The golden month of college sports season

    It is now early November and that means college football is nearing the end of it's regular season while college basketball season tipped off today. My Iowa State Cyclones currently sit at 6-3 with three games to play against Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and TCU. They could still make the Big 12 Conference championship game but that would require:

1. Winning all three of their remaining games
2. Baylor dropping another game and at least one of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State finishing 7-2 in conference.

    In Iowa State's most recent contest they defeated that snake in the grass known as the Texas Longhorns by a score of 30-7, marking the third straight victory over Texas and possibly the last as conference opponents. Soon Texas will be heading to the Southeastern Conference in pursuit of more money because if there is one thing the University of Texas athletic department lacks it's money.

    God willing, Kansas will beat Texas this Saturday and put them on the brink of missing a bowl game.

Horns Down!

    Today was the first day of college basketball season. While the Iowa State men's team will have to win me back from last season's 2-20 disaster the women's team has rather lofty expectations.

    They began their regular season today by hosting Omaha. in the first half they almost seemed afraid to attack the paint and the stats showed it; of their 30 field goal attempts in the first half, 20 were 3-pointers (and they only made four). Perhaps it was just pre-game jitters because they seemed to calm down coming out at halftime and became more aggressive in the lane, ultimately winning 65-38.

FYI, the men's team did beat Kennesaw State tonight 84-73, so they're at least off to a winning start.
