I'm an Iowa State fan first and foremost but I am also a fan of college football in general. At 2:30 on Nov. 18th Ohio State and Michigan will face off with both of them likely being undefeated. We play Missouri that day with a 1:00 kickoff likely. If we lose our next 3 games, it's going to be extremely tempting to stay home and watch the Mich-OSU game. I am a student and this day is the first day of our Thanksgiving break. So what do you guys think? Go to a meaningless ISU game and watch us get throttled by Mizzou, or stay home and watch Mich. vs. OSU?
November 18th dilema
- Thread starter Cydog
- Start date
Go to the ISU game and tape the OSU-Michigan game. That is, if we're playing at the same time. Missouri will be playing for something that day, a better bowl bid or maybe a Big 12 North title.
If the latter is the case, good chance it will be televised somewhere.

man, this email reminds me of my days at ISU (93-97) when we'd debate freezing our walnuts off to watch ISU get throttled or watch an intriguing, nationally important game on the tube in a warm bar or apartment.... we'd do both, pending the opponent at JTS. JokersWild has a good plan.
It is not a debate for me as I have supported these players through thick and thin until the last tick regardless of what I thought of the coaching staff or the results. They bust there butt every game and I don't expect them to quit early either!
I don't see the reason you have a problem if you are a State fan "first and foremost". The basketball team made me want to throw-up last year but I still went and cheered at what little there was to celebrate. Stay home instead of leaving at halftime that makes ISU fans look bad.
I am going to the game. My dad is coming up for the game because he went to Mizzou and is huge football fan. I may have to go to their bowl game. Do I root for Mizzou at the bowl game because of my dad or do I just go as a neutral fan.
to me, that means being at Every Iowa State game possible, even if some Little 11 teams are playing a big game on TV...
Yeah.....this is a real dilema for me. I'm a lifelong Ohio State fan.
Games like this just don't come around very often. Mmmmmmm

Priorities first, are you an ISU fan or college football fan. I turn down free travel to pro games to watch a very good college game at any level, I, II, III. I am a college football fan. However, if you are ISU tried and true, back up your words, otherwise do not complain about ISU in the future...in any manner.
You are part of the generation of excitement at ISU, take the good with the bad. You want to make a difference...go to ISU game. Be a big fish in a little pond, or a little insignificant fish in a big pond (TV).
Gotta love them clones.

Even when I posted this I knew that when it comes down to it I'll go to our game no matter what. But I do appreciate good college football and even with the game being taped it's hard to avoid the scoreboard tickers in the stadium that will spoil part of the outcome. Best case scenario we play the early game on FSN. I can't see too many people showing up at this game though unless we turn it around in the next couple weeks.
ESPN will probably reshow game late at night. Too big a game for top two not to be rehyped later in wee hours.
