kyle Konrardy. The Cyclones didn't stop there...

Tomorrow marks the biggest day on the calendar for the state of Iowa as tensions will run high, many beers will be consumed, meat will be smoked, and one school will hoist the Cy-Hawk trophy on their shoulders as they walk out of Kinnick Stadium? Will Iowa State effectively be able to gash the team out east's defense with Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel? Or will the lack of Caleb Bacon result i...

College sports have returned for the remainder of the 2024 calendar year, and that means that the Cyclones are ready to hit the gridiron at Jack Trice Stadium and the court at Hilton Coliseum. That means it's time for the return of Matt and Blake, who will guide you through the Big 12 conference football win totals, a game by game breakdown of Iowa State's schedule, and a prediction of who...

We don't exactly compare the Minnesota Twins and the St Louis Cardinals all that often, but one thing that can be said about both teams is that they are incredibly streaky, each having runs recently where they were really hot and each team also having a seven game losing streak mixed in. The Western Conference Finals look like they're going to be every bit as entertaining as the semifinals...
