For those that are against the Pollard extension...

JP's got my vote of confidence. Now just win some more football games!

Huge crowd at the CR Tailgate stop as well. ISU fans are awesome. If Rhoads and GMac start winning some games.... watchout! I don't know if there's a team in the country that has had the football and MBB seasons like we've had recently... and we still get big crowds on gamedays... as well as in a mall parking lot in Cedar Rapids in May!

So the coaches he got rid of... nobody really wanted. And the ones he hired... were sought after. I still don't know why Auburn wanted Chizik, but they did, which says something that JP got him to Ames.

Amen to this my friend. This is the biggest indicator of how bad things were before we got rid of DMac and WM. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY wants either of them for a head coach even though they coached at the highest level in a BCS conference (and had some degree of success according to many of you). One can get a position coach job and the other can only sell satellite dishes.

I'm sorry, but Pollard has been a blessing to date. He isn't perfect, because nobody is, but he is a hard working son of a gun on a mission and if you can't get behind that then you have no business calling yourself a Cyclone IMO.

I came late to the CR Tailgate stop ... was during Jamies talk - there were plenty of chairs available, I was hoping that we had higher turnouts other years (this was the first one I'd been to).

Definately wouldn't have described it as huge.

(there's a slow pitch over the middle office fans)

I hate Iowa State because they renamed the College of Education the College of Human Sciences. I hate America because we have the WNBA. I cannot find a reason to hate fluffy baby bunnies. I also support JP.

Some people on this board lack a sense of humor.

They're chewing up my veggie garden and tormenting my dog.

I hate baby bunnies because there meat isn't very tender, that is why you have to make them into a stew...

I hate fluffy baby bunnies because they always get fur everywhere when I put them in a blender. They should be less fluffy.

I hate fluffy bunnies because they always hate those damn eggs too good - just found one last weekend.

**clones_jer** · 06-15-2009, 09:53 PM

jeesh, there's a lot of hate for fluffy bunnies

I thought there was a decent turnout for the CR tailgate. I think some people had already left by the time the coaches/staff talked. And plenty were still milling about outside the tent where the kids' stuff was. I know my son was pulling his dad around everywhere while I was at one of the tall tables under the tent with baby girl.
