Forbes, #23, goes up for a shot against Northwestern.
In 2013-14, Wichita State won a
NCAA record 35-straight games
before losing to eventual National
Runner-up Kentucky in the third
round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Shockers' 35-1 record also
shattered all of WSU's and the
MVC's winning streak records,
including Indiana State's 33-game
record in 1977. WSU entered the
NCAA Tournament as a No. 1
seed, a first for the program.
Forbes came to Wichita State
from Northwest Florida State,
where he coached the Raiders to
a 61-6 record during his two-year
tenure in Niceville, Fla. Five of
his junior college players recently
transferred to Division I schools
in the offseason.
Forbes' Division I experience
includes five years at Tennessee,
two seasons at Texas A&M, one
year at Illinois State and three
years at Louisiana Tech and one
year at Idaho.
In the five seasons at Tennes-
see, Forbes helped coach the Vols
to an average of 26 wins per year,
and advanced to four consecutive
NCAA Tournaments - making
three Sweet Sixteen appearances
and advancing to the program's
first-ever Elite Eight in 2010.
The Vols won a school-record
31 games in 2008, and their 14-2
league record gave the program
its first outright SEC champion-
ship in more than 40 years. Fol-

earned the first No. 1 ranking in
school history
Forbes' experience also helped
Tennessee's 2006, 2008 and 2010
recruiting classes to a top 10 na-
tional ranking by multiple ratings
services.
Forbes came to Tennessee after
spending two seasons at Texas
A&M, where he helped turn the
Aggies from a team that had
posted a 7-21 record the previous
season and hadn't received a post-
season invitation in 11 years, to a
program that averaged more than
21 wins in his two seasons and
advanced to postseason play both
years.

Well, the baseball season is
under way. My Yankees won the
first game and then lost four in
row to sink into last place in the
division. I'm not all shook up
about it because I don't really
pay attention to any pro sport.
For the most part I find it is just
something to have on TV that I
can ignore and it will make some
background noise while I'm read-
ing a book or a magazine.
The Kernels did get off to a
good start by sweeping the Kane
County Cougars over in the Chi-
cago area last week. Maybe they
can keep rolling for the season.
The problem with them is the
front office of their major league
connecting team. The players
who do well early in the season
and get the team in the pennant
race get moved to a higher classi-
fication and the Kernels are then
stuck with the also-rans. But,
it's nice to see them off to a good
start.
Iowa State has ended its spring
football practice and held its
spring game. Iowa still has a
couple of weeks to go before its
spring game on April 25. Actu-
ally, it's more like a practice ses-
sion instead of game unless they
changed the format this year.
For the last few years they have
just been running through some
drills, have a limited scrimmage
and give the kids chances to get
autographs. I've seen, and been
involved in, enough practice ses-
sions in my life, I don't need any
more.
Of course, like everybody else,
I have no idea how good Iowa will
be this fall. After last fall's disap-
pointments I hope they improve.
If C. J. Beathard can get the job
done at quarterback and a few
other things jell I think they
might do fairly well this fall. I
think it will help that Iowa has
just one established quarterback.
There is an old saying in football
that "When you say you have two
first string quarterbacks then
you don't have any." Another
key factor, as it is with all sports
teams, is to stay healthy
