    Deace has another article

    My understanding is that the donations would be made to the Gridiron Club. I would assume the Gridiron Club would make that money available to the FCA. The individual would be an employee of the FCA who is serving as the chaplain of the ISU football team. I could be completely wrong on that...

    Deace has another article

    I as a Christian believe that Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the Father except through Jesus. I believe that Jesus is the only way to eternal life. Those who reject Jesus face an eternity away from God. I am not sure where it says that having a chaplain forces...

    Just a follow up question,why as a Christian would you not want Christianity in the day to day life of everyone?

    Petition Against Chaplain

    I agree with what you are saying but would like to add a couple points. As a Christian, we are commanded to share our faith with others. It is not really an option. The Great Commission spells it out best. I do a poor job of this but it is still something that I believe Christians need to look...

    is it illegal to talk about elephant in room?

    Skepticism based upon some knowledge is reasonable. Skepticism based upon stereotypes, mis-information, no information, etc. is useless. People were critical of the Gibbs recruitment based upon the fact he was an unknown, unheard of kid from Iowa. Very few who posted knew anything about him...

    ISU Football

    Glad to hear we are on the same page. I guess I can see how some would be offended partially because there are some who are offended by any talk of religion, especially Chrisitainity in public. I believe the position would be privately funded so that eliminates the issue of using state money...

    ISU Football

    If I may ask a follow up question, what do you mean by "I just don't feel that everyone else has to be?" Do you mean that everyone has the freedom to either accept or reject Christianity? Basically, it is a free will choice so not everyone has to be a Christian. Or do you mean that there...

    ISU Football

    I know Mac had something similar. Pastor David Staff from the Ames Evangelical Free Church has been involved with the football team for a number of years. I went to church there many years ago and occassionally he would talk about his involvement with the team. I think he traveled with the team...

    Some thoughts on Jon Miller's (failed) show

    Thanks! At least you got what I was trying to say and hopefully clarified it for 22. I have listened to Hawk garbage all my life. To state something contrary, as 22 does, is simply ridiculous. I certainly am not holding my breath waiting for an aopology or anything else from 22.

    Some thoughts on Jon Miller's (failed) show

    I am asking what are you talking about with this statement, "Cyclone fans partially did not like Jon Miller..... because he is a mouth piece for the Hawks. That is something Cyclone fan has never faced." Especially the part about Cyclone fan has never faced before. ISU has always been the...

    Some thoughts on Jon Miller's (failed) show

    What are you talking about? I and most Cyclone fans have had to put up with several mouth pieces for the Hawkeyes. I grew up in NE Iowa. They do not even know the Cyclone exist in NE Iowa. You cannot get the games on the radio, the TV stations are very biased in their reporting. I find it hard...

    Some thoughts on Jon Miller's (failed) show

    You and I view Deace differently. I think he did a good job covering both. He exposed a lot of the arrogance of the Hawk fans. Some might say that came off as pro Cyclone. That show you are referring to was not a pro-Clone show. It was a show about ignorant Iowa Hawk fans. He was a big...

    Some thoughts on Jon Miller's (failed) show

    I do not understand what you mean when you say Hawk fans had to "deal with Deace". Deace was very unbaised. He would compliment Iowa and ISU when they deserved it and rip both of them when they deserved it. He was the very first media personality to talk about the Cyclones and give us some...

    Some thoughts on Jon Miller's (failed) show

    I occasionally listen to Miller's show. I would say it is just okay. I find Jon to be somewhat smug and arrogant. I do not find him to be very insightful. For those who have replied with "what do you expect". I would say if Jon Miller is attempting to be sucessful as a media/radio personality...

    RB Josh Johnson kicked off team

    I think perhaps your large number of posts cause you to forget what you have posted. This is from your original post about the arrests. "I've heard rumors a 4th was involved yet am unable to confirm. It is also rumored that the players have already been dismissed from the team - again -...

    Spring Game Thoughts

    I am curious as to why you think there will be many position changes on the O-line. We have no more JUCOs coming in, only freshmen on the O-line. I cannot see how there will be many changes?

    Shocking Donation #'s - Give to NCC!

    ISU has its group of die hard supporters that will go to basketball games, football games and financially support athletics no matter how bad the product. But ultimately, it is all about winning. This is consistent with every team at nearly every level of competition. The only exception would be...
