I was perusing tonight's TV schedule and according to Mediacom, tonight at 6:00PM the Cyclone TV Network is showing Iowa's 1/24/19 basketball loss to Michigan St. Since when did this network acquire the rights to show Iowa sporting events?
Is This For Real?
- Thread starter Ronman
- Start date
NO WAY! I just looked it up too. All conversations about who is little brother need to immediately end. Pathetic.
Little bro likes to see Iowa lose. It makes him feel all giddy & happy inside. It'll spare the pain of being #2 in this great state, even if for just a couple of hours. LoL
So now that it is after 6, was it real or did someone just mess up the game description for the online guide? I suspect it is actually the ISU vs MSU NCAA game if it is a game that involves Michigan State, but I could well be wrong.
That was a great game, and I believe was December of the 85-86 season, my senior year. Skiles was an amazing shooter, who backed up to get open, much like Barry Stevens had for ISU in previous years, or like J-Bo has for the Hawks the past few years.
If I remember correctly, Skiles had been arrested on a marijuana violation, so a lot of the students showed up to that game either wearing handcuffs or sporting signs about them. ISU squeaked out a close one by a couple of points. It was a big game and regardless of what people thought of him personally, he was one of the best college shooters I have ever seen.

Thanks for the link. Just read through that. I hadn’t remembered the other arrests. I remember in the game at ISU they kept trying to guard him close and he kept backing up even further and draining J’s. I couldn’t find the box score from that game but the dude seemed unconscious at times. That was back in the Hornacek/Grayer years under Johnny when the Clones were good at home, but not so much on the road.
