    WVA is class

    I cannot say this about all Big XII or even Big 8 universities but after watching a bunch of of old reels, West Virginia is a classy organization and we should do what we can to keep them in the Big XII. Adding Cincy is a plus. WVA took a chance on us when we didn't have a heck of a future...

    Hey Old People (Hawks and Clones alike) *Nice thread*

    How many years did we not appear in this neighborhood? How many years did we we not both enjoy success at the same time? How many times did we donate, scream our heads off, and only come short? This is a special day, Saturday. The victor goes on with high expectations. The loser has the...

    Printed Ticket = Win

    I had a problem with Ticketmaster and Cyclones.com getting them to work on my phone. I also have had ZERO coverage around Jack Trice Stadium with my phone. I have a weird carrier. It is no different this year. But I was at home and printed my own ticket on my crappy inkjet printer. Dude at...

    How do you get your tickets for football?

    I cannot create a Ticketmaster account because they don't accept my phone number. It's an Ames, IA phone number. It is a VOIP number I have had for 10+ years. It is my only phone. I am certain 98% of people with $1000 phones and tons of expendable income will not have this problem and will...

    Whoah! I get Channel 5 ABC again on antenna!

    It's channel 5.5 but I don't care. After 20 years of not having an ABC Affiliate in Central Iowa, Welcome back! Whatever wizardry you did in Alleman, do it again for 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, whatever. You are now servicing Polk and Story County with your channel!

    Kristin Scott's sub-par performance in the Okie State game

    I was dissapointed in Kristen Scott's performance in the Oklahoma State game. She had zip - zilch - ZERO offensive rebounds for the entire game! It's like she made every shot and free throw or something - and that would just be crazy. She has to grab at least a couple of her own mis-fires...

    Centurylink Internet: Just say NO

    I had Centurylink DSL in West Ames IA for 2 1/2 years and endured the daily outages, 10 M down and 1 M up speeds, and frequent 1 minute outages throughout the prime time hours. At 58 bucks a month I just figured I was getting the best they offered, being just blocks from their hub on West...

    Bug Chromebook (Google) big problems

    When opening CF in Chromebook Chrome Browser, CF takes over the entire screen and does not allow user to close the tab, navigate to another tab, or make any changes to the page. You can navigate within the site (thus my ********) but cannot go to other tabs or even control my screen. App based...

    Just cancelled Cyclones.tv

    Seems you have to have Microsoft's Silverlight extension/ bloatware to view old games and archived stuff now. I do not use Microsoft products or systems, so... goodbye. Cyclones.tv was a good idea but it is no longer a platform that wants to get maximum revenue from alumni and fans who are...

    CFL: Cleyon Laing tearing it up in first game Tor vs. Ham

    Had a critical sack in the waning moments of Toronto's 39-34 come-back victory over Hamilton. TSN/Toronto announcers were gushing over him as a dominate rookie DE and how "good things always come out of Ames and the Iowa State System". They credited Iowa State's recruitment of Canadian...

    Why not groom Messingham?

    We're not anyone's little sister. We are Iowa State. We are not tOSU or USC or even Tejas, but realistically we will not be a BCS perennial - nor am I sure we really want to be. But beating ranked teams and making the whole situation crazy in college football and going to bowls is a great...

    Go To Class

    Just a reminder to athletes - even when an instructor doesn't take class roll call, your AD people are still watching and taking note. Some of them note when people are absent. Go to class. Even if you don't feel like it - even if you are asleep - go to class. I hope this post doesn't...

    I'm afraid of the new scoreboard & the marketing peeps

    With the upcoming 2012 TV Rights arrangement with Tier 1, 2, and 3 rights becoming more of premium, Iowa State has a chance to make more revenue than before and Iowa State fans unable to attend home games will be offered access never seen before on a weekly basis. This is all well and good...
