    Cocky Hawk fans

    I know every fan base has a-holes, but seems Iowa has more of them. Last night while leaving the stadium, had a teenage or early 20 something in a group of Hawk fans hold up his hand and say, “High five, in a row!!” Showed him my middle finger. And of course this morning at Hy-Vee the Hawk...

    OSU fans about the refs

    Visited some OSU boards this morning. Couldn't believe how many of their fans felt like the fix was in in OUR favor. A lot of them believed the refs swallowed their whistles on obvious ISU penalties, but called OSU for the same or even less. I do remember a few times thinking we benefited from...

    So we're the Mendoza Line for recruiting?

    According to this --- hat. What an ahole. http://m.startribune.com/fleck-says-failure-is-growth-so-there-s-growth-in-his-first-u-result/412533013/

    Computer or internet speed causing slowness?

    Friday my dad bought a new desktop computer to replace one he's had since 2007. It's an HP he bought on sale at Best Buy for $329. It's about the most basic model out there (he only wants it for internet and email, and maybe some card games). It has an AMD A8-7410 processor with 8gb. He bought...

    Can cheaper laptops work for Netflix?

    Looking at getting a laptop for one of the kids for xmas. Not wanting to spend more than $175-200. She'd use it primarily for streaming vids from Netflix, YouTube, etc. I'm seeing some Chromebooks from HP, Acer, Samsung and a few others in that range, but don't want to buy one only to find out...

    The Secret History of Tiger Woods

    Whether you're a fan or despise the guy, this is worth a read. Powerful. Personally, I've always liked the guy. Even through all of his issues. Would love to see him be great again, but as Michael Jordan said in the article, "you're not gonna be great again."...

    Dez King coming back to Iowa

    Turning down millions to come back for senior year. Dumb move IMO. If Ott gets another year, that defense will be salty (as long as they stay away from McCaffrey!).

    Go after Brian Ferentz?

    No, I'm not joking. We all know what his dad has done at Iowa. He's proving how good of a football mind he has as an assistant at Iowa. He's spent years learning from his dad as a player and now a coach. Like his dad, he spent some time as an NFL assistant. Why not give him a serious look if...

    Crowd Complaint

    I know, I know. Here's thread #147 about this, but I'm getting tired of everyone leaving at halftime to go have a few drinks in the lots. We sit in section 30 and couldn't believe how many people got up to leave with 2-3 minutes left in the half. Even more upsetting was the number of people who...

    Just tired.

    Not going to go off on some long rant. Just going to try summing up my thoughts in a few rambling paragraphs. I like Coach Rhoads the person, the man, whatever. But as a head football coach? I did at first. He showed a passion for the job that, as he said in his locker room speech, made me so...

    For the "read into everything" crowd

    I don't know about you, but the article about Fred in today's DSM Register wasn't too reassuring. When asked if he'll be Iowa State's coach next season, he said "planning on it." Planning on it? Again I'm probably reading too much into it, but to me that says, "I plan to, but if something...

    Certain fan base extra cocky tonight

    Hope they enjoy their beat down at the hands of Gonzaga Sunday.

    6 words changed this game

    "Get that **** out of here!" We were down by 20. OU was rolling. Can't remember who, but our guy goes up for a shot and has it stuffed back down his throat. Number 11 for OU yells it, gets t'd up, and within 10 seconds we cut the lead to 15. And away we went. So, to you, Mr. Big Mouth, thank you.

    What does destroying ISU get you?

    According to the AP, it drops you 2 spots in the rankings. And according to ESPN, it's because you only destroyed "lowly" Iowa State. fml

    Sad how far we've fallen...

    I have a sick feeling in my stomach this morning. Thinking back just 2 years ago when there was so much energy and excitement around our football program. You could sense something big was just around the corner. I know the coaches and players hurt, but losses like yesterday would've stung and...

    Injuries?

    Besides Farniok and Bundrage, who else did we lose yesterday? Any insiders know how they're doing today? I know it's early and all, but just nervous about losing starters already.

    Ken Miller KXNO ripping us

    Just said no one puts lipstick on a pig better than Iowa State. Also said as long as CPR gives a good locker room speech or press conference, all is well....win or lose.

    Why was school delayed today in central Iowa???

    I didn't think it was that bad in Ankeny. I can understand schools north and east of here cancelling, but we didn't get any snow and the wind died down considerably before dawn. I know Des Moines had the sense not to delay or cancel, but what's with all the suburbs delaying? Is this a new fad...
