looking for RV pass for TCU game. I’ll start the offer at $250

Does anyone know what the ticket limit is for sales through ISU when they become available on Thursday? I need to get tickets for a group of 6 together. I wouldn't think that'd be a problem but we've always bought through StubHub in the past, so thought we'd see what we could get through ISU this year.

Sounds like we got a Blueblood reviewing us. The little jab at the end saying Campbell will be a super star at his next job makes me want to eat fire.

Ran across this on YouTube. I thought these guys stressed last year's pass defense stats a bit much, considering the overall defense, but the video was still worth watching.

$850 for whole season of C5 parking pass willing to negotiate a bit. PM if interested

Nothing earth shattering. Wait, since when is ISU having a deep and talented linebacker corps not earth shattering?

Julian Good-Jones up to 312? Interesting...and among the gems in the interview.

People that said that Butler didn't drop a lot of passes need to see this:
"His completion percentage was 66.51 percent, 15.60 percent lower than his on-target rate. While Hakeem Butler was an excellent safety valve that allowed Purdy to chuck the ball up sometimes, Cyclones receivers finished the year with a drop rate of 8.7 percent. That's not good, and Butler was the biggest culprit (he had a drop rate of 15.2 percent)."

Looking for a indoor venue to host my daughter's 1st birthday in October. Will have roughly 40-50 guests. Would prefer a space where we can bring our own food/decorations, but would be open to a restaurant if pricing for venue+food was reasonable. Outside of needing tables/chairs and a bathroom, can't think of any other necessities.

We live in Ankeny - would be open to suggestions anywhere in the metro. We've called a lot of the "standard" spots; golf courses, hotel conference rooms, rec centers, etc. Some are okay, and some of them are way more than we want to spend. Hoping CF can provide some outside the box ideas!

Thanks!

Looking for RV pass for ISU/IA. Prefer D3 or D4. PM if selling.

Last night's game was mostly good....players who made marks included Ty Summers, Darrius Shepherd, and Ka'Dar Hollman. I thought Kizer and Boyle both played OK, Kizer is just too inconsistent from one play to the next.

J'Mon Moore missed his chance to solidify a roster spot....seems like he juggles or drops everything thrown his way.

Will be good next week to see Za'Darius Smith and Rashan Gary lining up together (hopefully). Word from camp is both of them are wreaking havoc on the offense. Maybe we will have a defense we can actually depend on for a change.

Want a front row single seat in the upper deck for the Iowa game? Will sell for well below market value. Send a PM (Conversation).

It's super slow around here, and I'm low on ideas, so I'm throwing crap against the wall in hopes it sticks!

Let's play a game of "Would You Rather?" - you can either answer someone else's question they posed, or post a situation of your own for others to answer. Basic premise, just give a two-choice situation for others to answer.

Some starters:

- Would you rather have a summer cold or a winter stomach bug?
- Would you rather have front-row 50-yard-line season tickets for football, or courtside at half court for basketball?
- Would you rather fight a wild animal or your significant other when they are hangry?

Fifty years ago this morning, Los Angeles and the world awoke to the news of five particularly grisly slayings. Charles Manson had sent his disciples to 10050 Cielo Drive, where they slaughtered Sharon Tate and four others, in an attempt to start a race war. The next night two more died.

These and other events, including the riots of 1968, marked the end of the flower power era. Peace, love, and dope still abounded, but somehow the country was losing its innocence, and its era of good feelings.

Starting this thread occurred to me for a couple reasons.....first, the wonderful Woodstock thread that @cyclones500 started, and the release of Quentin Tarantino's new film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which is set at that very time.

I have read and watched a great deal of information about Manson and his followers. Although nowadays we have so many people doing crazy things, back in 1969 the idea that someone could exert a spell over so many people, including getting them to kill innocent, unknown people simply because they were commanded to do so was a truly frightening concept. Manson is dead, but his legacy lives on.

Who will be awarded #58 this season. My guess is Matt Leo or JaQuan Bailey. I would love for it to be Bailey. As good as he has been bringing Iowa State to the level we are at now I think he deserves it 100%.

This will be pretty cool.

A couple fun facts on attendance:

ISU attendance since 1994:
- Has increased 179k (213k to 392k, 7 games v. 6 games in 1994)
- Average Attendance has increased 20.5k (35.5k to 56k)

Since 2008:
- College Football (FBS level) Attendance is down 11% (47k average in 2008, 42k 2018)
- ISU has added 12% capacity to our stadium (55k to 61.5k)
- ISU has seen average attendance increase 18% (47k to 56k)

Compared to our friends to the east:
- Per Game Attendance at Jack Trice 1994 - '98 : 37,591; 2014 - '18: 55,043 (+46%)
- Per Game Attendance at kinnick 1994 - '98: 68,438; 2014 - '18: 66,938 (-2%)
- Avg Annual Attendance* Jack Trice: 1994 - '98: 225,738; 2014 - '18: 362,409 (+61%)
- Avg Annual Attendance* kinnick: 1994-'98: 410,630; 2014-'18: 468,565 (+14%)
- kinnick recently shrunk capacity 2% (70,585 to 69,250)
- Jack Trice was 61% of kinnick's size in 1998 (70,397 v. 43,000); Today it is 89% (69,250 v. 61,500)


*NOTE: Avg Annual Attendance numbers in 1994 - '98 were for 30 games for both team (average of 6 games each season); From 2014-'18 kinnick had 35 games (7 per season); Jack Trice had 33 games (6.6 per season).

This is one time my fat would save my life. No way I would ever get stuck in there.

Johnston is 1 game away from going to the little league world series. They played this morning on ESPN in their semi final game and won. They now play Saturday morning to go to the LLWS. That game is on ESPN also. Pretty neat to see a local team do this well.

My wife and I are coming into town and looking to buy an RV pass for the Iowa game. Let me know if you have one for sale and what you’re asking for it.

Thanks in advance!
Joe

Rob crushes it again!
