Trying to get everyone's opinion on if things should be changed, and if so, what kind of changes are most popular. Bear with me while I create the poll.

I don’t care… I want Jack Trice stadium to be the loudest in the Big 12 and I think that creates homefield advantage.... I want to stress to everyone…I want this place to be juiced up. They bought 36,000 season tickets so there is a passion there…don’t hide it… let it out. I want there to be a passion in the stadium."

Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other." | |

OK I posted some options. I don't know how to edit or add options for the poll, so MODS feel free to modify the poll if you wish.

I was also banking on a Hillary or Edwards upset, though that was probally a little foolish on my part (but the payout would have been huge!)
Also made the mistake betting on the wrong side of a halftime line for Kansas... ;no:

What about a possible thing where if you make such a donation you get so many credits and so forth.
Say you donate 5 dollars or soemthing to CF, then you get 25k credits to bet and so forth. This would make it more reasonable to purchase actual things with your credits downt he road. This would possibly even encourage people to donate more money to CF...I've been looking at the possibility adn thios would be a great idea I believe.
