    Upset weekend?

    Anybody watching the MSU-LSU game? Miss St. blew two chances to win the game with the ball at the 3 inch line. I seriously had to look them up to see if McFarland was the new OC for them.

    Upset weekend?

    And Michigan wins because the referees don't know the rules. Horrible call on that interception.

    Coaching from last year

    Ok, I realize I'm naive to think that sports journalists would actually do some work and try to find out why we lost so many games last year when talking about how we will do next year. I'm not stupid enough to think we should be getting national attention despite our recent records. The...

    Coaching from last year

    I'm getting sick of reading and watching football previews simply look at our roster and last year's record and assume that we won't win more than 3 games without considering the way we lost games last year. Disregarding the fact that our coaches last year completely ignored teaching...

    ISU Football Unis

    I never understood the anti- names on jerseys thing. The argument that football is a team game doesn't make any sense. If that's the case, why have numbers on the jerseys? The NCAA regulations on certain numbers for certain positions is pretty lax. Besides, you could easily get away with...

    Mickey D's All-Americans

    Probably a stupid question, but how does McDonald's divide up the teams into East and West? There's a kid on the East that plays in Seattle and two on the West from Florida plus kids from North Carolina and Virginia!

    Rhoads Unis

    The whole USC comparison annoys me. USC has a classic, simple uniform design. If we wore green and purple, but had the same uniforms, no one would say boo. So we pick a classic (and classy) design for our uniforms, but we get criticized essentially for having the same colors as them. I say...

    Are you Excited about the Hire?

    Excited? No. Happy? Sort of. I dunno, I guess I bought into the hype & had hopes of someone that was a proven head coach. Yeah, he sounds similar to Chizik in a number of ways & I was really excited then. I guess the last two years made me want someone more established. As far as...

    12/17 Official Coaching Search Thread

    I've noticed a lot of people have been saying they aren't impressed with ESPN's list (Loney, Farley, Norvell, and Graham) except for Graham. I know about Loney & Farley, but what do people have against Norvell? I'm just curious & have no strong opinion on him either way.

    Online source for specific ISU gear?

    Not to hijack the thread (sorta), but does anyone know where I could get (or, more accurately send my parents to get for me) a shirt with the old Iowa State on top of the tornado logo (like on the mid-80s helmets)?

    Favorite Professor

    Maybe somebody could help me with this one. Back in about '93 or so, I took Intro to Western Civilization 2 (I think it was History 202) with a great professor. He said he normally taught upper level courses, but liked to teach intro courses every once in a while to try and get people excited...

    ISU vs UNI postgame thread

    I understand what you're saying, but are you honestly telling us that Iowa doesn't look down at UNI? I mean, at least we will play you guys in football. Considering UNI is a 1-AA (FCS, whatever) power, we run a real risk of losing (obviously considering last season). We'd be better off...

    College Vault

    I don't know if this has been brought up on here before, but there is a website selling these cool books called the College Vault series: College Vault Books: Big 12 Football and basketball: College Vault Books: BIG 12 Football They have old photos plus old tickets, pennants, brochures, and...

    ISU vs UNI postgame thread

    Though it's not really the case this year, the MVC hasn't been that far behind the Big 12 in basketball. They have fairly consistently been the best of the non-BCS conferences in basketball. What I don't understand though is why does UNI seem to hate us more than they do Iowa? Maybe it's just...

    ISU vs UNI postgame thread

    Really happy about the win. We needed this. Having said that, am I the only one that thinks UNI really sucked? They didn't turn over the ball much, but they took stupid shots and couldn't stop CB even when we gave him the ball practically every time we came down the floor.

    If you had to list you least favorite college teams, who would they be?

    1) Nebraska - I graduated from there and lived in Omaha most of my life. I hate the school. I hate Lincoln. I hate all their teams. I hate Tom Osborne. I actually liked Bill Callahan and those idiots treated him like dirt. I hate the state (except for parts of Omaha). However, all of this...

    Urban Exploring at ISU

    When I was there in the early 90s, I had some friends that went biking somewhere west of campus. They came across a big sign from the U.S. Dept of Energy (I think) warning people to stay at least 20 feet away. Being idiots, they kept going and ended up seeing a bunch of dudes in hazmat suits...
