    I need tailgating buddies

    This Cyclone guy needs tailgating friends for a day! I moved to Detroit before the season began, so I haven't been able to get to any ISU games this year. I'm back home in Iowa City for Thanksgiving, and want to go to the WVU game, but can't find anybody to come with me. Are there any friendly...

    *** Official ISU vs. Texas Gameday Thread ***

    I live in Detroit now. Is there anywhere/any way I'll be able to watch today's game? I'm pretty sure ABC is showing the Louisville game here.

    Question Regarding Music Scholarships

    I graduated from ISU's music program in 2010, and am now a music educator in the public schools. ISU has a truly excellent music department (it's undergrad-only, which means no TAs) but it's probably not going to offer your brother what he needs, or what he's looking for. There isn't a guitar...

    student section for yankee stadium

    Yep, the student section at the Insight Bowl in 2009 was WAY rowdy. All the students stood the whole time, as did most of the Cyclone fans in attendance. Folks who would normally be sitting down in the Jack stood nearly the whole game in Tempe. Colder weather and playing in a baseball stadium...

    Rutgers Alma Mater For those interested

    Sweet- I'm singing in the "Bells" video posted above! I seriously love ISU's alma mater. I think it's a beautifully crafted piece, and I've always enjoyed that it applies specifically to ISU, as opposed to some generic song that could be about any school.

    Would this win in a battle against Dept. of Residence?

    You won't get anywhere with that argument. Kudos on the pretty chart, though. I lived in the smallest room in the entire ISU res hall system (5627 Friley), and I stayed there for 4 years. Yes, it restricted the number of ways I arranged the room, but I found one way that worked great. I stayed...

    WTB 2 tickets to Texas game (Shocker)

    I had a Saturday obligation cancelled, which means I'm free to go to the Texas game. My girlfriend (a formerly-loyal Hawkeye) has even agreed to wear ISU colors and cheer for the Clones! Need 2 tickets; I don't care where they are. PM me ASAP! Thanks! Also: if I were to get two random...

    Band members

    Yep, it's Cowbell. It used to be played between the 3rd and 4th quarters of every game, but that started getting inconsistent in 2006, when the number of ads, presentations, and other scripted announcements started increasing. That stuff all takes time, and has to go in because somebody paid to...

    Love song mixtape help - rock, R&B, etc

    Music-loving Fanatics, I need your assistance. My girlfriend is getting home late tonight after spending a week out of state, dealing with an emotionally tough personal issue. She's a self-admitted total sucker for love songs, so I want to welcome her home with a mixtape full of them (and...

    Sale Date For Single Game Football Tickets?

    If you're truly "not trying", then I must say it comes to you quite naturally. I, for one, am glad he asked the question on the board. Looking into ticket availability hadn't crossed my mind, particularly since I'm moving out of state before football season even begins. Now I have it marked...

    I Need A New Bank

    I've been a US Bank customer since 1999, and have been thoroughly pleased with them. I've stuck with them because of their outstanding customer service- they bend over backwards to give you what you need. They have more locations than a local/state bank, but they're still a Midwestern company...

    Living in Colorado

    What about within Denver proper? What areas are more affordable? Any total ghettos or crazy-expensive areas I should eliminate right off the bat? I found this website to help me get an idea of how the metro is laid out. Click on Denver County, and it roughly shows the neighborhoods. EDIT...

    Living in Colorado

    Dang, that's a TON of useful feedback. Thanks so much! My story in a nutshell: basically, I'm following my girlfriend out there. She travels to Colorado every year and really wants to live there, so she's moving when her current lease is up in October. I like her well enough to move, and Denver...

    Living in Colorado

    I'm hoping to move to Colorado in the fall, likely the Denver-Aurora-Boulder area. Are any Fanatics who live out that way willing to share their opinions? What should I know about living in Denver/Colorado?

    Kid Bodydrops Bully

    Because there is no justice in this world, and because many school administrators are absolute imbeciles, the boy who was being bullied got suspended from school and his family was taken to court. The bully 'walked away', so to speak- no suspension, won the lawsuit. Disgusting.

    Can we see the scoreboard renderings PLEASE?

    Wow, okay. I had indeed missed that. I've been out of the loop since early January. Do we "know" anything else? Actually, where would they even put a new football building?

    Templeton Rye vs. Iowa Bourbon Whiskey

    Also, I hadn't realized this Iowa Bourbon was made by Cedar Ridge. I have no idea about their rums, but I recently tried both their vodka and gin and was totally impressed. It's really good stuff. As long as the prices are comparable, I would definitely buy the vodka over most other...

    Templeton Rye vs. Iowa Bourbon Whiskey

    If you don't even like the stuff, then why do you need an entire pallet? Sheesh. Some people. :jimlad:
