    Best Game Ever Seen (most exciting/memorable)????

    '92 Iowa State versus Nebraska. I believe they were ranked in the top 10 and we beat them 19-10. Rushed the field, tore down the goal posts...ahhh, the memories! One of my buddies got trampled after going over the wall and falling...Hawkeye fan by the way but he likes tailgating in Ames...

    No more talk about Hawkeye luck....

    I don't give a crap about "luck." These guys did what they needed to for the win, period! Without their starting QB and one of the top RB's in the nation, they did what they needed to do as a TEAM. Seeing the emotion from CPR brought a tear to my eye as well...the man is emotional and a true...

    Who is the real A-Rob?

    I just looked at the link and Alexander is leading in the poll by a long shot...BUT...is it going to change anything or are the Sqwakeye fans and media going to continue to call both A-Rob?

    ESPN projecting us in Texas Bowl

    Just the thought of winning as many games this season as Cheesedick did in 2 seasons has me giddy...that's a huge improvement in my eyes.

    Offical Postgame thread

    2 very nice sacks in the 2nd half had me impressed...another bright spot on the D side hopefully.

    I thought that the Towers were being demolished

    I lived on 9th floor Wilson in the early 90's...we would take a golf ball into the restroom on a windy winter night and watch the ball start slowly rolling back and forth...was freaky to watch. If my info and memory is correct, Towers was built in 1973 and was only for temporary use...no more...

    Best Cyclone football memory

    Easily my best memory as well. A good friend of mine from my hometown got trampled as he went over the wall to go onto the field with us. You must have been up there with my roommate...he was like the 3rd or 4th person to get up there if memory serves me right. The walk back to Towers was...

    Who's the best? Chevy ~ Ford ~ Dodge...

    I've owned one of each and have to say I like my Ford F250 Crew Cab the best...rides nice, zero problems and lower insurance rates. Had a '96 Chevy half ton and it was a very nice, dependable truck, just didn't have enough towing power for me. The '99 Dodge...junk. Had transmission issues...

    Bought a minivan today

    Exactly!!! With stow and go seating you can cram a lot of tailgating supplies into the back of those things! We bought a 2008 Dodge last year and love the stow and go, dvd system for the kids, and the fact that we averaged over 26mpg on our vacation, driving 75 on the interstate and 60-65 on...

    Most popular Liquor in Iowa

    I had a good chuckle out of this ranking...my dad, a cheap Iowa Hawkeye fan, drinks both the Hawkeye and 5 o'clock vodkas, and makes fun of my wife and I for drinking Absolute or Grey Goose...both of us being ISU alums by the way!

    The State Patrol doesn't like my window tint

    Way to say it Phaedrus! I agree on how to treat the troopers...I was pulled over in my Grand Prix due to tinted windows a few years ago. I acted dumb about the law and kept it light with him. He showed me the reading, explained what was legal, and gave me a warning/fix-it ticket. I joked...

    ISU MBB going up tempo....

    Very well said. Changes are needed in the program to compete in the Big 12 and beyond...lets hope GMac sticks to it. As was stated...GMac appears to be recognizing that changes are needed, and right now that's all I can ask for as well.

    Unforgetable one liners in movies

    Lets say the average person uses 10% of their brain. How much do you use...1 1/2%. The rest is clogged from all of the hops and bong resin.

    Another Vegas question thread

    From my experience, going directly to the airline websites gets you cheaper fares. I fly a lot and always try the 2nd party sites and get nowhere except $5-20 higher rates. If you don't mind the drive, try flying out of Omaha or Cedar Rapids...both are cheaper for the airlines which makes it...

    Can someone explain to me why Foreclosures

    Well said! I realize that some people were duped into these loans, but these same people are the ones who have never looked at their personal balance sheet nor do they have a "rainy day fund." My wife and I have gotten to a point in our lives where we are paying down debt at a very nice...
