I disagree. As mentioned before that #1 team will be on gameday week 1. The environment will not even be close to as rowdy as ours. There is a reason this game and these fan bases rate so high for tailgating and passion
You guys seriously do not understand what factors are going into this and what has already been said. You are making it out to be harder than it needs to be....clemson already on it week 1....just because espn is on east coast and such does not mean they go to cuse....if it was that easy they would of been there already in the past which they have not....i said it days ago and pages up in this thread...as long as isu and iowa do not have a L on their schedule Gameday will be in Ames....a very trusted source has told me this
I very much agree with this. Unless something crazy happens, there is no way they are going to have Clemson on back to back weeks, especially when Kirk Herbstreit has been raving about going to Ames for a game for the last two seasons.
I was at the Fair on Saturday, and my unscientific poll had a ratio of 8 to 1 people wearing Cyclone gear over hok fans wearing their wallmart shirts.
I wouldn't say that it's a done deal, but with the past opinions of the CGD crew in regards to coming to Ames, and the projected rankings of both teams, there's cause for excitement.
Some of that is true, however, far more alumni from Iowa State are living in Iowa, and the older Tavern Hoks are dying out. The worm is turning, and we are all witnesses to this transformation. Enjoy this, you can tell your grandchildren some day how you were around when Iowa State became relevant on a national basis, and the hoks became perennial cellar dwellers in the Big 10.
