    Role of CycloneFanatic in ISU's recent success?

    My failed campaign to change Cyclone Alley stands as my life's biggest regret, and killed my belief in the power of the internet. Message boards are dead to me.

    Role of CycloneFanatic in ISU's recent success?

    Been too long since I joined to explain my plight in Hilton about the staff wanting to kick me out for that little tradition I started... :rolleyes: Guess I should have been on here more getting the message out to recruit a new generation of fans to do that wave when the flag goes by... after...

    Role of CycloneFanatic in ISU's recent success?

    Believe me I know I wasn't the first and I was pretty sure you've been around as long/longer :wink: You'll note in my follow on post I agree there is likely a benefit of uniting the fan base, but I am arguing that the growth of CF is a natural outgrowth of the state of the program, rather than...

    Role of CycloneFanatic in ISU's recent success?

    I'll take a bite at your point though... on a whole to grow and sustain a larger fan base, media exposure is important. CF has grown into that role a little bit (Since most Iowa media is still PAINFULLY biased towards the ******* Hawkeyes. Going back to Eastern Iowa is always a painful...

    Role of CycloneFanatic in ISU's recent success?

    I heard about this thread elsewhere, and had to come see it to believe it. Attendance spiked with excitement for the program.... the product failed to live up to the glamour and started to peter off again towards the end of Chizik. Rhoads brought new life and new excitment to the program to...

    Role of CycloneFanatic in ISU's recent success?

    Seriously though while a message board is good for keeping tabs on a program... most of the people that visit here tend to already be fans (or at least the ones that helped grow the message board back in the days of McCarney/Chizik and McDermontt) Also nice for a little bit of out of state...

    How long does it take you to get to ISU?

    Stumpy has me beat I'm only 20 hours (20.5 as I'd drive it avoiding tolls), though I'd stop overnight 6-8 hours. 1100 miles on a whole Flying generally would take 10-12 hours

    *** Official The Dark Knight Rises Thread***

    Decent movie but I don't know that I would put it better than the Dark Knight. At the very least, this movie is not as stand alone as the Dark Knight is - as a capstone it stands on the shoulders of the previous two movies This one has a much different feel to it than the Dark Knight did, so...

    How much would you donate to bowl in the SEZ?

    In college football that can be a compelling enough reason.... improve the game day experience to make us more attractive to recruits, TV, etc

    How much would you donate to bowl in the SEZ?

    Probably after lower hanging fruit, would still need a lead donor, and would rather see people in the stadium right now I could see a succesful season being a springboard to such a grass roots campaign, but even at an average of $500 / person for 55,000 people, you still wouldn't raise enough...

    How much would you donate to bowl in the SEZ?

    IF there was a serious push to raise funds for the SEZ I'd pony up a few hundred dollars (How much would depend when the call came out probably) Something I'd really like to see, but not something I can finance by myself to be sure

    Favorite pics YOU'VE taken

    Not nearly as nice but kinda fun..... I watched a hawk sitting outside my apartment in a bush for a while... as I was starting to get bored he suddenly jumped out of the bush, went to the ground a flew away. Looking at the picture afterwards I noticed he had, in that brief moment, grabbed a...
