With injuries, COVID cases and an inordinate minutes load on their superstar players, the Nets are bringing back Kyrie Irving as a part-time player for games outside of New York, sources told

I find it ironic that the guy who carried Iowa to the incredible heights of a 20-11 season and a four-way tie for 5th place in their league announced his return as if he was Michael Jordan
Thoughts on a great trip out to Morgantown:
1) West Virginia is stunning, especially during the fall
2) Morgantown was a blast, felt kind a slightly larger Ames
3) West Virginia fans were super welcoming and very fun
4) WVU fans love to tailgate
5) WVU fans hate Pitt
P-12’s George Kliavkoff: “I’ve been spending 4 weeks trying to defend against grenades that have been lobbed in from every corner of the Big 12 trying to destabilize our remaining conference. When you look at the relative media value b/w the conferences I get why they're scared”
Word of advice Cyclone fans: Ignore the “Gameday is only coming because of Iowa” or “Ashton Kutcher/Dan Gable/Vodka Sam” for guest picker nonsense. They’ve never been to AMES. They’re here for ISU. This program has come a long way, and ESPN is recognizing that.

Don’t like the restrictions ISU announced? Sweet! Just don’t go to the games.
Want to go to football games this fall? Awesome! Just follow the restrictions ISU has put in place.
This morning at 5:35 AM, we welcomed Margaret Lynne Nelson into the world! We feel truly blessed, as baby is perfectly healthy and her mom is doing well. We love our sweet little girl with all our hearts.
There’s only one way to verify this Otzelberger to Iowa State news.
Someone’s gonna have to drive to Applebee’s and see if the Otzelburger is in the menu.

While fueling up at Casey’s, I watched a guy pump gas into his lawn mower, grab a 12 pack of beer, and hop back on the mower to head for home.
I love freaking love Iowa.
ISU: “we’re gonna try to have fans at games”
People: “this is an outage and is reckless, I demand you change course”
ISU: “ok no fans at opener, may cost us 30+ million, may need to close CY and lay off staff
People: “my problem was just the number of fans, really”
Loved Prohm’s fire tonight. Iowa made more shots and earned a win tonight. They also instigated stuff all night long. Not shaking hands when you win by 14 on your home court?
I’ve always been terrible at keeping secrets, so it feels great to finally share this one with you all.
My wife and I are expecting Baby Nelson in July!
We can’t wait to welcome our little GIRL into the world, and I can’t wait to be a

My reaction when the Washington State fan I shared an elevator ride with said “great game, I thought the refs would make a mess of things for a while, but they called a good game”
Recap:
Iowa State retuned punts (!!!!!)
We made a 56 yard field goal (!!!!!!!!!!!!)
We had 6 sacks and gave up none
The TEs were large and in charge
We got a pick 6
Rocco looked good
What is there to not like
“But could Brock Purdy do what he is doing now if his offensive coordinator was a Big Mouth Billy Bass and he was throwing to a shopping cart, a folding chair, and a snow shovel? I don’t think so”
I really don't understand the sad people bashing TJ Otzelberger.
The guy clearly wants to be here. He loves it here.
He's recruited well.
His guys are playing with attitude and effort (which has been missing for years).
He is also 3-0.
What is there to hate on?????
Headline:
Iowa State finally gets uneventful win in front of a full house in Ames, beating future NFL 1st round pick Theo Day. UNI fans will be back in JTS next week for round two.
Charlotte Jean Nelson joined us at 3:53 PM yesterday, checking in at 7 lbs 10 ounces and 20.5” long.
Everyone is healthy and doing great (
@erinm_nelson
is a rockstar), and we are over the moon for our little Valentine. Babies are truly a miracle ❤️
How is it that the person in front of me at a gas station is always getting smokes, 4 scratch offs, 3 lotto tickets, and is paying in dimes and pennies?
The big news is here!
Clara Louise Nelson made us parents of 3 girls yesterday at 3:56 PM. Mom and baby are doing great, and our little girls loved meeting baby Clara.
We feel very thankful and blessed for these 3 wonderful girls.
Tre King with a career day. Curtis Jones keeps it going. Lipsey is a dawg. Mommy is wet. Crowd was nuts. White out looked great. Ian Eagle and Bill Raftery on the call. On CBS. Win against a top 10 Kansas team.
What a dream. 🌪️
Is this my favorite football highlight I've ever shot?
...maybe.
Breece Hall's 47-yard rushing TD kick-starts a 3rd quarter in which Iowa State outscores Texas 21-0.
Wayne Morgan’s winning percentage at Iowa State was 0.58 over three seasons.
Steve Prohm’s through six seasons is 0.53. And he inherited Fred’s players
I really appreciate all the love and support people.
We experienced the loss of a pregnancy this summer, so today is extra special. My advice to anyone going through this is to lean on your family and friends. There is no need to go though it alone. It’s all in God’s plan. 🌈👧🏼

It’s got to be said, the entrance situation was an abject disaster and was embarrassing to sit in.
Next week will be worse. Fix it,
@IASTATEAD
. If we can’t get the little things right, how do we get the big things right?
I’ve been critical of Matt Campbell this year/last, and being critical is healthy so long as you give credit when things go well.
His development of these young players has been so fun to watch. The roster is in great shape. He’s made adjustments.
He’s a great coach.
Cyclones accomplished what I hoped they would today: better offensive line play, and some rhythm on offense. Most disappointing thing? Tackling and red zone play calling.
