    Classiest and Least Classiest Fans in the Big XII

    A&M this past year was my first road trip for a game. They were the most welcoming fans I've ever seen at a sporting event. Just like everyone else here, we were invited to tailgates, bought beers after the game and treated like welcome guests. I haven't been to a game in Norman yet, but I hate...

    Worst/Crappiest beer you've ever had

    I think my happiness about getting drunk on the cheap is overriding all the horrible beer I drank on firesale, but all I can think of is going into a Quik Trip here in Tulsa and getting giddy seeing Natty Ice in the case. I don't know if it was the fact that it was 3.2, but it was the worst beer...

    Does Iowa State have the toughest schedule next year

    Haha, I may be new here, but Al and I have known each other since birth. I took the picture in his signature.

    Does Iowa State have the toughest schedule next year

    I think you're probably right. But I think we'll see something like a win over Nebraska(which will keep us in the hunt for the title) followed by a loss to Colorado(which will knock us out), and a win over Mizzou (which will just dig the knife deeper for the loss to Colorado)

    Does Iowa State have the toughest schedule next year

    It's good stuff, but I'll stand by my blind faith for now. I think it's more a feeling I have about this team than anything else. Paul's turned me into a believer and if our front 7 is better than most expect it to be, I can't see a couple of upsets being out of the question. I think this is...

    Does Iowa State have the toughest schedule next year

    It's definitely a tough schedule, but it's a good test for a good team. Visiting 3 Top 10 is going to be ridiculously hard on any team, but at least we get tough in-division tests (Nebraska and Mizzou) at home. I see this squad as a 8-4 or a 9-3 team and if we make it to Halloween Weekend with 3...

    Williams Blog: More catering to the South

    Norman is too close to Oklahoma City. But regardless, Oklahoma City doesn't have a Stadium that could hold the Big 12 Championship. If it's going to be a neutral site, it has to be Kansas City or Dallas. The closest school to Dallas is Baylor, but students and fans don't show up for their home...

    Williams Blog: More catering to the South

    I don't see having the title game in Dallas every year as being a big deal. As it's been said before, it's the best venue to generate money, it makes the game an 'event', there's no trouble getting direct flights from pretty well anywhere in the Big 12. You can't say there is a crowd advantage...
