What game are you most fired up for this year?

[StPaulCyclone]

NU and CU for sure. I would like the Clones to whip them on their way out. NU at home this year and CU on the road. Next year ISU can send off CU's new coach with a loss in Ames.

Utah is very intriguing.

I would like to have a better game against UofI.

NIU! I truly feel that the NIU game will set the tide for our season. We win, it gives the team a ton of confidence. We lose and it could spiral out of control in a hurry.

 

[Cyclonestate78]

To be completely honest... the best way of that happening is simply ISU fans buying the tickets through season tickets and mini-packs before the single game tickets go on sale. Do you see that happening? I hope it does, but I am not sure.

I can see it happening. I would hope after last seasons surprise turnaround that ISU fans will show up in big numbers this year. More season tickets, more minipacks, etc....

Hell.... JP should try any possible way he can think of to keep Fusker fans out. Offer discounted "extra tickets" to season ticket holders, donors, or even offer discounted hillside tickets for students so we can cram the Jack full of ISU fans.

This is very true. If our fans get off their butts and buy tickets through season tix or mini-pack that will help a lot. Problem is, we dont and that leaves them open to any fans of the other schools. Nebraska will get their allotment, but all the rest are b/c ISU fans sold them theirs or they just order through the tix office b/c we didn't sell our own. I honestly get sick and tired of hearing people complain that the opposing team has more fans their than ISU....get off your butt and buy the tickets so the opponent cant.

A week before single-game tickets go on sale, JP can announce that a certain number of tickets will be given to donors proportional to their donation amount. The number of tickets given will conveniently be equal to the number of tickets not yet sold for the NU game. :smile:

I like that idea.
I just have a gut feeling that this current rave and resurgance of ISU football interest b/c of the BIG12 crap is short lived. I worry that a 3-9 or 4-8 year this year will mean many less tix sold next year.

Are we legally obligated to give Nebraska a certain alotment of tickets? Is there any way that we can skimp on the amount we give them or just not give those bastards any at all? I wish JP could pick up the phone and call Tom Osborne and say "Hey Tom... you know that game in Ames this year? Well you can go ahead and tell your fans **** YOU for me because we aren't giving you any tickets. Enjoy the Big 10 *******."..... click.

I am not a fan of that either, that is a BS move. I was not a fan of when Pollard jacked up the Iowa allotment price a few years ago. I say play nice and give Neb their allotment, and hope ISU fans get serious about supporting the program and show up.

Unfortunately, yes. 4,000 or something like that.

Necrapska for sure. Us fan really need to organize something for this.

Yeah, so the same ISU fans who currently sell their tickets to kNU fans will now have free tickets that they can sell and now make a hefty little profit. I would rather if there are a bunch of Fuskers in the stadium that the proceeds of most of those sales are in the ISU AD coffers.

 

[Cyclonestate78]

CMO4CY's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

In our current situation the road ahead is only going to be tougher for ISU. I think our fans understand that so we have really reached the crossroads for our football program. It is time to sink or swim. JP is all in. CPR and his staff are all in. The players are all in. Now it is just time for the fans to decide if they want to go all in and give this program the boost they need to compete. At the end of the day the fans decisions with their wallets will make or break this program it's as simple as that. Time to sink or swim because we are going to get what we pay for in the end.

 

[WalkingCY]

The Nebraska Game, period.

Win at all costs Cyclones.

NE

However, my crew will be making our 6th, and apparently last, trip to Boulder.

We always have a good time in the RV, hittin Ole's on the way (and Bobbie B's in Crook CO), and an added bonus of Denver and KC NFL game then next day. I'll be lookin forward to that trip.

 

[LZclone]

NU and CU for sure. I would like the Clones to whip them on their way out. NU at home this year and CU on the road. Next year ISU can send off CU's new coach with a loss in Ames.

F&$K CU, I'm looking forward to the road trip this year, but they made their bed and we shouldn't play them in '11!

I have never cared for CU. Their coach is an absolute loser. Their fans have the collective maturity level of a 5 year old throwing urine bombs, bottles, etc... onto the field to the point where their game a few years back against the Fuskers had to be stopped for 20 minutes to clear out their entire student section. Then that recruiting scandal with the hookers, strippers, etc.... Colorado just wreaks of class. Pure class. They will not be missed at all.

 

[aauummm]

Nebraska and its not even close, I am more fired up for the Nebraska game than any other game all year anyways, but this year the Jack is going to be rocking!

I agree. And yes we will make the Jack rock!!!:yes:

Nebraska. No contest.

I would have to agree with the majority of the posters, Nebraska would be number 1 on my list. It would be nice to put it to those bastards one last time before they leave for good.

This.

I remember watching this on TV... Is it uploaded anywhere? I wouldn't mind rewatching it.
