K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

[Jeffrey Scott]

I was in Ireland during last year's Notre Dame/Navy game. The Fighting Irish took over Dublin. The Navy fans, not so much.

If you've ever had the opportunity/excuse to go to Ireland, this is it. Great time of year, and it is beautiful.

Didn't care about the game. I was there on business/vacation. My regret is that I waited until I was 70 years old.

Fly from Boston on Aer Lingus. No hassle. From Boston it's like taking a domestic flight. The minute you are on the plane you are in Ireland. It's the easiest international trip I've ever taken.

Pay KST in Ireland-stupid.
Then face jet lag and **** practice week to come back and play Iowa - Bullship

It wouldn't be the next week. Iowa is week two. The Ireland games are week 0.

Agreed, except I think Iceland is an easier trip. From Boston you'd only have like a 4 hour flight

Ireland is about the only place I dream of going to. Make it so

When I dream about moving out of this country, Ireland and Iceland are the two places that I'd go. Ireland is wonderful!

Have you ever actually met the guy? He's a straight up awesome human. I was at an ISU tailgate before the game in Akron back in '17, and he was just tailgating with that group, doing his thing, and was just a hoot.

A good buddy of mine worked in his department years ago and said he was pretty sure that he was forced to do those crowd cheers and knew it was completely cheesy. But that was also the birth of "Cyclone Power" too.

Yes. Hes great. Fact still stands

#1 thing that needs to be done is never let the opposing team bring their band. Both bands trying to play over the other during the game gives me a massive headache.

 

[Daserop]

Irish people learning that Iowa and Kansas are states. Then wondering where they are on a map of the United States.

 

[MushroomPinball]

Polishing my resume now.

Never heard that euphemism before.

 

[HouClone]

I have a suggestion. How about Ball State against Akron instead of K-State/ISU?

 

[clone52]

You don’t have much experience with the hiring process huh?

Well, not submissions that they would make public and let the fans vote on.

Good point, they'll get some crazy things.

Seconded. Hes a first class human being. His wife is great too.

 

[Hoggins]

I’d consider going. I love Ireland and need to go see the North.

No one in Ireland really cares though. I was there last year during the Gaelic Football Championship and County Kerry was going nuts for that though

 

[Clonehomer]

Gosh I wonder if beer will be available for purchase?

Will the Busch Light be served at room temperature?

 

[New lone]

If they hire the right person and empower them this could be a huge success. Definitely interested to see improvements they could help make.

 

[Cyched]

Never heard that euphemism before.

 

[Clonehomer]

There would be a week in between. Game in Ireland would be Week 0.

So would we then get an extra bye week or would we play week 1?

 

[Candide]

I think it was the birth of Cyclone Power. It was the best thing to come out of those cheer sessions during games.

They were doing Cyclone Power in the mid 90's when I was in school.

 

[Clonehomer]

One of the requirements is extensive on air experience. Won't be getting any crazy random fan submissions.

So like Matt Perrault?

 

[OldCurmudgeon]

I nominate Josh Pate for this one. He could do a Late Kick live after every game.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

So would we then get an extra bye week or would we play week 1?

Already an FCS game on the books for Week 1 so there'd be an extra bye week in October or November.
