Should ISU build a water tower by JTS? If so, should they put an ISU logo on it?

G
Hey guys, I’ve just been thinking a lot lately about some of the great improvements that have been made and things that could be done to make the gameday experience even more EXPLOSIVE in Ames.

So follow me here, could we build a
Water Tower near MidAmerican Field at JTS? And then... now stay with me...could an ISU logo be painted on it?

Should we wait a few years to paint the logo after the water tower is built to really build the excitement? What logo should be put on the water tower?

Just think it would be so cool to know that the delicious Ames water coming out of that water tower would be kissed by an ISU logo.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

Iowa will beat us because....

We are getting too cocky as a fan base. If ISU fan doesn’t start getting serious about this game we will not leave MidAmerican Field at JTS happy. We need to stop reading the press clippings patting our bottoms for how great we are because the fans are becoming SOFT and it’s going to be a major downfall once we get in to the stands and not touch a ball or play a down. Not encouraging!

IHSAA Memo to Parents on Behavior

Fitzy
https://www.iahsaa.org/wp-content/u...aEcmearT9OIVaHMRg7tjQIeVzg9uJd-zjUHQZsdFiCOhs

Inappropriate adult behaviors at high school athletic events across the country have reached epidemic proportion.

When more than 2,000 high school athletic directors were asked in a recent national survey what they like least about their job, 62.3 percent said it was, “dealing with aggressive parents and adult fans.”

And the men and women who referee or umpire those contests agree. In fact, almost 60% of new officials registered in Iowa in 2016-17 did not return to officiate in 2017-18, and unruly parents are often cited as a major reason why. As a result, there is a growing shortage of high school officials here in Iowa, and in baseball, football, track and field, and wrestling, the IHSAA is seeing record lows. No officials means no games.

If you are a parent attending a high school athletic event this fall, you can help by following these six guidelines:

1. Act your age. You are, after all, an adult. Act in a way that makes your family and school proud.

2. Don’t live vicariously through your children. High school sports are for them, not you. Your family’s reputation is not determined by how well your children perform on the field of play.

3. Let your children talk to the coach instead of doing it for them. High school athletes learn how to become more confident, independent and capable—but only when their parents don’t jump in and solve their problems for them.

4. Stay in your own lane. No coaching or officiating from the sidelines. Your role is to be a responsible, supportive parent, not a coach or official.

5. Remember: Participating in a high school sport is not about a college scholarship. According to the NCAA, only about 2% of all high school athletes are awarded a sports scholarship, and the average total value of that scholarship is only around $18,000.

6. Make sure your children know you love watching them play. Do not critique your child’s performance on the car ride home. Participating in high school sports is about character development, learning and having fun—not winning and losing.

Purchasing a ticket to a high school sporting event does not give you the right to be rude, disrespectful, or verbally abusive. Cheer loud and be proud, but please also be responsible and considerate as a spectator.

The future of high school sports in Iowa is dependent on you.

Will merely beating Iowa change the narrative or will their record matter?

L
ISU defeating Iowa this year is looking increasingly probable if various reports and predictions are to be believed. The downside if there is one is that these reports indicate that this might not be one of Iowa's better teams, and it certainly not be if they finish near the bottom of their division like some prognosticators suggest.

I was wondering whether then the cyclone faithful might be persuaded to root for the Hawks outside of the game in Trice stadium? Or will the posture continue to be eff them?

Better Than Us on Netflix

BoxsterCy
Started watching the new to Netflix Better Than Us last night . Pretty decent robot sci-fi. Russkie TV with 16 episodes. It's no Season 1 of Westworld or anything but it's a decent mash of robots, crime, the old Isaac Asimov's robot rules, evil corporation, cyber punks, dead beat dad, dogged detective, ******* teen son, beautiful but deadly robot etc. Only 2029 so no elaborate super future like Altered Carbon or the like. This near future isn't gritty. They did a good job or making the settings somewhat generic so it kinda easily fits an international audience, not going for Russian authentic , say, like Chernobyl or anything. Dad's driving an old Buick.

Russian, as noted, and be forewarned that's it is dubbed English but the dubbing is well done. I usually dislike dubbing for movies but for TV it's okay and this is done better than okay. On par with the dubbing for the Danish The Rain which was superbly done considering that show is sorta mediocre.

Keep in mind that Boxster's mantra is "even mediocre sci-fi is better than no sci-fi all" (updated and revised from my old "bad sci-fi is better than no sci-fi at all" that was dashed by SyFy Channel).

EDIT: Well that unraveled quickly. Went from maybe decent/okay to mediocre to "Should I even keep watching this?" o_O

Gorm
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.
