THE iowa state university.
maybe it is the ten-high whiskey.
make fun of me.
Ahhh Ten-High...... the poor college students answer to jack or jim. I spent many a saturday morning regretting buying that cheap stuff!
i wouldnt disagree with that. i have thought it before, not even whiskey induced. but i wouldnt want to sound like we are copying you know who.
well jim's cost skyrocketted recently. i remember when i could get my buddy for like 22 bucks, but someone told me 28 and i figured i would go with the ten-high for half price.

I know we're just shooting the **** since illinoiscyclone is...somewhat incapacitated at the moment, but seeming like we were copying tOSU is exactly why we shouldn't do it. In fact, we wouldn't just be seeming to copy them, we would be copying them, and so would anybody else who started doing it.Quote:

Given the fact that EVERY SINGLE YEAR Iowa State University enrolls more Iowa high school seniors than ANY other college or university, I think The Iowa State University is a very appropriate title.
wooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo.
Well put.Quote:

One of my biggest Pet Peaves in the NFL is during Sunday or Monday night games when the players introduce themselves and state the college they attended (or high school). You often hear guys put "THE" in front of their random school. I'd love to see that edited or bleeped out. That monicre belongs to Ohio State, plain and simple. I do believe they have earned it. Why would we want to use it? I think it sounds desparate when people use it to describe any other school but OSU.
People could also argue that we copied Texas Tech with the "Cyclone Power" chant (RAIDER! POWER!) but ehhh, I've had enough to drink tonight to tell them to go **** themselves :yes:
GO IOWA STATE!!! BEAT THE BEARS!!!
There are a lot of other schools that do the power chant as well... Washington State for example. I'm sure there are others.Quote:
