    A question to you older fanatics: Donnie Duncan

    I don't know what was happening behind the scenes at that point, but I remember watching games in Johnny's last couple of years and thinking he was basically a figurehead at that point. During games, he'd walk in to the Tonight Show theme, then mostly sit on the bench the rest of the game while...

    This Week's Experts Pick'Em

    You know, I didn't think I could love Bret Meyer any more than I already do. After reading his picks the last few weeks, I realize I was wrong.

    Scenarios for winning the North

    I've been looking for something like this for a while. Phenom, despite being a Mizzou fan, you're all right!

    Interesting thread from KU site

    He had (still has?) a public access show here in Iowa City that was pure comedy gold. Typical public access-quality production (i.e. none) and basically just Earl talking about whatever crossed his mind. He had one show with these two women on there talking about real estate. Turns out they...

    Best Game Ever Seen (most exciting/memorable)????

    In strictly ISU games I was at terms, the two that stick out most for me were: #1 '92 football against Nebraska: I was a freshman and knew ISU football wasn't (at the time) something many people cared about, but the atmosphere in the student section (a conga line) made me think "This could be a...

    A&M Breakdown

    I'm not sure I'd say we were completely confident going into our game with KSU, but we were at least cautiously optimistic.

    Arnaud and Robinson... injury status???

    Does anyone know about Beau's status? Obviously we did ok without him on Saturday, but it would help out a lot against aTm to have another weapon.

    Omaha World Herald headline Sunday.

    My personal favorite part of the video is around the 2:35 mark after James Smith recovered the fumble. The Nebraska lineman is in the face of Nebraska's Robinson yelling at him and has to be pulled away by another Husker. Nice team-spirit.

    Tim Griffin thinks ISU is #5 in the conference...

    As a contributor to the anti-Tim Griffin bandwagon, I have to admit that this week he has his facts straight. I'm not just saying that because he is being positive about us either. He's one of the few journalists/commentators outside of the Des Moines/Ames based guys to mention the virus and...

    Omaha World Hearld article on the defense

    I disagree with this. He was the one that "took them away" and said the defense needed to earn them back. Now that the defense is playing well, I think it's only natural for the press to want to know whether he thinks they are good enough. It's a stupid tradition, but he was happy enough to...

    Tim Griffin....

    I hate Tim Griffin, but not because of his analyses. Quite frankly, I completely disregard them simply because he cannot even get his facts straight. Like Al_4_State pointed out, he has the circumstances around AA's injury completely wrong. He had also stated previously that fans were...

    Bowl Possibilities

    If you want a laugh, check out College Football News' bowl projections: Scout.com: 2009-2010 Bowl Projections ... Oct. 18 They have Notre Dame and Oregon (as Pac 10 champion) in BCS games and no Big 12 team qualifying for the Texas Bowl.

    Tailgating - What to expect in Lincoln?

    Don't. Most overrated "tradition" in the history of time. I'd rather tongue a pencil sharpener than go there again.

    ESPN Bowl projections

    Before anyone puts too much stock in these projections, keep in mind that they both have Florida State going to a bowl game.

    Picture or video of last play

    On the official site, they have a "Eye on Cy V-Newscast". At about 52 seconds in, they show the end of the pass. Man, it was close.

    We need to remove Iowa from schedule

    Why is it that people assume K State became good because of their scheduling? I hate Bill Snyder, but could it be that he was(is?) a good coach? How many of his assistants have gone on to become head coaches in their own right? Do you think maybe that had something to do with their rise...

    College Gameday

    Some semi-random thoughts about Gameday & the stuff mentioned on this thread: -Adding Howard really annoyed me. This is supposed to be a show about college football, not the Big 10. Would it kill them to bring in someone with ties to another conference. I hate Bowden, but at least he'd bring...

    Big 12 Power Rankings

    Hate to break the news to you guys, but we haven't been 12th all season long. In fact, other than one week at 11, Griffin has had us 10th the entire season.

    Upset weekend?

    Speaking of that, did anyone catch the guy from the Cleveland Plains-Dealer on Gameday? He's an AP voter and he has the audacity to fill out his ballot based on what actually has happened on the field, not what he thinks will happen in a couple of months. This past week, he had Florida #5...
