UNI and NIU
Northern Iowa will be a hard test IMHO. They bring intensity to the game each time and show up to win. Zach Davis will be taking over as QB this year. He is a good player but in all honesty, he is a step down from their last two QB's -
Best Stadium to watch a game at?
Notre Dame is probaly the best venue I have ever seen. Went for the first time last year. Brought my brother and two friends in which all 3 hate the domers. In the end even they were totally in awe and said it was the best atmosphere they had ever seen. There is just so much history and the... -
i'm surprised this hasn't been brought up
He was a large kid. Played against him for four years. Really worked hard. I wish I had his genetics so I could have played at that level too. Of course he did start his senior year for a reason. They had nobody else. Nebraska was so far removed from the Blackshirt days by then. Talent took a... -
what do you consider the top 10 program crushing losses?
One game I have not seen mentioned is the Miami/Louisville match up of 2003 I think. That marked the official end of total dominance for them and the death knell of Coker. They officially lost their unbeatable status that night. I spent it in Lumpys trying not to get sewer water from the pipes... -
Williams Blog: The Big 12 needs to fight
If Texas bolted the B12 the first thing I would do is punish Texas as a whole by kicking out Baylor. ISU only got into the B12 due to tradition. Face it. Baylor only got in due to Texas politics. Face it. Baylor is a private school and believe it or not, many very very powerful people in that...- BEACHBUM

What happens to Iowa State?
I wonder if these schools and their fans (MU,CU) have realized that by leaving, they will only make it harder to win. Could Colorado and its fan base deal with the fact that they would be one of the worst teams in the PAC-10 if they were to join today? Does tiger fans realize that one slip in...- BEACHBUM

PA town on fire since 1962
If you want to get a real good quick read on the town then get the book, "A walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. He is from Iowa originally and wrote a best seller on walking the appalachtian (spelling) trail. He goes to the town and explains what it is like and how the fire is able to... -

Football recruiting: DL
Iowa has a much easier time recruiting D line than we do. Simple reason is past success. Of course due to that they can continue with better recruits until it becomes a formula of reload instead of rebuild. It takes a catalyst to propel a program to great success/tradition. Hayden Fry came into... -
Albert Gary - RB
Personally I think he looks alot like ARob and his style. Of course this is a good thing! He seems to find the angles and if it gets closed up, he hits it hard to get a few more yards. -
Bar Wars: Downtown vs Campustown
oh man we used to do the trio trouble back in the early 2000's downtown. Hit up Tradewinds, followed by Whiskey and finish up with Tip Top. Absolutely zero women but the drinks were cheap and we could get crazy as hell! Normally nobody would throw us out cause they needed the business. Of course... -
"Choose your adventure" ISU commercials
I will give ISU this much, at least it is original. Every other school has the exact same commercial in which it is only aired during breaks from their school playing a sport.- BEACHBUM

CPR does it better
I cant imagine the video producers thoughts when he was asked to make the video. "Uh yeah we need you to make a video that is meant to belittle and degrade my players so they feel gutless and hollow. Oh yeah set the whole thing to over dramatic music and use the cheap easily breakable...- BEACHBUM

Leno/Conan comparison
conan will land somewhere and will take off like a rocket. He can always call Letterman for advice. -
HISTORY channel
I personally think that they need to start making some more shows. Its getting pathetic. That is why we keep getting the same old doom shows. They are repeats. Sure they had their time and I tuned in to watch it.........ONCE! It makes me sick that we are making celebrities out of those... -
College Savings Iowa
oops! My fault. Just figured it was a similar investment -
Next Great Cyclone QB
I saw him play many times. He is a great kid that has alot of talent and height. With these talents and his hard work ethic, he could contribute somewhere on the team. -
Next Great Cyclone QB
From what I have heard this is not true. Chase wanted to go to Texas in the worst way but they thought he was too short. Missouri saw promise in him and went after him much like Iowa went after Tate. At the last minute Texas realized the mistake and offered Daniel but it was too late. Missouri... -
College Savings Iowa
I dont have kids yet but I do remember Alabama having a similar plan starting in the early 90's. Now it is time to pay up the state has no money and many people got burned. Just saying that saving for a child's education is very very honorable but this type of investment could leave a parent... -
Why I am AGAINST a playoff system
+1 The current system has many flaws but is the only system that has people talking about about football seasons past, present and future. It is in itself the soul of what we love in college football. Not because it was purposely set up that way but because it was an unintentional by product...
