Dang, I am surprised I haven't heard/seen this yet. You have intrigued me my friend and I thank you.

Question is: Does he have some kind of connection to ISU or was he doing it to be ironic?

One of the stops was at C.Y. Stephens.

The whole tour/series aired on HBO last year, I believe.

Might have been HBO, I think I saw reruns on Comedy Central.

Yep, he stopped at ISU (think it was one of his first)

Fraternity Vacation, I think that was the name. It was terrible, but I have it recorded somewhere. Tim Robbins was in it and they were from Iowa State. They even flew out of the DSM airport in the snow. Not sure if it was really the DSM airport or not.

Grey's Anatomy---
Huge guy in a Hospital bed is talking to one of the shows main character's Alex which is a Doctor. He said he was a college wrestler. Alex said where did do you wrestle? The Guy said "Iowa State". Of course Alex said he wrestled at Iowa and then they gave eacher High fives and talked wrestling the rest of the show. Kind of odd for a major, major tv series, but sort of cool.

The blonde character (AJ?) came into the scene dressed in totally 80s neon beachwear ready for a day at the beach playing volleyball. His brother calls him out as having ulterior motives (women) as you would wear "an Iowa State sweatshirt and cutoffs to play volleyball at the beach".

Totally irrelevant but hey, it's July and there's nothing else to talk about. Anybody else know of ISU references in t.v. or movies (there was a whole thread on the mystery science 3000 scene)?

what, was Murder She Wrote not on?

Ok. Don't judge me. On One Tree Hill, they played the state championship basketball game at NC State's arena. But, when they cut back from the action on the floor, it was actually Hilton during a game.

Also, on Diff'rent Strokes, Arnold and Willis had an Iowa State banner up on the wall in their bedroom. Too bad they both ended up with serious issues in real life...
