Of course the movie roughly begins in Iowa where James Kirk originates from and guess what...........Even 300 years later there is still nothing but cornfields! Also of course crude farm...

    Did I miss something?

    The news just said that the Hawkeyes are probaly going to be ranked 20th in the nation preseason. Not only that, but they are going to have 3 Nationally covered night games on Saturdays this year! :cool: I just find it hard to believe that the pre season ranking can be accurate with their...

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    After taking a look at the graduating Seniors, the loss of Shawn Greene, players leaving and strength of schedule it seems as if it will be an uphill climb this year for the Hawkeyes. Both their offensive & defensive lines take a major hit this year with many starters/players graduating. Also...

    Bowls,Polls,and Tattered Souls opinion

    A little while back I read Stewart Mandel's Bowls Polls and Tattered Souls,and thought the book was very interesting. Other than his blatent hatred for Notre Dame (my other team) I appreciate his opinion. Of course like any cyclone homer, when each page was turned I wondered if Iowa State would...

    Best/Worst Football Helmets?

    A friend and I got into a debate about who has the best/worst helmets in football right now. We of course talked about tradition and color layouts, but never could fully agree. It would be cool to see what others think is the best or worst. Hopefully this topic has not been covered in the past...
