Rule changes

What are everyone's thoughts after watching their first duels with the rule changes? It could be just the opponent, but there seemed to be a LOT more action, which is good. Will be interesting to see how this plays out against tougher competition.

The one thing I hadn't really thought that seems off is staying with 2 points for a reversal. There is often a fine line between a reversal and an escape + TD. However, scoring-wise that is now a difference of 2 points. JFrost had two or three yesterday that could have made that match more interesting.

Favorite Hilton Experience

Alright boys and girls, it is time for another season of Hilton Magic.Tell us your favorite Hilton moments. I'll lead off
1. ISU vs. Missouri in the 80s Barry Steven's made it rain against Mizzou and cemented my ISU MBB fandom. Got in free from on a friend's tkt who had to study. I was poor and didn't have the $, after that saved enough to get season tkts.
2. The 20 point or so come back game against OU. From the outhouse to the penthouse in 20 minutes. Ears rang leaving that one:D.

No right or wrongs just your own favorite memories.

Towels

When will JP dig a little deeper in the pockets and buy 60,000 towels for most everyone in the stadium. It looks really cool when everyone in the stadium has them not just the students who are tucked in a corner of the stadium. If you’re going to do this, do it for those of us that pay good money to get into the games. It does help with the atmosphere. I also have season tickets to a pro NFL team. When we arrive to the games, every seat has a towel in it. Not just a couple sections. I watched several college games and the majority of fans had towels not just a few.

Williams & Blum Pod: KU loss analysis, hoops opening week

Enjoy.

Iowa State’s most skilled team in the TJ Otzelberger era opens the season Monday

Anyone need tailgate flagpole kits?

First, before anyone thinks I’m done tailgating because of a loss to KU, I’ve recovered from far more crushing losses…

While putting tailgate stuff away this morning I decided that I don’t need “spare” tailgate flag pole setups and I want to clean some space up.

I have 3 total full sets(no flags) of pole and tire stand that I’m going to throw away or give away if anyone wants them and can pick them up in the Ames area. One of them is a larger diameter pole and collapses down to about 6 ft and the other 2 are smaller and collapse down to about 4 fr.

I also have a pole stand that goes into a hitch.

DM me if you are interested or want more details.

I love watching deion sanders lose

I have nothing against him really, but when you run your mouth that much, you damn well better back it up. He said he was the best coach in college football. Called out any reporter that questioned him. Well coach, your team just ran for -7 yards against Oregon st. Negative 7 yards. "We comin'"

Edit: I guess I proved I have something against him. It's his mouth in conjunction with being mediocre to this point.

FERG: Close but not perfect, comebacks are harder to come by in 2023's CFB

My column from tonight's game. Hope y'all enjoy it.

FERG: Iowa State was close to pulling off a comeback after going down 21-3 to Kansas on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium.

The thing is, in 2023's version of college football, you have to be damn near perfect.

History of losing games after other games go in our favor?

Not sure how to ask this, but for the 20 years I've been following Iowa State football, it seems like whenever another game gives us a favorable position, like taking first place in the conference, we inevitably lose that next game.

Does anyone remember games like tonight in other years? With Oklahoma losing today, a win would put us tied for first with Texas and a huge game November 18th.

I can't think of any others right now, but I certainly feel like it was a huge deal during the Purdy years.
