First, thanks to everyone that stopped out to Trophy’s last week. Great time and great place to watch a game.

Second, it was bound to happen, little Tirrell spit on on Papa Tirrell’s scarf.

College Basketball
Iowa State
If you’re a top 5 football or basketball team, beware of stop overs in Ames, IA. Like their football brethren, the Cyclones took down a top 5 Big 12 team in Kansas Saturday.

Great team play, and great play from the big men. How big was the win? It was ISU’s first win over Kansas since 2005 and first win over a top 5 opponent since 1995.

The only thing missing from yesterday’s game was Coach Fred yelling in the locker room “I am so proud to be you’re coach!”

Another big one Tuesday night against KSU.

Drake
Coach Phelps has been putting together a heck of a team on paper, but the question has been whether or not they could get it together on the court. Well, they did Saturday night at the Knapp Center. It took a little longer than the regulation 40 minutes, but it doesn’t matter when you get the “W”.

Drake shook up the Mo Valley standings knocking Wichita State from a first place tie with Creighton. Kraidon Woods hit a huge shot with 2 seconds left to send the game to overtime. tied the game for Drake to force the first overtime period.

It was the Shockers first true road loss. WSU has played 22 games, 3 games were in the San Juan Shootout and 6 have been true road games. How do you play 22 games and only play 6 on the road?

Speaking of the road, Drake, which has had problems on the road, travels to Terre Haute, Ind. to play Indiana State. The game is Wednesday at 7 p.m. and will be televised on Fox College Midwest and nationally on Fox College Sports.

Biggest question of the game – How does the Register not have quotes from Coach Phelps or any of the team in Sunday mornings paper? Late or not you gotta get quotes in the paper.

Everyone knows college basketball recruiting is the dirtiest game around. Well soft spoken Bobby Knight chimed in on it this week – using the big microphone ESPN.

“I think there are so many things wrong with recruiting in college basketball today. The summer people that are involved. The agents that are involved. The coaches that are involved with agents and summer people. Now, what’s going to happen when everybody starts recruiting that kid that has finished his degree? And what’s going to happen when people offer this kid A, B or C and somebody else offers a kid D. I don’t agree with it at all.

I don’t have any problem with the kids transferring [and what Hubert Davis has talked about]. But I have a real problem with the way recruiting has gone in college today. I mean let’s face it, you’ve got college coaches that are paying summer coaches. You’ve got agents out there that have a deal with a college to send a kid to that particular school. That’s what I think has happened with college recruiting. I think it’s a cesspool beyond belief today. And I just wouldn’t want to see something else added to it.

I think you’ve got to give severe penalties. You they talk about they never want to give out the death penalty. But I think severe penalties for recruiting violations would be almost the only way that you could curb it.”

College Football
Is Kirk Ferentz starting to show a personality? No fart jokes, but the guy took the Polar Plunge with the Iowa Wrestling team Saturday. His reasoning…When the Brands ask, you can’t say no.

Local TV
I hate this time of year. Why? February sweeps. This is the time where every station breaks out the big guns and gets investigative. Hard hitting stories, getting the answer to questions no one is asking. Just makes sure you watch so they can charge more money.

And sad to see John Bachman is retiring. He has been a fixture on local TV sets for decades. When you look up TV anchor in the dictionary there is a photo of John Bachman. I think he sleeps in a suit and tie.

X Games
Not a X Games fan, but man, must see crash TV the other night.

And finally…
Ok, here is one thing I am never going to do…hotel looks nice though.
