Feeling a little duped right now
I think it's okay to whine a little. Being upset that your team isn't good is not a bad thing. Doing that shows passion, it shows that you still care and that you haven't become apathetic. I will say that it does seem like every year ISU fans (myself included) say it's a rebuilding season and... -

TCU Game Time - 11 am
I assure you Dan McCarney is not the issue. We're seven years removed from Jamie Pollard canning him, so if we're still feeling the effects of his coaching tenure--we've got more problems than originally thought. -

TCU Game Time - 11 am
FSN isn't technically a channel. Fox Sports Networks is the collective name of a bunch of regional stations owned by Fox. I believe that the OSU game was listed as being on FSN and was on Fox Sports Midwest, which I know DirecTV subscribers in this area get. If you go to FSN's coverage map... -

Take this for what it's worth but...
I can't imagine that Mac would step down. We went and saw North Texas play just a couple of weeks ago and granted their conference isn't great, but North Texas looks GOOD. They're one game away from going bowling and he's really starting to build something there. He has several guys with him who... -

Football Players Help Raise Breast Cancer Awareness
I know we're all a bit perturbed at the way things have gone this season, so I thought this might help. Maybe some of you have seen it already, but MGMC put together a Pink Glove Dance Video that some of the ISU football players helped with. Before anyone gets up in arms about how the players... -

Shooting at Newtown, Conn. Elementary School - Gunman Is Dead
I'm fairly certain the person in custody is the younger brother of the shooter? -

Things to do in Memphis?
Not true. I wouldn't walk around West Memphis, Arkansas or South Memphsi--but to say "almost everywhere" as high crime areas is quite the exaggeration. -

Things to do in Memphis?
Memphis is a large city that has bad parts, but it is by no means a dump. Is it different than Iowa? Absolutely. Do they have more homeless people? Yep. More crime? Sure. But simple math would tell you the more people you have in a city, the higher those incidences are going to be. Memphis is a... -

Are there any hotels left in Memphis?
Germantown, Collierville, and Bartlett are all suburbs east of Memphis and all are about the same distance from the stadium and Beale. You're looking at about a 15-20 minute drive to the stadium. Beale is 5-10 minutes west of the Liberty Bowl. You could also look into staying in Mississippi... -

Golfing in Memphis
The courses in the Memphis city limits aren't all that great, but if you're looking for something closer go with Overton Park. If you're looking for a nicer course go with TPC Southwind or Quail Ridge, both are great courses. -

13,000+ Tickets Sold from ISU for Liberty Bowl
I don't disagree with you that that's all that matters. I was simply pointing out that attendance figures are skewed...and I didn't mean on our end, just in general. I was AT the Liberty Bowl in 2006 and 2007. The 2007 game between Mississippi State and UCF attendance was listed at 63,000+... -

13,000+ Tickets Sold from ISU for Liberty Bowl
Earlier in the thread someone was talking about Liberty Bowl attendance figures and I was simply pointing out those numbers are skewed. I think it's great we've sold as many tickets as we have and I wasn't insinuating ISU fans wouldn't show up. People are so quick to jump on each other on these... -

13,000+ Tickets Sold from ISU for Liberty Bowl
We do realize that the attendance number is tickets SOLD right? Generally that's what attendance figures are. So if the Liberty Bowl donates 1,000 tickets to some group and only 250 people show up from that group, it goes in the book as 1,000 being there. I promise you that there have never... -

Best urgent health care, Mercy or Methodist?
I'm assuming your parenst live in the Des Moines area--otherwise I'd recommend Mary Greeley in Ames to them. It's a smaller hospital, but contrary to popular belief smaller doesn't mean crappy. It has all of the state of the art technology and crazy good doctors that the bigger hospitals do, but... -

This is going to hurt, isn't it?
The issue here is that you didn't call the police and because you didn't, your insurance will more than likely go up. Without there being a police presence there to deem who was actually at fault, it's technically your word against everyone else's now. Always, always, always call the police. I... -

You heard it here first folks: Jon Gruden to ISU!
I love Coach Rhoads just as much as the next person and would love nothing more than to see him close out his career at Iowa State. However, he's young and the fact of the matter is if we can't somehow start getting the caliber of recruits other schools do, and if we can't stop being a 6-6 bowl... -

If you are going to Memphis.....here's a good read
That seems to be in poor taste. As representatives of the state of Iowa and Iowa State University, I would sure hope that people treat Memphis and its people with a little bit more respect. -

If you are going to Memphis.....here's a good read
Huey's is fantastic! There are 7 locations total, but 3 that are probably going to be the ones that Cyclone fans will be closest to. The closest one to the Liberty Bowl is Huey's Midtown which is located at 1927 Madison. There is also one downtown just a few blocks from Beale at 77 S. Second St... -

If you are going to Memphis.....here's a good read
It depends where you are. If you're at a bar NOT on Beale Street, it's going to close at 2am. Most of the bars on Beale will close around then too, but a handful will stay open until 3. Then there's a few that won't close until 4-5am, depending on the size of the crowd in the bar.
