Tim Griffin ESPN Big XII Blog article on Arnaud
The phrase "landshark" actually came from a term people called banks back in the 1800's. Many times farmers were given loans in which the interest/debt was so large that paying back the money was never a reality. The phrase arose to describe their feroucious and volatile tactics.....but who... -
Bulletin Board Material...from Chizik??
Chizik's Booster club comments? Hey all, I have been hearing rumors that KF has been given a boost of motivation for this week's game due to comments made by Gene. Does anyone know of what comments they are refering to? This may be a well known topic so I apologize if this only clogs the... -
My head hurts...

NO RESPECT - I want the season now!
Re: ESPN Bottom 10 Yeah I was going to post about the bottom 10 mentioning 3 of our opponents unitl I realized that we lost to two of them last time we played and barely beat the third. Kind of a humbling experience, but with that a sense of hope that we will be better this year. -
NO RESPECT - I want the season now!
Hacks for sure. Most do not even do their own research. They just follow the schools they like or get paid to write about, and paraphrase others work. I believe Ivan did this analysis for ESPN. Even in Stewart Mandel's book last year he admitted that he gets 90% of his info from others input or... -
past helmet question
I think the year it changed from the flat red to the sparkled red was 2003. Cannot back that up, but it seems right. I think uniform changes are a bad omen and that year was real bad. The flat red was the only real part of the old helmet I liked really IMHO. Hopefully this years uniform change... -
18 kids from Iowa on SDSU roster and 2 from Ames
I can certainly believe they have that many Iowa Kids. When in highschool, SDSU gave 4 kids full rides from the grade above me. -
Central air question
It is true that the start up burns much more energy than leaving a circulating fan going. One of the major problems with AC units is it's inability to judge actual temperature in a house as a whole. 90% of these new hi efficiancy AC units get their energy savings by staying on continuosly and... -
Which Helmet do you like best?
I like the 83 look the best but still love the 87 cursive "cyclones". It reminds me of when they took out NU in 92'. -
2008 Big XII flop?
I agree that ISU must be a true contender to create any flop team. Most team's non-conf. schedule is about average this year. No NU/USC match for any team that I can think of. Could be wrong. The true test of who will be in trouble this year may come down to how well we play. We cannot be an... -
Iowa State 15 -- Featherbutts 13
I predict Iowa wont have enough players to take the field due to arrests until the night before when there is a prison break at Ft Madison. KF will quickly sign the convicts and take the field just in time to have his *** handed to him by the cyclones........again! ISU 24 EIU 9 -

Bowls,Polls,and Tattered Souls opinion
A little while back I read Stewart Mandel's Bowls Polls and Tattered Souls,and thought the book was very interesting. Other than his blatent hatred for Notre Dame (my other team) I appreciate his opinion. Of course like any cyclone homer, when each page was turned I wondered if Iowa State would... -
Favorite Iowa State Wins
The 2002 Nebraska win was one of my favorites. I lived literally across the street from Trice and allowed many NU fans to park there. They had the attitude that they could not lose no matter what. When we won I got the pleasure of greeting all of them as they came to get their cars. Got fingered... -
Fantastic Rip on Iowa/Kinnick
The renovations for Kinnick have a nasty little secret. Apparently when they poured the concrete for the addition, it was in a two step phase with a layer of rubber in between the two layers. The day they poured the second layer it had been raining and too much water got between the concrete...- BEACHBUM

Biggest weakness on this years team...
Personally, I do not think that I can stomach another year of watching teams having a 3rd and 7 against us and no fear. Since our D backs were not effective last year, they will only be improved marginally this year. This in my opinion will be the weakest this year. I pray to God that I am...- BEACHBUM

Jack Trice’s natural grass on its last leg???
I heard a funny story about our old astro turf from a former player. Back in '93after the floods the team was joyfully spreading around a rumor that due to the masssive damage the flood created, grass was going to be installed for the next year. The first day of practice arrived and instead of a...- BEACHBUM

Bachelor Party Tips
I agree with not letting anything being photographed if it is bad. Also leave the video recorders at home. A friend of mine recorded a lot of his party and during the footage a drunk friend went into how he and the groom hooked up with a few ladies 5 years prior in Europe. Meaningless at the...- BEACHBUM

Best/Worst Football Helmets?
A friend and I got into a debate about who has the best/worst helmets in football right now. We of course talked about tradition and color layouts, but never could fully agree. It would be cool to see what others think is the best or worst. Hopefully this topic has not been covered in the past...- BEACHBUM
