    Re: Cyclone Fanatic Field of 64 Best Sports Movies Ever

    I 2nd the motion to put in Beerfest for the second Kingpin. It's what Ernie McKrakin would want.

    Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:

    It wasn't as strong of a contender as everyone thought it was going to be. It was kind of like the Hawkeye Football team, a lot of talk but nothing to back it up.

    When was that the movie for Homecoming?

    By the way are there any possible 5/12 upsets on the horizon?

    I'm just saying, someday you're gonna rent Diggstown, and you're gonna freakin love it man!

    but I'll admit it is a little under that radar.

    Re: Cyclone Fanatic Field of 64 Best Sports Movies Ever

    THe second Kingpin has been replaced... Sorry, no beerfest. The comittee (me) decided that it just didn't play in a strong enough conference.

    I tell you what, this was tough work, had to move some movies to different regions. Sad thing is that I own and have seen almost all of these.

    Not that old. I graduated in '82. I can't even tell you what the movie was that year. Heck I probably didn't even go to homecoming...

    Look at the possible match up in the round of 32. Rocky vs. Rocky. Wow!!! Who would've thunk that?

    Best in Show is a good movie only because of Fred Willard's triumphant performance. I'd still rather have Landfill.
