    A Visiting Fan's Expectations for IC

    This has been my experience also. I parked in the lot NW of the stadium the last two games. I have yet to hear a nasty word from Hok fans. No interaction at all in '10, this year parked next to a very pleasant group from C.R. The two men I conversed with were college grads (1 uofi, 1...

    How long would it take to build a new SEZ?

    True enough. But let's hope whatever is built blends into the older structure so it looks decent. Also, didn't recall the earth sliding thing delaying the building of JTS in the 70's. Perhaps it can be done more quickly.

    How long would it take to build a new SEZ?

    Just a farmer, not construction engineer, but if they are going to support the lower deck with earth, as the current lower decks are, it would take a while to shape the form and make sure it was packed/settled. Then they could pour the concrete for the lower deck. Perhaps have it done in one...

    NO HUDDLE

    You know, I always figured the two were synonomous, but I can see that there is a distinction. Just because you don't take the time to huddle up, doesn't mean that you're hurrying up running the play. I liked the tempo of Saturday so much better. Get to line, get the play from the sideline...

    Iowa v Iowa State Tailgate

    Years ago, we parked in church parking lots, but they've gotten pretty commercial and I think are available only on a season basis. In 2010, we ended up in the public lot down the street from the dental college. Tight parking and crowded, but it was relatively close to the stadium. Didn't...

    FB Locker Room & Training Facility

    Isn't that how the Roman Coliseum worked? Gladiators, Lions, Christians and Cowboys, anyone?

    Pre Two a Days Linebackers

    WHAT?? Our lousy no-star recruiting resulted in landing an athlete who was offered by Miami. Say it ain't so, Joe!

    WVU-new potential rival?

    The two northernmost schools should be rivals. Does it snow a lot in WV in late November? No wonder they burn couches.

    New OC, how does the offense change?

    If we eliminate half of the to's and reduce stupid penalties we could be world beaters. (Of course I am a part of the "Sunshine & Rainbows jihad") so take that into consideration. Mark me down as part of the Sunshine & Rainbows Jihad, too. A friend of mine played golf with the FB coaches...

    WVU-new potential rival?

    He must not have any ties to the uofi.:smile: Nope, he went to Iowa Wesleyan. Where Mike Leach was a coach?? Wowsers. He's got several years coaching in the Big XII, with TTU and OSU. On another note, I think Senolyc is right on about the old rivalry with Pitt being renewed. When all the...

    The latest on Big 12 Expansion, ND, and GOR...from Mhver (WVU source).

    And I'm sure there are millions of good Catholics in the state of TX, many of them Longhorn fans. I was thinking more along the lines of abortion, birth control, etc. While I don't have facts on paper in front of me, reason would have me believe that the UT community has a much more lenient...

    The latest on Big 12 Expansion, ND, and GOR...from Mhver (WVU source).

    With ND being a supposedly Catholic institution, one would hope there are a fair amount of unbridgeable issues between them and The People's Republic of Austin, aka UT.

    The latest on Big 12 Expansion, ND, and GOR...from Mhver (WVU source).

    2) FSU is still fully on board along with Clemson....the only holdup is buyout money...which is being negotiated. FSU/Clemson evidently want more cash up front from the Big 12 to cover their downpayment to the ACC...a figure was originally agreed to but both schools now are asking for a bit...

    Irish Central: ND to Big 12 could happen soon

    Ah, the Expansion Geyser keeps erupting. My question is: If this be serious stuff, if the aforementioned schools are ready to jump to the bigxii, why would we take more than two of them? The best obvious choices would be ND and FSU. Get back to 12, a championship game, and reasonable and...

    ISU Season Tix 1st Timer

    I'm guessing you're talking about the small lot immediately adjacent to Hilton and Schemann, on the north side of whatever-street-that-is. The area south of that road, the big majority of Hilton parking, is donor reserved. We've been in A-1 right across the street from C.Y. for several years...

    All In.

    Wow, all the interest in buying endzone season tics!! How can this be? Neither uofi or unl plays in Ames this year. Is the Earth tilting? Or just a bunch of folks who want to storm the field? Can bowling in the south end be far away??!!

    Barry Stevens Press Photos

    I still remember watching Barry play in Hilton. When he'd rise up for that jumper, nearly the whole crowd would start to rise, too, knowing he was likely to make it. Good times. Rest in peace, Barry. You were the Man.

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    I think you can leave AFA out of the calculations. Their AD made it clear when the BigXII expansion talk was going on last year that they felt the BigXII would be a too physically imposing conference for the Falcons to compete in. Which being an Air Force vet wounded me a bit. I would have...
