    Friday OT #1 - Alternate Slogans for Products

    That reminds me. A guy I used to work with was always bellowing things across the cubicle farm. One day he stood up and said "first time I bought a rubber got an extra large just to be sure. Ended up needing a twist tie to keep the damned thing on!!".

    Lazard Tweet

    At that age the girls compete. My daughter played boys soccer until she was 10 then joined a club team. Her girls club basketball team handily best the boys club team when they were sixth graders. The next year the boys destroyed the girls.

    Lazard Tweet

    I will be stunned if he doesn't come back. Four of his last five games were over 100 yards. Mostly on Park passes. He was a beast can can show it for the whole season. Plus, I think he's a Cyclone through and through.

    Isaiah Austin

    Very happy for the king of the moving screen. Seriously seems like a good kid and I'm happy for him.

    Cinci board

    I'm sure Hilton will rock, but I doubt it bothers them too much. I was totally impressed by their home court last year - it absolutely rivals some of the great B12 venues. They'll be ready for it.

    Bill Snyder "We've sold out to TV"

    I won't dispute much of what he says, but I will say TV money puts schools like ISU on the map. Without it we have little chance to close the gap because we're not likely to ever have a huge donor base. The difference between $35M and $50M is a hell of a lot less than the difference between...

    MONDAY MUSINGS: What we learned in Orlando

    I don't think I agree with that, especially with the apparent depth we have this year. Late in the first half and early in the second I was counting the number of passes each team had each possession. The most ISU had was four, Gonzaga on several occasions made 8-9. I'm not ******** as Prohm...

    Buying Christmas Tree in WDM

    To heck with the price, if you've got kids it's worth every penny. One of my greatest memories of my son is every year when he'd yell "tiiiiiiimmmmbbbbbeeeeerrrrr" as the tree we cut down fell. Hayrack ride afterwards to tote it back to the car. Good times. Now I'm an artificial tree guy.

    Kene Nwangwu really has impressed me

    This is not a shot at you or anyone else posting similar thoughts. And you may well be right. That said, Mike Warren is still a teenager - 20 at most. He went from being a first team freshman all American to a limited role. I have to believe his whole world is crashing down around him as his...

    Disappointed

    In regards to Rhoads first year vs Campbell... Those were still the B12 North years, we didn't play OU or Texas, and Baylor sucked. Plus he had Knott and Klein and LJ. That comparison can be construed however you want to interpret it, but it's just not a valid comparison in my mind. That...

    1. Never met Park or anyone in his family to my knowledge. 2a. Season ticket holder 99-02 and went to every game. Those teams had defenses. 2b. Of course. I watch them throw receivers open and make back shoulder throws - like Park has been doing recently and his receivers are finally...

    San Jose was Park's coming out game. 15/19 for 165 yards and three TD's. He played the significant majority of the snaps. I will be stunned if Lanning isn't here next year. I heard months ago from a guy that claimed a "source" that Lanning had already decided to transfer but I didn't believe...

    I don't think anyone disagrees with that and I suspect the coaches also realize it was a mistake. But food for thought. We won three games this year. Who was the best QB in those games?

    I don't disagree on Lanning getting snaps. I was shocked when he didn't come in on the first and goal situation. In the postgame presser Campbell said WVU was stacking the box then dropping eight. I still think they should have given it a try. That said, our and goal situations were all...

    Zags boards

    Reading that board reminds me a lot of the NDSU football fans. Lower division and feel disrespected - and probably are. It's just really hard to respect a team when they get so many nights off during the season. But like NDSU they show up in the big games. We're going to have to play very...

    Park had an off day today with some errant throws. Yet he was still 23/44 for 371 yards. The offense rolled up 561 yards - only 52 less than WVU - and led TOP. Critical mistakes and some strategic decisions cost us big. But speaking of brainwashed - you've got to get over it. Park is the...

    My guess is Park has over 300 yards passing be the end of the 3rd quarter. We're just not stuffing it in the end zone. Credit WVU defense, but it's always been long to goal.

    For crying out loud. There was one opportunity in the red zone Lanning was ideally suited for and we tried deception. We've been 3rd and long all day. And WVU is an exceptional rush defense team.

    Chaotic and strange first half, but we've hung in there. We get the ball to start the second half. Need to make it pay and get seven.
