K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

[alarson]

Did I miss something? Why did the Host thread get merged with the Ireland thread?

Yeah, that was clearly an erroneous merge.

And there are 2 threads on the Ireland thing, but one is a premium board thread so it wouldnt make sense to merge.

I can do it. Look at my avatar.

Ireland or host?

I bet they have actual information over there.

 

[NWICY]

It seems like more and more schools are doing this and ISU is the latest to join the trend. I nominate Cyclone Larry!

​

​ The Iowa State Athletics Department is seeking energetic, confident and professional individuals capable of working in a fast-paced environment to serve as the Host announcer at Cyclone football games. The In-Stadium host will be responsible for presenting in-game promotions and features, conducting interviews and adding to the overall excitement of the fan’s experience.

​

​

​

​ Responsibilities Serve as the on-camera host during Iowa State home football games. Work all scheduled home football games as well as attend pre-game rehearsals, meetings and special events. Memorize all scripts and information in order to deliver a flawless performance. Conduct live hits from various locations in and around Jack Trice Stadium. Closely monitor the game flow and on-field action at all times. Be an engaging communicator who can interact with fans of all ages and abilities. Maintain a well-groomed appearance that aligns with the ISU brand.

Well for as many time outs and game breaks there are, it might help the time go faster in the stadium.

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.

I'm a long ways from a big donor, he might not know my name but recognizes me from years of meeting him in Kansas City and Ames and just making a few minutes small talk. Him and his wife are very nice people.

 

[NWICY]

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

We are going to end up with Scott Siepker

 

[NWICY]

Maybe we can get that weather guy who freaks out about storms on youtube.

Are you thinking Frankie from Nova Scotia(?)?

 

[TrailCy]

Where are these rumors coming from? Specifically?

Where’s Tron at?

Just having a hard time seeing who this game beneifts.

Do the media partners benefit? ISU KSU odd choice. Maybe nobody else will go over.? Football across the pond has a worse chance of catching on than big 12 Mexico.. if that’s possible.

Big 12 — do we get bigger media payout for this? Is the game a national prime time game?

ISU— seems like a nightmare for actual football performance, travel, logistics… ect.

KSU — losses a home game and $ that come with it. For a game between two rabid fan bases 230 miles apart that would pack the house.

I guess the 2000 people who wanted an excuse to go to Ireland benefit.

I guess it’s an “experience” for the players, don’t see how you can spin this to win any recruits or anything.

Yes, it would be a cool experience for the very small # of people who would attend, not questioning that.

 

[RoseClone]

One about a game in Ireland, and one about having an in-game stadium host at JTS?

Ya. I'm confused???

 

[jsb]

Ya. I'm confused???

I’m thinking he combined the wrong threads.

I don’t think it’s prime time. But it’s a week with maybe 3 other games so it grabs a lot of attention.

I don’t think it’s a huge deal but it’s definitely not a bad thing.

2022 Nebraska vs Northwestern in Ireland drew 4.4m viewers on Fox

For comp - 2023 cyhawk game on Fox drew 3.3

 

[Jer]

One about a game in Ireland, and one about having an in-game stadium host at JTS?

Yeah, I was tired and dealing with a wildly out of control 8 year old. I'm sorry.

I'm sure it was the only thing on. But still, great exposure for ISU and the Big12. If it is on the table, you absolutely take it.

Oh for sure the number is inflated being the only p5 game that day but yeah the exposure is the exposure

 

[burn587]

This Ireland game has been the only good week zero game for a couple of years now. The exposure aspect of it is worth it alone, Big 12 football is trying to forge a new national identity without OuT and this would help.

 

[JK4ISU]

When Nebraska played there a couple years ago, the payment system in the stadium broke and they gave the beer out for free. Looked like a fun time!

 

[Nor'easter]

Unfortunately we will 100% lose because we are always bad the first 3 weeks of the year...lol
