Draft day fun fact:
@CycloneFB
held projected number 1 overall pick Caleb Williams to the lowest passer rating of any game in his three year college career at 92.3.
The Big Ten West existed from 2014-2023. Below are the total AP ranked teams each member faced in its 10 year run:
WI-37
NW-36
NEB-33
PUR-31
Iowa-29
ILL-28
MIN-28
For reference, ISU has faced 43 ranked opponents over that span.
Dear Cyclone Football,
If there is ever a time where you coordinate a cool field entrance where the music, video board, team and band are all on the same page, this Saturday is it.
I believe in you guys.

The 2018 win vs Baylor was sneakily one of the best atmospheres in Jack Trice Stadium history. Cold November day, angry crowd, awesome uniforms and a great villain in the Matt Rhule-lead Bears.
Big 12 North champ won the conference championship 4 times. Big Ten West will finish with zero conference champions in its existence unless Iowa pulls a miracle next week.
Iowa State fans SALTY today
Folks, you got to play in Big 12 North for several years and never quite took advantage.
You play who you play. Iowa beats who they play week in and week out (except maybe next week).
Would personally prefer something newer than Thunderstruck for the entrance song but it goes insanely hard if you pipe in a ton of sirens and storm sound effectsβ¬οΈ
Football pregame has seemed a bit off this year. Hear me out. Aggressive Thunder and Lightning sensations. Blackout of the scoreboard, like it got hit by lightning. Weather alert. About two minutes of loud ass tornado sirens. So much thay you start to get uncomfortable. Whatever
We need to talk about how Iowa State went from maybe a top 10 logo to arguably the worst logo in all of NCAAβ¦ rivalry aside.. itβs legitimately a terrible logo and it makes me mad they would ruin such a great one. Unforgivable.
Opponents that have lost a game as a ranked team inside Jack Trice Stadium:
Nebraska
Oklahoma State
Missouri
Kansas State
Iowa
Colorado
TCU
West Virginia
Texas
Oklahoma
ISU will look to add Kansas to this list on Saturday.
The best way to describe the psychology of an Iowa State fan is that we genuinely feel more confident going into a game against the Texas Longhorns than a game against the Northern Iowa Panthers.
What youβre missing in this conversation is that, as an Iowa State fan, I hate Iowa more than I care about television eyeballs or the health of any sport (menβs or womenβs). So no, I will appreciate nothing.
~Every Black Friday~
Me: *peacefully not caring about Iowa or Nebraska*

For CyNado truthers like myself. Today is another positive step forward in the long recovery from this tragic day in 2007β¬οΈ
Itβs a marathon, not a sprint. We must keep the hope that, one day, CyNado will return to his rightful placeβ¦ on the ISU helmets.

officially survived both transfer portal windows without losing a single high-level contributor.
Very impressive feat that doesnβt seem like it should be possible in todayβs college athletics climate.
The ingredients are in place for a great season.
Noticed a common theme among all of last nightβs first round NFL draft picks:
Disciplined guys that showed basic understanding of the rules of football.
For example, of the 32 players drafted, they were flagged for a combined zero invalid fair catch penalties in college. ππ»ππ»
Crazy but true stat: The only
@CycloneFB
starting quarterback to win in Waco since 2005 is Zeb Noland. ISU is currently a 2 point underdog for next Saturday at Baylor.
I have been an Iowa State fan my entire life and take pride in being a Cyclone.
For a mascot as unique as Iowa Stateβs, the Block-I is disgracefully boring.
This is a petition to reinstate the left logo as the primary and the right as a secondary. Please retweet if you agree.
Some George Amundson highlights to get you through the bye weekβ¬οΈ
IMO, dude would have been a star as a dual threat QB in todayβs game. Big 8 player of the year, Heisman finalist and 1st round NFL draft pick who lead ISU to two bowl games.

Ultimate Cyclone top ten list (opinion):

3) Brock Purdy
4) Gary Thompson

6) Naz Long
7) Fred Hoiberg
8) Harold Nichols
9) Joel Lanning
10) Tyreese Halliburton
Who's the former Iowa State Cyclone athlete that is the ultimate Cyclone - that defines to you what ISU athletics is? The greatest Cyclone to ever Cyclone?
(Comment for any options I missed)
Fun fact: ISU has had the same Head Football Coach and Athletic Director since November 2015. The only P5 school with a longer tenured HC/AD combo is Kentucky (Nov, 2012).
Dear Cyclone Football,
Thank you for absolutely nailing the entrance for the last home game against TCU. I ask that you do not revert to the uncoordinated dumpster fire entrances from earlier in the season. Fans appreciate the details of these stupid little things.

2018 and 2019 changes were huge steps on the road to uniform recovery. Now finish the job. Ditch the clip-art, generic I-State and get this beautiful logo back on the helmet.
Iowa State has to be trolling the fans at this point. The flag carriers ran out two full minutes before the team on Saturday. Thereβs no way a field entrance can be this hard to coordinate. π€¦π»ββοΈ
