    Tcu has baseball.... Wvu has baseball....

    Well if we spent only $500,000 that would ensure we would be only 8-40. It would take 1.5 million, plus a $10,000,000 stadium (new or overhaul of Cap Timm). I think JP said at one time, that it would take a $10,000,000 donation to even consider it. I love baseball. I went to baseball games...

    enCYCLONEpedia: Blowout bitterness

    The really, really sad part of that commentary? That in 52 years, you can only find 27 years when we were within one game of 500. I think there are only 15 or 16 years where we had winning records. Having been a Cyclone fan every one of those years, I think I may have to drink - more.

    does miami deserve the death penalty?

    The NFL is not going to do that. The NFL is about making money and keeping good players from enhancing their product is not in their best interest. That is just not happening.

    does miami deserve the death penalty?

    If true, they do. However, it is not going to happen. People saw the impact of SMU and they will not do that again. We'll see what happens.

    Kansas to Pac 10 if A&M doesn't accept?

    The PAC 10 does not want anything to do with Baylor. That is why they offered Colorado seperately. They will offer KU seperately, if needed, to keep Baylor out of the mix.

    Worst/Crappiest beer you've ever had

    So Many Choices, So Little time My personal worst was Pitosi. Pure Rot Gut! Billy Beer was especially awful. And te 1960's version of PBR was brutal. Schmidt Beer was a candidate as well. Like, I am sure, the stuff today, it had one particular value to a college student - cheap.

    I AM SO LIVID AND OUTRAGED!

    Well, duh. It was Drake's game so I don't think Pollard had anything to say in the matter. I doubt the Drake AD bothered to ask anyone at ISU what we wanted. Did you want to address the problem or just ***** about Jamie Pollard. I am constantly amazed at the lack of basic knowledge by some of...

    Big 12 mulls changing North, South scheduling

    The Big Ten has to add 2 games, if it wants to add. Thus, they would have a round-robin. Adding one game is mathematically not possible for the Big Ten, since they have 11 teams. 11 times 9 is 99, and that does not divide by 2 (number of teams in each game).

    bowl eligibility will renovate JTS

    All Athletic Capital Projects are funded privately or by private Revenue, such as ticket sales, and not from funds affected by the cuts. There may be a internal University political restraint on spending with such cuts around, but the funding stream is not impacted by the cuts. It still will...

    Is McDowell in the doghouse or hurt?

    Well it sure looked like he got hurt against SDSU. He went off after the kickoff return severely favoring one of his shoulders. He never returned.

    What can ISU do to raise money???

    And you have identified the perpetual ISU Proplem ISU fans - the large portion - have been historically weak at understanding financing athletic programs. While we have many, many fine donors, we have too many who would always rather find the cheap way out. How many offers to sell or...

    ISU-Iowa Football Tickets

    I think a lot of people were turned off by the way the spread the ISU fans out to about 6 different areas. Our seats were the worse we had ever had at that pathetic stadium. Bad sight lines. I would not be going back if I weren't going with the people we have been going with for years. They...

    Which Helmet do you like best?

    Of your choices, I like the 76-78 version. It would be better with the current I-State logo. My personal preference is the Solid Old Gold of the Stapleton (Dirty Thirty) era.

    Favorite Cyclone Football Moment?

    Okay, but his Biggest Return Ever was his return against Nebraska in 1976 during the 37-28 burning of the Fuskers. He was an all-confernce performer that year. You ask most Cyclone fans about the Luther Blue return, and they will talk about the Nebraska return. I understand that the KSU one...
