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

    No-brainer for me. Any conference win is better than a non-conference win, no matter the opponent. I'd trade a win at TT this year over handing Kentucky their only loss of the season in non-conference.

    BYU & ND to the BIG12...!?

    Not calling you out, but this needs to be pinned at the top of any potential expansion thread: EIGHT GAME CONFERENCE SCHEDULES ARE NOT COMING BACK TO THE BIG 12. The Pac 12 plays a nine-conference game schedule with 12 teams. The Big 10 is moving to a nine-conference game schedule in 2016 with...

    Friday OT - Favorite/Best One-Hit Wonders

    It was. Helps when your dad founded Motown and can call in a favor from the biggest pop star on the planet.

    Friday OT - Favorite/Best One-Hit Wonders

    Archie Bell & the Drells "Tighten Up" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wro3bqi4Eb8 Not so much for the song (which is great), but for the story. Band recorded it right before their lead singer was drafted to Vietnam. The song hit number one while Archie was fighting, he got wounded and had to...

    FS: x4 Great seats for WV football game on 29-Nov

    This is this saddest short story I've every read about the current state of Cyclone football. On the level of "For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn."

    Who would be our Gameday Guest Picker?

    Evan Stone, dammit. The man has more awards than most of the so-called celebrities on GameDay, and has really affected the lives of teenage runaways in the San Fernando valley.

    The Greatest Line Every Simpson Character ever delivered

    Kent Brockman is the greatest fictional newsman of our generation. Sorry, Colbert. Kent Brockman: Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside? Professor: Yes I would, Kent...

    So good. Rex Banner: Listen, rummy, I'm gonna say it plain and simple. Where'd you pinch the hooch? Is some blind tiger jerking suds on the side? Barney: Yes...?

    enCYCLONEpedia: The macro season preview

    I disagree a bit. I mean, obviously a fully healthy QB is better than an injured QB. But I think the biggest problem with the Iowa game last year was the gameplan. ISU came out and tried to run Messingham's standard version of the offense in the first half, with a lot of zone read and short...

    The Greatest Line Every Simpson Character ever delivered

    The polite clapping after Bart delivers that line really sells the joke. Also, not a main character, but I love the delivery of this line, and try to say it every time I'm at a game. Announcer 1: Hall of Famer Whitey Ford now on the field pleading with the crowd for... for some kind of...

    Moe's best line: Eddie: Did you hold a grudge against Mr. Burns? Moe: No! (The lie detector buzzes) Moe: Okay, maybe I did, but I didn't shoot him! (The lie detector dings) Eddie: Checks out. Okay, sir, you're free to go. Moe: Good, 'cause I've got a hot date tonight! (buzz) A date. (buzz)...

    san francisco/oakland vacation

    Lived in SF for the past seven years, moved to Oakland this year. It's great. Parts are still a little stabby (stay away from downtown & west oakland), but Piedmont, Rockridge & Lake Merritt are all excellent places without the techdouche stench that San Francisco has rapidly acquired. Stay the...

    What kind of fan base are we?

    Hipster PBR, clearly. We were into the Cyclones before they were big. But yeah, all these beers are the same, with a slight bump in quality from the busch/old milwaukee/natty to bud/miller.
