    Dear: Greg

    Certainly you can blame the coach for Taylor leaving. He told him he had to go. Taylor has since said it was the best thing that ever happened to him. Don't blame Mac for that one. No one saw Wesley leaving. That hurt since there wasn't another player for his postition. A big loss, but we move...

    What have you smuggled into Jack Trice?

    The first game in what was then an unnamed stadium I was with a group that brought in an 8 gallon (pony) keg of Bud. Air Force was the opponent and their kicker made the longest field goal in Jack Trice Stadium history. In fact it was an NCAA record for about a minute. I seem to recall we had a...

    ESPN Rankings - Prestige of the I-State Football Program

    I guess if your kid wants to drive himself to Iowa City that's his choice, eh? :wink:

    Providence/Marquette game...

    You said it all. It was strange and the announcers are equally confused. What surprised me was how calm the guy from the crowd was. If he was irate he didn't show it. Weird.

    Would Ames High beat ISU?

    Maybe it's time for a minimum age requirement. I'd sa 32 judging by some of the recent posts.

    Ed Podolak Done

    I feel sorry for Ed. He loved what he did and was good at it, but the demon rum marred his judgment. I think what he needs now is support - not bashing. I'm older and still remember watching the famous overtime game between the Chiefs and the Dolphins...Podalak had a hell of a game -- did...

    How does corn pricing work?

    Supply - Demand Tight supply = high prices Demand high (Bio-Fuels/ethanol) = increased prices. Lower crude oil price = reduces demand for Bio-fuels/ethanol increases supply leads to lower prices. Value of the dollar: Cheap dollar = increased exports Strong dollar = reduces exports...

    Heard a funny from a drunk Hawk fan last night

    Based on those numbers Oklahoma should be in the Big 10? Really, none of this really matters and given matchups tend to favor one team vs another not a conference vs a conference. Certainly 1-6 is not what any conference wants, but you never know it could happen to the B12 next year. Look at...

    ISU needs to hire MAC for DC position

    Mac had 12 years here and whether you were for him or against him at the end of his run...he's gone. It is not a good idea (sorry KSU) to go backwards. Let's move ahead and let Mac do the same...somewhere else. I do agree he was a great Rah-Rah guy, but disagree that we had some of the best...

    Some things are not funny. Please use your brain when attempting humor.

    Petition to ban Hawks from "cyclone" fanatic

    No! This should be an open forum. Silly to ban people because you don't agree with them. If that were the case there would only be one or two folks on this site at any given time. :wink: Drive them crazy--make them feel welcome! edited to correct typo.

    Mountain Lion hit near Jefferson, IA on Hwy 30

    Urban legend...never happened in Iowa. That picture was traced to Wyoming or Utah (I was told and don't remember for sure what Western state.) and has been spread around the Internet for months. Sorry and cat that big would be BIG news.

    Official Alamo Bowl thread - MU vs NU

    Great win for Missouri, but Northwestern played great. Two decent teams played a very entertaining (overtime) game. Shame on the morons that had to drag the thead into the gutter.:sad:

    Big 10 Stinks - Northwestern

    This is a great game...overtime would not be bad. Northwestern has really played tough and smart. It will come down to a kick...very soon.

    Big 12 vs Big 10

    Sometimes it is best to root for a team to a win (or lose) rather than guarantee a win (or loss.) A person can look very foolish. Anytime you have to play a game the other team can win. Sometimes it is called an upset, sometimes a fluke and sometimes the best team actually wins. Be careful...

    Big 10 Stinks -

    For your sake I hope you are right. It is dangerous predicting victories let alone score. I hope Missouri wins this game, but they have to play the game and sometimes strange things happen.

    Big 10 Stinks -

    Now it is a blowout in progress. This game reminds me how much I dislike the Florida State "chant." It led me to root against the Atlanta Braves too! Florida State isn't that good, but Wisconsin is making it easy for them during the second half.
