Cedar Rapids Gazette: Iowa State’s Babb feels at home at TCU

AMES — There’s no secret formula for how Iowa State racks up Big 12 Conference wins.

“Rebound, get out in transition, be patient on offense,” said Cyclone guard Chris Babb.

ISU (12-4, 2-1) takes on TCU (9-8, 0-4) in Saturday’s 12:45 p.m. game at Fort Worth, Texas.

And speaking of racks: there is a secret recipe for the piles of ribs the Cyclones planned to consume Friday night at Dallas’ Babb Brothers BBQ and Blues.

Babb’s father, Mike, co-owns the family-run business.

“I don’t even know,” Chris Babb said. ...

Babbs is relatively new and haven't tried it yet but heard very good thinga about it. It is just over the Hunt Hill bridge off Singleton in an area where they are trying to create more restaurants and entertainment. A few incubator operations there that help people get started and develop a reputation before striking out on their own. Will have to go by some weekend soon.

Might do that too. My fiance is in the hospital at UTSW and that's not too far away. I'm tired of eating hospital food. My dad was born in a house on Singleton that is no longer there.

Babbs said he went to TCU games.

“Really, my first college experience was being around guys like that and watching those big upsets in front of a sold-out place. Good memories to have.”

Did we have sellouts during the ND era?

Hmmm...what kind of lie does this qualify as? Te'o or Biden?

Is she a patient or works there? Across Harry Hines is the original Sonny Bryans BBQ which is still good.

My wife is at the Stroke Center (researcher) and that entire complex seems to grow daily.

Lousiville and Cincy were in our conference and we played KU at home. Had some good games in those days and the move to the MWC kinda hurt.

Both and, in fact, her initial diagnosis was a stroke but once the stroke team gathered all the data they decided it was only a blood clot. Hopefully she'll get to go home Monday. She works at an annex off Harry Hines and is at Zale Lipsey right now.

Glad it turned out better and good luck to both of you. Had to be scary.

Thanks! Yeah, we were a bit freaked. She'll be on blood thinners for a few months and won't be able to drink at our wedding...at a winery.

Been there. Pretty good. Just looking to try something new. About to head back to FW to check on the dogs. Think I'll pick something up for the drive back.

The stroke team physician's boss just came in and talked to us for a bit. He said she had a clot the same place as Hillary Clinton but hers (my gf) was about 10 times worse. They were surprised she didn't stroke and she's one of the youngest person they've ever seen with that type of clot.

Babb report: not bad. Meatloaf is different but really good. Ribs are decent and not bad by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe smoked a little more than I prefer but still tender. Same with the brisket. Could use more flavor but most places overdo it on their rub so I'm willing to give them a passing grade. I'd definitely try it again. The staff has been great.
