    Game Watch in Decorah, Cresco or Osage

    I will be at Luther College Friday night and Saturday for a swim meet. Not overly familiar with the bar scene in Decorah, Cresco or Osage and do not have faith that Murph's in my hometown of Riceville will have Direct or Dish. Does anybody know of a bar in one of those towns that is likely to...

    FG anyone?

    Honest question, do we not have anybody on sideline that could come close to the goal posts from 45-55 yards? Even going 1 or 2 of 4 might have provided some additional spark.

    Aaron White was right !

    I am sick of losing to teams that we are better than. :pfrown: Wait, we were not the better team today. Kruger is a good coach and we lost to a good team. Better than us in general? I don't think so, but they were better than us today. They will move on and learn.

    Was this the Hawks Final 4

    They played a spirited and spunky game. I hope they are able to put up a similar effort for the balance of their season. They just seemed to be more up & more hungry for this game than the others that I have seen them play. They are certainly one of our top three or four wins this season, I...

    Thoughts on Morgantown & WVU

    The good: The people we met were very cool. Generous, proud, and very welcoming. Not one problem or incident with a WVU fan, though we were assured that there are a fair number of "tavern eer's" on any given Sunday. Their band & mascot did a nice job of roaming the parking lot before the...

    Loss is on me & helmet guy

    I take the blame for this loss, I wore the same shirt & shorts to the game that we lost to UNI. That along with helmet guy not being at the game were probably enough to throw off the brilliant scheme that Mess had been working on for two weeks. I will be throwing that shirt away, I hope Rhoads...

    Notre Dame, no big deal.

    I am at Notre Dame this week for a class and I was really excited to come here and be wowed by the campus. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I have to say it is quite underwhelming. South bend itself was a dump (at least the way I came into town) and the campus is nothing special. It is...

    Bring Capello back!

    Ok, not really. But this post should get a reply from his dad. Kid is doing well at some place called Tiffin. Makes you wonder if he would be in mix.

    Turning the corner

    I have come to believe that the mythical corner that we keep waiting to turn is actually a round-about, and like a tourist in Europe, we have no clue on how to exit. I do find solace in that we are no longer a 'bad' program, but I will stop hoping that we will be a good program until we win...

    Drop Iowa

    Semi-serious about this. What do we really gain from playing the Hawks. Good crowd every other year....YES. Respect if we win...NO. Mocked if we lose...YES. This game is a no win game. I know we are basically 50/50 in the recent past ten or twelve years with them, so I am not afraid to play...

    At least they won their Superbowl!

    I know they handed it to us this year and they will be bowling and we won't, but it is obvious now more than ever that they view us as their Superbowl. They peaked when they played Iowa State. They put so much emphasis on the instate rivalry game that it seems like they forget about their...

    drop / buy out U-Conn.

    We need to look into getting out of this game next year (and I am not opposed to dropping Iowa in the future). Schedule MAC, WAC or SunBelt teams, somebody that increases the liklihood of a fast start. New big 12 will be a beast. Scheduling games that favor us at home and a fast start and a...

    LJ ?

    I missed the last TT touchdown (or at least I did not see how the TT player got to a position where he was standing alone) what happened. Did LJ fall or just get burned? I thought maybe he got injured because it looked like he gave up on the play. Not trying to flame LJ (good game for most...

    Hate U of I, the football team, or the fans?

    Informal poll, because I do not know how to set one up. What is it you don't like about the Hawks. For me, I have no hate for the University itself, they have done some great work on one of my kids. I really don't hate on Kirk, I think he's a class act and I love his coaching style. The...

    Honest Question - Tom Herman

    Don't beat me up too bad for this thread, I ask and honest question and want some feedback. I know that Herman is a smart guy (at least that is what we are told over and over and over it's mobious). Do you really think his offense has been better than McFarlands? Don't get me wrong, for whatever...

    Dodds = not a finisher

    Mr. bigshot I did not start this, but I will finish it, needs to sit down and shut up. Hey Dodds, dosen't look like you are going to get to finish much. From where I sit you are going to have to settle for what ever is left that fits you best. Nebby said take a hike, Colorado said via...

    Make the Big East Bulletproof

    The big east may be the best option. Get to 12 in football, 20 in bball. Have all members agree to an absurd buyout figure of $100,000,000. This would be a poison pill for raiding the conference. Their TV market is huge. They will get a network or an SEC type package. The beuaty is that ND...

    Pollard / Goeffrey re-do

    Here is what I wish these guys would have come out with after the big12 meetings. Dear Fans, We wanted to clear up our position on the big 12. We are and will remain as committed to the big 12 as they are to us. While we can state that we are proud to be a member of this fine conference...

    Time to Punch the Bully in the Nose

    OK, it's time for Beebe, JG, GG, and the rest of the AD's and U-presidents to grow some stones and tell Texa$ to screw off. How nice would the conference be without the big bully around? Drop 'em horns.....If Texas leaves, we still have plenty of coverage in the state of Texas. If they want...

    Owner vs. Fan

    Odd title, but I think one of the reasons the MBB situation is so disappointing and football until recently was a little tough (I go back to '83 as a season ticket holder) is because I feel a sense of ownership in ISU athletics. There are many times I wish I could just have a fans mentality...
