    Pollard Addresses MBB

    Pollard's response is accurate... Maybe I'm showing my age, but we (society) are experiencing an age of entitlement, and "I want it my way... or I'm going to take my ball and go home." Maybe I'm living in la la land, but I believe a) in the value of a "commitment" and b) when things get tough...

    Most embarrassing moment..

    Didnt happen to me, but years ago at ISU... Some guy fell asleep in the class before ours... that class all snuck out after class was over...our class quietly snuck in and sat down... then, our teacher went on teaching his subject. The dude woke up... quietly looked left, right, behind him...

    Our City is flat out stupid

    Take the money DSM spent on that... multiply it by billions... and you'll get our US Government. What makes sense to the average Joe...seems to make no sense to those running our govenment. Tough times? Dont reduce spending...tax and spend foolishly. :confused:

    you know whats sick

    Wow... are you really going to go there?? Please tell me you're joking by simply comparing wins in different conferences. Have you seen Iowa play??? My daughter's High School team won 8 conference games...

    Why this team will not make the NCAA tournament

    I guess you are calling me a "sunshine". So, I'll answer your comment with what I won't do...I won't be whine and become destructive in my comments. That's what I wont do. If I chose to articulate end of season concern...I'll be justified... because I will have waited until the season...

    Why this team will not make the NCAA tournament

    Boy... this whole thread is sad. Reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live skit... Debbie Downer. Saturday Night Live - Debbie Downer - Video - NBC.com I thought we won by 31... It's amazing that we get people complaining about a 31 point loss...Rarely do teams get beat by more. It just doesnt...

    Arnaud and Robinson... injury status???

    I'm sure it's buried in another thread, but does anyone know what the status is on Arnaud and Robinson? Were they held out last weekend due to something more significant, or do we expect to see them next weekend. As good as Tiller and Jeremiah did, we really need Arnaud and Robinson back...

    Benton's interview - a little glimpse into the Chizik era??

    "If" what you say is true then I do NOT feel sorry for McFarland. "If" true, he came to ISU with alternative motives... just as Chiz did. He was using us just as Chiz did. :no: Again, what you say may or may not be true, but if true then I dont have any sympathy for McFarland. We each need to...

    Wine Thread

    I'm not a wine snob, but admittedly know a bit about it. In addition to enjoying drinking wine, it's a fun hobby to get into. THings like: learning about different regions/grapes, trying to find good wines at a good price, food pairings, etc. Years ago, I bought "Wine for Dummies"... see... I...

    Tim Griffin's ISU Prediction vs. Army

    I think that's what happens when you win. Unless you are a top tier team, most of the national guys make assessments/comments by the previous week's box score. :skeptical: As has been said by many... we have to earn respect, as well as glimpses of positive comments. Coming off the past...

    Defense not so bad.

    This just in... "A team with a 10 game losing streak just won." Message to those that seem to be having difficulty savoring a win... It's "game 1" of a team that, a) has not been good for a while, b) is absorbing a whole new coaching philosopy, and c) has been working really hard on...

    Hoo-ray. another juco commit!!!

    Welcome new Junior College recruited Clones!!!!! I certainly dont want to mortgage our future by over focusing on JC players. No one would say that over relying on JC players is a good, long term strategy. Having said that... Folks, we won 2 games last year. :no: Some short term JC...

    2009 ISU football: Positives and Negatives from a Hawkeye perspective

    Nice assessment...your neutral candor is appreciated. One other concern that I have is that we likely have not "learned to win" yet. This is so critical in close games. Unfortunately, you learn to win or get the killer instinct by winning. Sort of a what comes 1st... the chicken or the...

    CBS: 2011 QB draft rankings

    ****************** Wow... you're touting a 2011 draft prospect projection??? Are you serious? I heard that we have a High School Junior wide receiver recruit that is supposed to have a better pro career than yours. He'll start off slower, but by his 5th year in the pros he'll surpass yours...

    Too much Kool-Aid for me?

    Never said you should't be happy with last season. Was refering to the "pounding of one's chest" implying that Iowa is some powerhouse to be proud of. You are one year removed from a 6-6 season. Sure...take pride in "the season," but eeek... to imply you are ready to play with the big boys...

    Too much Kool-Aid for me?

    So you're happy with one, ever so slight, sniff wrapped around a .500 record over 4 years????? Break out the party hats and horns. :notworthy:

    Too much Kool-Aid for me?

    Concerning the highjacked thread about Iowa being such a powerhouse... I'm not going to get into a pissing match about who will win (recent years have been close and no one really knows) and I'm not going to argue who has the better overall record over the past 4 years (clearly Iowa does)...
