Iowa State announces sellouts for first two football games

Sports

August 31st, 2021 by admin

AMES, Iowa – For the fourth time since 2015, Iowa State has sold out of tickets for its first two home football games, as Saturday’s season-opening game vs. UNI joins the Cyclones’ Sept. 11 game against Iowa in the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series as sold-out games at MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium.

It marks the ninth and 10 time ISU has sold-out Jack Trice Stadium under the 61,500-capacity configuration which started in 2015.

Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard noted a few weeks ago the Department broke a school mark by surpassing 48,000 season tickets sold, and was optimistic that the Cardinal and Gold faithful would purchase 49,000 season tickets by season-opener. That goal was attained today, as Pollard announced the Department reached the 49,000 threshold for the first time in school history, and are sitting at 49,049 season tickets sold as of the close of business today.

“There is tremendous excitement surrounding our Top 10 program and an amazing tradition of loyalty and support among our fanbase,” Pollard said. “Matt Campbell, his staff and student-athletes have done a phenomenal job in raising the standard of Cyclone Football. Selling out the first two games and establishing a school-record season ticket total affirms the success and national status of our football program.”

A limited number of Jr. Cyclone Club season passes, for the hillsides, remain on sale for $69 and may be purchased on-line at www.cyclones.com.

Iowa State, ranked No. 7 in the preseason AP poll, its highest AP ranking of all-time, returns 19 starters from last year’s PlayStation Fiesta Bowl championship team that went 9-3.

The Iowa State-UNI game will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. (Central) on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.

Sports

August 30th, 2021 by admin

The Drake University women’s basketball team is set to play a 12-game non-conference schedule with seven home games in the Knapp Center, Suzie Glazer Burt Head Drake Women’s Basketball Coach Allison Pohlman announced Monday, Aug. 30.

“We’re so excited that we have put together a really strong non-conference schedule that will prepare our team for the rigors of Missouri Valley Conference play,” Pohlman said. “The excitement that surrounds our program and this schedule will give our fans amazing opportunities to watch us compete against multiple NCAA tournament teams and teams that compete for conference championships.”

Drake hosts longtime rival Creighton Nov. 10 in the season opener followed by 2021 NCAA Tournament teams South Dakota and Iowa State coming to the Knapp Center on Nov. 15 and Nov. 18, respectively. The Bulldogs then play their first road game at Iowa on Nov. 21. The Hawkeyes advanced to the 2021 Sweet Sixteen.

Drake closes the month of November at the Nugget Classic hosted by the University of Nevada Nov. 26-28. The Bulldogs will play three games in Reno, Nev. and along with the Wolf Pack, Idaho and San Francisco complete the field. Drake’s opponents and game details will be announced at a later date.

Drake has three-straight home games to start December with Longwood (Dec. 3), Simpson (Dec. 7) and Northern Illinois (Dec. 12) on the schedule. Back-to-back Big Ten foes follow with a trip to Nebraska on Dec. 19 and then Minnesota visits on Dec. 23 to close the non-conference slate.

The Bulldogs will prepare for the 2021-22 season with a pair of home exhibition contests against Grand View and Minnesota State on Nov. 3 and Nov. 6, respectively.

Season tickets for the exciting 2021-22 home slate go on sale Friday morning at www.draketix.com.

Iowa State enters game week with lofty ranking and high hopes

Sports

August 30th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa State hosts UNI on Saturday and the Cyclones enter game week with a number seven national ranking and monster expectations. ISU coach Matt Campbell says it is a new season but they don’t want to forget the past.

Campbell says many of the players are the same and the formula for success remains the same.

Campbell calls it winning in the margins.

Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy says past success and experience gives the Cyclones confidence.

Purdy says “winning in the margins” begins with limiting mistakes.

Iowa State tight end Charlie Kolar says the Cyclones are a confident yet humble team.

Experienced defense leads Iowa into season opener

Sports

August 30th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Hawkeyes hang their hat on defense at that unit should be strong once again as the 18th ranked Hawkeyes get set to host 17th ranked Indiana. Defensive coordinator Phil Parker says a key is building depth along and defensive line that has some holes to fill. Zach Van Valkenburg and John Waggoner are the most experienced players at the end spots.

Iowa leads the nation in interceptions since 2017 and Parker says two of the keys are a good pass rush and playing zone in the secondary.

Senior corner Matt Hankins says film study has been a big part of their success.

Junior safety Kaevon Merriweather says they are thrilled to have fans back in Kinnick Stadium.

Merriweather says being in the right place leads to interceptions.
