Paul Rhoads Says It's "Highly Unlikely" He'll Retire at Iowa State
Longevity and college football coaching aren't usually two words or phrases you typically find in the same sentence. Coaches are now fired faster than ever while others always have their eyes on the next job. Sometimes, however, there is a coach that is just a perfect fit. On the surface, it's fairly obvious Paul Rhoads is the perfect fit him Ames. He's from Ankeny...

Ravens Select Iowa State OT Kelechi Osemele (Rd.2, No.60)
With the 60th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Ravens select Kelechi Osemele, OT (Iowa State). Large-bodied college left tackle better off on the right side or moved to guard. Solid pass protector, makes good use of blocking angles and correctly places his hands into opponents. Stays square and uses effective body positioning to seal opponents from the play.

Iowa State Still Searching for Starting QB
The biggest question facing Iowa State throughout spring practice was who would emerge in the race for the starting quarterback job. After 15 practices, the answer to that question won't come until sometime during fall camp which was exactly what Iowa State's staff expected going in.
When Paul Rhoads was asked whether much had changed in terms of the quarterback competition...

Iowa State QB race still even
Iowa State quarterbacks Jared Barnett and Steele Jantz remain right where they stood when spring practice started - dead even in the race for the starting job.
Both had their moments in the Cyclones' spring game Saturday. They made some good throws and they were nimble and elusive running the ball, but coach Paul Rhoads was disappointed in their interceptions.
In fact, Rhoads...

Iowa State Debuts 2012 Football Poster
What a night. Iowa State 37, #2 Oklahoma State 31. In double overtime, nonetheless.
It was the biggest win in the history of Iowa State football so it's no surprise ISU is going to leverage the occasion heading into the 2012 season. And why wouldn't they?
The first evidence that November 18th, 2011 won't soon be forgotten in Ames comes with the debut of the Cyclones...

Follow Chris on Twitter @ChrisMWilliams
AMES — Please accept this apology Cyclone Nation. I had the intent to post these notes that I took at Iowa State’s first spring football practice (that was open to the media) on Wednesday but the day got a little bit busy and I think you all know why.
How about a little football conversation...

Are these Iowa State’s new uniforms?
We've seen Michigan's new uniforms, and they are hideous, we've seen some of Missouri's new uniforms, now how about Iowa State's new throwbacks?
The Cyclones are looking to build on their win over Oklahoma State this coming year. They did face one of the toughest schedules last season, playing 7 top 25 teams.

2012 NFL draft: Kelechi Osemele G Iowa State
Offensive guard, Kelechi Osemele is rated highly by many NFL scouts after starting 43 consecutive games at Iowa State and playing in 49 of the Cyclone's games.
Osemele could be one of the best pass-blockers in the 2012 NFL draft when you watch his feet and position. His 84-inch wingspan doesn't hurt, but his patience is what makes him one of the top guards in the country.

Rutgers Starting to Feel at Home in Yankee Stadium
Rutgers won for the second time at Yankee Stadium in a seven-week span, turning back Iowa State 27-13 in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Thanks to a near-flawless defensive effort, a 131-yard rushing performance from Jawan Jamison, and an 86-yard scoring bomb to Brandon Coleman from Chas Dod. Greg Schiano has long stated his belief that Rutgers has every right to call New York City its...

Iowa State Causes BCS Chaos
Well, we all wanted it … sort of. BCS chaos is here, and it’s here to stay for the rest of the season. Whether LSU wins out doesn’t matter because the BCS has failed us already.
Think about this. What if Alabama wins out, and Oregon wins out, and LSU loses to Arkansas, and Alabama and Oregon play in the BCS championship game, and LSU beat both of them, and my brain explodes...
