    Does Iowa go bowling this year?

    I think this is a sad indication of how watered down the bowl system is. We are talking about a team, who for arguments sake, finishes 6-6, 3-5 in the conference. With their bowl tie-ins, they could go to a decent bowl (Alamo maybe) without beating a single team with a winning record (PSU L...

    So, why is the ISU pass D so bad?

    Not sure where you got those stats, but they are dead wrong. Texas allows 361 passing yards per game. We allow 451 yards per game, or 90 more per game. They have allowed 22 passing TD's, we have allowed 43. Plus, we play nowhere near the passing teams they do every week in the South. They...

    Interesting Stat

    Sacks are a very small part of overall defense. Since we are in the stat mode today, I have some stats for you. Out of 119 D-1 teams, this is where we rank in the following categories... Total Defense - 109th out of 119 Pass Defense - 111th out of 119 Pass Efficiency Defense - 116th out of...

    Brackins: no more 3's!!!

    Charlotte was weak? With Zo and Grand-ma-ma? Are you kidding me? They were the 2 baddest mo fo's on the game. I would always play with them, because they brought the pain down low. Pure elbows and pushin.

    Official ISU vs Texas AM Post Game Thread

    That has to be the worst pass defense I have ever seen played at the collegiate level. As a few others have stated... 1.The safeties are the worst in D-1 football. I watch #20, Hundley I think, get absolutely torched all night long. Smith is not any better. Is that really the best we have to...

    ~ Time to name your starting 5 ~

    This lineup scares me to death. You basically have 3 walk-ons in your starting 5. I know walk-ons can help a rebuilding program with minutes, but there is a reason they are a walk-on. Petersen is simply a role player. Haluska could provide valuable minutes off the bench, providing his shot...

    ISU football...Big 12 doormat

    Expectations that people have? I can't believe the expectations that people DON'T have. Is it to much to ask to play Baylor close, regardless of where we play them? Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't this same Baylor team lose 13 straight conference games? And to go down there and get...

    Transfer (Phillip Bates)

    To those defending the decision of Bates not telling the coach himself, let me ask you this. Who made the decision to commit to ISU? Who signed the LOI, again committing to this team? Who built relationships with the staff and other players? Who went to practice and played in the first 5...

    Transfer (Phillip Bates)

    Sure, PB has every right to go and try his hand at QB somewhere else, but look at the big picture. He was given EVERY chance to become our starter the first 4 games. It was clear to everyone, especially coaches, AA was the better QB. So instead of facing adversity (not starting), he simply...

    WOW!

    This thread is funny. As a lifelong Dodger fan (I remember Gibson's HR clearly in '88), I checked in to see how people would reply to the game. I know it is a short series, but the Cubs are still a good team. What floored me was the absolute lack of respect for the opposition. Over and over...

    Best guitarist ever?

    I will go ahead and throw Nuno Bettencourt into the discussion. If you have not heard him, search Youtube for his solos, especially Flight of the Bumblebee and Midnight Express.

    Idea: Take betting events off of the Recent Threads page

    Here is an idea...... Since there are so many threads, probably hundreds a week, the recent threads (homepage) lists only replies to the top 10 most recent replies. I feel like I miss out on some very good threads and discussions, simply because they are pushed out by the latest betting board...

    NBA Championship.... REFS

    The NBA playoffs are completely rigged for bigger markets. It is all about letting the home team win and prolonging the series. The longer the series goes, the more ad space the NBA can sell. If you have any doubt about that statement, I suggest you follow the link posted above. The NBA has...

    Dam to Dam 20k on Saturday?

    I am pretty pumped up about the race. It will be my first time. It seems like I have been training for it forever. I will wear my D2D shirt and medal with pride!

    Favorite Dead Rock Star

    Major props for mentioning Andrew Wood. Mother Love Bone is fantastic, and set the stage for all Seattle grunge. Cliff Burton was a great bassist, and IMO, Metallica started to suck after he left. One other I wanted to mention was Brad Nowell, lead singer for Sublime. He was a great front man.

    New lineup/Rotation

    I reallllllllllllly wish Christopherson did not have to sit a year with the transfer. He looks like a very talented kid, someone who could come in right now and start at SF. Then you could slide Lucca to SG, where is probably more suited. I first thought him signing was a bit of a head...

    Friday confession

    I just watched the New Kids video that was listed on another thread. And I still knew all the words. And I also still like (a little bit!) the part where the go "Oh oh, oh oh oh, Oh oh, oh oh" on the Right Stuff.

    Stock recommendations

    Energy plays and Metals are performing very well right now. Also look for stocks that pay healthy dividends. Some tickers to investigate: NUE FSLR X CPU MEA I see an increased pressure on the steel industry, as well as alternative energies, like solar, to do well.

    Good news....but far from great!

    Some very good points on this thread. I sincerely doubt GMac wanted to sign 7 players this year. Some of the things are completely out of his control. When people leave or transfer, he can't stop that, there are only so many minutes of playing time per game. I am sure he would also tell you...

    80/35 Festival (in DSM) Headliners Announced

    Anybody going further down 80 in August? Lollapolloza in Chicago is some absolutely amazing talent. I am trying to secure tickets as we speak. Radiohead, NIN, reunited Rage, Kanye, Raconteurs (Jack White from the White Stripes). Heck, the only way that concert could be any better is if...
