Downtown Ames

I wanted to get peoples thoughts on downtown Ames after last weeks discussion on the Miller and Williams pod. Downtown was described as not great which I thought was funny because I think it’s actually gotten better the last few years with more businesses opening up.

High-end food: Maude’s and Cornbred
Sports bars: Sweet Carolines and Whiskey
Wine and cocktail: Noir and Della Viti
Pubs and Breweries: London and Torrent
Other: GPSD, Coffee Shops, Downtown Deli, Time-out barcade, Cigar Lounge, Ice Cream shop a few other spots I’m forgetting.

I’ll admit I’m usually only there for lunch and the occasional happy hour but I think it’s better than it’s been in a really long time. And it sounds like the pool hall is opening up again soon too.
What are your thoughts?

Poll: Targeting Rules

What should the targeting rules be?

  • Eliminate the rule. Nobody seems to know what targeting is anyways.

    Votes: 8 7.8%
  • 15 yard penalty. No ejection

    Votes: 15 14.7%
  • Degrees of targeting: Targeting 1 - 15 yard penalty only; Targeting 2 - 15 yard penalty and Ejection

    Votes: 75 73.5%
  • Keep current rules as is.

    Votes: 4 3.9%

I understand the importance of player safety but these targeting rules seem a little ridiculous. Do you think the rules need to change regarding targeting? If so, what should they be? Feel free to add to the discussion.

Student Section Complaint Thread

I'm here to complain once again about the movement of the student section. I think it is really impacting the atmosphere in Jack Trice. They are so disconnected from the band, and the band and student sections across the country go hand in hand. No more cowbell, no more Cyclone Power chants.

I'm just kind of ranting at this point, but not sure if anyone else has noticed these things?

Tailgating and Beer at Trice

Up until this weekend, I was kinda hoping we'd entertain selling beer at JTS at some point...but watching a number of people this weekend, most notably the ass-hat sitting next to my wife, I hope they never do. I drink more than the average fish...but holy ****, some people work HARD at getting effed up early in the morning...and find ways to ruin the day for many people around them. I can only imagine some of them being able to reload in stadium.
