    Episode 2.14- The Iowa State Way and C5C

    After a very casual and normal break between episodes, Jamie and Eric are back to discuss ISU basketball as only they can. First, a "state of the union" for men's and women's basketball, comparing their mindsets entering Big 12 play to where both sit today and expectations for the season. Then, they dive in on the culture of the programs and why it's so important to have a defined identity at Iowa State. Anecdotes from a lifetime around WBB and Eric's year on the men's side bring some perspective to a conversation that could go on for hours. Plus, why each program is attractive to prospects and able to build year over year. Vote for the HoopHall awards at hoophallawards.com daily for your Cyclones!

    Episode 2.13- The good (Beating #1), the bad (end of football), and the ugly (CyHawk week)

    We are back on a new day- look for the Cyclone Family Podcast on Fridays, mostly, probably, going forward! Both Cyclone teams saw flashes of brilliance in Portland, including a win over #1 for the men and about 70 minutes of dominating basketball for the women. Each also saw a big step forward for a key player going forward- a pair of fan-favorites in Caleb Grill and Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw. CyHawk week is here for both basketball teams as well as wrestling! All matchups are shaping up to be legendary- top-15ish? matchup for the women, a men's team with more to prove, and wrestling looking to show the world that ISU is here to shake the table! Volleyball looks to continue their successful season, facing off against FGCU Friday afternoon in the NCAA tournament. Can the 6-seed earn another game?

    Episode 2.12- What is a Team of Destiny?

    Football is what it is.... But could that mean they're destined to ruin fairytale seasons for their conference mates? If so, this could be another for the books... Both Cyclone men's and women's basketball teams head to Oregon this week to represent the school in a premier event, the Phil Knight Invitational. Each have a lot on the line, including... -Opportunities for marquee wins for the women looking to strengthen their resume while already considered a top team in the country -A chance to see Denae Fritz and Stephanie Soares against elite talent, as well as how the rest of the team adjusts around them -Can Caleb Grill continue his road shooting heater from last year... And maybe bring some home with him? -How do the men fare against power 5 opponents? Fortunately, we can watch for ourselves at home, as all games are slated for ESPN network channels. Looking elsewhere in the athletic department, swimming and diving pull off an upset and leave a host of shattered records in their wake from the Kansas meet. Volleyball finishes out their regular season at home Wednesday. Can they right the ship after a 2-game skid and stick at fourth in the league? Wrestling continues to get it done, ending the longest dual win streak of any division in the country. Vote for the HoopHall awards at hoophallawards.com daily for your Cyclones! QUICK!

    Episode 2.11- Actual Basketball Content (etc.)

    The football season is winding down and all Jamie and Eric feel is deja vu. Meanwhile, men's basketball has shown glimpses of this year's potential identity. Lockdown defense? Still present. Improved offense? Seems likely. New players? Lots of upside, including some unexpected facets that can really boost the Cyclones. One the women's side, the returners show marked improvement, but keying in on the newcomers... Denae Fritz and Stephanie Soares are "un-Iowa State-like" players by Jamie's standards... Hear why that's a GOOD thing! Volleyball sticks at third in the conference, can the finish strong with three games left? Big news for wrestling as they continue to win in dominating fashion and add an exciting option for fans looking to follow matches from home or on the run.

Volleyball sadly swept by the Wildcats... BUT, can they take down Texas a second time, this time on the road? BASKETBALL!!!!

    Episode 2.07- Bring on the Tractor

    It's a rough year to play in the Big 12, and rougher yet if you've got deficiencies to shore up. Jamie and Eric chatted a bit about the injuries plaguing ISU, how wrong they were about the type of game we'd see against Kansas, and how to deal with the stress of Cyclone fandom. Some positives! Breece Hall's game-winning TD (in true Cyclone style) and volleyball upsets #13 Baylor. Could that win be a key to a burgeoning revenge plot between football and volleyball?! Looking ahead to Farmageddon, Jamie is still mostly concerned by the lack of a trophy and Eric is worried for ISU's run game. For next weekend, head to the Ten 12 Podcast or fire up an interview from season 1- the CFP is on break while Jamie finally has her honeymoon! We will be back 10/17, hopefully to talk a little Texas trash and ISU basketball. Don't forget to check out our friends at homefieldapparel.com and use code "CYCLONE12" for 15% off your first order!
