If you call 120° "warm" haha

ISU has a lot to offer weather-wise as well. Tell a Texas kid, sure, he might have to play outside 1 day of the year when it's below 45°. But you'll never have to play a game when it's 100°+.

I seem to remember a few years ago, when it was 95+ for the first game against UNI, then a little over 60 days later, it was 9, with negative zero wind chill, against Kansas. That sucked.

Found the hottest and coldest games in recorded history. Last year every game was fantastic weather.

Your right I am a fan. In fact I wanted to walkon there instead of ISU but private school tuition was to high ($44,400 for 2015-2016).

But as others have said you put mark Richt back to his roots with the talent in the Miami area alone and I believe they will be back at elite level soon.
When has Mark Richt ever achieved at the level of his talent? Georgia fired him for crying loud. The U is an underfunded school in a depressed area of Miami but whatever man, like what you like. But Richt is taking them nowhere.

I disagree whole heartedly. Just because they have the history of being the U, doesn't mean they will be the U again now or in the near future. If you want to go there just because it's the city of Miami, I hate to break it to you, but the campus sucks and isn't in a great part of town.

I'm not saying he should have chosen Iowa State, but to say Miami is a hands down every time pick is a little ridiculous.

It's in Miami.

See post #37.

Richt did well at Georgia. Just because he didn't meet their unrealistic expectations doesn't mean he was a failure.

And yes I will like what a like, thanks for allowing me to do that.

You seriously have no idea what you are talking about. Coral Gables is one of the wealthiest suburbs of Miami. You won't find a decent home there for under $700k. A Northridge type home goes for easily over a million there. The campus is like a resort compared to most college towns. And The U at it's worst (last few seasons) is about as good as Iowa State at it's best (Rhoad's first 2 years). Look at the records.

Yea, Coral Gables, FL. Such a depressed area of Miami:
