Who gets the first Touchdown for ISU 2019

UNI has to plan for a new Running Back and a new "go to or big play" Wide Receiver, both of which are even an unknown to ISU fans at this point. Scoring ISU's first touchdown in this 2019 season is crap shoot as to who gets the privilege to do so. I happen to believe Brock Purdy will either score or be involved in scoring the first Touchdown of the 2019 season. Share your thoughts as to who will score for ISU first in 2019.uni isu.jpg

Scalpers at Jack Trice

Have you noticed how we seem to have the same set of scalpers at Jack Trice for most games, especially when it is a seller's market like this week? Who are these guys? I've heard that they are from Minneapolis. They seem to have a nice system with guys who work the lots (some on bikes) with "Need Tickets" signs and other guys who sell on the street near Jack Trice.

Who sells their tickets to these guys? They can't be paying very much or it wouldn't be worth their while to be there. Do season ticket holders not recognize that these guys are making lots of money selling to fans of the visiting team and gouging Iowa State fans? I suspect that they may buy some season tickets themselves and sell those, but I'm particularly concerned about Iowa State fans "giving" away their extra tickets to these guys in the parking lot as if they were Cyclone fans.

Further, why don't the Ames/Iowa State police run these guys off? If this were Chicago or Minneapolis, it would be because the cops and university are getting paid off by the guys, but I don't think that is happening here.

Pardon the rave, but I just get really frustrated seeing these guys with the "Need Tickets" signs who obviously aren't Iowa State fans. One guy usually has a Cal hat on. I would never sell a ticket to these guys, but somebody must because they are always in the parking lots working the fans. Maybe we should have a Cyclone Fanatic follow these guys and tell people what is going on, matching the price, and promising to make the ticket available only to Cyclone fans without gouging them. Or maybe follow them with a video camera. Maybe we could create a Cyclone Fanatic non-gouging service. I don't mind a free market economy. I just hate seeing these guys getting good tickets cheap from Cyclone fans and then turning around and selling them to visitors or gouging Cyclone fans.

FS: 2 Tickets for UNI - Section 50 Yard Line

Hi guys,

Had a pair of family members back out on the game this weekend, so I have 2 tickets for sale.

Section E Row 19, 50 yard line tickets. I will be attending the game, and will be sitting right next to these two seats.

Looking for 80 dollars per ticket. Unfortunately, no parking pass is available.

I can meet before the game at a coordinated location. Please direct message me if you are interested.

Thank you.

Who else is going to party too hard tonight because football starts tomorrow?

only to regret it in the morning? Every Friday night I’m convincing myself it will just make me stronger later. Just a couple beers turns in to tequila. Then the next thing you know you’re in a car in a parking lot of a bar doing blow on a cd case. Then it’s back to the tequila and beer and before you know it you’re at a strangers house for after hours passing a huge doobie.

Then the next thing you know it’s decision time...about 4:00am...stay up or go try to go to sleep? It might take a half bottle of NyQuil. Do you risk it?

Friday OT #1 - EDC

Thanks so much to @throwittoblythe for this idea!

What's your EDC (every day carry)? Meaning, what are the items you carry with you wherever you go? Wallet? Keys? Knife? Nail file? What uncommon items do you bring with you all the time? What odd things have you seen others carry?

I always have my phone and some lip gloss on my person, and then have a variety of things I always have to include in my purse. But there are times I leave my purse in the car or something, so phone and lip balm are really my "must have."

ISU vs. UNI - FS1 Streaming Options

So apparently the new Fox Sports app does not support TV streaming via Chromecast. Fox Sports Go did, but it prompts you to use the new app which doesn't.

What are my options for streaming this game to my TV on Saturday??

***Edit: You can log in via foxsports.com/live on a laptop and use Chromecast that way. Works pretty good for me!

Cowboys In Tights Versus Beavers Under Lights

Okie State opens the season with late night matchup with Oregon St @ 9:30 pm in Corvalis:
OSU is a ner 2 TD favorite. Is that maybe a tad optimistic? these late nigh west coast games can go sideways, expecially when the second half starts at midnigt Central time.
