    JP holds all the keys - He has taken a difficult first step - The next step is...

    The non-conference schedule isn't holding ISU back. ISU already plays an FCS team almost every year that sells out the stadium (UNI). ISU isn't giving up the ticket sales for this game, and an FCS team should always be a win for a Big 12 team. Iowa State also plays Iowa every year, a rivalry...

    Lanning versus Richardson.

    Not quite, ISU has only scored 28 points in the last five meetings in Norman. So, really boosting that scoring average up to a healthy 5.6 points/game. 2013 - 48-10 2011 - 26-6 2010 - 52-0 2006 - 34-9 2002 - 49-3

    Rosenfels as Head Coach?

    If anyone wants a case study on why hiring beloved former players as head coaches in football is a bad idea, check out Jon Embree at Colorado. Played TE at CU under Bill McCartney in the 80's, position coach at CU in the 90's, bounced around the NFL as a position coach in the 00's. Was brought...

    Wally....

    Houston put up 1,021 on SMU in 1989. Of course, that was the first season SMU played football again after getting the death penalty, and they barely had enough people to field a team. Losing Coach Calls 95-21 Rout Needless - NYTimes

    The Board of Regents just stuck their middle finger up to Univ of Iowa faculty

    Damn, I can't like this enough. One of my biggest pet peeves is the streak of anti-intellectualism that runs through a lot of culture lately, that somehow being uneducated is a virtue. Look, sometimes a role needs to be filled by someone who's trained to excel in that role. Just because someone...

    Google's Project Sunroof

    Shameless plug, but the solar company I work for helped pioneer this technology a few years ago. They rolled out the instant quote earlier this year, but like Google's map, it's only available in certain areas at the moment. But they've had their solar quote technology available for years. If...

    Most disappointing concerts attended!

    It's a tie for most disappointing for me, for completely different reasons. 1a) Sun Kil Moon at... anytime I've seen them, really. Love the albums, and Mark Kozalek definitely has talent, but he is a straight up *******. Just nothing but contempt for the audience and other bands. Just a ****...

    Music at ISU Football/Basketball Events: What have you always wanted to hear?

    This list starts and ends with Ghostface's "The Champ" for me. Take out the fake-Burgess Meredith-in-Rocky intro, and it's pretty much the perfect stadium/arena song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klByHG-dKR4&feature=youtu.be&t=22s Maybe the Roots "Here I Come," but I've always...

    Boo-urns!!!

    I bet they just introduce a new character named Mr. Snrub who comes from, uh... someplace far away. (Yes, that will do...)

    Uber

    Uber's pricing only surges during high demand times, like holidays, or if you're in an area where a show or game just let out. If you're just getting a pickup from an airport or hotel, it shouldn't be an issue, but the app will always give you a giant notification of how many times their regular...

    Would You Give Sage A Chance?

    Sage was awesome for ISU. Great QB, got ISU their first bowl win. But the guy has no coaching experience at any level, and you want to give him one of the toughest coaching jobs in the country. That is not setting someone up for success. Besides, there is one coach out there with ties to ISU...

    BYU still working at getting into B12

    I think this is correct. If OSU & FSU had lost their respective championship games (I know, hypotheticals), TCU & Baylor almost definitely would've made the playoffs and everyone would be creaming their jeans over how smart the Big 12 was to stay at 10 with no championship game. Circumstances...

    Court Storms

    Honestly, having Weber hugging me and yelling "I've got you" in my ear with his raspy, high-pitched voice would be much more traumatizing than getting pushed around by a few rowdy students.

    Would you trade the win at Iowa for a win at Tech?

    Alright, you're right, that is pushing it. Handing an unbeaten team their only loss of the season would bring a lot of positive attention to ISU, and that's worth more than an additional conference win. But other than giving ISU's RPI a nice bump and providing some good press, a non-conference...
